Impeachment ringleader Congressman Adam Schiff referred to Dr. Bruce Hensel as a ‘friend’

A California doctor who served as a local NBC News correspondent was arrested Wednesday morning after an investigation found he attempted to solicit sexual texts from a 9-year-old girl.

Dr. Bruce Hensel, 71, is accused of exchanging inappropriate messages with and requesting sexually suggestive photos from the girl, who was reportedly an acquaintance’s daughter.

CBS Los Angeles reports the incident happened in August, and that the LAPD served a search warrant on Hensel’s home last month.

A neighbor of Hensel’s interviewed by CBS LA claimed she heard the doctor would frequently vacation in Thailand, a south-Asia-Pacific nation known for a high rate of human and child sex trafficking.

“If convicted as charged, Hensel faces a possible maximum sentence of 18 months in state prison,” reports CBS News.

In addition to serving as a KNBC Los Angeles medical correspondent for nearly 20 years, Hensel was also “friends” with Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who’s taken center stage as the impeachment case against President Trump unfolds.

In a video surfacing on social media, Schiff introduces Hensel as his “friend” at an event.
