“Russia, Russia, Russia. Totally false, created by Adam Schiff, Shifty Schiff and Hillary Clinton and the whole group of them,” Kennedy Center said on Wednesday.

Trump referred to recently declassified documents alleging that the Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the story that Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community indicating the opposite.

“It made things very dangerous for our country because I couldn’t really face Russia as we should have been,” said Trump of Kennedy Center, referring to the Attorney General Pam Bondi. “And I look at Pam because I hope something is about to be done on this.”

The White House spokesman Harrison Fields described Schiff as “fraud” and “corrupt politician” when he was approached on Tuesday to comment on the legal fund.

“Adam Schiff is a shady and corrupt politician who betrayed his oath to the Constitution by prioritizing his selfish and personal animosity towards the president on the interests of the American people. No amount of money can protect Adam from the truth that he is fraud,” Foxs told Fox News Digital.

Schiff was also criticized earlier in August when documents were published at Congress by FBI director Kash Patel House Intelligence Committee For more than 10 years, the FBI said in 2017 that Schiff would have approved classified information on Trump which “would be used to charge President Trump”.

Schiff denied allegations as “absolutely and categorically false”.

Schiff was notably part of the January 6 committee, which investigated the day in January 2021, when Trump supporters raped the American Capitol and were among the legislators who obtained a preemptive pardon on the last day of President Joe Biden in power in 2025.

“First, those of us within the committee are very proud of the work we have done. We were making a vital surveillance of a violent attack on the Capitol,” said Schiff in an interview with the media in December 2024. “So I think that it is not necessary.”

“But secondly, the previous one to give general pardons, preventive coverage pardons when leaving an administration, I think it is a precedent that we do not want to define,” he added.
