Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed on Sunday that mortgage fraud is President Donald Trump ‘s “new weapon,” as a Department of Justice investigation into the California senator is already well underway.

Since early August, Trump’s special attorney Ed Martin has been leading the investigation into Schiff over allegations that he listed more than one property as his primary residence and falsified “bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms” on one of the properties. Schiff has consistently denied wrongdoing, but has recently created a legal defense fund as a legal war over the matter looms.
