Adam Schiff During Testimony<\/h2>\n<p>During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Special Counsel John Durham engaged in a heated exchange with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) regarding the Russia investigation. The tension arose when Schiff questioned Durham about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer, as detailed in Robert Mueller&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff asked Durham if he was aware that the meeting was based on a Russian official offering dirt on Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign. In response, Durham delivered a clever retort, stating, &#8220;People get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not one to back down, Schiff pressed further, asking if Durham was suggesting that the son of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/durham-appears-to-squeeze-schiff-zinger-into-trump-russia-probe-testimony\/\" title=\"Durham's Testimony Suggests Schiff's Zinger in Trump-Russia Probe\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-knows-he-messed-up-on-fracking-at-debate-and-is-now-doing-damage-control-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Knows He Messed Up On Fracking At Debate And Is Now Doing Damage Control | The Daily Wire\">presidential candidate<\/a> regularly receives calls<\/a> from foreign governments offering dirt on their election rivals.

While Durham acknowledged that the Trump Tower meeting was ill-advised, he emphasized that it did not involve discussions about Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff countered by stating that conspiring to obtain incriminating opposition research from a hostile government is illegal. However, Mueller&#8217;s investigation, which concluded in 2019, did not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/six-capitol-police-officers-face-disciplinary-action-over-january-6-riot\/\" title=\"Six Capitol Police Officers Face Disciplinary Action Over January 6 Riot\">find sufficient evidence<\/a> of a criminal conspiracy between Trump&#8217;s campaign and Russia.
