(CNN) The nine Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have signed a letter calling on House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff to resign as chairman, Rep. Mike Conaway, the Republican who led the panel's Russia investigation, said Thursday. Conaway pointed to the release of the special counsel's summary on Sunday to accuse Schiff, a California Democrat, of having "abused your position to knowingly promote false information." "Your actions both past and present are incompatible with your duty as chairman," Conaway said at the beginning of a public committee hearing on Russian money laundering, reading from the letter . "We have no faith in your ability to discharge duties." President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday morning that Schiff should resign from Congress.
