Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, accused Republicans on Sunday of hypocrisy in assessing the mishandling of classified documents by President Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Mr. Schiff said requests for information from Republicans like House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky “are completely hypocritical when you consider what he said about the Mar-a-Lago situation.
