President Donald Trump took to Twitter in a series of tweets between Saturday and Sunday slamming House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for allegedly “leaking classified information” to the “fake news media”.
The Commander in Chief also suggested “calling Bob Mueller & the 13 Angry Democrats to do a new Mueller Report, Democrat Edition”, on Bernie Sanders amid claims of Russia trying to help the Vermont Senator’s presidential campaign.
President Trump had tweeted on Saturday: “Democrats in the Great State of Nevada (Which, because of the Economy, Jobs, the Military & Vets, I will win in November), be careful of Russia, Russia, Russia. According to Corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff, they are pushing for Crazy Bernie Sanders to win. Vote!”
Responding to the president’s tweet, Rep. Adam Schiff wrote back on Twitter Saturday: “Mr. President, I didn’t say that. But if you wish to quote me, quote this: ‘The only thing Americans despise more than foreign actors trying to affect the vote is a president unwilling to do anything to stop it.’ Americans decide American elections.”
On Sunday, President Trump slammed the California congressman again on Twitter for “leaking classified information”, amid his trip to India.
“Somebody please tell incompetent (thanks for my high poll numbers) & corrupt politician Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff to stop leaking Classified information or, even worse, made up information, to the Fake News Media. Someday he will be caught, & that will be a very unpleasant experience!” the president warned Schiff. (Continued Below)
One day after The New Times released a report, which alleged that intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to help President Trump get re-elected, The Washington Post reported on Friday that Russia is trying to help Socialist Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
Regarding Bernie Sanders, President Trump wondered if Rober Mueller will be starting a Democrat edition investigation.
“Are any Democrat operatives, the DNC, or Crooked Hillary Clinton, blaming Russia, Russia, Russia for the Bernie Sanders win in Nevada? If so, I suggest calling Bob Mueller & the 13 Angry Democrats to do a new Mueller Report, Democrat Edition. Bob will get to the bottom of it!” the president wrote Sunday on Twitter. (Video Below)
President Trump also spoke with reporters before heading to India, responding to Rep. Adam Schiff “leaking” and over the “Russia claims”:

In addition, President Trump responded to a tweet from CBS’ Catherine Herridge who noted that lawmakers were pressed for evidence to back up claims of Russia trying to help President Trump in 2020.
President Trump said it was “just another Shifty Schiff leak”.

We leave you Adam Schiff, who on Sunday, tried to claim that President Trump “betrayed America again”.
Nice deflection, Mr. President. But your false claims fool no one.
You welcomed Russian help in 2016, tried to coerce Ukraine’s help in 2019, and won’t protect our elections in 2020.
Now you fired your intel chief for briefing Congress about it.
You’ve betrayed America. Again. https://t.co/WlMDaz8stF
