Ed Martin says ‘there’s more’ on Schiff besides alleged mortgage fraud
The article reports that Ed Martin, a special attorney for the Department of Justice, suggested there might potentially be additional investigations into Senator Adam schiff (D-CA) beyond the ongoing mortgage fraud probe.Martin has been investigating Schiff since August regarding allegations that Schiff misrepresented multiple properties as his primary residence and falsified documents to secure better loan terms. Schiff denies any wrongdoing, and his legal team has accused Martin of political bias and abusing the justice system.
During a Fox News interview, Martin mentioned a referral related to mortgage fraud from Bill Pulte but hinted “there’s more” concerning Schiff without specifying details. This comes shortly after a whistleblower report accused Schiff of leaking classified information to damage former President Trump, labeling Schiff’s actions as “treasonous” and “illegal.” Schiff’s office called the accusations baseless and claimed the whistleblower was a disgruntled ex-staffer dismissed for misconduct.
The White House expressed support for investigating Schiff, with FBI Director Kash Patel indicating an inquiry into potential misuse of political power is underway involving the FBI, DOJ, and Congress.
Ed Martin says ‘there’s more’ on Schiff besides alleged mortgage fraud
The Department of Justice’s special attorney Ed Martin hinted at more investigations to come into Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) besides one already underway into alleged mortgage fraud.
Martin has been investigating Schiff since early August 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 denied wrongdoing, and his legal counsel has been attacking Martin as “brazenly partisan and politically compromised,” along with accusing him of weaponizing the justice system to go after “perceived enemies.”
As that investigation is in its early stages, Martin is now hinting at more inquiries into the California senator.
He gave the hint while discussing the background of the mortgage fraud case in an appearance on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.
“There’s a referral from Bill Pulte about mortgage fraud about Adam Schiff. That’s publicly discussed. His own lawyers have been out there,” Martin said, before adding, “Now there’s more on Adam Schiff.”
Martin did not specify what, if any, investigations he was referring to, but the comments come shortly after the publication of a whistleblower report accusing Schiff of authorizing leaks of classified information meant to damage President Donald Trump during his first term.
The whistleblower, identified as a former Democratic staffer on the House Intelligence Committee, referred to Schiff’s actions as “treasonous” and “illegal” and reported his behavior to the FBI in 2017. At the time, Schiff was a ranking member on the committee.
The White House has responded to the report, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying Trump “wants to see Adam Schiff investigated for the countless lies he told the American people in relation to the Russia-gate scandal.”
At the same press briefing, Leavitt also read off a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel, which indicated that his agency, along with the DOJ and Congress, would lead an inquiry into “how political power may have been weaponized to restore accountability.”
SCHIFF CALLS WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT TARGETING HIM A ‘DISTRACTION’ FROM TRUMP’S EPSTEIN WOES
Schiff’s office has dismissed the report, calling the whistleblower a “disgruntled former staffer.”
“These baseless smears are based on allegations that were found to be not reliable, not credible, and unsubstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the House Intelligence Committee for cause in early 2017, including for harassment and potentially compromising activity on official travel for the Committee,” a Schiff spokesperson said in a statement.
