Warns Adam Schiff has 'not paid the price, yet' during Senate impeachment trial

One day before his defense team was to present its main impeachment case, Trump tweeted that lead House impeachment manager Adam Schiff is a 'CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man' who 'has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!' The Washington Post described the message as an apparent veiled threat. Asked on NBC's 'Meet the Press' whether he took it as threatening, Schiff said it was 'intended to be' and called Trump 'a wrathful and vindictive President.' The tweet came as Schiff had referenced reports that Republican senators were told their heads would be put 'on a pike' if they broke with Trump.
