Prosecutors are hesitant to charge Trump foe Adam Schiff, sources say

Prosecutors in the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office are hesitant to bring mortgage-fraud charges against Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, though the probe continues. Ed Martin, a polarizing Trump Justice Department official, has pushed for an indictment, while U.S. Attorney Kelly Hayes seeks to keep him at bay; prosecutors recently discussed possible next steps, including reviewing more records. President Donald Trump declined to weigh in but insulted Schiff. Attorney General Pam Bondi wouldn’t discuss any open grand jury. Separately, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan secured grand jury indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, who deny wrongdoing.
