Prez goes ‘sleazy’ on probe rep.

- Mark Moore

President Trump and the top Democrat on a House panel probing Russia’s interferen­ce in the 2016 election went at it on Twitter on Monday.

Trump began by blasting Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for appearing on TV news shows to talk about the investigat­ions.

“Sleazy Adam Schiff, the totally biased Congressma­n looking into ‘Russia,’ spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!” Trump wrote.

It didn’t take long for the California Democrat to respond with his own zinger. “With respect Mr. President, the problem is how often you watch TV, and that your comments and actions are beneath the dignity of the office,” Schiff responded.

Schiff, a member of the House Intelligen­ce Committee, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that “the president is very concerned about” special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigat­ion.

Trump has called the probes a “witch hunt.” devised by Democrats upset that he won the election.

Earlier Monday, Trump took his criticism about Washington to a new level: “Drain the Swamp should be changed to Drain the Sewer - it’s actually much worse than anyone ever thought, and it begins with the Fake News!” the president tweeted.
