Schiff calls Mike Pompeo ‘failed Trump lackey’ after classified records claim

Democratic congressman pushes back after former CIA chief and secretary of state accuses him of leaking classified information

Mike Pompeo is a “failed lackey of the Trump administration”, a spokesperson for Adam Schiff said on Wednesday, after the former CIA director and secretary of state accused the Democratic congressman of leaking classified information.

“This is another patently false and defamatory statement from Mike Pompeo,” the spokesperson told the Hill. “While we understand that Adam Schiff is a favorite target for the failed lackeys of the Trump administration running for president, reputable news outlets shouldn’t repeat these falsehoods.”
