BREAKING: Senator Adam Schiff Under Criminal Investigation for Alleged Mortgage Fraud

Washington, D.C. — In a shocking development in American politics, Fox News host Laura Ingraham revealed on her show “The Ingraham Angle” last night that Senator Adam Schiff is currently the subject of a criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland. The investigation reportedly involves allegations of mortgage fraud, which could lead to serious federal charges.

“A source from the Trump administration tells us that a criminal investigation into Adam Schiff is underway,” Laura Ingraham announced at the start of her special segment. “The investigation may involve falsifying bank documents to receive more favorable loan terms.“

Where the Allegations Came From

This story traces back to an exclusive report aired by “The Ingraham Angle” last month. According to that report, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) filed a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing Adam Schiff of falsifying information regarding his primary residence on mortgage applications to secure preferential financial terms.

In a sworn affidavit from 2018, Schiff stated that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland was his primary residence. However, during his 2023 Senate campaign, he declared that a condo in Burbank, California was his true primary residence.

This contradiction raises major concerns: Can someone legally claim two different properties as their “primary residence” for financial and legal purposes?

“The law doesn’t work like that. This isn’t a game,” Laura Ingraham remarked sarcastically during the broadcast.

Schiff’s Response So Far

As of now, Senator Adam Schiff has not issued an official response to the allegations. However, a 2023 campaign spokesperson had previously stated that the Burbank condo was Schiff’s primary residence, and that:

“Adam’s properties in California and Maryland have both been listed for loan purposes because they are occupied throughout the year and distinguished from a vacation property.”

Legal experts quickly cast doubt on that reasoning.

“The law does not allow you to claim two primary residences for the same financial purpose. One must be primary, the other cannot be,” said a banking law expert who requested anonymity.

What Has Schiff Said in the Past?

During a 2023 public appearance, Schiff was asked about having homes in both Maryland and California. He responded:

“I think just about every member of Congress has a residence in their state and a residence back in D.C. Since we are in session much of the week, families make decisions about where their kids will stay. But our principal residence — our primary residence — is California. It always has been and always will be.”

Laura Ingraham quickly challenged that narrative:

“If California has always been his primary residence, then why did he certify Maryland as his primary residence on mortgage documents in 2018? More importantly, did he benefit financially from that claim? That’s the heart of this investigation.”

Legal Implications

Falsely claiming a primary residence on mortgage documents can lead to federal mortgage fraud charges. Under U.S. law, knowingly providing false information on mortgage applications can result in up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million, depending on the severity of the offense.

“If Schiff intentionally misrepresented his primary residence to receive better rates or loan terms, this qualifies as financial fraud — not just a clerical oversight,” said Richard Ballinger, a law professor at Georgetown University.

Impact on Schiff’s Political Career

Adam Schiff, a high-profile Democrat, has been a central figure in Congress for years. He previously served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and played a major role in the impeachment investigations of former President Donald Trump. He is currently campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat in California.

If the investigation moves forward publicly, it could significantly damage his reputation and political future.

“Voters deserve to know the truth. If Schiff has been dishonest about his personal finances, it raises serious questions about how he’d handle public funds,” Laura Ingraham stated.

What Happens Next?

So far, the Department of Justice has not made any public statements about the investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland has also declined to comment, citing “an ongoing investigation.”

However, Fox News and “The Ingraham Angle” have pledged to continue following the story closely.

“This is a story we’re not going to drop. We want answers, and the public deserves transparency,” Ingraham concluded during her segment.

Conclusion: While no official charges have been filed yet, the revelation that Senator Adam Schiff is under criminal investigation is a major development — especially amid heightened political tensions. The core issue isn’t just about potential legal wrongdoing, but about transparency and accountability from one of the nation’s most prominent elected officials.
