It’s definitely possible that the renewed focus on Adam Schiff’s mortgage allegations could be serving as a political diversion from the Epstein files controversy, especially since Schiff himself and some commentators have accused Trump of trying to redirect attention for that exact reason.

There’s a real tug-of-war going on, as both sides are using these high-profile issues to attack each other, and right now, there’s no public evidence that the mortgage fraud allegations were raised specifically as a coordinated distraction—but it’s a common pattern in national politics when one scandal dominates headlines.
