Adam Schiff Censured by House Republicans for Role in Trump-Russia Investigations

The US House of Representatives has voted to censure Democrat Adam Schiff for accusing Donald Trump of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election. The Republican-controlled chamber approved the measure along party lines, with 213 Republicans voting in favour and 209 Democrats against it. Mr Schiff said he would wear the vote of disapproval as a "badge of honour". The censure has little practical effect, especially given that Mr Schiff is already eyeing election to the US Senate, but it is evidence of an escalating tit-for-tat in the embattled congressional chamber.
