Disgraced former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has finally responded after President Trump blasted him for allegedly approving a plan to leak classified information in a scheme designed to politically destroy Trump.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that newly declassified FBI interview reports revealed a Democrat whistleblower’s claim that Schiff greenlit selective leaks of sensitive intelligence, leaks the whistleblower described as “unethical and possibly treasonous.”
These leaks, according to the whistleblower, were calculated to harm Trump’s presidency during the now-discredited Russia hoax.
According to recently declassified FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News, the whistleblower, who served Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI starting in 2017 that Schiff had approved targeted leaks of damaging intelligence against Trump.
In an all-staff meeting, Schiff allegedly declared that the group would leak classified information derogatory to President Trump and stated the leaks would be used to indict him.
The whistleblower reported he objected, calling the actions “unethical and possibly treasonous,” but was assured they’d “not be caught leaking classified information.”
The whistleblower claimed Schiff believed he was promised the position of CIA Director if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election.
President Trump wasted no time in tearing into Schiff on Wednesday:
“Just out, irrefutable proof that Adam Shifty Schiff “APPROVED PLAN TO LEAK CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO DAMAGE DONALD TRUMP.””
Schiff took to X with a snarky post aimed at Trump, hiding behind none other than deep state swamp creature and former Attorney General Bill Barr:
Sorry, Donald. Wrong again.
Even Barr’s Justice Department rejected that false smear years ago.
But while we are the subject of confidential information, how about releasing those Epstein files? We are still waiting…
