President Donald Trump’s criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James was thoroughly flattened in a prosecution memo drafted by people who had investigated the case for months, reported ABC News on Thursday. The controversy stems from a second home James purchased, which Trump’s housing finance director, Bill Pulte, claimed was made with fraudulent statements on a mortgage application. When the seasoned prosecutor heading up the Eastern District of Virginia U. S. Attorney’s office refused to bring this case, Trump forced him out and replaced him with partisan loyalist Lindsey Halligan, who promptly took the charges to a grand jury and secured an indictment. However, according to the report, prosecutors listed serious problems with the charges from the start in this memo, concluding “that any financial benefit derived from her allegedly falsified mortgage would have amounted to approximately $800 in the year she purchased the home . The government lawyers also expressed concern that the case could likely not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt because federal mortgage guidelines for a second home do not clearly define occupancy, a key element of the case, according to sources.”This comes after reporting that Halligan fired Elizabeth Yusi, the career line prosecutor who drafted the memo, last week. It also comes after Halligan has made a number of glaring mistakes in her quest to prosecute both James and FBI Director James Comey, including filing incorrect charging documents with the court.
