Overview

  • Trump escalated his campaign on Truth Social by labeling Adam Schiff a “thief” and urging prosecutors to seek jail time.
  • He publicly released a November 4, 2011 residence declaration that he says proves Schiff misrepresented his Maryland home as his primary address.
  • A Fannie Mae memorandum flagged a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation by Schiff and his wife without concluding any illegal conduct.
  • The Federal Housing Finance Agency referred the matter to the Justice Department and continues its inquiry without issuing a formal finding.
  • Schiff rejects the charges as politically motivated retaliation and defends dual-home designations as a routine practice for members of Congress.
