Second whistleblower emerges in Trump impeachment inquiry, lawyer says
last month, Zaid said the latest one also comes from within the intelligence community and also has been in contact with the intelligence inspector general, the reporting path set out by federal law for whistleblowers.in which the president urged Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, and also to look into a discredited conspiracy theory about Ukraine’s role in the 2016 election.
“You really think he was serious?” Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio asked on ABC’s “This Week.” On CBS’ “Face the Nation, Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri said: “I doubt the China comment is serious.”“China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine,” the president said Thursday.
GOP lawmakers have generally gone to considerable lengths to avoid angering the president, particularly if they sense that previous public statements could come back to haunt him. In a combative exchange with host Chuck Todd, he said Trump was right to demand “an accounting of things in 2016.”On the same program, Sen. Chris Murphy said Republicans were going to “wild lengths” to avoid being subjected to Twitter tirades like the one Romney has faced in recent days, in which the president called the Utah Republican “pompous” and an “ass.”
