Ethics Complaint Filed Against Adam Schiff

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) announced Wednesday that he has filed a formal complaint against fellow congressman and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), accusing his colleague of several instances of “unprofessional and divisive behavior.”

Schiff has been a longtime critic of President Donald Trump, and has taken the lead in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into the president. . .

In Gaetz’s letter to the Ethics Committee — who have been quite busy the past few weeks — he referred to Schiff’s self-described “parody” account of a phone conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “wildly-inaccurate and distorted ‘retelling'” that “grossly misrepresent[ed] the content of the call to the American people.”

Gaetz also pointed to a March 2017 interview where “Mr. Schiff claimed to have ‘more than circumstantial evidence’ of President Trump and his campaign ‘colluding’ with Russia.” The Florida congressman continued, “As the report from Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has made clear, Mr. Schiff’s claim was baseless and untrue; to date, Chairman Schiff has not justified his statement.” (Read more from “Ethics Complaint Filed Against Adam Schiff” HERE)
