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.

GOP's Attempt to Censure Adam Schiff Fails in House Vote.

Twenty Republicans in the House of Representatives joined Democrats in voting to set aside a resolution that would have censured Rep. Adam Schiff for insisting that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. The 225-196 vote effectively killed the resolution introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., and included two other Republican lawmakers voting "present" along with five Democrats.

"The Durham Report: A Disappointing Outcome for Trump Supporters"

Special counsel John Durham published his report into how U.S. government agents handled their investigations into possible coordination between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian efforts to interfere with the U.S. election. Durham criticized the way the FBI relied on raw intelligence in conducting its investigation and made recommendations for how politically sensitive probes could be conducted in the future. His four-year probe did not send anyone to jail and resulted in a single guilty plea.

The Durham Investigation: Revelations and Criticisms of the FBI's Handling of Trump-Russia Ties.

The Durham investigation, which was tasked with investigating allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and links between Donald Trump and Moscow, has delivered underwhelming results. The investigation did not reveal systemic wrongdoing or recommend new charges, and prosecutors secured a guilty plea from a little-known FBI employee but lost the only two criminal cases they took to trial. The investigation was highly critical of FBI and justice department practices. Durham charged Michael Sussmann, a former campaign lawyer for Hillary Clinton, with lying to the FBI, but he was acquitted in May 2022. Igor Danchenko, a thinktank analyst, was also charged with making false statements to the FBI but was acquitted in October 2022.
