House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) warned Wednesday that any White House attempts to stonewall the House impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump could further solidify accusations of obstruction of justice.
“If they are going to prevent witnesses from going forward to testify on the allegations in the whistleblower complaint, that will create an adverse inference that those allegations are, in fact, correct,” Schiff said during a press conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in which he responded to what he called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s attempt “to potentially interfere with witnesses.”
