The whistleblower worked for the House Intelligence Committee for over ten years. He reported his concerns to the FBI in 2017. According to the newly released documents, Schiff allegedly encouraged staff to leak damaging information. Just The News obtained these documents and confirmed they were sent to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel. The files include direct testimony from the whistleblower. He called the leaks “illegal,” “unethical,” and even “treasonous.”
During an all-staff meeting, Schiff allegedly told staffers to leak details about President Trump. The whistleblower claims he was present at this meeting. He recalled Schiff stating that the information would be used to indict Trump. Despite the objection, unnamed colleagues reassured him they wouldn’t be caught. The whistleblower said the meeting made him uncomfortable. He later contacted the FBI to report the situation.
The FBI reportedly interviewed him again in 2023. These interviews confirmed the consistency of his account. While he remains anonymous, he played a key role in the Intelligence Committee for years. Journalist John Solomon discussed the case. He co-authored the report for Just The News. Solomon believes this could be the first of several investigations.
“You’re going to see other names come out,” Solomon said. “FBI records show more people leaked classified secrets.” According to Solomon, some staffers reported their own supervisors. However, few consequences followed. “Nothing happened,” Solomon said. “Now the question is whether Trump’s Justice Department will change that pattern.”
Although Schiff has not publicly responded, critics demand answers. They argue that leaking classified information for political gain undermines national security. Many also question why the FBI waited years to act. Leaking classified information carries serious legal consequences. Yet political figures often escape accountability. The public is now watching closely. Congress may push for hearings or further legal steps. As the investigation unfolds, leaking classified information may dominate headlines for weeks to come.
