Schiff: Amash criticism not enough bipartisan support
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-calif., said Sunday that Republican Rep. Justin Amash’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s “impeachable conduct” isn’t enough to count as bipartisan support for impeachment proceedings.
If Democrats pursue impeachment, it “has less to do with Justin Amash and more to do with the fact that the administration is engaging in a maximum obstructionism campaign against Congress,” Schiff said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Amash, R-mich., on Saturday became the first member of Trump’s party on Capitol Hill to accuse him of “impeachable conduct.”
Trump slammed Amash Sunday on Twitter: “Never a fan of @justinamash, a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy.”
