Last week US Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DOJ official Ed Martin as special prosecutor to investigate Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud.
On Friday, Ed Martin was spotted outside of Letitia James’ Brooklyn home as a grand jury weighs a criminal indictment in his mortgage fraud investigation.
One of Letitia James’ neighbors confronted Ed Martin as he inspected James’ 5-unit property.
“No, you tell me why you’re here,” a woman said to Ed Martin.
“I’m interested in houses,” Ed Martin said.
“You’re not here about the houses…You’re here because of who lives here,” the angry woman said. “It’s my neighborhood. It’s my block. I have a right to know what you guys are doing.”
The New York Post reported:
Department of Justice Special Attorney Ed Martin was spotted in Brooklyn Friday inspecting Tish James’ multi-family residential property that is at the center of a federal mortgage fraud investigation.
Martin, conspicuous in a beige trench coat, visited the Clinton Hill brownstone a week after being appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi to run parallel mortgage fraud probes into the New York attorney general and her fellow Trump-deranged Democrat, California Sen. Adam Schiff.
Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are currently weighing criminal indictments for James and Schiff respectively over allegations they falsified property records to secure favorable loan terms.
TGP has extensively and exclusively reported on Letitia James’ mortgage fraud via Joel Gilbert:

The Trump Administration recently criminally referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Justice Department over accusations of mortgage fraud.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) accused Letitia James of falsifying records, citing a 5-unit property in New York she claimed was only four units in order to get a more favorable loan.
TGP recently reported on this 5-unit property in Brooklyn that Letitia James purchased in 2001.
For more than 20 years, Letitia James repeatedly claimed her Brooklyn apartment building was a four-unit property on mortgage applications—despite official records proving it had five.
This is not a minor discrepancy. Lying to the bank about the unit count enabled Letitia James to secure more favorable loans, including a 2011 Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) loan that saved her tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Letitia James was able to secure a conforming loan through Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac since they are only available on properties up to 4 units.
The Certificate of Occupancy clearly states it is a 5-unit family dwelling.
