John — This is Adam Schiff.

I wanted to bring you up to speed about one of Trump’s latest demands that I be punished for impeaching him and serving on the January 6th Committee.

Trump publicly pressured his former personal attorney and now-Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to punish his political enemies, including me.

He said that I was “guilty as hell,” that the Department of Justice “can’t delay any longer,” and that “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

I need you to stand with me right now. Trump is ramping up his public threats to abuse the justice system to punish me for my work to hold him accountable. Split a donation between me and No Dem Left Behind today:

This public pressure campaign to punish his enemies does not happen in a vacuum.

First, Donald Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Virginia. And Trump was explicit about why he was firing him.

It was because this U.S. Attorney resisted efforts by Trump and his Department of Justice to charge New York Attorney General Letitia James with the crimes that Trump already said she was “guilty” of, but for which there was no evidence. The implication is clear: if prosecutors don’t go after me and the president’s other enemies with meritless cases, they too will be fired.

This is the biggest attack on the rule of law and independent justice since Watergate.

After Nixon’s abuses of the Justice Department during Watergate, a wall was erected between the White House and Department of Justice to try and prevent a president from surreptitiously ordering the prosecution of his enemies.

Now the wall is obliterated — and all of the corruption and weaponization is out in the open.

Trump won’t stop his attacks on me, and this will only get more dangerous. That’s why I need your support right now:

Can you rush $10 or more to me and No Dem Left Behind right now to help me fight back against these lies, misinformation and attacks that are designed to intimidate me into silence?
