As we told you earlier, Rep. Adam Schiff’s office is spinning fast after the New York Times reported that Schiff got a heads-up about the whistleblower’s allegations before the complaint was filed. Schiff’s office is claiming they didn’t review the complaint but merely gave the whistleblower guidance about what to do with it. At a news conference today, President Trump wasn’t buying it:

Trump said he wouldn’t be surprised if Schiff had a hand in writing the complaint:
Listen to @realDonaldTrump "It shows @RepAdamSchiff is a fraud. It's a scandal that he knew before . I'd go a step further, I think he probably helped write it. That's what the word is." #SchiffLied pic.twitter.com/7PhnfvRnIA

Trump said Schiff helped to write the whistleblower complaint.
Schiff got a heads up, but we have no evidence that he wrote the complaint so far https://t.co/gAH2ppOJRA
