House intelligence panel chair Schiff says whistleblower complaint credible, disturbing
WASHINGTON - Democrats and one Republican on U.S. congressional intelligence panels said on Wednesday after viewing a whistleblower complaint concerning President Donald Trump that the allegations were credible and troubling.
At least one Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee expressed dismay about the complaint’s contents. Senator Ben Sasse, who has been critical of fellow Republican Trump, said there were “real troubling things here.” After initially resisting demands by Democrats in Congress to see the whistleblower complaint, the Trump administration relented and allowed members of the House of Representatives and Senate Intelligence committees to view it on Wednesday.
There has been no evidence that Biden, who served as U.S. vice president from 2009 to 2017, used his position to help his son in the Ukraine matter.
