Morgan Ortagus Grills Schiff Over Steele Dossier: You ‘Spread Disinformation Yourself For Years’
Former State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus grilled Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) during Tuesday’s episode of “The View” on ABC over Schiff’s past promotion of the now widely discredited Steele Dossier.
“You’ve been really prolific over the past few years being the head of the Intel Committee and you defended, promoted, you even read into the Congressional Record the Steele Dossier,” Ortagus said. “And we know last week, the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier.”
“Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?” she asked.
Schiff immediately deflected by attacking former President Donald Trump, despite not being asked about Trump, and by continuing to promote conspiracy theories related to Russia.
“But you’ve made false, spread disinformation yourself for years by promoting this,” Ortagus said. “I think that’s what Republicans and what people who entrusted you as the Intel Committee chair are so confused about your culpability in all this.”
