(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump has once again peeled back the curtain on corruption in D.C., this time setting his sights on none other than Senator Adam Schiff, a man whose smug face has become a permanent fixture on cable news, usually while spinning up some wild conspiracy theory that miraculously never turns out to be true.
On Tuesday, Trump announced that Schiff has allegedly been caught red-handed in a mortgage fraud scheme uncovered by Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division. Yes, that Adam Schiff, the same guy who spent years accusing Trump of every crime under the sun, apparently couldn’t keep his own financial affairs clean.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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.”
According to the report, Schiff, who was a California Congressman at the time, allegedly claimed that his primary residence was in Maryland in order to score a cheaper mortgage. Meanwhile, he was still casting votes in California and supposedly residing in a modest Burbank condo, if by “residing,” we mean occasionally checking the mail.
Trump continued, “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,” Trump added, “and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

The origins of this potential scandal date back to April 2023, when a California citizen dug up documents that suggest Schiff may have misled lenders about his primary residence. According to records, Schiff purchased a 3,420-square-foot home in affluent Montgomery County, Maryland, back in 2003 and declared it his “primary residence.” But somehow, he also managed to maintain voting status in California and claimed his Burbank condo as another “primary residence.” Must be nice to have two “primaries” when the average American struggles to afford one.
Schiff refinanced the Maryland home in 2009, 2010, 2011, and again in 2013. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation looked into the issue. Schiff claimed it was a mistake and paid back the tax exemptions he wasn’t entitled to in Maryland. Case closed, right?
Not so fast. If you or I had played fast and loose with residency laws and financial disclosures like this, we’d probably be watching Judge Judy from a federal holding cell. But Schiff? Don’t count on it.
It’s no secret that Washington elites love holding others to a different standard, especially when there’s a “D” next to their name. Schiff has skated through scandal after scandal, from peddling discredited Russia hoaxes to botched impeachment fantasies. So the odds of him facing real consequences over mortgage fraud? Let’s just say we won’t hold our breath.
Adam Schiff talks a big game about “truth” and “accountability,” but behind the scenes, he’s been playing his own game of financial shell shuffle.
If there’s one thing the American people deserve, it’s equal justice under the law. That means Schiff, like anyone else accused of fraud, should be thoroughly investigated and, if found guilty, held fully accountable.
