NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW: Adam Schiff Begins Preparing for Legal Defense as DOJ Circles.
The man who led the prosecution of President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial is now worried about his own defense.
Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, the longtime California congressman and chief impeachment manager against Trump in 2019-20, has launched a legal defense fund amid accusations that he engaged in mortgage fraud for more than a decade.
It’s an accusation Schiff denies, but the director of the Federal Home Financing Agency is talking very tough.
In a criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi sent in May, FHFA Director William Pulte wrote that Schiff and his wife, Eve, purchased property in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003 that they affirmed would be their “primary residence.”
That designation, Pulte wrote, enabled the Schiffs to “receive more favorable loan terms, including lower interest rates, than secondary residence mortgages.”
The problem for Schiff is that at the same time, he was receiving a homeowner’s tax exemption on a condo he owned in Burbank, California, which he was also claiming as a “primary residence,” according to Pulte’s letter.
