Adam Schiff, Facing Criminal Investigation, Forms Legal Defense Fund Emily Ross 5 hours ago 2 min read 2347 views Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has launched a legal defense fund as he faces a federal investigation into alleged mortgage fraud and renewed attacks from President Donald Trump. The “Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund” was filed with the IRS last Thursday. Schiff’s team says the fund is necessary to fight what they call politically motivated charges. “It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable,” a spokeswoman for Schiff told Fox News. Trump: “Shifty Schiff” Created Russia Hoax Trump, speaking at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, again accused Schiff of fabricating the Trump–Russia collusion narrative. “Russia, Russia, Russia. Totally phony, created by Adam Schiff, Shifty Schiff, and Hillary Clinton and the whole group of them,” Trump said. He argued the narrative harmed U.S. foreign policy, saying, “It made it very dangerous for our country because I was unable to really deal with Russia the way we should have been.” White House spokesman Harrison Fields went further, calling Schiff a “fraud” and “sleazy and corrupt politician.” “Adam Schiff is a sleazy and corrupt politician who betrayed his oath to the Constitution by prioritizing his selfish and personal animosity toward the President over the interests of the American people,” Fields said. “No amount of money can shield Adam from the truth that he is a fraud.” Alleged Leaks and Mortgage Fraud Probe Schiff’s troubles deepened earlier this month when newly released FBI documents suggested that a Democratic whistleblower accused him in 2017 of approving leaks of classified information on Trump that “would be used to indict President TRUMP.” Schiff has denied the allegation as “absolutely and categorically false.” The California senator also faces a federal investigation after the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred him to the Department of Justice in May. The referral claimed Schiff “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms” on a Potomac, Maryland property between 2003 and 2019. Schiff has denied any wrongdoing, calling the matter “a baseless attempt at political retribution.” Schiff’s Role in Past Trump Battles Schiff was a leading figure in Trump’s first impeachment in 2020 and also served on the Jan. 6 committee, which investigated the Capitol riot. He was among several lawmakers granted preemptive pardons by President Joe Biden on his final day in office in January 2025. At the time, Schiff publicly criticized the blanket pardons as “unnecessary” and warned they set a “bad precedent.” Next Steps Schiff’s legal defense fund will allow him to raise money from donors to cover mounting legal costs. The IRS filing notes the fund is structured as a political organization under Section 527. The federal investigation remains ongoing.
Until 2029,the office saved him.If you think Democrats and his enemies came after him after his 1st term you haven't seen nothing yet, wait until the end of his 2nd term.And unlike after his 1st term,that office cant save him again.
Yes,throw him in jail and reverse his executive orders ( The new President can do so with just his pen,even auto pen). Unfortunately we are going to be stuck with his 15 trillion of new debt permanently
