AG Bondi Appoints Special Prosecutor to Investigate Schiff, James Mortgage Fraud Allegations

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed DOJ official Ed Martin as a special prosecutor to investigate Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegations of mortgage fraud. Schiff is under investigation for allegedly falsifying documents to claim a Maryland home as his primary residence while also maintaining a condominium in California, with investigations underway by federal prosecutors and grand juries. Letitia James faces scrutiny not only for mortgage fraud allegations related to a Virginia property but also for a possible politically motivated lawsuit against the NRA, with the DOJ's newly formed Strike Force referring her case to a grand jury. President Trump has publicly called for the prosecution of both Schiff and James, releasing evidence and urging accountability. The investigations include grand juries in Maryland, Virginia, and Albany, New York, and have been spurred by criminal referrals from agencies like the Federal Housing Finance Agency. These probes mark a significant legal challenge for two prominent Democrats, with the appointed special counsel Ed Martin known for his aggressive prosecutorial style.
