According to The Hill, Pompeo accused Schiff of being responsible for classified information leaked while he held a seat on the House Intelligence Committee. The new speaker of the committee, Kevin McCarthy, has blocked Schiff from being reinstated to the committee.
In an interview with Fox News, Pompeo said, “Adam Schiff lied to the American people, and during my time as CIA director and Secretary of State, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him. “Pompeo continued, adding that Schiff’s time as the Intel chairman “almost ruined that committee.”

Pompeo was asked during the interview why he hadn’t taken action against Schiff regarding leaked classified documents. Pompeo replied, “it’s a complicated process” and “it’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened.” He continued, saying he had “held back” information from the Intelligence Committee because he “didn’t feel comfortable” working with the panel led by Schiff.

In his rejection letter to Jeffries, McCarthy wrote, “I appreciate the loyalty you have to your Democratic colleagues, and I acknowledge your efforts to have two Members of Congress reinstated to the House Permanent Select Committee of Intelligence. But I cannot put partisan loyalty ahead of national security, and I cannot simply recognize years of service as the sole criteria for membership on this essential committee. Integrity matters more. As such, in order to maintain a standard worthy of this committee’s responsibilities, I am hereby rejecting the appointments of Representative Adam Schiff and Representative Eric Swalwell to serve on the Intelligence Committee.”
