12/15/2023, 3:51 PM

This resolution condemns, censures, and fines Representative Adam Schiff for conduct that misleads the American people.

Bill 118 HRES 437, titled "Censuring and Condemning Adam Schiff, Representative of California's 30th Congressional District," was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of formally reprimanding Congressman Adam Schiff for his actions and statements related to the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The bill accuses Schiff of making false statements and misrepresentations to the American public regarding the contents of the phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It also criticizes Schiff for his handling of the whistleblower complaint that sparked the impeachment inquiry.

The bill argues that Schiff's actions have damaged the credibility of the House of Representatives and undermined the integrity of the impeachment process. It calls for Schiff to be censured and formally condemned by the House of Representatives. Supporters of the bill argue that holding Schiff accountable for his actions is necessary to uphold the principles of honesty and transparency in government. Critics, however, argue that the bill is politically motivated and an attempt to discredit Schiff and the impeachment inquiry. As of now, the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and it remains to be seen whether it will gain enough support to pass in the House of Representatives.
