What’s the worst part of impeachment inquiry for Donald Trump? He has to ‘put up’ with California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, current chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff now finds himself as the face of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, leading the first House hearing into new allegations that President Trump withheld aid to Ukraine whileIt’s by no means Schiff’s first turn at such a role. He was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee when it first began looking into allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.
He inserted himself occasionally throughout the hearing, following up on other members’ questions and often extracting the most newsworthy moments from Maguire in what was a hearing largely focused on procedural issues. Pelosi stressed Thursday that the Intelligence Committee is taking the lead of the inquiry because it has jurisdiction over the complaint, downplaying rumors that Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is being sidelined over his handling of the Lewandowski hearing. “It is an intelligence matter and it is focused in the Intelligence Committee,” she told reporters.
After the hearing, Schiff laid out an exhaustive schedule, saying the committee plans to work through the upcoming two-week recess. Among other things, he wants to hear the whistleblower’s testimony and speak to other administration officials who may have been aware of the president’s actions and an alleged attempt to cover them up.
