While speaking to the press outside the White House on Tuesday, President Trump blasted California Senator Adam Schiff, saying he’d love to see the Golden State lawmaker “brought to justice” for possible mortgage fraud.
“I think Adam Schiff is one of the lowest of the low. I’d love to see him brought to justice… Adam Schiff is a serious lowlife,” Trump said.

Trump shared similar comments in a TRUTH Social post, saying, “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.”
“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.”
At The Drill Down, we just want to say: We hear you, Mr. President.
Last October, GAI Director of Research Seamus Bruner wrote an article about Schiff’s possible mortgage fraud for The Drill Down entitled Adam Schiff’s Conflicting ‘Primary’ Residences in Mortgage, Election Documents Raise Fraud Concerns.
From Bruner’s article:
In at least three instances, documents show that in 2009 and again in 2011 and 2013, Schiff refinanced his Maryland home and declared it was his “principal residence” at the same time he had declared his principal residence was in the California, according to 2009 and 2011 financing docs for his Burbank condo.
The pattern was first detected by Sacramento-based real estate investigator Christine Bish, who also is running for Congress as a Republican this year, who filed an ethics complaint against Schiff in Congress. The accompanying documents were then confirmed independently by GAI.
The conflicting declarations were not resolved until 2020 when Schiff suddenly changed the notations on his Maryland mortgage to be a secondary residence. Bish alleges this change constitutes an admission by Schiff that the prior conflicting declarations may amount to a pattern and practice of mortgage fraud.
Law enforcement experts said the documents could form the basis for prosecution. “These are serious, documented allegations which carry significant criminal penalties if substantiated,” retired FBI supervisory special agent Jeff Danik said after reviewing the documents at GAI’s request.
