American Senator Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud, a Trump administration source told Fox News, the latter reports.

The source said a criminal investigation is being conducted by the US Attorney’s Office in the state of Maryland on possible charges involving mortgage fraud.

The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that Schiff, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms.

In a 2011 affidavit signed by the then California congressman, Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland, is his primary residence.

Schiff also owns a condominium in Burbank, California, which he has also claimed as his primary residence as recently as 2023, during his campaign for Senate.

To note, Adam Schiff is a pro-Armenian US lawmaker.
