It just came out that the Trump Administration, in its frenzy over "leakers" took the nearly unheard of step of subpoenaing the communications metadata of members of Congress. Schiff was one of them and they went after not just him, but his aides and family members too. Including a minor.

Only came out now because the Trump DOJ got a gag order on Apple that expired this year so the members of Congress weren't even aware this was happening to them and their family.

Also recontexualizes a pretty damning exchange in a Senate hearing back in 2019 where Barr is asked if anyone in the White House asked or suggested he open an investigation of anyone. Where he goes "Um." and when pressed that he really ought to remember such an event he replies, "Yeah, but I'm trying to grapple with the word suggest."
