Congressman Adam Schiff is expected to lead the House Intelligence Committee in the New Year and as he told The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert he has a lot on his agenda. He said:
“For two years, we’ve had this deeply unethical man running the country. And for two years, the Republican Congress has done nothing to oversee any of the allegations of malfeasance, and that stops now.”
He also talked about whether Donald Trump may pardon some of those close to him.
“He can give pardons, but even the pardon power is not absolute. You cannot use the pardon power if your intention is to obstruct justice through the use of the pardon power. One of the things I would like to see us do in the new Congress is pass a bill that says if you pardon anyone in an investigation in which you or your family is a subject, witness, or target, the entire investigative files in that case will be provided to Congress.”
