Even though he has been questioned and shown to be wrong for years, California Senator-elect Adam Schiff still stands by his controversial claims that Trump and Russia are working together. Schiff, a famous Democrat who used to be the head of the House Intelligence Committee, has become a controversial figure because he is involved in the investigations into the alleged plot that happened while Trump was president.
CNN’s State of the Union host, Jake Tappers, asked Schiff tough questions about what he had said before. The questions were mostly about what Schiff said. With the warning Schiff got from the House of Representatives in mind, Tapper looked closely at his time as chair of the Intelligence Committee.
The House of Representatives counted you as “abusing this trust by claiming there was evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia” the previous year. They also took into account the fact that you held powerful positions during Donald Trump’s presidency, such as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The same as Tapper says.
Tapper told him, “Are you experiencing any introspection regarding those assertions?” A question that kept coming up. Based on Mueller’s findings and what your Republican friends said, it seems like these claims are not true. In what ways do you think the things you’ve done have contributed to the current political divide?
