A newly declassified FBI 302 interview report alleges that an unidentified Democrat whistleblower informed federal investigators that then-Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) approved the leaking of classified information in an effort to damage President Donald Trump.

The documents, obtained by Just The News, have been made public following declassification.

According to the report, the whistleblower was employed in Schiff’s office at the time of the alleged incident.

The FBI 302 forms, which summarize investigative interviews, indicate the whistleblower claimed Schiff authorized the release of classified material for political purposes.

Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman told Just The News that only the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has the authority to make decisions on pursuing a criminal case related to these allegations.

That position is currently held by Jeanine Pirro.

Speaking to commentator Benny Johnson on Tuesday, Pirro declined to comment on whether an investigation is underway but emphasized that she does not discuss active or potential cases publicly.

“You know what, Benny? I think you know that this is my wheelhouse,” Pirro said.

“The difference between me and some other people is that I don’t talk about what I’m investigating. I don’t talk about what I’m doing. When I have the evidence, when I have enough to go forward, you will hear from me loud and clear.”

During the interview, Johnson referenced the declassified FBI report, noting that it had been made public by FBI Director Kash Patel and transmitted to Congress.

Johnson asked whether Pirro was aware of the allegations against Schiff and if she planned to investigate them.

Pirro reiterated her position that she would not confirm or deny investigative actions until there was sufficient evidence to proceed.

The FBI documents have circulated on Capitol Hill and are now available for public review.

They outline the whistleblower’s account of Schiff’s alleged approval of the classified information leak. The specific classified material in question has not been publicly detailed.

The disclosure adds to ongoing scrutiny of Schiff, who served as the lead House impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment trial and was a central figure in congressional investigations into alleged ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Schiff, now serving as a U.S. Senator from California, has not publicly commented on the declassified FBI report.

The Justice Department has not issued a statement regarding the whistleblower’s claims or confirmed whether a criminal investigation is active.

The allegations come at a time when questions about the handling of classified information by members of Congress have drawn bipartisan attention.

Under federal law, the unauthorized disclosure of classified information can carry significant criminal penalties.

If substantiated, the claims could lead to charges under statutes governing the protection of national security information.

Pirro stated that when her office has gathered enough evidence to move forward, she will make a public announcement.

Until then, she said, her policy is to refrain from discussing ongoing investigative matters.

The matter remains pending, with further developments expected as the Justice Department reviews the information contained in the declassified FBI reports.
