WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday called for California Democratic
Sen. Adam Schiff to be “brought to justice” for alleged mortgage fraud — after a federal housing agency sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding Schiff’s ownership of a Maryland home.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. And now
I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that
Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a
cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA
because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff
was a Crook,” the president wrote.
“The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February
6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.”
Trump added: “Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff
(now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”
A senior administration official told The Post that the Federal Housing
Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae, sent a criminal referral to
the Justice Department requesting further investigation.
“It is extremely serious and [Schiff] is not taking it seriously,” said that official — who added that the senator could face a criminal count
for each time he paid his monthly mortgage bill.
Trump told reporters on the White House lawn Tuesday that “I would have thought he covered his bases a little bit better than that. Adam Schiff
is a low-life, he deserves what he gets.”
Schiff is a former House intelligence committee chairman whose unproven
claims about Trump’s ties to Russia enraged Republicans and led to his censure. He also served as chief manager in Trump’s 2020 Senate impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate alleged Biden family corruption.
