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 documents published by ProPublica, three Trump administration Cabinet members signed mortgages classifying separate houses as their principal residences, with the requirement that they make these homes their principal residence for a year.
- There is no information showing that they failed to meet this requirement.
- No government officials' statements or news reports indicate that these Cabinet members were targeted for prosecution.
In a separate case, Federal prosecutors indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on charges related to mortgage fraud stemming from how she classified a house in Norfolk, Virginia, on a document.
