Democrat and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff (D-CA), narrowly survived an effort to censure him over a “parody” speech he gave at the opening of the House investigation into whether President Donald Trump sought information on former Vice President Joe Biden from Ukrainian officials.
The vote, which, unsurprisingly, went along party lines, tabled the censure resolution, saving Schiff from having to face questions over why he gave a speech implying a quid-pro-quo agreement between Trump and Ukrainian leaders when official transcripts of the President’s discussions with Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, show no such arrangement.
“The vote was 218 to 185 to table the resolution,” Fox News reports, with all Republicans voting against tabling the resolution and all Democrats voting for tabling the resolution. Independent Michigan Rep. Justin Amash voted with Democrats.
Senior Republicans told Fox News that the vote to table censuring Adam Schiff should not be the end of the matter, and that they hope Democrats will allow a “straight up-or-down” vote on censure or refer the issue to the House Ethics Committee.
