Overview
- James’ motion discloses internal Fannie Mae messages in which senior fraud investigators said there was no clear evidence to prove mortgage fraud.
- The filing alleges FHFA Director Bill Pulte made the criminal referral and provided financial calculations that appeared in the two-count indictment.
- Her lawyers question how Pulte accessed nonpublic loan information and say the case proceeded in Alexandria after a separate Norfolk grand jury was previously empaneled.
- The filing criticizes special prosecutor Ed Martin for posing outside James’ home and sending a letter urging her to resign, which the defense says violated DOJ rules.
- James seeks grand jury records from both venues and says required discovery remains missing, as she maintains a not‑guilty plea with a January trial scheduled.
