New House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is delivering on his promise.
According to a Town Hall report, McCarthy is stripping Democratic Representatives Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell of their committee assignments.
“Swalwell can’t get a security clearance in the private sector. I’m not going to give him a government security clearance. Schiff has lied to the American public,” McCarthy told reporters late Monday night. “We will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either.”
From Town Hall:
The move is especially damaging for Schiff, who abused his position as House Intelligence Committee Chairman to investigate President Donald Trump over bogus “Russian collusion” during the 2016 presidential election. For years Schiff claimed evidence was “hiding in plain site” that would lead to an indictment of Trump. After years of what Trump called a witch hunt, in addition to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s lengthy and expensive investigation, the politically charged allegations never came true.
Shortly after the 2022 midterm elections in November, when Democrats lost control of the House, Schiff responded to McCarthy’s plans to strip him of his committee assignments by claiming his record was being “misrepresented.”
See ya, Schiff.
