Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Tuesday that two top officials from the Justice Department and FBI told him that President Trump's order to declassify Russia-related documents was a "red line" that must not be crossed.
During an interview on CNN, Schiff, D-Calif., expounded upon a statement he released Monday, saying it was FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who issued a warning about national security.
"This is what the director of the FBI, the Republican appointed director of the FBI, Christopher Way, has told us in terms of this being a red line and it should be treated at the Gang of Eight level," Schiff said during an appearance on CNN, referring to the bipartisan group of congressional leaders who are briefed on intelligence matters.
"This is what the deputy attorney general appointed by the administration, Republican president, has told us," he added. "So this is the view of the intelligence community and law enforcement. And that ought to be respected."
