President Donald Trump unleashed a harsh attack on Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Tuesday morning, reiterating 2024 allegations that Schiff committed mortgage fraud by lying about his principal address for over a decade, which the lawmaker rejects.
In a Truth Social post, Trump called Schiff a “scam artist” and claimed he obtained a mortgage for a Maryland home in 2009 but only designated it as a second home in 2020 as part of a ruse to get better rates and terms from the company, which has been in federal conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis.
The president stated that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division had discovered the suspected wrongdoing. Schiff purchased the Maryland property while serving in Congress in 2009, and he became a senator the following January. Schiff described the claims as “baseless.”
“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.
