Trump uses FBI and Justice Department to escalate his long-standing feud with Adam Schiff
In the first Trump administration, then-Rep. Adam Schiff led the House’s investigations into Donald Trump, first as the top Democrat on the intelligence committee’s probe into Russian election interference and then as the lead investigator of the withholding of Ukraine aid that led to the president’s first impeachment.
When Trump was out of office, Schiff was a member of the House committee that investigated his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Now, with Trump back in the White House and Schiff in the Senate, the president is using the full force of the federal government to try to turn the tables on his longtime nemesis.

The allegations from the former staffer had already been investigated in Trump’s first term by federal prosecutors, who questioned the staffer’s credibility. But that didn’t stop Trump from using the claims as a basis to call on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the California Democrat.
