Trump Repeats Schiff Mortgage Fraud Allegations

Former President Donald Trump has accused Sen. Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud, alleging that Schiff improperly listed his Maryland home as his primary residence from 2009 to 2020 to secure better mortgage rates, despite representing California in Congress. Trump claims Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division identified this conduct, though no public evidence or official investigation has confirmed the allegations. Schiff and his office have repeatedly denied the accusations, labeling them as 'baseless,' 'debunked,' and politically motivated. Prior inquiries, including a 2009 House ethics review, found no wrongdoing or violation of residency or mortgage laws. Legal experts and multiple sources state that the renewed allegations lack substantiation and appear intended to retaliate for Schiff's role in Trump’s impeachment. Critics argue the claims are politically driven rather than a pursuit of legal accountability.
