Congressman Eric Swalwell has been accused of mortgage fraud, with the Federal Housing Finance Agency sending a letter to the attorney general claiming that he may have committed tax and mortgage fraud. This move comes as part of former President Donald Trump's retribution campaign against his critics.
According to sources, the agency claims that Swalwell declared his primary residence in Washington, despite having homes elsewhere, leading to several million dollars' worth of loans and refinancing. The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent a letter alleging several potential fraud crimes.
Swalwell described Trump's actions as "surprising," given his history of targeting critics with criminal charges and executive orders. He called on Americans to stand firm in the face of such intimidation, referencing Mark Twain's quote about patriotism supporting one's country all the time and its government when it deserves it.
Swalwell was a vocal critic of Trump during the last decade and has ongoing lawsuits against him. This latest development brings another high-profile target into Trump's retribution campaign, which includes several other Democratic officials who have faced similar allegations in recent months.
The cases are unfolding as part of a broader pattern of Trump using executive orders to punish those who have worked against him. The move has sparked outrage among Swalwell and his supporters, with the congressman expressing defiance in the face of such intimidation.

this is what happens when you're at war... I mean, politics 
i'm not gonna say Trump's right or wrong, but it's clear he's trying to use these allegations to take down anyone who dares to oppose him. Newsflash: the only ones going down are the ones with skeletons in their closet already 
and what about all the lawsuits Swalwell has against Trump? 
sounds like some sweet karma, right? but seriously, this is just another example of how politics has become a never-ending game of musical chairs... where's the real reform when you've got all this drama going on? 
I get why Swalwell is standing firm, but at what cost? It feels like Trump's gonna keep digging till he finds someone to pin this on. What's the real motive here? 
! This is getting crazy 
! I mean, come on, Trump's all about targeting critics now? It's like he thinks he can just go around accusing people of crimes and then they're supposed to just take it lying down 
I'm not surprised to see Trump going after Swalwell now that he's losing steam 
. This just another example of how Trump will do whatever it takes to silence people who speak out against him... and it's getting old fast 
. But you know what? Swalwell is not backing down 
, and that's what matters most. He needs our support right now more than ever 
just when you thought it was safe to go back online... another politician caught up in some shady dealings 
. It's all about the optics at this point – Swalwell's trying to spin this as Trump being petty but I'm not buying it 
. Not exactly the kind of news you want to start your day with 
and i gotta feel for Swalwell fam, he's been speaking out against trump for yrs now and now hes being targeted like this its not cool at all. but at the same time, ppl need to be held accountable if they are indeed doing something wrong...its all about balance right? 
. Like, come on Trump, if you wanna go after people for being outspoken, at least have the decency to make an example out of someone who actually broke the law 
. And what's with all these "retribution campaigns"? Sounds like a bunch of bullying on steroids 
️.
anyhoo, i guess you can't win 'em all... or whatever
