Newly declassified records allege that Senator Adam Schiff, while serving as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, authorized the leaking of classified information during the Trump\u2013Russia investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A whistleblower, a former Democratic staffer with extensive experience on the committee, claims that Schiff led staff meetings encouraging leaks to target President Trump. The whistleblower also stated that there was a system of organized leaking within the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rep. Eric Swalwell was named as another frequent source of leaks. Despite the allegations, no investigation was launched at the time due to constitutional protections under the Speech or Debate Clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schiff, who was censured by House Republicans in 2023, now faces a separate grand jury probe into alleged financial misconduct. The FBI has also been investigating former intelligence officials regarding actions taken during the Trump\u2013Russia probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The revelations have intensified political tensions and raised questions about the handling of classified information during the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
