According to reports, people familiar with the matter said that Bill Poulter, who is in charge of housing affairs, also checked loan information related to Attorney General Todd Blanche when checking mortgage data on US President Trump's political opponents last year. At the time, Poulter and Blanche, who was the second head of the Department of Justice at the time, disagreed over the investigation of these political rivals' mortgage records. People familiar with the matter said that some officials believe Poulter is trying to gather information from Blanche and others in order to crack down on each other and pressure them to speed up related investigations. The dispute between the two revolves around the investigation of the president's key concerns, including California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom have previously initiated investigations against Trump. Last year, Poulter submitted mortgage fraud charges against Schiff, James, and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to the Department of Justice. Trump has been trying to remove Lisa Cook from office. Poulter denied having obtained any internal files in violation of regulations. Poulter's lawyer said that “any claim that Director Poulter checked” Blanche's mortgage files is untrue.
