Trump Accuses Adam Schiff of Mortgage Fraud After DOJ Criminal Referral

MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – The Federal Housing Finance Agency referred Senator Schiff to the Justice Department over alleged false residency claims to secure better mortgage terms, with accusations spanning 2009 to 2020.

  • On July 15, 2025, President Donald Trump accused Senator Adam Schiff of `a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud`, citing Fannie Mae's Financial Crimes Division conclusion.
  • In its timeline starting February 6, 2009, the alleged mortgage fraud began with a Maryland property refinance and lasted until its designation as a second home on October 13, 2020.
  • A complaint lodged by Christine Bish and Darren Ellis in October 2024 alleges a two-decade pattern of mortgage fraud, voter fraud and unlawful campaign filings.
  • Schiff responded by calling the accusations 'baseless attempt at political retribution', saying they won't distract him from holding the former president accountable.
  • The legal outlook suggests the 10-year statute of limitations likely expired in 2023, given the last alleged refinance transaction occurred in 2013, making charges unlikely.
