Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee demanded that Chairman Adam B. Schiff step down from his post in light of his repeated allegations that President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russians in the 2016 election.
“Your willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is alarming,” said Rep. Mike Conaway . “We have no faith in your ability to discharge your duty.”
He said he accepted Mueller’s decision not to file an indictment in the case but said it doesn’t change his position that Trump’s campaign was open to Russian assistance. Trump has also targeted Schiff, accusing the lawmaker — without providing any evidence — of breaking the law. “Congressman Adam Schiff, who spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking, should be forced to resign from Congress!” Trump tweeted shortly before the hearing began.
