House rejects GOP attempt to censure Democrat Adam Schiff over Trump-Russia investigations.

The House rejected a Republican effort to censure and fine California Rep. Adam Schiff over his comments about former President Donald Trump and investigations into his ties to Russia. More than 20 Republicans voted with Democrats to stop the censure resolution or voted “present,” giving Democrats enough votes to block the measure. Schiff, who is running for Senate in his liberal state, said the censure resolution was “red meat” that Speaker Kevin McCarthy is throwing to his conference amid squabbles over government spending.
