House Republicans took steps on Wednesday to force a floor vote on a measure formally condemning Rep. Adam Schiff , who is leading the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
“On numerous occasions, Chairman Adam Schiff has used his position to mislead the American people. This censure resolution is about restoring a process that is fair, objective, and fact-based,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy . “I call for his censure in the House.” Trump and the GOP have seized on Schiff’s mid-hearing exaggerated rendition of Trump’s phone call with Ukraine to make it sound like a mob boss shakedown, as well as a New York Times report that a whistleblower sought guidance from an Intelligence Committee aide, which Republicans have used to allege without evidence that Schiff helped coordinate the complaint. Both episodes were cited in the censure resolution.
