President Donald Trump has criticized Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for “making up stories” during a congressional hearing, after Schiff, while appearing to read from the transcript of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, added words for dramatic effect.

Schiff, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, later claimed that what he did during the panel’s hearing with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire was part of a “parody” of what Trump had said.
