House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told National Public Radio (NPR) on Tuesday that President Donald Trump was guilty of “bribery,” though his committee’s own report largely ignored that claim.
Democrats pushed the 300-page report through the committee on a party-line vote Tuesday evening, just hours after its release. Republicans were allowed to read the Democrats’ report the night before, but could only read it in the Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the U.S. Capitol, and could only do so in the presence of a Democrat “minder” who would ensure Republicans would not leak or distribute its contents.

Throughout the report, there are only five mentions of “bribery.” One occurs when the report quotes the Constitution’s Impeachment Clause, providing impeachment and removal as the remedy only in the case of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Three other mentions cite claims by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that former Vice President Joe Biden might have been involved in bribery because of his conflict of interest in Ukraine. The only other mention is merely a reference to support congressional investigative powers.
At no point does the report make a case that Trump committed bribery.
