纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯因抵押贷款欺诈被起诉
摘要
纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯因涉嫌虚报居住身份以获得优惠贷款条件，被控抵押贷款欺诈并遭起诉。
纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯近日被弗吉尼亚州联邦大陪审团以抵押贷款欺诈罪名起诉。起诉书指控詹姆斯在2020年购买的弗吉尼亚州诺福克一处房产中，虚报其意图将该房产作为次要住所，从而获得更优惠的贷款条件。
此次调查始于联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特的举报，他称詹姆斯可能通过虚报该房产为主要住所而实施抵押贷款欺诈。
詹姆斯否认有任何不当行为，称这些指控“毫无根据”，并带有政治动机。她强调将继续履行总检察长职责，并表示：“我不会沉默，我不会被欺凌。我不会屈服，不会崩溃，也不会向任何人低头。”
此次起诉发生在前总统唐纳德·特朗普公开呼吁起诉其政治对手，包括詹姆斯之后。批评者认为，此次法律行动是特朗普政府更广泛政治报复模式的一部分。
詹姆斯定于10月24日出庭，该案由弗吉尼亚东区法官贾马尔·沃克负责审理。
