House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came to the defense of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Friday, while at the same time taking a shot at one of their fiercest Republican critics.
Pelosi responded to Schiff's tweet, which shared a video of his fiery speech during a House Intelligence Committee hearing (a panel he chairs), by criticizing Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
".@RepAdamSchiff’s calm, professional leadership is something we should all be proud of," she wrote. "Unlike his predecessor, his time as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has been a shining example of how to responsibly carry out the committee's mission."
Schiff has been heavily criticized for his continued insistence that there is evidence showing President Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to win the 2016 election — despite special counsel Robert Mueller clearing Trump of any wrongdoing in his investigation that wrapped up last week. Many Republicans have called for Schiff to either resign or be removed from his post as chair of the Intelligence Committee.
Schiff defended himself in a five-minute speech Thursday.
