Status of Criminal Indictment Against Adam SchiffAs of October 11, 2025, no criminal indictment has been issued against U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA). He is, however, the subject of an active federal criminal investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, with a grand jury in that district reviewing evidence. A separate grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia is also involved in related probes, though primarily focused on similar allegations against other figures like New York AG Letitia James. An indictment—formal criminal charges—would require the grand jury to vote to proceed, which has not happened yet.Key Details of the Investigation
- Allegations: Mortgage fraud stemming from Schiff allegedly falsifying bank documents and property records between 2003 and 2019. Specifically, he is accused of designating both a Burbank, CA, condo (his official primary residence) and a Potomac, MD, home (used during congressional sessions) as primary residences to secure lower interest rates, reduced property taxes, and better loan terms. This was referred to the DOJ in May 2025 by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte, who cited potential violations of federal laws including:
- Wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343)
- Mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341)
- Bank fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344)
- False statements to financial institutions (18 U.S.C. § 1014)
If charged and convicted, penalties could include up to 30 years per count and fines up to $1 million, though experts note outcomes depend on proving intent and materiality.
