Following a statement made by Republican House Speaker and California Representative Kevin McCarthy, California Democrat Adam Schiff is outraged.

According to Fox News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram, the Speaker has declared his support for a resolution introduced by Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, to seal the records of the former president’s two impeachments.

“Yeah, because, look, I voted against both impeachments,” McCarthy said to reporters on Friday.

The Speaker claimed the former president’s initial impeachment, which was based on a phone conversation he had with the president of Ukraine, was “not based on true facts.” The second impeachment, based on the incident that occurred at the Capitol on January 6, was “on the basis of no due process.”

He then discussed how, in light of information from IRS whistleblowers and other sources, Democrats should apply the same standards to President Joe Biden as they did to former President Donald Trump.

“So what about at 10:23 today that said an individual had to pay the Biden family and he had to use shell companies to pass it through,” the Speaker said. “Is that more than a phone call?”

“And what about what we just found from Jason Smith, where now you have DOJ warning Hunter Biden ahead of time,” he said. “You now have 51 individuals, who when they had a laptop that had been classified certification — that you’re talking to former CIA directors and others— lie to the American public before an election, saying that that was Russia collusion.”

“At the same time you have a number of items that if I raise the bar to an impeachment with the same level that the Democrats did, I think there’d be a lot of times impeachment,” he said.

Breitbart News adds:

Stefanik’s resolution aims to expunge Trump’s impeachment concerning January 6. She asserts the facts and circumstances upon which the House Democrats impeached Trump did not meet the burden of proving that Trump committed “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” She also argues the impeachment did not establish that Trump engaged in an “insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Greene’s resolution focuses on Trump’s 2019 impeachment regarding the “perfect phone call.” Greene argues Trump was wrongfully accused of misconduct, demonstrated by the information revealed in the FBI informant document that alleges Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe. The resolution asserts the articles of impeachment did not meet the burden of proof of “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

In other Trump-related news, it was reported on Wednesday that the former president has learned which witnesses will be called to depose against him in the alleged improper management of classified information.

The information was divulged as a consequence of the Justice Department’s disclosure of “grand jury testimony of witnesses who will testify for the government at the trial of this case” during the pre-trial discovery phase.

However, neither a specific list of the witnesses nor a description of their testimony before the grand jury were included in the DOJ’s brief.

Monday, the federal magistrate supervising the case prohibited the former president from disclosing any information provided by federal prosecutors to his legal team.

“The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart noted in his order.

Due to the sensitivity of the information, the order stipulates that Trump and his legal team are prohibited from disclosing any of it in “any public filing or in open court without notice to, and agreement from, the United States, or prior approval from the Court.”

Additionally, the defense counsel has been instructed to store all documents in a secure location. In addition, it stipulates that all materials must be returned to the US government or destroyed within 90 days of the conclusion of the case.
