Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) filed an ethics complaint against House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Wednesday, the latest signal House Republicans have lost trust in one of the leaders of the Democratic party.

Schiff faced calls to step down as chairman or resign and a censure motion for fabricating a portion of President Donald Trump’s phone call transcript and misleading the public on contact with the person who filed a complaint against Trump. Additionally, Republicans have repeatedly noted he said he had evidence of Trump colluding with Russia that he’s never produced.
