WASHINGTON – Last night, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined The Big Weekend Show on Fox News Channel to discuss the Obama administration's weaponization of the intelligence community against President Trump, the recently declassified Durham Annex, and new reports alleging that Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) engaged in the illegal leaking of classified information.

Watch the full interview here.

"All of it needs to be exposed... They need to come in, they need to testify":

"We absolutely should. They should be compelled to testify in front of Congress, both House and Senate. Let’s compare what their comments, their comments they make to us now, to what they said in media and what they said in previous investigations. That’s gonna be startling for the American people to see and people might say 'well why are you going back to the well on Russiagate?" Because what we witnessed almost 10 years ago now is that the Democrats wielded our government, they wielded the deep state to undermine a President of the United States. If they can do that, they can do anything with our government. You cannot allow something like this to happen so we have to expose it.  All of it needs to be exposed, those people that were involved need to come in, they need to testify and they need to do it in front of the American people. And If they choose to plead the fifth then it speaks volumes to what they were doing to then candidate Trump and of course the 45th Administration of President Donald Trump."

"Leaking classified information is illegal. No member of Congress is allowed to do that":

"We absolutely should and it shouldn't just be House Oversight, it should also be House Intel. Because what, what chief Meadows was saying is stories that I've heard in my time on Capitol Hill. That Adam Schiff primarily, and others, would read something in the skiff, go out to the cameras and even tell it to the press or leak it to the press so he could get asked questions. It is a complete, it is undermining the intelligence gathering apparatus and it is also demonstrates the manipulation the Democrats were engaged in top to bottom, in my view. I’m not just talk about Hillary, I'm talking about the DNC, the White House, members of Congress. It was a top to bottom way of undermining the intelligence gathering operation in order to undermine President Trump during his first term. So it needs to fully be investigated and yeah, he's a member of the Senate now but that doesn't matter. Leaking classified information is illegal. No member of Congress is allowed to do that."
