Embattled Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., found himself in the center of a political storm as documents recently surfaced, revealing that he has maintained a residence in Maryland for more than a decade while representing California’s 21st district.
Mortgage records and financial disclosures obtained by CNN indicated that Schiff claimed a 3,420-square-foot property in Maryland as his primary residence, alongside a smaller 650-square-foot condo in Burbank, California.
The documents, however, also uncovered his alleged utilization of the California address to mitigate a substantial $7,000 tax bill.
The timing of this bombshell comes as Schiff seeks the vacant U.S. Senate seat in California, following the passing of Sen. Dianne Feinstein earlier this year.
Schiff is competing against fellow Reps. Barbara Lee and Katie Porter for the senate seat, which is currently held by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s appointee, Laphonza Butler. Butler, a leftist activist, herself became embroiled in controversy for allegedly residing in Maryland.
A spokesperson for the embattled Democrat rushed to the congressman’s defense in a statement “Adam’s primary residence is Burbank, California, and will remain so when he wins the Senate seat,” the spokesperson claimed.
“As Adam has discussed openly many times over the years, including in his recent New York Times best-selling book, he and Eve made the difficult decision to move their family to the D.C. area to spend more time with his children while doing his job,” the individual added.
According to the bombshell report, Schiff paid California property taxes in 2017 by using a check that contained his Maryland address. Moreover, Schiff allegedly used his Maryland address during mortgage refinancing activities from 2003 to 2009, as well as in 2012. A Los Angeles County deed records for his California condo showed that he notarized the documents in Maryland.
And yet. Santorum was practically burned at the stake for the same thing.
He is not embattled. He has and will be given pass after pass after pass after by the media and his constituants...
I, unfortunately, live in this idiot's district - I don't know of a single person that supports him, let alone votes for him - yet he wins elections by huge margins.
And will continue to win until someone just like him replaces him.
He wins elections by huge margins.
He will win the senate election as well.
That’s how stupid, ignorant and idiotic the voters are in California.
Stupid is right.
Oh - I can easily top that story! ;-) I’m FROM Glendale and lived 10 blocks from the Burbank border. So Schiff would have been my representative if I still lived in my home town.
NOW I live in Fremont CA - where I am in Eric Slawell’s district (by about 2 blocks...)
I’ve been screwed twice! :-(
We own a 1 bedroom condo that has 575 square feet. So it is small - but larger than a typical sudio.
Wyden (Oregon Senator) lives in New York. What’s new?
WHERE IS HE REGISTERED TO VOTE?????
ANOTHER SCAM????

Condo records of “Occupancy” can all be obtained
Two words. Jennifer Granholm.
Clearly got you beat.
As Michigan governess, She said at a state of the state speech “In five years, you’ll be blown away. About four year later I lost my job due to her wicked policies and blew away. Right to another state.
Don’t most members of Congress have a home in Washington, or the Maryland suburbs, or Virginia suburbs?
Is the issue that he was claiming this Maryland home as his primary residence?
Since Congress is in session most of the year, it’s not surprising members of Congress live there most of the year.
Then we can have the debate about whether Congress really needs to be in session so much.
He is one of the most blatant liars in politics. Is it any wonder that he lies about his business and personal finances to the tax man?
B-1 Bob Dornan, got shafted by the "Sanchez" gang...they got away with it; so far.
What about the "Dodge City Cowboy"? Re-elected Senator from Kansas; and he didn't have a residence in Kansas; just D.C.
So thats what the "knee pads" are for Senator?
