President Donald Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to speak about the reported grand jury investigation into Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), only to be told that she could not legally do so.
Back in August, NBC News reported that sources at the Department of Justice said that grand juries would investigate Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James for potential mortgage fraud in separate cases. James was indicted two weeks ago.
The president took questions from reporters at the White House on Thursday, where one of them asked about Schiff.
“There’s a report as a grand jury on Adam Schiff for apparent mortgage fraud,” the reporter said.
“Wow,” Trump deadpanned.
“If he is indicted, should he step down as a U.S. senator?” the reporter continued.
Here is the resulting exchange:
TRUMP: Well, you know, I’m not gonna comment on that. I will just say, Adam Schiff is one of the lowest forms of scum I’ve ever dealt with in politics. He’s a horrible human being, a very dishonest person. I have no idea what’s going on. You’re telling me he’s gonna be indicted. I don’t know. You could ask Pam. I don’t know if she could say it. Probably, you are allowed to say it, but I wouldn’t know about that. I can only tell you he’s a very– he’s a very bad, I think he’s actually a sick person.
[To Bondi] Do you wanna talk about that?
BONDI: We’re not going to comment on any grand jury that’s open. We can’t, legally.
TRUMP: I don’t know. By the way, I hope it’s true, but I don’t know anything about it.
Some in the room laughed as Trump moved on to the next reporter.
Earlier in the day, MSNBC reported that the U.S. Attorney in Maryland told the DOJ that she does not believe there is a basis for prosecuting Schiff.
