Lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff alleged that President Trump attempted to threaten him by tweeting that the California Democrat should “pay the price.”

Schiff, 59, spent much of last week delivering 24 hours of arguments as to why House Democrats believe that Trump should be removed from office. Several of his arguments drew controversy, including his claim that Trump would have GOP senators’ heads “on a pike” if they voted to remove him from office, something every moderate Republican condemned as false.

On Sunday morning, Trump bashed Schiff for his handling of the impeachment process, tweeting, “Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”

During an interview on Meet the Press just after, Schiff addressed the tweet and claimed that it verified his “head on a pike” comment from his remarks last week. He said: “I made the argument that it’s going to require moral courage to stand up to this president. And this is a wrathful and vindictive president. I don’t think there’s any doubt about it, and if you think there is, look at the president’s tweets about me today.”

Host Chuck Todd replied, “You take that as a threat?”

Schiff answered, “I think it’s intended to be.”
