Trump alleges mortgage fraud against Schiff amid political tensions

President Trump accused Senator Schiff of mortgage fraud, alleging he misled lenders about his primary residence, which Schiff denied as a political retaliation. An investigation by Fannie Mae did not conclude that Schiff committed fraud, merely noting possible occupancy misrepresentation. Schiff dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated, linking them to broader controversies involving Trump, including the Jeffrey Epstein case. Schiff has a history of opposing Trump and has been targeted with personal attacks, but his mortgage arrangements have been deemed legally permissible.
