Schiff claims DHS is blocking whistleblower's access to records before testimony
Source: The Hill
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Thursday accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of preventing an agency whistleblower from accessing classified records before congressional testimony.
Schiff asserted that DHS is seeking to place conditions on which documents whistleblower Brian Murphy can review ahead of his testimony on Friday, and that the agency is blocking his attorneys from getting security clearances.
Murphy, the former acting under secretary of the agency's Office of Intelligence & Analysis (I&A), has alleged that top officials at DHS sought to politicize intelligence.
Schiff said if these issues are not resolved before Friday then the committee will plan to subpoena Joseph Maher, the top official carrying out the duties of the under secretary for I&A, to publicly testify about the matter.
