Among President Trump’s long list of perceived political enemies, one lawmaker has drawn outsize scrutiny from the administration: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Trump has routinely fixated on the California senator, who investigated Russia’s 2016 election interference and served as the lead manager on Trump’s first impeachment.
Schiff was also a member of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, laying blame for the riot with Trump.
Since taking office for the second time, Trump has not just repeatedly bashed Schiff but tapped his powers to go after his adversary.
The administration has launched a probe into the lawmaker, suggesting he wrongly obtained more favorable lending conditions for his Washington-area home — a claim the lawmaker denies.
The Justice Department has also released to Congress other documents the administration says back Trump’s claims that Schiff is a leaker. Schiff has denied any improper release of classified information, while his team has said it’s an accusation from one disgruntled former employee.
Schiff appears to realize he may be in for a long-term battle.
Last month he created a legal defense fund as he prepares to fight the investigation into his Maryland home.
“It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable,” Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for Schiff, said in a statement.
“This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job.”
To Democrats, the reason for focusing on Schiff is obvious and alarming.
“There’s probably no one they hate more than Adam Schiff – and personally, just genuinely hate,” said Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), who was on the House Intelligence Committee as Schiff, then the top Democrat on the panel, was investigating_Trump.

Schiff is the ONLY person on a recording, conspiring with people he believed were Russian agents, fully intending to use that information to affect a US presidential election.
As goes the “Schiffing Point”, goes the swamp, so charge harder and faster.
Have I mentioned lately, The Hill may as well be Media Matters?
Adam Schiff will be just fine. As will Fauci, Bolton, etc. And they know it.
If Trump was really the dictator the libs claim, Schiff would have been the first in a series of DC high-rise defenestrations.
Schiffty is a morally bankrupt human being. Ask him if he ever got those pictures of Naked Trump from those Russians.
schiff (D-Traitor)
dont sweat it Schiff... theres just gonna be a lotta talk, some saber rattling and some threats but that will be it. the likelihood of you seeing well dissevered jail time is about Zilch...
Jail schiff(orbrains). He’s a lyin’ menace, traitor and a nuisance pile of defecation.
There is something seriously
wrong with that dude...
Massie, is getting there fast.
“Something the leftist hypocrites believe just started with the GOP this year.”
Right, Ray Donovan never did get his reputation back, did he? The well-timed prosection announcements, just before elections and all the rest.
Looks like another one of his brown alerts when he sees Trump nearing him.
More than Schitt for brains, I want to see Satans daughter Hillary F. Clinton finally getting her due justice. She was the mastermind behind everything, the Russia collusion hoax, the fake indictments, the fake impeachments. I would even go so far as to say the release of Covid and the attempted assassinations. The thing about Hillary is if she cant whack you she tries to destroy your life and she dont care what gets in her way “There will be hell to pay!”
