Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., leveled threats to investigate news organizations that have made settlements with President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress in the 2026 midterms.
"These studios, these companies, these media conglomerates need to understand that right now it may be carte blanche for them — right now they may be able to have ABC make a payment to the president personally and CBS do the same or change the content, but there's going to be an investigation into all of this when the Congress changes hands. And if there were improper considerations went into greasing the skids on this, this is going to come to light," Schiff said on Friday's installment of "The Town" podcast.
"There's going to be an accounting and companies need to know that if they're engaged in corrupt or illicit activity or improper activity that there's going to be accountability... We're not just going to look past whether there was money changing hands to grease the skids here. That accountability is going to be very important," Schiff added.
