Speaking at a Trump rally in Kentucky, Sen. Rand Paul claimed to know the identity of the whistleblower and called on the media to unmask them.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul set Twitter alight on Monday after calling on the media to reveal the identity of the anonymous intelligence official whose complaint sparked the impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump.

Regardless, Trump and his supporters have sought to keep the focus on the official, citing their anonymity as evidence of Democratic opacity. Twitter users were quick to condemn Paul's assertions, warning that uncovering the identity of the whistleblower would be both unethical and illegal. Moss added that he is struggling"to find consistency between the purported libertarian philosophy of Rand Paul and his desire to place a lawful whistleblower in harm's way."
