Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is under federal investigation for allegedly falsifying mortgage documents to secure favorable home loan terms, following a criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the Department of Justice, Breitbart reported.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is leading a criminal investigation into Sen. Schiff’s real estate dealings in Maryland, according to Fox News. The probe stems from a referral by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which cited evidence of mortgage fraud tied to multiple loan applications involving Fannie Mae-backed mortgages.
