Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff’s nascent legal defense fund — created to parry legal threats from President Donald Trump — is already a million-dollar operation, according to new financial documents filed with the U.S. Senate and reviewed by NOTUS.
About 400 political committees, individual donors and even an Indian tribe together pumped $1.2 million into the fund from late August through Dec. 31, 2025, the document indicates.
The influx of cash arrived as Trump publicly accused Schiff of corruption and illegal behavior and the Department of Justice investigated the California lawmaker for mortgage fraud. Schiff denies wrongdoing and hasn’t been indicted.
