Adam Schiff has faced accusations of classified document leaks for years

Fox News Digital has uncovered new information regarding longtime Trump political foe Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff. The California lawmaker has been accused of leaking classified documents for years, with recent allegations claiming he approved leaking classified information in order to discredit the president during the Russiagate probe.

FBI Director Kash Patel declassified claims from a Democrat whistleblower, stating that Schiff approved the release of classified information on Trump to potentially indict him. The whistleblower, who had worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over a decade, made these claims to the FBI in 2017.

Schiff, who served on the House Intelligence Committee and as its chair from 2019 to 2023, denied the allegations, calling them “absolutely and categorically false.” However, this is not the first time Schiff has been accused of leaking classified information. Accusations have followed him since the first Trump administration.

Former officials like Ric Grenell and Mike Pompeo have also accused Schiff of leaking classified documents. Grenell listed instances where Schiff allegedly leaked classified information, while Pompeo claimed Schiff leaked information provided to him. Schiff’s office has refuted these claims, calling them “patently false and defamatory.”

Amid the Russian collusion claims and the first impeachment trial against Trump, Schiff and Trump have been political adversaries. Schiff was censured by the House in 2023 over his promotion of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. He also faced allegations of mortgage fraud earlier this year, with the Federal Housing Finance Agency sending a letter to the DOJ regarding falsified bank documents.

Despite these controversies, Schiff has maintained his innocence and continues to serve as a senator, representing California. The White House has called for him to be held accountable for his actions, while Schiff’s legal defense fund has been established to combat these accusations.
