President Donald Trump took to social media to criticize Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) early on Monday, Sept. 30, asking whether the Californian lawmaker should be “arrested for treason” for fabricating parts of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a House committee hearing.

“Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people,” Trump wrote in a Twitter post. “It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?”
