New York AG Letitia James has hired attorney Abbe Lowell to respond to the allegations that she was involved in some sort of mortgage fraud on her various properties. If Lowell’s name is familiar it’s probably because he was Hunter Biden’s attorney last year. He has also worked for Sen. Bob Menendez, Jared Kushner, Gary Condit, John Edwards and others. Today, Lowell sent a letter to the DOJ countering the claims made in a criminal referral of AG James.
