Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is back in the headlines this week with a bold new move in Washington — and sharp attacks from former President Donald Trump.
✅ Schiff Introduces White House Oversight Bill
On July 9, 2025, Adam Schiff and fellow Democrats introduced a bill to establish a dedicated Inspector General (IG) inside the Executive Office of the President. The purpose: to ensure presidential accountability and prevent abuse of power.
“No president should be above the law,” Schiff declared during the announcement, referencing the chaos of recent administrations and the lack of permanent oversight.
Though the bill is unlikely to pass under a GOP-controlled Congress, it marks a symbolic warning: future presidents will face more scrutiny if Democrats regain power in 2026.
⚠️ Trump Strikes Back with Mortgage Fraud Accusation
Just days later, on July 15, 2025, Donald Trump launched a fiery accusation against Schiff, claiming he committed mortgage fraud by misrepresenting his primary residence to secure better loan rates.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
“Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff must be brought to justice!”
According to reports, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has made a criminal referral to the DOJ, but Schiff denies all wrongdoing, calling the attack “pure political retaliation” for leading Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.
