Adam Schiff trying to cash in on Trump.

Seattle WA

Description

Martin Walsh from Trending Politics reports, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is still obsessing over impeachment. The California Democrat announced that he landed a deal to publish a book about Donald Trump’s first impeachment back in 2019, which involved his phone call with the Ukrainian president about Joe Biden’s corrupt son, Hunter, and whether the U.S. could send Ukraine $400 million. Schiff led House Democrats' first impeachment of Trump, which stemmed from an intelligence community whistleblower report following a phone call between Trump and the president of Ukraine. During the call, Trump reportedly pressured the Ukrainian leader to publicize politically damaging information about now-President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Democrats charged Trump's words amounted to an abuse of power and violation of his constitutional oath. Trump was later acquitted following a Senate trial after Republicans in the upper chamber refused to call witnesses during what they described as a rushed and partisan impeachment push. Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill regularly attacked Schiff and Democratic impeachment managers during the trial, calling the California congressman "Shifty" Schiff and painting him as drunk with power and obsessed with career advancement. Trump was also impeached by the House over his role in the deadly Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol by his supporters and again acquitted in a Senate trial.
