During his tour of the morning shows, Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was asked on CBS “This Morning” about an emerging piece of news: Moments earlier, Vladimir Putin had said he would be willing to provide the U.S. Congress a record of President Trump’s meeting with top Russian envoys, possibly offering new details on the disclosures of highly classified intelligence information.

As The Post’s Andrew Roth reported from Moscow:

The remarkable offer for the Kremlin to share evidence with U.S. oversight committees came with the caveat that the request for the transcript would have to come from the Trump administration.

“Probably the last person the president needs to vouch for him right now is Vladimir Putin,” Schiff said on CBS.

He then suggested that whatever details the Kremlin might provide would probably be worthless. “Sure, send it our way,” he said. “But its credibility would be less than zero.”

As Roth reported:

The Kremlin has denied reports that Trump shared classified secrets last week with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russia’s ambassador to the United States during an Oval Office meeting. But the full extent of Trump’s comments to the Russian envoys has not been made public.As reported first by The Washington Post, Trump in a meeting with Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak shared classified information about an Islamic State plot to smuggle a bomb disguised as a laptop aboard a passenger plane. Subsequent reports have suggested the intelligence was provided by the Israeli government, and was so sensitive that it was not shared even with the United States’ closest allies.

Earlier, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Schiff said it was not quite time for impeachment.

“The country would have to have come to the point where they think the president’s conduct is so disqualifying he can be removed from office,” he said. “I don’t think we should rush to that conclusion.”

But it was time to start asking questions, he said.

“What did the president intend to do? And did he have an improper purpose?”

A reminder that the process of impeachment starts in the House of Representatives and then, if successful there, moves to the Senate. Both chambers of Congress are currently under Republican control.
