The intelligence whistleblower's complaint at the center of House Democrats' impeachment probe into President Trump raises concerns about Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani's role in seeking help from Ukraine to benefit the president's 2020 reelection campaign.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff says President Donald Trump’s actions detailed in a newly released whistleblower complaint read like “a classic organized crime shakedown.”

Press secretary Stephanie Grisham argues the complaint “is nothing more than a collection of third-hand accounts of events and cobbled-together press clippings.” The complaint also details concerns from U.S. officials about “Giuliani’s circumvention of national security decisionmaking processes.”In the days following the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s new president, senior White House officials intervened to “lock down” all records of the call. That’s according to a declassified whistleblower complaint released Thursday by the House Intelligence Committee.

A person familiar with the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly says the redacted complaint is expected to be released Thursday morning. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
