Rep. Adam Schiff said he expects the incoming Republican majority will give in to its 'lowest common denominator' members by pursuing decisions like removing him from his committee assignments.
McCarthy has said that removing lawmakers like Schiff from their committee posts was a precedent set by Democrats when they and some Republicans voted to strip Greene of her committee work as punishment for her history of inflammatory and conspiratorial statements.
Karl also asked Schiff if he thought Attorney General Merrick Garland made the right decision by appointing a special prosecutor to oversee the Justice Department's investigations into former President Donald Trump, who just launched a third presidential campaign. "It's the right thing to do, and most particularly if you ensure that it won't cause any delay," Schiff said. "So, if the same prosecutors that have been investigating the former president and others can be moved on to the special prosecutor's team, then there's every reason to do it, no reason not to do it.""Leading up to this point ... they were very slow at the department to work up the multiple lines of effort to overturn the election.
Schiff also lambasted Elon Musk's decision to let Trump back onto Twitter after the former president's account was suspended after the insurrection.
