Schiff proudly embraces being on Trump’s enemies list.

Rep. Adam Schiff: An Honor to be on Trump’s Enemies List

“Just the other day, Trump said I should be imprisoned,” Schiff told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday. “And, of course, it’s not the first time he’s called for jailing me. You have to wonder, could a President Trump, unshackled by any opposition, somehow use the Justice Department to imprison his enemies?”

It’s an accusation Trump himself has made against the Biden administration, saying the DOJ has been weaponized to put him in jail and keep him from winning a second term in office. Other Republicans have made the same claim.

“It is unconscionable for a president to indict the enemies list.”>leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted following Trump’s indictment.

But Schiff firmly believes that Trump should not be trusted with the DOJ or any other part of the executive branch.

“You can’t bet against how he would try to abuse the Justice Department,” Schiff told Psaki. “But I would also say it’s a badge of honor to be on his enemies list.”

The well-known Democrat, who is running for a California Senate seat, then listed some of the reasons Trump may target him, including his work on the Jan. 6 committee and his role in the 45th president’s first impeachment.

“It’s not going to deter me,” Schiff said.
