Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Democrats causing 'bigger national scandal' than Donald Trump:
An unidentified whistleblower was so concerned by a particular phone call made by Trump regarding Ukraine that they filed an official complaint. Democratic leaders in Congress are now attempting to obtain that complaint, but Trump's acting director of national intelligence has been withholding it, in what many legal experts and lawmakers have argued is a violation of the law.
As Ocasio-Cortez's tweet highlighted, there has been a growing division within the Democratic party over attempting to impeach Trump. Progressive Democrats in Congress have long been urging their party to push forward with an impeachment vote, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California,
. She has previously said she believes it would be too divisive and would be better to defeat the president at the ballot box. In response to the whistleblower report regarding Ukraine, Pelosi accused the president of"stonewalling" Congress. The Trump Admin is clearly violating federal statute by blocking the head of US Intelligence from providing Congress with a whistleblower complaint described as being of"urgent concern & credible.â The stonewalling must end. What is the President hiding?
