Schiff on Trump’s perceived retribution campaign: ‘We will not be intimidated’

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.

Trump, in a Truth Social post directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi in September, said Comey, James and Schiff are “all guilty as hell” and “we can’t delay any longer,” seemingly alluding to cases against them. After James and Comey got indicted within a few weeks following the president’s social media diatribe, some are wondering who might be next.

It could be Schiff, whom Trump has taken to calling “Shifty.”

The California senator headed the first impeachment inquiry into the president in 2019 and also sat on the House Select Committee that probed the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Schiff is currently under investigation for mortgage fraud claims — which has become Trump’s weapon of choice in his retribution campaign against his perceived foes — in Maryland, according to The New York Times.

MSNBC on Friday reported that Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton, another person on the president’s list, is expected to face criminal charges as early as next week.
