The Hill reported that President Trump accused House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff of leaking information that Russia has sought to interfere with the Democratic primary to help Sen. Bernie Sanders’s campaign.

“Nobody said it to me at all,” Trump told reporters Sunday, about the reported Russian interference. “They ought to investigate Adam Schiff for leaking that intelligence.”

Schiff denied President Trump’s accusations in a tweet, telling the president “Americans decide American elections.”

An Intelligence Committee official also told The Hill that Trump’s accusations are categorically false.

“The Chairman does not comment on the substance classified briefings, and the President is trying to divert attention from his blatant firing of the acting DNI for briefing Congress,” the official said.
