Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Saturday that he will not be “intimidated” or “deterred” by President Trump’s perceived retribution threats, as a growing number of officials on the commander in chief’s perceived enemies list face charges.
The California Democrat, both a frequent critic of the president and target of his ire, said in a video posted on the social platform X that Trump’s “long and growing” list is not a secret, while warning his Republican colleagues that even they will not be protected from the president’s “vengeance.”
“But we will not be intimidated,” he wrote in post accompanying the video. “We will not be deterred. We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.”
Schiff’s comments come just days after New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) was indicted by a federal grand jury on two charges tied to mortgage fraud allegations. Former FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday pleaded not guilty after being indicted on two charges stemming from congressional testimony he gave in 2020.
