Adam Schiff Federalist FACT CHECK BY NEWSWEEK ...

The Claim

One piece of evidence in the investigation—a text message sent by an unspecified "lawmaker," later revealed to be GOP Representative Jim Jordan—has come under scrutiny after several Republicans accused Schiff of "misrepresenting" its content.

Since then, several conservative politicians and outlets have attacked the chairman and the committee for supposedly misquoting the original text, with The Federalist appearing to inadvertently out Jordan as the sender.

Mostly False.

It's true that committee staff cut short Jordan's original forwarded message for the sake of brevity and that a period was mistakenly added in place of an em dash. The committee has admitted to both. But there is no evidence that the changes were made in order for Schiff to mislead fellow committee members, nor do they alter or distort the meaning of the message. The claims of evidence tampering by Schiff are misleading because the committee said that the graphic was shared with him in that form. It has since shared the full text, which is stored in the committee's evidence trove in its original form.
