House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff tells GStephanopoulos that Pres. Trump 'going after' Joe Biden's son Hunter 'is just a method of going after someone the president believes is his most formidable opponent'
After President Donald Trump said it would be"appropriate" for him to speak to his attorney general about initiating an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's diplomacy in Ukraine while Biden's son was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that such a move would not be appropriate and expressed concern that the attorney general -- who he said was lacking integrity --"just might do it.

"How about the underlying issue, though?"
