The Democrat leading the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, under increasing pressure amid fabricating a phone call transcript and seeming to mislead the public over his contact with the person who filed a complaint against Trump, said that he regrets his remarks made during a live television interview last month.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, received information from the so-called whistleblower before the person, who has not been identified publicly, filed a complaint against Trump, according to a New York Times report on Oct. 2.
