Adam Schiff (CA-30 - D)

Compare

Adam Schiff used his cool intellect, media savvy, and ability to master details as he took on Donald Trump while also overseeing the government’s top secret activities on the Intelligence panel. Previously known as a mild-mannered, moderate lawmaker with nuanced views on policy matters and politics, Schiff wasn’t afraid to mix it up with Trump and his allies. After Harvard, Schiff worked as a prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles, where he claims he never lost a case.
