up on Letitia James. He's the source of all this information. Sam, thank you so much for joining us here on the set. Thank you for having me on, sir. You're a New Yorker, you live right down the street, and this is some fantastic work here. I want to start and get into the just the specifics first. Starting with this Virginia property that she claimed as her primary residence while she was, I mean this is Norfolk, Virginia, this is probably 5-6 hour drive, claiming it's her primary residence while she's the AG of New York. From your report, you say James signed a specific power of attorney declaring her intent to make 604 Sterling Street in Norfolk, Virginia, her principal residence, a legally binding statement that may have automatically vacated her position as New York Attorney General under Public Officer's Law 30, a declaration that came just 45 days before she launched her case, her civil fraud case, against Donald Trump. Tell us more about what happened in Virginia here. She purchased a property with a relative, it was in 2023, a few weeks. She closed on it right before the Trump trial, and in the file documents with the county clerk's office, there was a power of attorney that she gave her cousin or niece to close the mortgage, and on the power of attorney she represented I intend to use this property as my primary residence. Now there's two problems with that, the first problem is she lied on a power of attorney. Would anybody really believe that she was going to move to Virginia in the middle of the Trump trial? Second part is there's section six of the mortgage that states that the borrower, meaning her and her niece, have to occupy the property as their primary residence within 60 days. Not one or the other, both. Wow. She at least never occupied it. Right, that's fine. And what was the motivation to do this? Why lie? Lower interest rates. Lower interest rates. I call her a petty thief. A petty thief. This is, I mean, this is, when you look at the allegations she made against Trump, is this act worse, better, same? Well, no, listen, Trump is not a real felon. I'm a real felon, okay? So Trump didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, you don't think you don't see anything wrong in the case he made against Trump? You think, I mean, obviously the jury here thought that he did something wrong. Well, listen, you should have listened to the appellate arguments because the appellate judges seem to be, they're gonna, it seems like they're gonna write an opinion that's gonna vacate the entire case. Yeah, okay, yeah. It's because, I mean, it obviously was, we were all astounded by what they charged him for that, that penalty was ridiculous. I want to move on here. Let's talk about Brooklyn, New York. This is her actual main residence. She walked out of this house this morning, a townhouse she owns. It's a multifamily home. You discover James has been claiming that her townhouse is a four-unit dwelling when it actually has five units. Why would she do this? To obtain lower mortgage rates. Again, motivation. If one to four units has different underwriting guidelines and also insurance too, by the way, insurance for it. Whereas if it's five or more units, it's considered a commercial property and also subject to different insurance guidelines. She repeatedly lied because there's a certificate of occupancy that states that it's five units. And in New York, that rules and it's unbelievable that the that complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings and they wrote it off as a minor problem, minor, minor error. Where every other landlord in New York, if you pull that stunt, legal conversion, having a building that's different from the certificate of occupancy, they will fine you. They will make you all to the building. She's flat out lying on these documents. She didn't deny anything about it. 1983, she takes out a $30,000 loan with her dad. She files it as a husband and wife. She's married to a father. Why? First of all, that was discovered by Joe Gilbert, not me. I don't want to take credit for anybody's work. All right, that was 1983. What he found was that she she bought the house as father and daughter and then when they did the mortgage, it was husband and wife. Also, you get different underwriting as husband and wife than as you buy it as partners or two family members. Now, this is different from the Brooklyn home. This is different property. I think it was in Queens. Yeah, it was a long time ago. This is 41 years ago, 42 years ago. We have allegations of flying private on taxpayer money, almost $42,000 to places like Martha's Vineyard, Puerto Rico. We have luxury hotels with mischaracterized unofficial filings. What can you tell us here? Let's break it down. Between 2021 and 2022, she used private jets to get around, spent $42,000 of taxpayer money. The vendor she spent the money on was called Venture Jets. No other government agency, because the information is out there, back to 2014, ever used venture jets for private jet travel, period. Then in 2022, when the government stops paying for it, her campaign starts paying for it. Now, let's go back to this stuff that the taxpayers paid for. If you align the payments for venture jets in those trips, because you don't pay jet travel net 30 days, you pay COD cash on delivery. Some of those trips align with major campaign events that she was attending. That's a problem for her. That's a big, she has a lot of problems here. It's unbelievable reporting. We've dug through, I think, the bulk of what you have found, I believe. Real quick before I let you go, you have a past. Yes. Tell us how you got so good at what you just did. You worked on this for seven months. How did you get so good at this? Because I was a criminal for 20 years, and I was very good at doing what I did as a criminal. Morality aside, the FBI saw a talent in me, and they helped me out going forward after the crazy Eddie case. The FBI taught me, when I was being investigated, the FBI taught me how investigations are done. All of the beatings that the FBI gave me when I was doing crime may be into a better human being. That's amazing, and you said you like to figure out puzzles. I love puzzles, I love numbers. Listen, I am not the Trump administration. I don't work for the Trump
