A Western New York man was arrested Wednesday on charges that he threatened to kill Rep. Adam Schiff and Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Lippa started the threatening message by calling the congressman"Schiff, Shifty Schiff," invoking the nickname used by President Donald Trump for Schiff, the lead House manager during Trump's impeachment trial. In the threat, Lippa paired Schumer with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying"Hey, Schumer, you and Nancy Pelosi are..." according to the complaint.
When questioned by U.S Capitol Police, Lippa admitted to making the threatening calls to Schiff and Schumer because he said he was upset about the impeachment proceedings, prosecutors said.
