Today, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is pursuing “political vengeance” for blocking him and Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) from serving on the Intelligence Committee. At a news conference, Schiff accused McCarthy of doing the bidding of “his master at Mar-a-Lago,” a reference to former president Donald Trump. Schiff was a key player in Trump’s first impeachment. McCarthy has also vowed to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee, a move that would require a vote of the full House. Omar accused McCarthy of a “political stunt.”
