“Last week a GOP Representative filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives. Just now that same representative filed a motion to censure and fine me—to the tune of $16 million. They aren’t getting the message: It will not work. I will not back down,” -Adam Schiff; Twitter; 6.23.23.
Special counsel John Durham released his report into the Trump-Russia probe earlier this month, finding that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should have never launched its investigation, according to CNN. Schiff criticized the report in a tweet after its release, the Washington Examiner reported.
The Facebook video claims that Schiff was served with a $16 million fine. The video’s caption reads, “Adam Schiff Just Got Served – $16 Million Fine For Russia Collusion Investigation."
This claim, however, is false as Schiff has not been served with a $16 million fine. If he had been served with such a fine, media outlets would have covered it, yet none have. Schiff has not released a statement indicating that he had been hit by a $16 million fine. --Elias Atienza; Check Your Facts June 6, 2023
