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

A Democratic whistleblower told the FBI that Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information in order to discredit President Donald Trump, according to newly-released documents.

The documents, which were obtained by Just The News, were recently handed over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel. 

The whistleblower reportedly worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over ten years, and reported Schiff's alleged behavior to the FBI in 2017.

According to the report, the intelligence staffer called the leaking "treasonous" and "illegal," in addition to being unethical. He was most recently interviewed by the FBI in 2023.

The staffer also said that he personally attended a meeting where Schiff greenlit the leak.

"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the documents state, per Just The News. 

"In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP."

"[The whistleblower] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information," the report added.

John Solomon, who co-authored the piece with Just The News' Jerry Dunleavy, appeared on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" to discuss the report.

"This is the first of several major leak investigations we're going to see over the next several days," Solomon said. "You're going to see other major people that were clearly identified by the FBI, having leaked classified secrets."

"Their own staff turned them in when interviewed by the FBI. Nothing, again, happened," he added. "It's a common pattern. The question now is, in Donald Trump's Justice Department, does that dynamic change?"

Soon after the report was published, Patel shared it on X, saying that the FBI "found it [and] declassified it."

"Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives - and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people," Patel's post read.

Mother of slain congressional intern praises Trump's Washington, DC crime crackdown

A grieving mother is commending President Donald Trump for his mission to make Washington, D.C. safe again after losing her 21-year-old son, who was killed in a senseless shooting.

President Donald Trump on Monday announced plans to take control of public safety in Washington, D.C. and is activating the District of Columbia National Guard and seizing control of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym, whose son Eric was a congressional intern who was killed in a D.C. drive-by shooting in June, says the president is "spot on" in his remarks on making the city safe again. 

TRUMP TAKES CONTROL OF METRO POLICE, DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO TAKE ON WASHINGTON CRIME 

"When I heard the news today, and he mentioned my son, not by name, and mentioned the others who have been victims of violent crime, I was so happy and I said, I looked at Eric's ashes, and I said ‘Eric, you haven't died in vain.’ Things will change so other people are safe when they go visit DC or work in DC and that's my goal, to make people safe," she told "The Story" on Monday. 

Tamara says she heard there were surveillance cameras from the scene, but they are all grainy and told Fox News that even cabbies were afraid when she was in DC to identify her son’s body, saying the area was dangerous at night. 

No arrests have been made in Eric Tarpinian-Jachym's killing. President Donald Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump were "heartbroken" for the family in a letter sent to Eric’s parents in July. 

"While we may never fully understand the impact that Eric has had during his meaningful life, we know he will be remembered for his kindness, faithfulness, and devotion to your family and his many friends," Trump wrote in the letter. "He will also be remembered for his commitment to our country. I know how proud Congressman Estes was to have Eric represent his office, the people of Kansas' Fourth Congressional District, and our Nation." 

Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym said she still has many unanswered questions about Eric's death.

"I know nothing. I know about what's happening," she lamented. "I don't know exactly how many bullets hit my son. All I know is from what the death certificate says, several bullet wounds. I don't know where he was hit, but I have an idea. I know nothing and maybe that's for the better, so they can catch this person or these persons. I am praying it will happen." 

The grieving mother expressed satisfaction in the work of Judge Jeanine Pirro, the new U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on the case, expressing a desire to find the perpetrator so the person pays the price for their crime

"She doesn't pull punches. She's for victims and I respect that woman and I respected what she told me, ‘It's going to take a long time, Mrs. Jachym. We're going to do our dual diligence’ and I believe her. She is for victims," Tamara said. 

Tamara said people should be able to walk around the city and not be fearful of being shot at, mugged or raped. 

"The interns are from other parts of the country. They didn't know how dangerous D.C. was. It was like a well-kept secret, if you want my honest opinion."
