IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 16, 2023 
Mrs. LUNA (for herself, Mr. DAVIDSON, Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California, Mr. 
LUTTRELL, Mr. GAETZ, Mrs. BOEBERT, Mr. MOORE of Alabama, Mr. 
HERN, Mr. BURLISON, Ms. HAGEMAN, Mr. NORMAN, and Mr. 
LANGWORTHY) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on Ethics 
RESOLUTION 
Censuring Adam Schiff, Representative of the 30th 
Congressional District of California. 
Whereas the allegation that President Donald Trump 
colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 Presidential 
election has been revealed as false by numerous in-depth 
investigations, including the recent report by Special 
Counsel John Durham, which documents how the con-
spiracy theory was invented, funded, and spread by Presi-
dent’s Trump’s political rivals; 
Whereas Representative Adam Schiff, who served as ranking 
minority member and then Chairman of the Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Rep-
resentatives (the ‘‘Intelligence Committee’’), occupied po-

sitions of extreme trust, affording him access to sensitive 
intelligence unavailable to most Members of Congress; 
Whereas, for years, Representative Schiff abused this trust 
by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear 
from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Depart-
ment of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and 
Special Counsel Durham, never existed; 
Whereas, for years, Representative Schiff has spread false ac-
cusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia; 
Whereas, on March 20, 2017, Representative Schiff perpet-
uated false allegations from the Steele Dossier accusing 
numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia into 
the Congressional Record; 
Whereas, once again abusing his privileged access to classi-
fied information, Representative Schiff released a memo 
justifying the accuracy of the Foreign Intelligence Sur-
veillance Act (FISA) warrant application on Trump asso-
ciate Carter Page, of which was later found by Inspector 
General Horowitz to have 17 major mistakes and omis-
sions, provoking FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary 
Collyer to state unequivocally that the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation ‘‘misled the FISC’’; 
Whereas, as ranking minority member and Chairman of the 
Intelligence Committee, Representative Schiff behaved 
dishonestly and dishonorably on many other occasions, 
including by publicly, falsely denying that his staff com-
municated with a whistleblower to launch the first im-
peachment of President Trump; 
Whereas, as part of his impeachment efforts, during a hear-
ing on September 26, 2019, Representative Schiff misled 
the public by reading a false retelling of a phone call be-

tween President Trump and Ukrainian President 
Volodymyr Zelensky; 
Whereas, on March 28, 2019, every Republican member of 
the Intelligence Committee signed a letter calling for 
Representative Schiff’s immediate resignation as Chair-
man; 
Whereas Representative Schiff hindered the ability of the In-
telligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities 
over the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar 
of our national security; and 
Whereas these actions of Representative Schiff misled the 
American people and brought disrepute upon the House 
of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives censures 
Adam Schiff, Representative of the 30th Congres-
sional District of California, for misleading the 
American public and for conduct unbecoming of an 
elected Member of the House of Representatives; 
(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith 
present himself in the well of the House of Rep-
resentatives for the pronouncement of censure; 
(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be cen-
sured with the public reading of this resolution by 
the Speaker; and 
(4) the Committee on Ethics shall conduct an 
investigation into Representative Adam Schiff’s
