Trump Calls for Inquiry of adam Schiff, Echoes Impeachment Claims
Table of Contents
Former President Donald Trump is intensifying his attacks on political opponents, suggesting that California Senator Adam Schiff could face criminal charges following the indictments of ex-FBI Director James Comey and New york Attorney General leticia James. Trump has also renewed calls for a re-examination of his own impeachments, which Schiff previously led as a House Representative.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to voice his concerns, characterizing his first impeachment as a fraudulent attempt to damage his presidency. “The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate,” he wrote, imploring “the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS” to investigate. He further labeled Schiff as “sooo dishonest and corrupt.”
Impeachment History and Ongoing Grievances
Trump faced two impeachments during his presidency. The first, in early 2020, centered on allegations that he pressured Ukraine to investigate the Biden family in exchange for the release of $391 million in security aid. He was subsequently acquitted by the Senate. A second impeachment followed shortly before the end of his term, stemming from his actions surrounding the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot.
The former president continues to maintain that both impeachments were politically motivated and lacked merit. He publicly pressed Attorney General Pam Bondi last month regarding the status of Department of Justice investigations into Comey, James, and Schiff, all of whom have denied any wrongdoing.
DOJ investigation into Schiff’s Finances
Senator Schiff is currently the only one of the three individuals mentioned by Trump who has not been indicted. In August,attorney General Bondi appointed Ed Martin as a Special Attorney to oversee a DOJ investigation into Schiff,focusing on potential instances of mortgage fraud,bank fraud,and wire fraud.
The investigation stems from accusations that Schiff improperly certified a property in Maryland as his primary residence while concurrently declaring a California condominium as his main home for tax and mortgage purposes. These actions, spanning from 2003 to 2019, allegedly allowed Schiff to benefit from tax breaks and lower interest rates on federally backed loans. the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte initially made a referral regarding these allegations in April 2025.
The accusations center around whether Schiff knowingly misrepresented his primary residence to gain financial advantages.
