Prosecutors sought records on a dozen people connected to two lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff, to hunt those who leaked classified information.
Former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department reportedly seized records on a dozen people connected to two House Intelligence Committee Democrats in an effort to find out who leaked classified information about Trump’s relationship with Russia to reporters. The DOJ’s prosecutors subpoenaed Apple and one another internet service provider in 2017 and 2018 for data from the accounts of the Democrats, their aides and family members ― one of whom was a minor, according to a New York Times report published Thursday. One of the lawmakers identified in the report is Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), who served as the House committee’s top Democrat at the time of the subpoenas and is currently its chairman. The other Democrat was not identified, but had also been a member of the committee, the Times reported, citing committee officials and two others briefed on the inquiry.
