Trump official refers East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell to DOJ for mortgage fraud investigation
"Attributed to an anonymous source in the NBC News report, the referral alleges that Swalwell obtained several million dollars in loans and refinancing by declaring his primary residence as Washington, D.C. It calls for a probe into possible mortgage fraud, state and local tax fraud, insurance fraud and any related offenses. According to NBC, Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, also told Attorney General Pam Bondi in a letter Wednesday that Swalwell may have made false or misleading statements on loan documents."
""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," he said in a statement, adding that he will not withdraw his 2021 lawsuit alleging President Trump incited the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol."
