MSNBC's Kasie Hunt said Thursday that President Donald Trump's public attacks on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) show that the congressman's plans for investigations are "getting under the president's skin."
Host Andrea Mitchell said the new Democratic committee leadership would probably cause Trump more than a little heartburn, as former chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) "did not issue any subpoenas", a move many believe was to protect the president. "That's why Adam Schiff is being attacked by the president," she added.
"Indeed it is, Andrea," replied Hunt, adding that the president sees Schiff on the television all the time. "We do know that Adam Schiff is going to expand to a certain extent the scope of what that committee is even looking at, and so that clearly has gotten under the president's skin." Hunt went on to indicate that Trump's response proved the president was rattled.
"If he's not bothered by what you're doing, he's not going to bother to attack you," she said. "Clearly Schiff is just the latest target here."
