H. Res. 521 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 21, 2023. 
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, Department 
of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Spe-
cial 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
•HRES 521 EH 
numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia into 
the Congressional Record; 
Whereas once again abusing his privileged access to classified 
information, Representative Schiff released a memo justi-
fying the accuracy of the Foreign Intelligence Surveil-
lance 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 hearing 
on September 26, 2019, Representative Schiff misled the 
public by reading a false retelling of a phone call between 
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
•HRES 521 EH 
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 Congressional 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 Representa-
tives for the pronouncement of censure; 
(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be censured 
with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; 
and 
(4) the Committee on Ethics shall conduct an inves-
tigation into Representative Adam Schiff’s falsehoods, 
misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
