In a Truth Social post yesterday, former President and 2024 GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he believes “sleazebag and traitor” U.S. House Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) “should be prosecuted for the damage he has done to this country.”
Trump made the declaration as he shared an op-ed by Paul Sperry that was published in the New York Post titled, “How Democrat Adam Schiff abused his power to demand I be kicked off Twitter simply due to a personal vendetta.”
“Schiff is a sleazebag and traitor, and should be prosecuted for the damage he has done to our Country!” Trump announced.
Sperry explained in the op-ed what he had recently learned from journalist Matt Taibbi following the #TwitterFiles release.
“Schiff, the powerful Democratic chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, made his ‘request’ to ban me through his staff in a November 2020 memo to Twitter. Three months later, in early February 2021, I was kicked off the platform,” Sperry wrote.
Schiff himself attacked Trump today over the demonstrations that took place in Brasil, which he blamed on the former president.
In a tweet today, Schiff said, “Rioters attack government buildings in Brazil, supporting a strongman’s bogus claims of election fraud.”
“The world will suffer the consequences of Trump’s terrible example for years to come. Even as we struggle to emerge from the same dark shadow. We stand with you, Brazil,” Schiff claimed.

Schiff also tried to deny accusations that were made against him by U.S. House Rep James Comer (R-TN) in an interview yesterday with NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.”
“The new Republican Oversight Chair just claimed I said something I never did. While making the argument you shouldn’t overpromise and underdeliver. I would say you can’t make this stuff up… Except clearly they can,” Schiff insisted.
