From the New York Post: Department of Justice Special Attorney Ed Martin was spotted in Brooklyn Friday inspecting Tish James’ multi-family residential property that is at the center of a federal mortgage fraud investigation.
Martin, conspicuous in a beige trench coat, visited the Clinton Hill brownstone a week after being appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi to run parallel mortgage fraud probes into the New York attorney general and her fellow Trump-deranged Democrat, California Sen. Adam Schiff.
Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are currently weighing criminal indictments for James and Schiff respectively over allegations they falsified property records to secure favorable loan terms.
James’ Brooklyn property at 296 Lafayette Avenue is classified as a five-unit dwelling, but James is alleged to have misrepresented the building on mortgage applications, building permits, and filings for government assistance as having only four units.
The alleged misclassification allowed her to qualify for loans with better interest rates and lower down payments through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are only available for properties with four or fewer residential units.
While Martin was standing on a public sidewalk in front of the house looking it over, an irate neighbor approached him and demanded to know what he was doing.
