Letitia James hires Abbe Lowell amid criminal charges, challenging Trump’s narrative.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, long known for her partisan crusade against Donald Trump, has now hired one of Washington’s most notorious Democratic fixers to defend her from criminal charges of her own. James has hired Abbe Lowell — the same high-powered D.C. attorney who represented Hunter Biden — to fight off a federal indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud.
According to the indictment, James falsified loan documents when she bought a home in Virginia, netting approximately $19,000 in savings.
Lowell issued a brief statement Thursday, declaring that his client “flatly and forcefully denies these charges.”
Lowell added, “We are deeply concerned that this case is driven by President Trump’s desire for revenge.”
Revenge for what? For building her entire career on using her office to target Trump—she literally campaigned on it—and for bringing a so-called “fraud” case that was a farce from day one. Her argument was that Trump exaggerated property values to secure better loan terms, something every developer in America does. As Kevin O’Leary explained, that’s how real estate works: banks don’t just take a developer’s word for it; they run their own numbers, make their own calls, and assume their own risks.
