Adam Bennett Schiff (born June 22, 1960) is an American lawyer, author, and politician serving as a U.S. representative from California since 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff was a member of the California State Senate from 1996 to 2000.
Schiff graduated from Stanford and Harvard Law School. As an Assistant United States Attorney, he successfully prosecuted Soviet spy Richard Miller in 1993 and began running for office the following year.

Schiff chaired the House Intelligence Committee from 2019 to 2023 and was removed from it by Speaker Kevin McCarthy in 2023. He is on leave from the House Appropriations Committee, which he joined in 2007. He previously served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Schiff was the lead impeachment manager in the first impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. He had previously served as the joint-lead impeachment manager in two judicial impeachments trials.
Schiff is a candidate in the 2024 United States Senate elections in California. After defeating fellow Democrats Katie Porter and Barbara Lee in the March 5 nonpartisan blanket primary, he will face former professional baseball player Steve Garvey, a Republican, in the November general election.
Adam Schiff has got to be one of the most dishonest liars in politics. He and Hillary started that entire “Russian Hoax” against Donald Trump. I would watch him on different news programs and he would tell America that he had evidence to prove the Russia allegations against Trump were true. He said it with such conviction knowing it was a lie and he had no evidence at all…because he knew it wasn’t true. But he continued with the LIE! He’s a despicable human being. When I look at him with those cold heartless eyes, I want to gag.
Hey Adam, can we get some Trump tax returns for Christmas?
You liberals need to find something new to stress about.
