Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) of leaking classified information during his time on the House Intelligence Committee, which he was recently just removed from by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif).
During an interview with Fox News, Pompeo suggested that Schiff's tenure “almost ruined the committee” as Intel chairman and “didn’t feel comfortable” working with the Schiff-led panel.
>>“Adam Schiff lied to the American people, and during my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him,” Pompeo said, despite not coming forth with any explanation as to what the allegedly-leaked information may be.
>>However, Pompeo defended himself as to why he never took action against Schiff, saying that “it’s a complicated process,” and that “it’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened.”
In response, Schiff’s team called out Pompeo’s “false and defamatory” comments.
