Even as House Democrats make a clear pivot away from the collusion question, they continue to rally around Adam Schiff — who refuses to let the matter go until lawmakers can assess the investigative materials that informed Mueller’s findings.
Still, Schiff has taken steps to put the panel’s investigation on hold, pending the release of Mueller’s findings. On Monday, he announced that the committee had indefinitely postponed a planned hearing with Felix Sater, a former business associate of the president who was involved in the pursuit to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
The House Intelligence Committee was a center of partisan fighting over Trump’s alleged Russia ties even before Mueller began his investigation, developing a reputation for discord and sniping during the GOP-led Russia probe that said there was no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia.“He essentially spent 22 months lying to the country,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz , one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Congress.
Gaetz said that in seeking Schiff’s ouster as committee chairman, Republicans were following the example set by Democrats, who in 2017 sought to remove Rep. Devin Nunes , when he led the committee.
