Claim Misleads About 'Mortgage Fraud' on Trump's Cabinet
A liberal commentator on a CNN roundtable stated that three Trump Cabinet members committed 'mortgage fraud', but this claim is misleading.
According to ProPublica, an investigative media outlet, documents show that three Trump administration Cabinet members signed mortgages classifying separate houses as their principal residences. However, the documents required that they make the homes their principal residence for a year, and there is no information showing they failed to do that.
There have been no government officials' statements or news reports about any of 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 how she classified a Norfolk, Virginia, house on a document.
Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy.
In conclusion, the claim about 'mortgage fraud' on Trump's Cabinet is misleading and lacks evidence.
