Claim Misleads About 'Mortgage Fraud' on Trump's Cabinet
A liberal commentator on a CNN roundtable claimed that three Trump Cabinet members committed 'mortgage fraud,' but this statement is misleading.
According to ProPublica, an investigative media outlet, three Trump administration Cabinet members signed mortgages that classified separate houses as their principal residences. However, the documents required that they make these homes their principal residence for a year, and there is no information indicating they failed to do so.
No government officials' statements or news reports have been found regarding these Cabinet members being targeted for prosecution.
In a separate case, Federal prosecutors indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on charges related to mortgage fraud stemming from her classification of a Norfolk, Virginia, house on a document.
