Former spy chief Richard Grenell accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and his team of leaking classified intelligence.
In a tweet posted on Thursday, reacting to the California Democrat's charges that he politicized the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Grenell also claimed that Schiff refused to cooperate with his office on reforms for the U.S. intelligence community.
"Schiff & team regularly leaked classified information," Grenell said in a list of "facts." He also said, "Schiff wouldn’t return my call to coordinate on DNI reforms," adding: "The reforms were asked for by career officials for years."
In addition, Grenell noted that Schiff "complained" when he appointed the first female head of counterterrorism, referring to his selection of Lora Shiao, a longtime counterterrorism intelligence veteran, to be the National Counterterrorism Center’s next deputy director. Grenell also stressed that she was a "career person."
