Trump was led to falsely believe that Rep. Adam Schiff was fed exclusive information that could help Democrats if released publicly.
President Donald Trump replaced Joseph Maguire as his acting director of national intelligence after Maguire enraged Trump by authorizing a congressional briefing on Russia's election interference, according to the Washington Post and The New York Times.
Schiff served as the lead House impeachment manager during Trump's Senate trial, and the president often attacks him and suggests Schiff is guilty of treason, which is punishable by death. Grenell has no experience or background in intelligence, but is now charged with overseeing the 17 agencies that make up the US intelligence community.Maguire made headlines last year for his role in overseeing the transmission of an anonymous whistleblower's complaint against Trump to Congress.
Maguire eventually released the complaint to Congress in September after a fierce tug-of-war with House Democrats and Schiff, who publicly revealed its existence days earlier. Trump has continued to exhibit skepticism, despite ongoing warnings from the US intelligence community about the potential for Russia, among other countries, to interfere in the 2020 election.
