BREAKING: Whistleblower accuses top homeland security officials of violating laws and policies by lying to Congress and manipulating intel reports to match statements by President Trump.

A Marine Corps veteran and former FBI agent, Murphy was hired to play a key role in DHS's intelligence collection and analysis operation, the complaint says.

Murphy said Wolf's instructions on Russia"specifically originated from White House National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien. Mr. Murphy informed Mr. Wolf he would not comply with these instructions, as doing so would put the country in substantial and specific danger." The complaint says Murphy repeatedly tried to set his bosses straight on the lack of terrorists crossing the southern border, but was rebuffed.

It was Murphy's"good faith belief that the testimony Secretary Nielsen delivered on March 6, 2019, regarding again constituted a knowing and deliberate submission of false material information."
