President Donald Trump has called for Senator Adam Schiff to be “brought to justice” for alleged mortgage fraud.

On Tuesday, Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that Schiff (D-Calif.) has broken the law by previously claiming a home in suburban Maryland as his primary residence.

“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.

“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,” he continued. “Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

The New York Post reported that the Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department requesting further investigation.

“It is extremely serious and [Schiff] is not taking it seriously,” said that official — who said the senator could face a criminal count for each time he paid his monthly mortgage.

In an X post, Schiff went on to deny any wrongdoing.

“Since I led his first impeachment, Trump has repeatedly called for me to be arrested for treason. So in a way, I guess this is a bit of a letdown. And this baseless attempt at political retribution won’t stop me from holding him accountable. Not by a long shot,” Schiff wrote.

“This is just Donald Trump’s latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies. So it is not a surprise, only how weak this false allegation turns out to be. And much as Trump may hope, this smear will not distract from his Epstein files problem,” he wrote on a responding thread.
