The Republican chairman duo have for months lobbied the DOJ for information on a range of supposed abuses that took place within the department, including a GOP-led call for more information on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Page’s surveillance was the subject of a much-hyped House Intelligence Committee memo earlier this year that omitted evidence suggesting the former Trump campaign advisor has been suspected of acting as a Russian foreign agent since at least 2014.

As the president prepared to leave the White House for India, he told reporters that Schiff was to blame for the leaked meeting story, with the president insisting he personally had not been briefed on the report explosive report.

Responding to a 'Meet the Press" clip of the president making his accusation, Schiff tweeted back: "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.
