Congressional Committees Get The Whistleblower Report

Welcome

WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 25: House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) speaks to the media one day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that Democrats will start an impeachment injury of U.S. President Donald Trump, on September 25, 2019 in Washington, DC. Yesterday Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry after allegations that President Donald Trump sought to pressure the president of Ukraine to investigate leading Democratic presidential contender, former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, which was the subject of a reported whistle-blower complaint that the Trump administration has withheld from Congress.

The House Intelligence Committee had a chance to see the whistleblower complaint (or some form of it) Wednesday afternoon. It was viewed in a secure room. The public won’t be allowed to see the report, at least not yet. But we are beginning to get reaction from committee members.

Chairman Adam Schiff says, “what this courageous individual has done has exposed serious wrongdoing and I think it’s a travesty that this complaint was withheld as long as it was, because it was an urgent matter, it is an urgent matter.”

And on the Senate side, at least one Republican calls the complaint “troubling.”

The public could learn more tomorrow when acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, testifies in an open hearing front of the House Intel Committee.
