Donald Trump Calls for Senator To Be Jailed: 'Big Trouble'

President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on Senator Adam Schiff, calling for the Democrat to go to prison for alleged mortgage fraud.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday night, the president accused Schiff of falsifying loan documents, saying the senator was in "BIG TROUBLE" and should "pay the price of prison."

Newsweek contacted Schiff for comment via contact form on his website on Monday.

Trump and Schiff have had an adversarial relationship since the former's first presidency, and Schiff has remained a fierce critic of the president. While serving in the House of Representatives, Schiff took a leading role in inquiries into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He also played a key role in the president's first impeachment in 2019.
