All right, did you hear about this? A Democrat whistleblower has told the FBI that then Congressman Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information in order to discredit President Trump, and the White House is giving its first reaction.

The president has already said he wants to see Adam Schiff held accountable for the countless lies he told the American people in relation to the Russiagate scandal. I have a quote from the FBI director. For years, certain officials used their positions to selectively leak classified information

0:28

to shape political narratives. It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge with our partners at DOJ and Congress.

0:43

Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks joins me now to react. Congresswoman, good morning to you. If true, how serious of an offense is this and what can be done?

0:53

Well, it certainly is very serious and Shifty Adam Schiff has, you know, justified his name that he was given leaking classified information, as you know, is a serious offense and it will be up to the oversight committee, Judiciary Committee in order to handle this. But this is a very serious allegation. I've asked for Senator Schiff to resign.

1:18

You should resign immediately.

1:20

Well, a Democrat staffer is the whistleblower. He was a Democrat staffer on the House Intel Committee for 12 years. And on top of claiming that Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information, this person also said ranking member Schiff was particularly upset as he had believed he would have been appointed as the director of the CIA had candidate Hillary Clinton won the election. What do you make of those details?

1:47

Well, remember that we were upset with Adam Schiff being put on Intel and kept on Intel. We thought he should have left Intel, been off of Intel when this was suspected earlier before, when also suspected that he was lying about classifying information. So this is a serious charge. He needs to be held accountable. But people need to call for his resignation. And I think members of Congress at least on the Republican side are asking for him to

2:14

step down. How will the investigation into this play out.

2:18

I think what you'll see is even though we are on our August work period in our districts, you'll start to see that judiciary and the oversight committee will start making proposals that he be brought in to give testimony in front of the House to be a witness. They'll start investigations and there may issue subpoenas. They may wait until we're back in, but those plans are ongoing now.

2:47

OK, well, a spokesperson for Adam Schiff responded to Fox News Digital, saying Cash Battelle's latest smear against Senator Schiff is absolutely and categorically false and is just the latest in a series of defamatory

2:59

attacks from the president and his allies meant to distract from their plummeting poll numbers and the Epstein file scandal. These baseless smears are based on allegations that were found to be not reliable, not credible, and unsubstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the House Intelligence Committee for cause in early 2017. Your reaction to that statement from the shift camp.

3:27

Again, he's living up to his name. He's trying to deflect blame and attention from him and from his actions. This was already, people already suspected him of both lying about classified information and leaking classified information.

3:42

You now have a whistleblower. We didn't have to change the whistleblower law like they did with President Trump and the Russian collusion hoax, but these are serious allegations and he will be held accountable.

3:53

All right. There's also this that we wanna ask you about, ending on some positive news here. The US military is seeing a significant spike in female military recruits across all service branches. This year there have been nearly 24,000 female recruits,

4:06

which is up from just 17,000 a year earlier. Perfect topic for you, Congresswoman, as you served in our great military as well. So what's your reaction to this?

4:16

You know, I'm delighted. As a 24-year Army veteran, I think that this shows that there is both support and belief in our Commander in chief. You know, we had service members whose PTSD worsened, mental health worsened with the disastrous incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan, the bending over backwards to appease Iran.

4:37

We know that there are two wars ongoing and chaos around the world because of the weakness of the Biden administration and the appeasement of thugs, both the war in Ukraine and the invasion of Israel by Hamas. So I think, you know, we have a series of events right now where we have a commander in chief who is showing that he supports the military, that the military is going to do its job. It's not going to be woke policies.

5:04

It's not going to be woke policies, it's not going to be D I it is a military of merit which knows what its mission is in the world and I think that you know people who go into the military gravitate towards that so as you know, our enrollment numbers recruitment numbers were way down especially the army and Marines and so as an army veteran to see those

5:23

numbers come up especially especially among females, I think is extraordinarily encouraging.

5:28

Yeah, well, we thank you so much for your service in the military and for your service in Congress that is still ongoing. Iowa Congresswoman Marionette Miller-Meeks, Iowa Congresswoman Marionette Miller-Meeks, we thank you very much for joining us this morning.
