Summary of Bill HRES 521
Bill 118 H.Res. 521 is a resolution introduced in the US House of Representatives that seeks to censure Adam Schiff, who represents the 30th Congressional District of California. The resolution accuses Schiff of making false statements and misleading the public during the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
The resolution specifically cites Schiff's comments during a House Intelligence Committee hearing in which he paraphrased a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Schiff claimed that Trump had asked Zelensky to "make up dirt" on his political rival, Joe Biden. However, the White House released a transcript of the call that did not contain those exact words.
The resolution argues that Schiff's statements were misleading and damaged the credibility of the House of Representatives. It also accuses Schiff of violating House rules by not accurately representing the facts of the call. Supporters of the resolution argue that censuring Schiff is necessary to hold him accountable for his actions and to maintain the integrity of the House of Representatives. Critics, on the other hand, argue that the resolution is politically motivated and an attempt to discredit Schiff, who played a key role in the impeachment inquiry. As of now, the resolution is still pending in the House of Representatives and it is unclear if it will be brought to a vote. If passed, censuring Schiff would be a formal reprimand of his actions, but would not result in any further consequences.
