A recently leaked video has sparked controversy, leaving Rep. Adam Schiff in an awkward position. The clip shows Schiff discussing proposed legislation from 2018 that would mandate the transfer of investigative files to Congress if a president pardons someone under congressional scrutiny.
The video gained renewed attention following President Joe Biden’s controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday. The sweeping pardon covers all alleged criminal activities dating back to 2014, intensifying accusations of unethical behavior involving Hunter and his father, especially related to Ukraine during the Obama administration.
Critics have highlighted Schiff’s remarks as contradictory, leading to online backlash. The incident has amplified debates over political accountability and ethical standards.
