March 26 (UPI) -- The Trump administration is again seeking to prosecute New York Attorney General Letitia James after a judge threw out its case against her and grand juries twice declined to indict her last year, according to reports.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte is accusing James of alleged homeowners insurance fraud, according too documents obtained by CNN, NBC News and MS News.
Pulte reportedly issued criminal referrals dated Wednesday to the U.S. attorneys for the Justice Department in the Northern District of Illinois and the Southern District of Florida, asking them to investigate James over alleged misrepresentation in insurance applications.
According to the documents, Pulte alleges that James may have defrauded an Illinois-based insurance company as well as a Florida-based company in connection with her applications for homeowners insurance for two separate Norfolk, Va., properties.
