According to numerous outlets, the DOJ launched a probe into the mortgage fraud investigations concerning Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Sources said the DOJ and FBI are scrutinizing whether U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte enlisted individuals outside the Department of Justice to probe allegations of mortgage fraud amid ongoing investigations of Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.At least one witness in the Schiff investigation has received a grand jury subpoena to hand over any correspondence with Martin’s associates as well as with Pulte himself, sources told ABC News.In what would be an extraordinary breach of DOJ protocol, Martin is also believed to have shared sensitive grand jury information about the James case with at least one unauthorized individual as well as worked with another person from outside the federal government to examine potential evidence in the Schiff and James probes, sources familiar with the matter said.
The Hill reviewed a subpoena for Christine Bish, a Republican candidate for Congress in California, who “claimed to have whistleblower information about Schiff’s mortgage, was called to appear before the grand jury Thursday.”
However, it seemed the investigators wanted to know who Bish spoke to about the mortgage fraud claims.
The subpoena asked Bish if “she dealt with anyone ‘claiming to be working for or at the direction’ of the Justice Department, Martin or Pulte.”
Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook and Rep. Eric Swawell (D-CA) also face mortgage fraud accusations.
All four people have denied any wrongdoing.
