President Trump lashed out anew Thursday at House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, accusing him of “unlimited
presidential harassment” after the panel announced a sweeping
new probe into the president’s foreign business dealings and
Russian election meddling.

“So now Congressman Adam Schiff announces, after having found
zero Russian Collusion, that he is going to be looking at every
aspect of my life, both financial and personal, even though
there is no reason to be doing so. Never happened before!” Trump
tweeted early Thursday.

“Unlimited Presidential Harassment,” he continued. “The Dems and
their committees are going ‘nuts.’ The Republicans never did
this to President Obama, there would be no time left to run
government. I hear other committee heads will do the same thing.
Even stealing people who work at the White House! A continuation
of Witch Hunt!”

The intelligence committee on Wednesday also voted to hand over
interview transcripts to Special Counsel Robert Mueller that
were generated by the panel’s previous Russia investigation,
which was led by former chairman, now-Ranking Member Devin
Nunes, R-Calif., who proved to be an ally of the president. The
Nunes-led probe ended last March after finding “no evidence” of
collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016
presidential election.

Republicans had previously voted to release the transcripts of
witness interviews publicly, but the intelligence community has
since blocked the move to ensure no sensitive or classified
materials are disclosed.

Schiff, though, has been after the president since last year,
charging in 2018 that Trump’s financial records with Deutsche
Bank and Russia may reveal a “form of compromise” that “needs to
be exposed.” Schiff has long maintained that there had to be
some reason that the German banking giant, which has what he
called a “history of laundering Russian money,” was willing to
work with the Trump Organization.

In response, Trump blasted Schiff as a “political hack.”

“He has no basis to do that. He’s just a political hack who’s
trying to build a name for himself,” Trump said. “It’s just
presidential harassment and it’s unfortunate and it really does
hurt our country.”

Trump had warned during his State of the Union address on
Tuesday night that an “economic miracle is taking place in the
United States—and the only thing that can stop it are foolish
wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations.”

In a separate part of the panel’s investigation, Schiff
announced Wednesday that he would postpone an upcoming closed-
door interview with Trump’s former personal attorney Michael
Cohen. Schiff said Cohen would appear, instead, on Feb. 28.
Schiff cited the “interests of the investigation” for the reason
why the hearing was rescheduled.

Cohen has also rescheduled a hearing with the House Oversight
Committee, chaired by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. His attorney,
Lanny Davis, cited alleged “ongoing threats” against Cohen’s
family from Trump and his attorney, former New York City Mayor
Rudy Giuliani.

Cohen was also subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Davis has signaled that his client will comply with the subpoena
and appear before the committee, but the date for when that will
occur remains unclear. Cohen does not have to report to prison
until March 6.
