Reuters reports:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday accused U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee that is investigating alleged Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election, of leaking “confidential” information.
Trump is now recycling his juvenile nicknames, having already attacked “Little” Marco Rubio on many occasions. This morning’s tweet-spasm was spawned, as usual, by a segment on Fox & Friends.

Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

Thank you to @foxandfriends for exposing the truth. Perhaps that’s why your ratings are soooo much better than your untruthful competition!

House Intel very likely to approve release of Schiff’s memo today. At that point, Trump will have five days to object to or allow its release. Dems may not be too optimistic after this tweet https://t.co/Lmaah7mrnR

The House Intel Committee is scheduled to take up the Democratic rebuttal memo today—not a good sign for Trump to be bashing Schiff. https://t.co/FwGbRzELeX
