The documents show that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development opened an investigation into Hill last year, accusing her of applying for and receiving a $428,000 federal loan for a mortgage on a home.

That home was sold by HUD and is the same one that state investigators said Hill took after fraudulently obtaining a power of attorney over a 96-year-old woman.

They said Hill also took $100,000 of the woman’s money and allegedly spent it on purchases including a facelift.

Hill has denied any wrongdoing, and she has not been charged with any federal crimes.
