Trey Gowdy: Adam Schiff now a 'fact witness,' and GOP should call on him to testify about whistleblower

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has made himself a "fact witness" for how he dealt with a whistleblower whose complaint raised concerns about whether President Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

The California Democrat is facing criticism for making misleading statements about what he knew of the whistleblower after it was revealed he learned details about the unnamed CIA official's complaint before it was formally filed and is creating doubt about whether he was the right choice to lead the Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

"How long is Speaker Pelosi going to put up with Adam mishandling this investigation?" Gowdy said Friday on Fox News. "She has already taken it away from Jerry Nadler. I’m sure the guys and gals on the Judiciary Committee are not happy about having Adam Schiff do it. But if you are going to do it, at least don’t screw it up, Adam."
