Adam Schiff might be eyeing a seat in the California Senate, but if you ask us, he’s been playing house—3,420 square feet of it—in Maryland, of all places, and for over a decade, according to mortgage records. Schiff’s supposed “roots” in California are looking faker than a cheeseburger at a vegan cafe, and this whole setup he’s concocted reeks of yet another swamp scam. How can you claim to represent the Golden State when your homestead is halfway across the country? You’ve got to wonder: how did this slip through the cracks for so long? And really, shouldn’t this be enough to put him out of the running for the Senate, or any political spot in California, for that matter?
Schiff, a Democrat, has for years taken a homeowner’s tax exemption on a much smaller 650 square foot condo he owns in Burbank, California, also claiming that home as his primary residence for a reduction in his tax bill of $7,000. He did not take an exemption on his home in Maryland.
While Schiff has signed documents asserting both the Maryland property and the significantly smaller Burbank condo as his primary residences, tax records indicate that he paid his California property taxes in 2017 with a check featuring his Maryland address – the only year he paid with a personal check. And a review of past comments, pictures shared on his public social media, and records indicate Schiff makes his full-time home in Maryland.
Schiff is in a competitive primary in California for the Senate seat against Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, and his dual residency claims could present a political problem for the congressman. Schiff announced his run in January 2023.
Deed records show Schiff, who was elected to Congress in 2000, designated the Maryland home as his primary residence in 2003. In 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Schiff refinanced his mortgage and again indicated it was his primary residence.
Los Angeles County deed records for Schiff’s Burbank condo, purchased in 2009, were notarized in Maryland. On one page of the deed, the state: California and the county: Los Angeles are crossed out and Maryland and Montgomery County are written in. The records also list Schiff’s Maryland home as an address the records are being returned to.
Adam Schiff is asking voters to swallow a pretty tall tale here: that his family of four has been living comfortably in a 650-square-foot condo. Honestly, that’s a stretch that defies common sense and is downright insulting to anybody’s intelligence. The MSN piece goes on.
Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for Schiff’s campaign, asserted his primary residence was in California and said he had been open about it citing several news mentions and a mention in his book.
“Adam’s primary residence is Burbank, California, and will remain so when he wins the Senate seat,” she told CNN in an email. “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.”
His spokesperson also told CNN the properties were both claimed as primary residences for loan purposes.
“Adam’s California and Maryland addresses have been listed as primary residences for loan purposes because they are both occupied throughout the year and to distinguish them from a vacation property,” she added.
Despite purchasing the home in Maryland two years into his tenure in Congress, a biography on his campaign website from 2010 to 2014 suggested Schiff was raising his family at his home in Burbank.
“Settled in Burbank, CA, Adam and his wife Eve are the proud parents of daughter Alexa, age 13, and son Elijah, age 10,” read the biography, which made no mention of his Maryland home.
Adam Schiff’s track record as a serial liar is no secret, especially after the long, drawn-out Russia hoax nonsense that he peddled, costing Americans millions and carving deep divides that we’ll be dealing with for decades to come. Regrettably, this shifty swindler sidestepped any real consequences for that massive scandal. Now, it’s high time Mr. Pencil Neck paid the price. This latest bombshell should knock him out of the Senate race and make sure this lying charlatan is removed from the public office arena for good.
