The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the president engage in a war of words.
Donald Trump and Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and one of the Democrats’ point people on impeachment, got into a war of words Thursday.
Schiff said his committee would continue to investigate the president through a 14-day recess scheduled to begin on Friday. Republicans on the committee disputed Schiff’s description of the July 25 conversation between Trump and Zelensky. “This is the essence of what the president communicates,” Schiff said. “We’ve been very good to your country, very good, no other country has done as much as we have, but you know that. I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good.
Democrats have also begun to make the argument that seeking help for his reelection from a foreign government is an impeachable offense by Trump, whether or not it was part of an explicit exchange.
