Trump Calls Adam Schiff Mortgage Fraud Prosecution

President Donald Trump has publicly accused California Senator Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud, alleging that Schiff misrepresented his primary residence to obtain favorable mortgage terms. Trump shared documents, including a notarized affidavit, suggesting Schiff designated a Maryland property as his principal residence despite also maintaining a condominium in California, where he serves as a congressman. Trump called for Schiff to be prosecuted, comparing the situation to attempts to prosecute himself and others in what he describes as a hoax. Schiff has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated and a distraction from other controversies involving Trump, while refusing to directly respond to some media inquiries. Investigations by Fannie Mae found a possible pattern of occupancy misrepresentation but did not conclude any criminal wrongdoing. A criminal referral submitted to the Department of Justice alleges that Schiff falsified documents over several years to secure better mortgage terms, fueling ongoing political tensions surrounding the accusations.
