U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, it was reported Friday.
Grand juries in Maryland and Virginia, respectively, will investigate claims involving Schiff and James.
Bondi named Ed Martin to serve as special prosecutor.
Earlier Friday, Newsmax reported Bondi has issued subpoenas and impaneled a grand jury as part of a criminal investigation into multiple allegations against the state of New York, according to a source familiar with the matter who requested anonymity.
Bondi is investigating whether Democrat James and the state sued the National Rifle Association solely to violate its First and Second Amendment rights.
News of Martin and the grand juries was first reported on social media by Fox News' senior White House editorial producer.
Breitbart reported this week that Schiff was under federal investigation for allegedly falsifying mortgage documents to secure favorable home loan terms, following a criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the DOJ.
The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albany, New York, opened a criminal investigation into James over allegations of mortgage fraud, the Albany Times-Union first reported in May.
The probe came in the wake of a criminal referral by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte earlier this month.
In his letter to Bondi, Pulte wrote that James "falsified records" to secure a home loan on a property in Virginia as her "principal residence" in 2023, when she was serving as New York's prosecutor.

WINNING!!!
Lawfare can work both ways. It’s way past time to start holding Dimocrats’ feet to the fire.
And I hope we find out she had the right home inspector in her pocket to inflate the home’s value so she could get a better rate.
Remember where we were just 12 months ago; all these fat big assed gnats were gnawing at Trump, preaching about how no one is above the law, and now look how the tables have turned. Let them reap it.
The MSM will spin this as Trump ‘weaponizing’ teh DOJ.................
So Good...

If they have time. They are very busy trying to turn Epstein into a major scandal right now.
No! No! No! It’s all about Epstein. Enough with the distractions.
I’m calling it! You can’t use ‘probe’ and ‘Schiff’ together in the same sentence.
He likes it too much! *SMIRK*
>>Bondi is investigating whether Democrat James and the state sued the National Rifle Association solely to violate its First and Second Amendment rights.
We need more use of the charge for deprivation of rights under color of law.
Good. Bankrupt every single one of them.
Didn’t we just find out w/Jack Smith that “special prosecutors” could only be created by Congress?
Is this being misreported or has Bondi inserted a poison pill into the situation?
Or maybe he’s just the investigator.
It would seem that someone with all the powers of a US Attorney would have to be Senate approved, at least for some office.
They never consider the consequences of their actions.
I suggest an anal probe for Schiff. A long, sharp probe with barbs built into it.
I think he might enjoy that.
Is this being misreported or has Bondi inserted a poison pill into the situation?
I'm in agreement with you. What the heck is Bondi doing? Ed Martin was never confirmed to any position by the Senate, so how is it possible Bondi could legally appoint him as Special Prosecutor?
Or, is the plan to get Schiff to argue that Martin's appointment is illegal so liberals have to confess that Jack Smith's appointment was illegal?
But, they need to pay for their own lawyers.
I am sick of Americans footing the legal bills for human garbage like this.
