Reuters reports:

• Iowa's attorney general, who is leading a nationwide probe of questionable home foreclosures, met with struggling homeowners on Tuesday and said he may bring criminal charges in his state.

Miller heads up the multi-state foreclosure probe comprised of all 50 state attorneys general. They have met with leading U.S. mortgage servicers to discuss a settlement over allegations related to shoddy foreclosure paperwork, which some homeowners say have resulted in illegal evictions.
