Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) added words that were not spoken by President Donald Trump while reading from a transcript of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Sept. 26.
Schiff, the chairman of the committee and a big proponent of the Russia-Trump collusion theory, opened the hearing. During his opening remarks, he said the transcript of the July call “reads like a classic organized crime shakedown.”
