On Wednesday, Rep. Adam Schiff spoke at the US Capitol in regards to a partial transcript released by the White House on Wednesday of President Donald Trump's phone call with a foreign leader—with whom he asked to investigate a political opponent. "It is shocking at another level that the White House would release these notes and felt that somehow this would help the president's case or cause because what those notes reflect is a classic mafia-like shakedown of a foreign leader," Schiff said, adding, "This is how a mafia boss talks."
