Mr Miller said “after failing miserably with two impeachment hoaxes”, Mr Swalwell is engaging in a witch hunt on behalf of China. “It’s a disgrace that a compromised member of Congress like Swalwell still sits on the House Intelligence Committee,” Mr Miller said. Mr Guiliani, Mr Trump’s campaign and others also face defamation claims related to their groundless post-election criticism of a former US election cyber security official and vote counting machine maker. Mr Trump was acquitted last month in his second impeachment trial as 57 senators – seven Republicans and all 50 Democrats – voted to convict him of inciting the mob. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted for acquittal but said afterward that there was “no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible”.
