WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump called on fellow Republicans on Monday to"get tougher and fight" against the quickly moving House impeachment inquiry as Democrats blocked a GOP bid to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a leader of the impeachment inquiry.
While eviscerating Democrats' policies, Trump said he respects members of the party for sticking together. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., sponsored the resolution, which criticizes the way Schiff is conducting the investigation. Biggs and other Republicans say Schiff misled voters when he"manufactured a false retelling" of a conversation between Trump and Zelenskiy at a committee hearing last month. Schiff has said his words were meant as a parody.
Democrats say that Schiff has acted in a fair and bipartisan manner and that redacted transcripts of the depositions will be released. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Schiff a great patriot."What the Republicans fear most is the truth," Pelosi said in a statement."The president betrayed the oath of office, our national security and the integrity of our elections, and the GOP has not even tried to deny the facts. Instead, Republicans stage confusion, undermine the Constitution and attack the person of whom the president is most afraid.
