Summary
Adam Bennett Schiff is a prominent American politician and lawyer who currently serves as the junior United States Senator from California, a position he assumed in 2024. Prior to his Senate tenure, Schiff served twelve terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (2001–2024) and was a member of the California State Senate.

- How an Adam Schiff indictment could shake the Senate - POLITICO
“Adam Schiff was probably the most corrupt member of Congress when it came to pushing the totally false collusion hoax. … He used his position as chair of Intel to push that thing,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). He was referring to the accusations during the first Trump impeachment trial that centered around claims that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to dig up information about Biden. [...] Further underscoring the treacherous terrain in which Schiff now finds himself is that some Republicans are outwardly eager to have him targeted. [...] Schiff’s national profile precedes his current predicament, which means he’s had a considerable infrastructure supporting him. In the years between his election to the House in 2000, his rising to prominence during the first Trump administration, and then winning a Senate seat last year, he has assembled a team of Democratic firms and advisers.
