The resolution, sponsored by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, sought to censure Schiff, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee and a candidate for California’s open Senate seat, as well as fine him $16 million.

The motion was tabled in a 225-196 vote, with two Republicans and five Democrats voting present.
