Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, referred Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to the DOJ for possible mortgage fraud, according to NBC News.
Pulte asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate because he believes Swalwell made “false and misleading statements” about his $1.2 million home in Washington, DC.
A source told The New York Post that Swalwell secured “millions of dollars’ worth of loans and refinancing based on the primary residence declaration in DC.”
Swalwell could face charges for mortgage, insurance, and state and local tax fraud.
The FHFA inspector general began investigating the alleged mortgage fraud.
“As the most vocal critic of Donald Trump over the last decade and as the only person who still has a surviving lawsuit against him, the only thing I am surprised about is that it took him this long to come after me,” Swalwell told NBC News.
Swalwell is the fourth Democrat facing alleged mortgage fraud this year.
Alleged mortgage fraud investigations have already started against New York Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook.
