Did Donald Trump ‘bribe’ a foreign power – Ukraine - to try to discredit a political rival ahead of next year’s US Presidential race ?

On Profile this week, we’re looking at Adam Schiff - the man tasked with finding out.

A leading Democrat Congressman and former lawyer, Schiff chairs the House Intelligence Committee and is leading the impeachment investigation.

President Trump calls him biased…a “pencil neck, low life” who’s conducting a “hoax witch-hunt”.

Mark Coles talks to Schiff’s close friends, critics and former colleagues to find out what he’s really like…and why – before getting into politics - he wanted to be a Hollywood movie writer.
