Republicans prep formal rebuke of Adam Schiff as party struggles to defend Trump
House Republicans will force a vote to formally condemn Rep. Adam Schiff when they return from recess, their most aggressive offensive yet as the GOP fumbles for a strategy to beat back impeachment efforts.

Scalise, meanwhile, held a conference call with his whip team Thursday afternoon to discuss next steps and outline a series of all-conference member briefings on impeachment that leadership plans to hold when Congress returns from recess, according to a person on the call. Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney also gave an update on the party’s messaging strategy and Rep. Steve Chabot talked about his experience as a manager during the Clinton impeachment.
