President Trump Threatens to Sue House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff

President Donald J. Trump — speaking at a Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. — said he was thinking about suing House of Representatives Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff. The president also said he was contemplating legal action against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It should be noted that Trump has a history of threatening legal action against individuals but not following up on it.
 
The 59-year-old Schiff, who is Jewish, has been playing a leading role in the impeachment inquiry about a Trump phone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. (He is Jewish as well.) Critics of Trump contend the U.S. President pressured the Ukrainians to dig up dirt on potential Democratic nominee Joe Bden and his son, which is illegal under U.S. law.
 
Quotes: “We’re going to take a look at [suing]. We’re going after these people. These are bad, bad people. Sue [Schiff] anyway, even if we lose, the American public will understand. And sue Nancy Pelosi. Or maybe we should just impeach them, because they’re lying and what they’re doing is a terrible thing for our country.” — President Donald J. Trump
