Donald Trump’s top housing official Bill Pulte issued two new criminal referrals for New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday, attempting to revive the administration’s ongoing legal pursuit of one of his political opponents.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, issued two referrals to the Justice Department, one to the US Attorney for Northern District of Illinois and another to the US Attorney for Southern District of Florida.

If federal prosecutors were to pursue a new set of charges based on Pulte’s recommendation now, the case may look substantially like the Trump Justice Department’s failed fraud case last year against James in the Eastern District of Virginia.
