House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) blocked the National Security Council staffer who testified to some members of Congress on Oct. 29 from answering some questions asked by Republican representatives, GOP members alleged.<\/p>\n

Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified behind closed doors<\/a> to Schiff and other members of Congress.<\/p>\n

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said at a press conference that Schiff wouldnt allow Vindman to answer some questions from Republicans during the impeachment hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we asked who he spoke to after important events in July\u2014Adam Schiff says, no, no, no, were not going to let him answer that question,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam Schiff, among many things, has been trying to claim that this is a fair process by saying that Republicans are allowed to ask questions,\u201d Scalise added.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow he gets to choose all the witnesses, and him and himself only, which means its not a fair process on the face. But even his claim now, that Republicans can ask questions, has been undermined because now hes directing witnesses not to answer questions that he doesnt want the witness to answer if theyre asked by Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHes not cut off one Democrat, hes not interrupted one Democrat and told a witness not to answer Democrat members questions, but today he started telling the witness not to answer questions by certain Republicans. That reeks,\u201d Scalise said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts clear Pelosi needs to declare a mistrial. This has been a tainted process from the start. What happened today confirms even worse just how poorly Adam Schiff is handling this process, denying the ability for Republicans to even ask basic questions that are critical to the heart of whether or not a President of the United States is impeached.\u201d<\/p>\n
