BREAKING: RepAdamSchiff survives censure vote as House votes to table motion.
The House voted 225-196 to table the motion, falling short of the 218 majority votes needed to censure Schiff over allegations he abused the trust of his constituents by pushing claims that Trump had conspired with Russia to help win the 2016 presidential race. Schiff has long been a target of House GOP members, particularly for his lead role in Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.“It's kind of a grab-bag of Fox attacks,” Schiff told CNN before the vote.
“The president's MAGA advocates are really championing this thing,” Schiff said. “But I can say this: The speaker is the one who decides to bring this before the House … It just goes to show where his priorities are right now. His priorities are distracting from the dysfunction of his own House membership and distracting from the pressing legal problems of his party leader Donald Trump.”
The report concluded the investigation was inherently flawed, as there was no proper basis to conduct it in the first place, and it also found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign played an outsize role in pushing collusion claims to the media and to the FBI.
