Sen. Adam Schiff’s colleagues in Congress are helping out his legal defense against a Trump administration investigation in a big way.

Democratic Sens. Chris Murphy and Chris Van Hollen each made maxed-out $10,000 contributions through their leadership political action committees to Schiff’s legal defense fund, which he formed in August.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the former House speaker, also contributed $10,000 through PAC to the Future, her leadership PAC, according to Federal Election Commission spending records.
