Pelosi taunts Republicans demanding Adam Schiff's resignation as 'scaredy-cats'
As President Trump and House Republicans demand House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)'s resignation, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is standing strongly behind him.
Trump on Thursday morning said Schiff should be "forced to resign," and the Intelligence Committee's nine Republicans subsequently signed a letter calling for the California Democrat to step down, per CNN. Republicans said he "abused" his position to "knowingly promote false information" by saying publicly that there was evidence Trump's campaign colluded with Russia. Attorney General William Barr on Sunday released his summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian election interference, saying Mueller did not determine there was collusion. Still, Schiff argued Wednesday that there is, in fact, evidence of collusion, per NBC News. He has also called for the full Mueller report to be released, saying Barr's summary is "biased."
