Overview

  • President Trump posted on Truth Social that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division concluded Senator Adam Schiff engaged in a sustained pattern of possible mortgage fraud by misdesignating his Maryland home as his primary residence.
  • The Federal Housing Finance Agency has formally sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department for potential prosecution of Schiff, citing occupancy misrepresentation on his loan applications.
  • A confidential Fannie Mae memo reportedly found misrepresentation on five loans between 2009 and 2020, fueling disputes over dual-home filings under ambiguous residency rules.
  • Schiff denies any wrongdoing, calling the allegations politically motivated retaliation and stressing that his lenders were fully informed of his year-round use of both properties.
  • No formal charges have been filed as regulators and Fannie Mae continue their reviews while media outlets examine the evidence and broader concerns over politicized legal processes persist.
