House Judiciary Chair Jordan blasts ex-FBI Director Wray for keeping Schiff intel leak from Congress

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Tuesday blasted former FBI Director Christopher Wray for not going to Congress after a whistleblower had provided information about how then-Rep. Adam Schiff approved the leaking of classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump in 2017.

"The real takeaway here is that a whistleblower says Adam Schiff told him to leak information," Jordan said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "We didn't get this information from Chris Wray. We got it from Kash Patel, who was actually trying to get the truth out to the American people. For some reason, this was never given to us by Director Wray. So I think those two are kind of the key facts. Schiff told him to leak. It happened. There was a whistleblower who came forward, and Chris Ray kept it from us."

An intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that Schiff approved leaking classified information to smear Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to an FBI memo first reported on by Just the News.

The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state that the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California U.S. senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and “treasonous,” but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

Jordan said that there are questions that need to be answered about Wray and his alleged involvement in the situation, as the whistleblower brought the information to the FBI on four different occasions.  

"The fact that Chris Wray had this, because I believe the date on the 302, if I'm remembering correctly, is from 2023 during the Biden administration, during the Garland Justice Department...[when] Chris Ray [was] FBI director when this all took place, and yet we're now not finding out about it until August of 2025 two years later?" he asked. "That in and of itself is a problem."
