Adam Schiff wants Trump to be stripped of his ability to obtain intelligence when he leaves office

Adam Schiff said Sunday that Donald Trump should not receive further information at least before his term expires or after he raises national security concerns.

‘There is no situation where this president should get other information, not now, not in the future,’ the chairman of the House Information Committee told CBS ” Face the Nation ‘this morning Sunday.

‘I don’t think it’s possible to be trusted now and in the future, it certainly can’t be trusted,’ Schiff continued. ‘In fact, there were, I think, any number of our intelligence partners around the world who probably started withholding information from us because they didn’t trust that the president would protecting that information and protecting their sources and methods. And that makes us safer. ‘

While there are only three days left of Trump’s presidency, former FBI director James Comey said the vice president will receive information about the state of the world and the potential dangers.

‘It is my understanding,’ Comey said in an interview with ABC’s ‘The View’ on Friday, ‘vice-presidents, not all the time but regularly, receive general information messages about the state of affairs. worlds and threats to the country. ‘

The House voted Wednesday to urge Trump to ‘incite revolution’ by arousing crowds before they storm the Capitol. They are now arguing that he should be convicted and no longer receive any post-dominance benefits, such as a pension, Secret Service details or briefings.

Comey revealed that the intelligence community wants to give vice-presidents a picture of what’s going on in the world. ‘

“They also receive specific information if there is a risk to them,” he said.

In addition to leaking information in the future, there are concerns from Democrats and from within the intelligence community that Trump could pass on to people sensitive information he learned as president. not authorized to receive.

Some have even built the capacity to sell information to foreign enemies.

‘We’ve seen this president politicize information, and that’s another threat to the country,’ Schiff told CBS’s Margaret Brennen.

Schiff is urging Joe Biden’s administration to ban Trump completely from having any post-presidential meetings, considering it a security threat.

Post-primary information meetings, Comey said, are usually controlled by a national information director.

He said that anyone who fills that fole should ‘take a hard look at whether Donald Trump should be given information, including any information that may be of interest to U.S. security United. ‘

‘The boy is a lying demon that you can’t trust,’ said Comey. ‘You want to be very careful about what you give him.’

Former FBI Director James Comey explained on Friday that past presidents are being given few preparations about the state of the world and, in particular, if there are direct threats to them.

‘I hope he will be removed from a vice president by being convicted by the US Senate and barred from further involvement in a public office,’ he said. ‘That may be a reason for them to cut it off completely.’

The House entered Trump on Wednesday for ‘inciting revolt’ after it drew a crowd before marching over to the Capitol and breaking down the building. Trump is now the only president to have been inducted twice.

It is not clear whether the Senate will vote to condemn him but Democrats and 17 Republicans would have to vote for the measure. If this happened, Trump would be deprived of his post-presidential benefits, such as his pension and Secret Service details, and would be barred from running for office again in the future.

Schiff was a senior manager for the first lawsuit in which the Senate did not vote to condemn Trump on one of two articles sent to the upper chamber from the House.
