GOP effort to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff fails in key vote | CNN Politics

A Republican-led effort to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff has failed in a key House vote

The House voted Wednesday on a motion to table – or kill – the resolution, a motion put forward by House Democrats. Enough Republicans crossed the aisle in support for the effort to succeed in blocking the censure. The vote was 225 to 196 with 20 Republicans voting with Democrats to table the resolution. The censure resolution, sponsored by GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, broadly criticizes Schiff with a focus on his role in investigations of the former president.

” Schiff, in his letter to colleagues, called the resolution “false” and “defamatory,” saying it targets him for his “work holding Donald Trump accountable.” “As honored as I am to have earned their enmity, attempting to censure those who defend the Constitution against a corrupt president sets a dangerous precedent,” Schiff wrote.
