Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), overcoming a procedural hurdle that blocked a similar measure targeting the California Democrat last week and teeing up a final vote later in the day.<\/p>\n<p>The House voted 208-218 along party lines on a motion to table the measure, rejecting a Democratic-led effort to block the resolution from coming to the floor for a vote.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The chamber is expected to vote on the censure resolution, which will require a simple majority, late Wednesday afternoon. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters on Tuesday that he expects the resolution to pass the House.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s vote marked the second time the House voted on a motion to table a resolution to censure Schiff for his handling of investigations into former President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) forced a vote on a resolution to censure Schiff last week, but the effort was blocked\u00a0after 20 Republicans\u00a0joined Democrats in supporting a motion to table the measure, effectively killing it. Some of the GOP defectors raised concerns with a non-binding \u201cwhereas\u201d clause in the resolution that said if the Ethics Committee found that Schiff \u201clied, made misrepresentations, and abused sensitive information,\u201d he should be fined $16 million.<\/p>\n<p>That number, according to the resolution, was half the amount of money that American taxpayers paid to fund the investigation into potential collusion between Trump and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Luna, however, introduced a revised censure resolution last week \u2014\u00a0which nixed the fine language, among other changes \u2014 and brought it to the floor as a privileged measure\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>A number of last week\u2019s GOP defectors changed their vote and helped advance the bill Wednesday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Luna\u2019s resolution seeks to censure Schiff \u201cfor misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives.\u201d It would also direct the Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation into Schiff.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to removing language about a $16 million fine, the revised Schiff censure resolution just calls for censuring Schiff while last week\u2019s involved censuring and condemning the congressman. The new version also omitted non-binding \u201cwhereas\u201d clauses that say Schiff \u201cpurposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people\u201d and that he \u201cexploited\u201d his positions on the House Intelligence Committee \u201cto encourage and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The revamped resolution does, however, add several clauses: it cites a March 2019 letter signed by Republicans on the Intelligence panel calling on Schiff \u2014 the then-chairman of the committee \u2014 to resign from the top post, argues that Schiff \u201chindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the Intelligence Community,\u201d and says he \u201cmisled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
