Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) conceded on Sunday that prosecuting former President Donald Trump poses a “difficult decision” for the Justice Department, despite there being enough evidence, in his view, to show criminal behavior.
The Jan. 6 committee, of which Schiff is a member, has been busy with a summer slate of hearings designed to tie Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election’s results and the Capitol riot. Attorney General Merrick Garland said he and prosecutors have been watching the hearings.
“Powerful evidence” shows Trump knew he lost the contest to now-President Joe Biden, even as he pressed allies and officials in his own government, including top brass in the Justice Department, to pursue his claims of widespread fraud, Schiff said on NBC News’s Meet the Press.
Schiff is a traitor to the nation and should be tried as a traitor
