[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m guessing none of the legal geniuses on Trumps team bothered to read paragraphs 6 and 7?  Because 7 does not follow from 6.

Can you explain the problem with 6 and 7? As a non-lawyer I read it as saying she got the loan as a second residence which she could not rent out, and she rented it out.

Aside from that: I'm confused because the Perrone charge involves a 2020 mortgage but the criminal referral letter referred to a 2023 mortgage for a Norfolk home her niece was going to be living in. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26180109-850643623-letitia-james-order/

In the lawfare article (which has the link to the criminal referral) it discusses her Brooklyn home, a Jamaica NY property where at some point someone wrote that she was married to her father, and the 2023 mortgage for the Norfolk home for her niece, but than says "Perhaps becoming desperate, prosecutors have reportedly also probed whether a separate Virginia property of James’s was described as both a “second home” and an “investment property.” This separate count could, remarkably, be even muddier than the Norfolk question: The Fannie Mae guidelines on the subject, ABC News reports, are vague, and senior DOJ leadership is skeptical." https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/next-up--letitia-james

So Halligan must have given up on the 3 original referrals and gone for this other one?

It doesn’t say she can’t rent it out.  It says she cannot enter into an agreement requiring it to be rented.  When you look at the actual rider, it specifically says she can do short term rentals.  And it seems that’s exactly what she did here since she reported less than $5k in rental income.
