President Donald Trump on Sunday accused Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) of committing fraud, citing a resurfaced document related to a 2011 mortgage filing in Maryland that allegedly misrepresented a property’s status for tax purposes.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “Adam Schiff is a THIEF! He should be prosecuted, just like they tried to prosecute me, and everyone else — The only difference is, WE WERE TOTALLY INNOCENT, IT WAS ALL A GIANT HOAX!”
Trump included a copy of a notarized affidavit signed by Schiff and his wife Eve, dated November 4, 2011, and filed in the state of Maryland. The document, submitted under penalty of perjury, certifies that a property being refinanced was the Schiffs’ “principal residence” — a claim required to qualify for tax exemptions under Maryland’s Tax-Property Article, Section 12-108(g)(3).
