As chair of House Intelligence Committee, Schiff announced sweeping probe of then-President Trump’s finances and Russia
The House voted Wednesday, June 21, to censure California Rep. Adam Schiff for comments he made several years ago about investigations into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, rebuking the Democrat and frequent critic of the former president along party lines.
When it was time for Schiff to come to the front of the chamber to be formally censured, immediately after the vote, the normally solemn ceremony turned into more of a celebratory atmosphere. Dozens of Democrats crowded to the front, clapping and cheering for Schiff and patting him on the back. They chanted “No!,” “Shame!” and “Adam! Adam!”into Trump, cleared a key procedural obstacle on Wednesday after a vote to kill the legislation failed.
Luna announced Tuesday she had secured the number of votes needed to censure and refer him to the House Ethics Committee. Schiff represents a broad swath of communities centered in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley that include Pasadena, Sunland-Tujunga, Burbank, Glendale, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Fairfax, Park La Brea and Hancock Park.

Warren Davidson of Ohio were eager to censure him. “I look forward to censuring him next week for his lies,” Davidson said last week.“Now Trump is threatening to primary any Republican that doesn’t vote for it. It shows you just who is behind this whole effort to distract from Trump’s legal problems is Trump,” Schiff told CNN. “But to waste the floors time on this false and defamatory resolution is a disservice to the country.
