Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and President Donald Trump rekindled their long-running feud Tuesday morning when Trump leveled serious charges against the California lawmaker, this time for alleged mortgage fraud that dates back more than ten years. The allegations, which focused on Schiff’s residency declarations on mortgage documents, were made in typical Trump fashion: blunt, divisive, and devoid of concrete proof.
Trump called Schiff a “scam artist” and demanded justice, while Schiff dismissed the accusations as just another political smear intended to discredit him following his involvement in Trump’s first impeachment. The accusations swiftly took over political headlines.
