Schiff has been censured.
According to a Fox News report, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been censured by the House of Representatives for spreading false allegations about Trump and Russian collusion.
Not one Democrat voted to censure Schiff. The resolution passed 213-209 in a vote – six Republicans voted “present.”
From Fox News:
It was the second time the House tried to pass a resolution censuring Schiff from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. A resolution from Luna failed on the House floor last week because it recommended a fine against Schiff of $16 million, which Democrats and 20 Republicans opposed.
With that language removed, the resolution was able to pass on a party-line vote, which Luna said was needed to fight back against Schiff’s “lies” about Trump.
“As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all-out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president, at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives,” Luna said before the vote. “With access to sensitive information unavailable to most members of Congress and certainly not accessible to the American people, Schiff abused his privileges, claiming to know the truth while leaving Americans in the dark about his web of lies… lies so severe that they altered the course of the country forever.”

Schiff spoke in his own defense on the House floor.
“To my Republican colleagues who introduced this resolution, I thank you. You honor me with your enmity you, you flatter me with this falsehood,” Schiff said.
“You, who are the authors of a big lie about the last election, must condemn the truth tellers,” he said. “And I stand proudly before you. Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful.”
