Dems leading Trump impeachment probe bring their own baggage
By Fred Lucas | Fox News
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the new acting chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, is highly unpopular with one prominent constituent—President Trump.
Oversight is one of six committees House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has tapped to run the impeachment inquiry. It just so happens Maloney’s 14th Congressional District in Manhattan includes Trump Tower.
But she and other impeachment committee chairs also come to the political fight of the decade with past controversies that could be magnified as the president and his allies look to fight back.
House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the de facto leader on impeachment, already has faced an ethics complaint and a failed bid by Republicans to censure him for how he’s conducted the inquiry thus far.
Maloney, Schiff and the other lawmakers at the helm are likely to face more GOP attacks in the weeks ahead.
