Democratic whistleblower told FBI that Adam Schiff approved classified leaks to target Trump

A Democratic whistleblower alleges Adam Schiff authorized classified leaks to politically damage Trump during Russiagate, with DOJ declining to prosecute due to expired statute of limitations.

  • Amid new disclosures, FBI Director Kash Patel declassified memos revealing that a whistleblower alleged in 2017 that a Democratic staffer claimed Adam Schiff authorized leaks to undermine President Donald Trump.
  • Within Congress, staffers raised concerns after the whistleblower, a Democratic intelligence staffer, described the leaks as “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous,” but DOJ officials cited legislative immunity.
  • Within 24 hours of Schiff's statements, leaks appeared almost verbatim in the news, and a whistleblower claimed to have objected but was assured they wouldn’t be caught.
  • FBI Director Patel said the allegations fall outside the statute of limitations, shielding Senator Adam Schiff from prosecution, while Congress can still pursue accountability.
  • More probes have begun, with the FBI investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey, while Swalwell is cited as a likely leak source.
