Arrest for treason?

Trump believes that Schiff misrepresented the content of his conversation with Zelensky.

On Monday, the president tweeted that the congressman "illegally made up FALSE and terrible testimony, passed it off as the most important words in my conversation with the Ukrainian President, and read it out loud in front of Congress and the American people."

Schiff spoke at a meeting of the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, the day after the transcript was posted on the White House website.

On Sunday, Trump called Schiff's speech "perhaps the most blatant lie" to come out of the House in its history and suggested that the congressman should be "questioned at the highest level for fraud and treason."

The Congressman actually led the investigation as part of the Trump impeachment process. Prior to being elected parliamentary, Schiff served as California Attorney and impeached federal judges.

Schiff denied high treason in an interview with ABC on Sunday.

“The president believes he has a God-given right to court foreign leaders to help him get re-elected,” Schiff said.
