Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced that his campaign for the U.S. Senate has raised an impressive $8.1 million during the second quarter. This comes after his removal from the House Intelligence Committee and the subsequent censure related to the Russiagate controversy.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on social media, Schiff expressed his gratitude, stating, &#8220;Last quarter, we raised over $8.1 million\u2014with an average contribution of just $34. We&#8217;re in this fight together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Schiff faced censure on June 21 in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-joe-manchin-threatens-to-derail-bidens-1-9-trillion-aid-bill-unless-it-receives-bipartisan-support\/\" title=\"Sen. Joe Manchin Threatens To Derail Biden\u2019s .9 Trillion Aid Bill Unless It Receives \u2018Bipartisan\u2019 Support\">party-line vote<\/a> in the Republican-controlled House. The resolution accused him of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-furious-woman-whose-mother-died-in-ny-nursing-home-says-nbc-news-blocked-her-mentioning-cuomos-name\/\" title=\"WATCH: Furious Woman Whose Mother Died In NY Nursing Home Says NBC News Blocked Her Mentioning Cuomo\u2019s Name\">making false claims<\/a> about former President Donald Trump&#8217;s involvement in Russiagate. Despite the censure, Schiff&#8217;s campaign manager, Brad Elkins, revealed that the second-quarter donations came from over 144,000 unique donors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I say we are a grassroots campaign, I mean it!&#8221; Schiff exclaimed. He is currently running for the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat of retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5278087\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/19\/id5278087-Senate_Feinstein_23131613064188.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    Sen.

This surpasses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bloomberg-biden-sets-new-record-taking-dark-money-donations\/\" title=\"Bloomberg: Biden sets new record taking dark money donations\">previous record set<\/a> by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) of $7.2 million raised in the second quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s still very early, and while the polls will shift, Adam continues to lead in every critical metric,&#8221; said Elkins in a memo to Politico. &#8220;Our campaign continues to build significant advantages that will propel Adam forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;Trump is Threatening Me&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Schiff&#8217;s strong donation numbers indicate that portraying Trump as a threat to American democracy can be an effective fundraising strategy for Democrats. Schiff recently took to Twitter to complain about Trump attacking him on social media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump is threatening me on Truth Social again. For holding him accountable. In the House, I impeached him. In the Senate, I&#8217;ll keep fighting his assaults on our democracy,&#8221; Schiff tweeted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5371416\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/07\/03\/id5371416-GettyImages-1379003728-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    Former US President Donald Trump speaks to the crowd during a campaign event in Pickens, South Carolina on July 1, 2023.

One user accused him of repeatedly lying and misleading the nation, calling for his resignation.<\/p>\n<h2>Schiff&#8217;s Continued Belief in Trump-Russia Collusion<\/h2>\n<p>Despite a recent report by special counsel John Durham, which concluded that there was no evidence of collusion between Trump&#8217;s campaign and Russia, Schiff remains convinced of the conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you read Mr. Durham&#8217;s report, what he said is that there wasn&#8217;t evidence of collusion before they began the investigation. That&#8217;s obviously a very important distinction,&#8221; Schiff stated when asked about the report&#8217;s findings.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff&#8217;s unwavering belief in Trump-Russia collusion has sparked debate and further discussion on the matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"post_list\">\n<li class=\"article\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/claims-that-russian-bots-pushed-releasethememo-were-fake-latest-twitter-files-confirm_4982009.html\">Internal Twitter Documents Show Prominent Democrats Pushed Russiagate Lie<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
