President Trump accused Senator Schiff of mortgage fraud, alleging he misled lenders about his primary residence, which Schiff denied as a political retaliation. An investigation by Fannie Mae did not conclude that Schiff committed fraud, merely noting possible occupancy misrepresentation.

Schiff has a history of opposing Trump and has been targeted with personal attacks, but his mortgage arrangements have been deemed legally permissible.
