President Donald Trump is blasting his longtime political critic Adam Schiff, calling the Democrat senator from California “a scam artist” in the wake of new mortgage-fraud allegations.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump said: “I have always suspected Shifty Adam [Schiff] was a scam artist.

“And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud.

“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA.

“I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.

“Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

On Saturday, Schiff slammed Trump and his Department of Justice on MSNBC, saying: “Their modus operandi, and it comes from the top, the fish rots from the head, is Donald Trump whose real view, his life view, is yes he’s crooked and yes he’s a liar, but everyone is crooked, everyone is a liar, everybody does it. It’s just that he’s the crook and the liar of the GOP.”

Donald Trump doesn’t really try to dispute his corruption or his lies. His point is more sinister, and made by other would-be despots.

His argument is that they are all liars and crooks, and that he is the only one who is open about it.

As WorldNetDaily reported in April, Schiff, most famous for leading impeachment efforts against Trump over disproven Russian collusion claims, announced he was writing to the White House to demand answers about allegations of insider trading.

Is Donald Trump’s inner circle illegally profiting off of these huge swings in the stock market by insider trading?

In January, Schiff was caught on video sleeping during a Pam Bondi hearing.
