CNN —The US House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, a key lawmaker in Democrats’ congressional investigations into former President Donald Trump during his presidency.
As part of the censure procedure, Schiff stood in the well of the House floor, while House Speaker Kevin McCarthy repeatedly tried to read a brief rule about censure.
Luna announced Tuesday she has secured the number of votes needed to censure and refer him to the House Ethics Committee.
It shows you just who is behind this whole effort to distract from Trump’s legal problems is Trump,” Schiff told CNN.
In that role, Schiff and the other impeachment managers detailed the House’s case for removing Trump from office at the Senate trial.
