A growing federal investigation is accusing top Trump-appointed officials of attempting to weaponise mortgage fraud probes, and a grand jury in Maryland is now examining whether they violated the law by investigating their own political allies.
In a stunning reversal, the very individuals who referred high-profile Democrats for alleged mortgage fraud are now under scrutiny themselves. Sources say a Maryland grand jury has opened a probe into whether Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte and Justice Department special attorney Ed Martin, both staunch Trump allies, improperly recruited unauthorised personnel to aid in investigations of Trump political opponents.
