California Democrat Senator-elect Adam Schiff is doubling
down on his false, unfounded claims of Trump-Russian collusion years later.
In an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Jake Tapper questioned Schiff
regarding President-elect Donald Trump’s recent cabinet picks, which
included Florida Representative Matt Gaetz and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“You were censured in the House last year for, in their view, holding positions
of power during the Trump presidency as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,
and, according to them, ‘abusing this trust by saying there
was evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia,’” Tapper said.
“And I wonder if you are feeling at all, introspective at all, about that was,
according to the Mueller report and according to your Republican colleagues,
an overstatement? And I wonder if you think, in any way, you helped set the table for these disruptors?” Tapper asked.
