McCarthy formally kicks Schiff, Swalwell off Intelligence Committee
"House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday formally removed Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee.
Why it matters: It's a controversial move opposed even by some of McCarthy's caucus members and a stark escalation of an ongoing tit-for-tat with Democrats over committee assignments.
McCarthy vowed revenge after Democrats and a handful of Republicans voted to remove Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) from their committees in 2021.
McCarthy's move comes despite opposition from some House Republicans.
Driving the news: McCarthy announced the move in response to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) letter over the weekend pressing for Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the panel, and Swalwell to be kept in their seats."
