A spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., acknowledged Wednesday that the whistleblower alleging misconduct in the White House had reached out to Schiff's panel before filing a complaint -- prompting President Trump, in an extraordinary afternoon press conference at the White House, to directly accuse Schiff of helping write the document.
"It shows that Schiff is a fraud. ... I think it's a scandal that he knew before," Trump said, as the president of Finland stood at an adjacent podium. "I'd go a step further. I'd say he probably helped write it. ... That's a big story. He knew long before, and he helped write it too. It's a scam."
Referring to Schiff -- who has long claimed to have surefire evidence that Trump illegally conspired with Russians -- as "Shifty Schiff," Trump characterized Democrats' impeachment inquiry as a "fraudulent crime on the American people."
Earlier in the day, Trump described the probe as "BULLS---," and mocked Schiff as a partisan "lowlife." Trump specifically derided Schiff for reciting an inaccurate, exaggerated version of a transcript of Trump's fateful July call with Ukraine's leader -- a move that Schiff himself later acknowledged was an inapt "parody."
At the press conference, Trump also called Joe and Hunter Biden "stone-cold crooked," citing Hunter Biden's lucrative business dealings in Ukraine while his father was vice president. Trump went on to threaten litigation concerning what he called false accusations by "the fake news media" and "in many cases, the corrupt media."

That’s what collusion is. Nancy and Schiff are compromised.
Love this President!-)
Very likely.
The Dems stop at nothing.
All of the MSM coverage at this hour is on how Trump said a naughty word.
I've learned that Trump doesn't say stuff like this unless he already knows its true and can be proven.
No- President Trump did not say this- it was reported by other outlets and admitted to by schiff himself...stop with the misleading headlines...
Yes, on the Dimtanic!
Aw Geez, can the Dems get any more corrupt. This is foolish When Schiff is effectively writing complaints to himself.
Yep, proven many times over, as in when he said he was spied on.
They didn't admit it, they confessed it.
Isn’t this guy the best!!!
PDJT, the best President EVER!!!!
I would love for Trump to ask Schiff if he would be willing to take a televised polygraph!
He’s RIGHT and I said the same right from the start.
Plus @OANN reported 3 days ago that Adam SCHITT sent staff to the Ukraine in late August to meet with the former president and their trip was paid for by George Soros and #crowdstrike!
Not to mention him sending an aide to the Ukraine. I wonder what the timeline is for the CIA traitor going to Schiff-for-Brains, and then him sending his aide overseas.
Yes he even out does Reagan!
I’ll take “Why Gallows were invented” for $300 Alex...
Pelosi should at least lose her Speaker of the House spot and Schiff...should be forced to resign immediately if this is true...period.
Actually if the democrat Party has brains left in it...it should cancel the Impeachment inquiry this evening...period.
