The director of the US Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and deputy attorney in General, Attorney General, General Prosecutor Todd Blanche, citing alleged misconduct of ships that have houses in California and Maryland.

“On the basis of media reports, Mr. Adam B. Schiff felled bank documents and real estate records in several cases in order to acquire cheaper loan conditions and to influence the payments from 2003 to 2019 for a property in Maryland in Potomac, Maryland,” wrote the FHFA director William Pult in the letter that FOX News received on Wednesday. “As the regulatory authority of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Bundeshausbanks, we take very serious allegations for mortgage fraud or other criminal activities. Such misconduct endangers the security and sound of the FHFA and the security and stability of the US mortgage market.”

On Monday, Pult received a memo from the Fannie Mae investigation for financial crimes, in which the ship allegedly “had a persistent pattern of possible occupancy misalignment” about five fannie Mae credit, Fox news learned.

It is unclear whether the Ministry of Justice is currently taking measures against ship, but at the beginning of this week, President Donald Trump demanded that his long -time enemy were brought to trial because of the alleged mortgage fraud.

Fox News Digital turned to the Ministry of Justice to obtain further information, but did not react immediately.

In 2003 the ship and his wife bought a house in Potomac, Maryland, for 870,000 US dollars according to the letter. They conclude a mortgage contract supported by Fannie Mae for $ 610,000 with a price of 5.625% over a term of 30 years, whereby the foundation of the property would be their main apartment and main apartment.

The letter states that the house in Maryland in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was a main stay in mortgage refinancing, even though ship was a chosen civil servant who represents the state of California.

Fox News received a copy of the 2011 affidavit, in which ship was signed and certified that the Maryland House is its main apartment.

Pult said that the ship and his wife had only listed the house in Maryland as a secondary place of residence in 2020.

During the same period, Schiff took the tax exemption from a home owner for an apartment, which he in Burank, California, also for his main residence for reducing real estate tax by $ 7,000, wrote to media reports.

In 2023, the letter claimed that a spokesman for Schiff had found that “Adam's main residence Burank, California, is and will remain so if he wins the seat of the Senate”.

“Primary residence mortgages receive cheaper loan conditions, including lower interest rates than secondary home mortgages,” the letter said. “The lenders consider the mortgages of secondary residentialists to be significantly more risky, since a borrower pays a primary residence mortgage more often in the event of financial difficulties. The interest rates for the mortgages of the secondary sterge are typically between 0.25 and 0.50% higher than their main residence;

Trump accuses' fraudstant “ship to lie on Maryland Home to commit mortgage fraud

The federal apartment officer wrote that he believes that Schiff's alleged misconduct could have violations of the ban on cable fraud, post -fraud, bank fraud and false statements about financial institutions.

Schiff “seems to have falsified recordings in order to obtain cheap loan conditions, and it also seems to be aware of the financial advantages of a primary residence mortgage compared to a secondary living mortgage,” wrote Pult.

According to the letter, a spokesman for ship told CNN in 2023: “Adams addresses in California and Maryland were listed as primary residences for loan purposes, since they are both occupied all year round and distinguish them from a holiday ownership.”

Last year, a federal jury Marilyn Mosby condemned false statements about a mortgage application for a condominium in Florida when she was the lawyer of the city state in Baltimore.

In the letter, how a man of St. Loui's guilty was known to receive “after the hard work of the IG and the Doj of our agency” in a fraudulent manner.

“Unfortunately, there are too many examples of people who commit fraud or mortgage fraud,” wrote Pulte. “As always, we look forward to working with the Ministry of Justice to support all measures that the Ministry of Justice is adequately.

Trump went on social media on Tuesday and demanded that ship be held accountable.

“I have always suspected that Shifty Adam Schiff was a fraud artist. And now I find out that Fannie Mae's financial crime has come to the conclusion that Adam Schiff has initiated a sustainable pattern for possible mortgage fraud,” Trump partially wrote on the social truth. “Mortgage fraud is very serious, and crooked Adam ship (now a senator) has to be brought to court.”

Ship, a Member of the congregation in the upper chamber until his election in 2024, headed the House Intelligence Committee in Trump's office because he applied for examining Ukraine Joe Biden, whose son Hunter had a lucrative appearance in a Ukrainian natural gas company. Schiff also spent several lectures and held several hearings in which Trump had “worked” together with Russia.

Schiff published a video declaration on Tuesday that reacted to the mortgage fraud claims and said Trump threatened to pursue it for a long time.

“He accused me of betrayal, he also accused me of having left classified information, he accuses me of fraud, it was basically one thing after the other, everything unfounded, everything without earnings,” said Schiff. “It's nothing new – but his attacks on the rule of law are more dangerous than ever.”
