Adam Schiff: The Most Disturbing Possibility Is That Trump Really Believes His Wiretapping Claim [VIDEO]

Politico reports:



The veracity of President Donald Trump’s claims has “real-world consequences,” California Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday. Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said he doesn’t expect to see any evidence of the president’s explosive and unsubstantiated allegation last weekend that President Barack Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, which the White House has called on Congress to investigate.

“There are one or two possibilities here: Either the president quite deliberately for some reason made up this charge, or perhaps, more disturbing, the president really believes this,” Schiff told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.” In any case, Schiff said, what the president says is consequential. “If six months from now the president should say that Iran is cheating on the nuclear agreement, if he’s making that up, it’s a real problem,” Schiff said.
