President Donald Trump has accused Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) of mortgage fraud when Schiff was a member of the House of Representatives.
In a posting on Truth Social, Trump stated Schiff listed a property in Maryland as his primary residence so he could achieve more favorable mortgage financing terms.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump wrote. “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. 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 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. Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”
The Fannie Mae website has no mention of an investigation into Schiff, nor has Federal Housing Finance Agency Director and Fannie Mae Chairman Bill Pulte commented publicly on Trump’s claims. Whether criminal charges could be brought is unclear, as a statute of limitations related to this case would have expired.
The mortgage fraud charge against Schiff first surfaced in May when the right-wing online news site USA Herald published a report that claimed the allegations against Schiff was a “developing scandal that’s sending shockwaves through Capitol Hill” – however, no major media site covered the story.
The charges against Schiff, a longtime congressional foe of Trump, mirror similar charges raised against another Trump adversary, New York Attorney General Letitia James, on a mortgage that she co-signed in Virginia that she identified as her primary residence. The charge against James was first raised by Pulte – it is uncertain if Pulte was also behind the new focus on Schiff.
As of this writing, Schiff has not publicly acknowledged Trump’s statement.
Only dictatorships jail political opponents on conveniently manufactured charges. It won’t be long before every person who is good, kind, and believes in the letter of the law, is thrown out of the country, thrown in jail, or worse.
Very sad times for our beautiful country.
You are joking, right, Virginia? If so, that’s a good one and you are quite the clever comedian! (But, if not…were you maybe living on Mars from 2020 to 2024? Those years were without a doubt the saddest of times for our beautiful country.*)
* If that’s the case, I envy you! (Though I do hope you made sure to designate Mars as your primary residence.)
Considering all the lawfare attempted against Trump, this is sarcasm, right? Either that or you’re a totally brainwashed Leftist moron.
where is the mass deportations? where is the list??
Yes mortgage fraud is very serious. Trump ought to know
So you’re outing yourself as a totally brainwashed Leftist idiot, too? You probably believe all the Russia, Russia lies generated by Clinton and the Demonkraps through the thoroughly debunked Steele dossier, too?! LMAO!!
Dreki G and Vincent Vero you are the ones with your brainwashed MAGA brains. No it isn’t sarcasm. This crook of a President making millions in grifting for his family is trying to bring down our country and all of those trying to defend our democracy and call out his actions. Now we have the Jeffrey Epstein stuff but hey he needs to make up stuff about Schiff so everyone will focus on that and look away from Epstein. There is a reason regular news channels including his; FOX has not put out the story on Schiff. He promised you MAGA people to see those files where are they? As I have said before you just keep crowing about your MAGA king until he comes after you and then you will be saying like many Trump supporters out there “Oh I didn’t think he was going to do that”. Open up your eyes and use your brain he wants to be a dictator.
💯% agree with Deb! Anything to distract from the Epstein scandal. Trump’s name is all over it. He’s disgusting and how anyone can support a pedo says a lot. Not to mention ALL of Trump’s crimes and grifting. Say what you want but the truth on Trump is there. Schiff is just another…look over here.
Occupancy fraud is a crime. Period. Politics matter not.
Thank goodness, a reasonable human being.
Congress issued this official statement in regard to Adam Schiff :
“AS chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all-out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president, at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives,” Luna said before the vote. “With access to sensitive information unavailable to most members of Congress and certainly not accessible to the American people, Schiff abused his privileges, claiming to know the truth while leaving Americans in the dark about his web of lies… lies so severe that they altered the course of the country forever.”
That was a statement from “luna-tic” not congress.
Like anyone cares what you think weather your republican or Democrat we are minions to these people they’re all getting wealthy kickbacks paid by lobbyist come on and the American people fight with each other. This is getting so sickening.
Yep, that is about it!
That keeps the politicians and the insiders in power making lots of money off the $broke hard working Americans
It so sad to see this beautiful country and countrymen up in arms with one and another over the dumb cultural wars. This is exactly what the enemies of America and its way of life have been dreaming about.
It’s so so sad to see America on the verge of imploding from within. How could one man nearly 80yo be the straw that broke the camels back. The reality is that he is riding the wave of right wing conspirators over the past 40years. It is total victory for Rush Limboff and others alike.
The Dems are no better and no less guilty in the cultural war of America. They failed to act forcefully to defend American values when needed to. They responsible for turning the country into a haven of lawlessness behavior and turning Americas beautiful cities into sanctuaries for illegal immigration. Shame on them for being out of touch with large portion of the electorate base. It certainly came back to bite them in the ass!!
I hope it’s not too late for America and our beloved Democracy to survive/
Well said! Our country is being torn apart, and we are more divided than ever.
So the convicted felon is threatening the former FBI director. That’s rich. 🙄
