A whistleblower told the FBI that Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), then a House member, approved the leak of information intended to hurt President Donald Trump.
The FBI 302 interview reports, obtained by Just the News, state that the whistleblower, who considered himself a friend to Schiff and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, viewed the leaking as “unethical” and “treasonous.”
“When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer’s name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF,” the interview report reads. “In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”
“[Redacted] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured [redacted] that they would not be caught leaking classified information,” the report says.
At the time, DOJ officials declined to pursue an investigation into the matter. “[Redacted] was eventually informed that the issue would not be investigated further by the DOJ, as Congressmen have immunity to all speech and actions made on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives,” the report reads. “[Redacted] did not believe that the activity he witnessed would be protected by this legal provision.”
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the documents. “We found it. We declassified it,” he wrote on X. “Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives – and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people.”
Schiff has also been accused of falsifying mortgage documents.
Last month, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a report flipping the narrative of the alleged Russia-Trump collusion. According to the report, originally created in 2020, “The judgment that Putin developed a ‘clear preference’ for candidate Trump and ‘aspired to help his chances of victory’ did not adhere to the tenets of the ICD (Intelligence Community Directive) analytical standards.”
