Senator Adam Schiff Faces Criticism
Schiff Under Fire After Video Leak
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is facing sharp criticism after a leaked video appeared to show him with his eyes closed during a crucial Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. The clip, widely shared on social media, has sparked bipartisan backlash and reignited scrutiny of Schiff’s political conduct following his 2023 congressional censure.
The hearing, centered on Bondi’s qualifications and her stance on issues such as presidential pardons, featured pointed exchanges between Schiff and Bondi before the alleged lapse occurred.
Heated Exchanges Before the Incident
The confirmation hearing began with Schiff questioning Bondi’s approach to presidential pardons. His pointed inquiries underscored the high stakes of the hearing.
“If confirmed, will you counsel the President to review pardons on a case-by-case basis rather than issuing blanket pardons?” Schiff asked.
Bondi responded with poise, emphasizing her commitment to upholding the law. “I will evaluate each case based on its merits and provide sound legal advice to the President,” she said.
