President Donald Trump baselessly accused Rep. Adam Schiff of leaking to CNN on Sunday.
Trump’s accusation, framed with a question mark at the end, came on a busy day of tweeting for the president.
At one point, Trump seemed to blame Democrats in some way for his lackluster North Korean summit, writing: “For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the ‘walk.’ Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!”
Then, in response to a tweet by conservative journalist and member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board Kimberley Strassel, he slammed Democrats and Sen. Chuck Schumer for “hurting” the country.
Finally, Trump commented on a second Strassel tweet suggesting Schiff seems to be doing a lot of “freelancing” by writing: “And also illegally leaking to Fake News CNN & others?”
On Sunday, Schiff — a frequent Trump adversary — said on
It is unclear what exactly, though, prompted Trump’s tweet, however, the president has made similar claims before.
Back in February 2018, Trump tweeted this:
Schiff replied back then by telling Trump to turn off his TV.
