A group of 20 House Republicans voted with Democrats on Wednesday to table a resolution that would have censured California Democratic Rep. Adam B. Schiff for his criticism of former President Donald Trump.
The resolution, sponsored by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, sought to censure Schiff, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee and a candidate for California’s open Senate seat, and fine him $16 million. It said Trump’s first impeachment, in which Schiff was a prosecutor, was premised on false allegations.
The motion was tabled in a 225-196 vote, with two Republicans and five Democrats voting present.
