Rep. Adam Schiff writes for The Post: Congress must assure that Trump is working for the American people — not foreign interests
By Adam B. Schiff April 22 at 5:58 PM Adam B. Schiff, a Democrat, represents California’s 28th Congressional District in the House and is chairman of the Intelligence Committee.
The special counsel’s investigation began as a counterintelligence investigation by the FBI into an attack by a hostile foreign power.
Evidence developed during a criminal investigation can be vital for a counterintelligence investigation, and it need not be classified. For instance, the Mueller report confirms what we learned through the guilty plea of the president’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
The National Security Act requires that the House and Senate Intelligence committees be kept “fully and currently informed” of significant intelligence and counterintelligence activities. There is no activity more significant than an investigation to determine whether a foreign power exercises leverage over the president or his inner circle.
