US EditionTrump official refers Rep. Eric Swalwell to Justice Department over alleged mortgage and tax fraud
- On Nov 13, 2025, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., to the Justice Department for possible mortgage and tax fraud.
- Pulte's letter alleges false residency claims on loan documents, focusing on Swalwell's Washington, D.C. property and mortgage loan applications; Swalwell is the fourth Democratic official referred in recent months.
- Justice Department officials have not commented on whether they received the referral; criminal referrals do not necessarily prompt DOJ action, though past FHFA-led referrals have produced indictments.
- Swalwell said he was surprised it took so long and stated, `Of course, I will not end my lawsuit against him and I will not stop speaking out against the President and speaking up for Californians,' according to NBC News.
- Pulte's role overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac amplifies the referral's significance, as he controls the U.S. mortgage market and the administration uses mortgage filings against opponents.
