Anna Paulina Luna, who said Thursday she has reached an agreement with the 20 Republicans on a revised censure resolution she believes can pass the House as early as next week.<\/p>\n<p>The new attempt at censure is for Schiff making \u201cfalse accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia,\u201d a draft of the resolution reads, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/adam-schiff-hasnt-escaped-censure-gop-try-again-condemn-false-accusations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, meanwhile, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/americarenewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Violation-by-Adam-Schiff-of-House-Rule-XXIII-5-U.S.C.-%C2%A7-7353a-.docx-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> to the Office of Congressional Ethics, the Center for Renewing America \u2014 a conservative think tank \u2014 called for Schiff to be investigated and punished with \u201cappropriate disciplinary and remedial action\u2014up to and including expulsion.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.@amrenewctr filed a complaint to @CongressEthics, requesting lawmakers investigate @RepAdamSchiff over his claims of Russian collusion w\/ Donald Trump in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The request comes one day after the House voted to table a proposal seeking to censure Schiff.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XZzHuwQKBT\">https:\/\/t.co\/XZzHuwQKBT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dcexaminer\/status\/1669377049792856066?\">June 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Clinton campaign\u2019s fabricated collusion narrative has had no greater champion than Schiff, whose dedication to perpetuating the Russia Hoax without regard for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-barely-dodging-censure-democratic-rep-adam-schiff-faces-more-problems\/\" title=\"Democratic Rep.
