Adam Schiff not out of the woodshed yet: GOP will move again to condemn his 'false accusations'
20 Republicans voted against a resolution censuring Schiff this week
By Peter Kasperowicz , Jacqui Heinrich | Fox News
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said Thursday that Republicans will try again to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for making "false accusations" against former President Donald Trump, after the House voted down a censure resolution against Schiff on Wednesday.
In that vote, 20 Republicans rejected Luna’s censure resolution, in part because it recommended a $16 million fine against Schiff for telling "lies" about collusion between Trump and Russia, something that several investigations were never able to prove. Luna says that number is roughly half the cost of investigating Trump, probes that were never able to show collusion.
One lawmaker, Rep. Tom Massie, R-Ky., said the inclusion of language about fining Schiff violates the Constitution. Because Massie and several other Republicans opposed that language, the House voted 225-196 to set the censure resolution aside.
But Luna said Thursday that she reached an agreement with those 20 Republicans on new censure language and said the House is expected to vote on it soon.
