Report: It’s Revealed Who Adam Schiff Was Leaking Classified Info To

Newly declassified FBI interview records have reignited serious allegations that Senator Adam Schiff approved the leaking of classified information during the Trump and Russia investigation. The revelations have sparked renewed political debate in Washington, as the documents shed light on claims that had long circulated but were never substantiated publicly. According to reports from Just The News, the records include testimony from a whistleblower described as a Democratic intelligence officer who worked for the House Intelligence Committee. This individual told the FBI several times between 2017 and 2023 that Schiff authorized the release of sensitive information intended to politically damage then-President Donald Trump.

At the time of the alleged leaks, Adam Schiff served as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, later becoming its chairman when Democrats took control of the House. His role gave him access to highly classified materials related to the investigation into alleged connections between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. The whistleblower’s claims suggest that Schiff, rather than safeguarding that information, approved its release in a calculated effort to influence public perception and strengthen the “Russiagate” narrative.

The same whistleblower also named Representative Eric Swalwell as a possible direct source of the leaks. Swalwell, who served on the same committee, was said to have communicated with members of the media, providing them with classified or sensitive information that could be used against the Trump administration. One of the FBI summaries cited in the reports described a meeting in which Schiff allegedly told staffers that material portraying Trump in a negative light would be made public and used to push for legal or political consequences.

These claims have drawn strong reactions. Supporters of Schiff and Swalwell have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, pointing out that similar accusations have circulated for years without any formal charges or conclusive evidence. Swalwell himself has firmly denied any wrongdoing, stating that neither he nor Schiff leaked classified information. He also criticized those promoting the story, including Kash Patel, a former congressional investigator and later an official in the Trump administration, who has been accused by Democrats of spreading misinformation.

The whistleblower’s statements go beyond the alleged leaks. They claim that Schiff had been promised the position of CIA Director if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 presidential election. When Clinton lost, the whistleblower alleged, Schiff continued to pursue ways to undermine Trump’s presidency, seeing the Russia investigation as a tool to do so. According to the newly surfaced documents, the FBI was informed of these claims multiple times over several years, but it remains unclear how the Bureau handled the information or whether a full investigation was ever pursued.

The release of these declassified records has once again placed Schiff under public scrutiny. Critics argue that if the allegations are true, they represent a serious breach of trust and an abuse of access to classified information. Supporters, however, insist that the timing of the release and the nature of the source suggest political motives behind the renewed focus. Schiff has not directly addressed the latest reports, but his past statements emphasize that his actions during the Trump and Russia probe were always guided by his duty to oversee intelligence matters and protect national security.

Though the whistleblower claims to have reported these concerns to the FBI, the Justice Department reportedly showed little interest. They say they were later fired after alerting authorities—raising further questions about the government’s response to internal warnings.

Investigative journalist Paul Sperry added that leaks may have been routed to Washington Post reporter Ellen Nakashima, citing her ties to senior intelligence officials. Schiff’s office has yet to respond publicly. If substantiated, the allegations could carry major legal and political consequences, given Schiff’s current Senate role.
