Schiff calls Trump's loyalty conversation with Comey "highly unethical"
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, called a conversation in which President Trump asked FBI Director James Comey to pledge his loyalty to him "highly unethical."
"The fact that they had a private conversation in which the president, by his own admission, was discussing the future of Director Comey in that job and the president brings up whether he's under investigation? Highly unethical. At a minimum unethical," Schiff said Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation." "If he was then trying to impede the investigation in any way, maybe beyond unethical. But deeply disturbing. Again, a threat to our system of checks and balances."
