OPINION — “Do the Russians continue to hold some financial leverage over the president?”  That is one question Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will be looking to get answered as he looks forward to January when he will take over the chairmanship of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“If the president was willing to mislead the country about efforts to get a Trump Tower deal in Moscow during the presidential campaign, is he still willing to mislead the country about financial connections that continue to this day?”  Schiff asked during an interview last Thursday on CNN.
