"As a California congressman, Adam Schiff was the lead manager during the first impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. He later served on the January 6th committee. Trump has castigated him as "Shifty Schiff" and demanded that the Justice Department investigate him. In a conversation with David Remnick, Schiff discusses the current inquiry into his mortgage by federal authorities, the Supreme Court's primary role in enabling this Administration, and why he thinks the rule of law in America is "hanging by a thread.""
"Unlike some Democrats, Schiff is not sanguine that the release of the Epstein files will damage Trump politically. "If there are ruinous things in the files . . . Bondi and company will make sure they never reach the public eye," Schiff says. But also, "I think he's almost impervious to dirt.""

He expresses little confidence that the release of the Epstein files will politically damage Trump, saying allies will suppress ruinous materials and that Trump is almost impervious to dirt.
