House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Republicans will remove Rep. Adam Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee if the party takes back the majority in November, accusing the California Democrat of exploiting his chairmanship for political gain.

McCarthy cited Schiff’s comments that reports on the Hunter Biden laptop contained Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election, noting that a recent New York Times report acknowledged that the contents on the laptop were legitimate.
