President Donald Trump has dropped a bombshell on social media, pointing the finger at Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) for what he calls a long-running scheme of possible mortgage fraud, as Breitbart reports.
Trump’s latest accusation, shared on Truth Social on Tuesday, centers on claims that Schiff misrepresented his primary residence to snag a better mortgage rate, sparking a firestorm of debate over ethics in politics.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump declared in his post. Well, if true, this could be a textbook case of playing fast and loose with the rules — hardly the integrity we expect from a public servant.
Allegations of fraud surface
According to Trump, the alleged misconduct started way back on Feb. 6, 2009, with the refinancing of a property in Maryland. Schiff, as a congressman from California, was supposed to reside in his home state, yet Trump claims he listed Maryland as his primary home for financial gain.
This isn’t a one-off, per Trump’s account — the questionable dealings reportedly stretched over multiple transactions. It wasn’t until Oct. 13, 2020, that the Maryland property was finally reclassified as a second home, raising eyebrows about the timing.
Trump’s post didn’t hold back, citing a conclusion from Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division that Schiff engaged in a sustained pattern of possible fraud. If accurate, this paints a troubling picture of accountability — or the lack thereof — in Washington.
Trump’s broader critique
“I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook,” Trump asserted in his fiery message. That’s a bold claim, but in a town where trust is already in short supply, such accusations demand scrutiny, not dismissal.
Trump also brought up past grievances, recalling a time during his first term when he suggested Schiff could face treason charges over a misleading narrative about a call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It’s clear there’s no love lost here, but personal history aside, the mortgage issue stands on its own merits for investigation.
Adding fuel to the fire, Breitbart News previously reported in December 2021 that Schiff appeared to have manipulated evidence during a Jan. 6 committee hearing. While unrelated to mortgages, it contributes to a narrative of questionable ethics that Trump is eager to highlight.
Financial ties, public silence
Beyond the mortgage allegations, Trump’s criticism aligns with broader concerns about Schiff’s record. Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer’s book, Blood Money, points to financial connections between Schiff and individuals linked to criminal networks in Southern California, often tied to money laundering and drug trade activities.
“Financial connections to individuals involved with criminal networks,” Schweizer wrote, painting a damning picture. If true, it’s a reminder that public officials must be beyond reproach, especially when representing vulnerable communities.
Schweizer also suggests Schiff’s silence on the national fentanyl crisis might be tied to avoiding scrutiny of these alleged ties. It’s a speculative leap, but in an era where drug issues plague countless families, any hint of conflict of interest stings.
Public reaction, political implications
Public reaction on social media hasn’t been kind to Schiff either, with one user snarking, “Schiffty getting exactly what he deserves.” It’s a sentiment that reflects frustration with career politicians, though we should wait for hard evidence before passing final judgment.
Another unnamed commenter quipped, referencing New York Attorney General Letitia James, “Schifty Schiff and Letitia. Headed to prison.” While the hyperbole might be over the top, it underscores a growing distrust in elected officials that both parties must address.
Ultimately, Trump’s accusations against Schiff raise serious questions about integrity in public office, whether it’s mortgage dealings or past controversies like the 2019 impeachment probe. The American people deserve transparency, and if there’s even a whiff of wrongdoing, investigations must follow — turns out, actions might just have consequences.
