‘I believe that the whistleblower followed the steps every step of the way,’ says Director of National Intelligence Maguire on being asked if the whistleblower is showing disloyalty toward the country. More here:
WASHINGTON - The top U.S. intelligence official said on Thursday that a whistleblower who filed a complaint concerning President Donald Trump has “acted in good faith,” testifying after a House panel released the individual’s report that accused Trump of using his office to solicit Ukraine’s interference in the 2020 election.
“I believe the whistleblower and the inspector general have acted in good faith throughout,” he said, also referring to the national intelligence internal watchdog. “I am not familiar with any prior instances where a whistleblower complaint touched on such complicated and sensitive issues including executive privilege. I believe that this matter is unprecedented,” Maguire said.
“I want to congratulate the Democrats on their latest information warfare effort against the president,” Nunes said sarcastically in his first remarks. Schiff announced shortly before the hearing that the intelligence committee had received the declassified complaint and released it to the public. House and Senate committee members had been allowed to read the complaint on Wednesday, when it was still classified, but only in secure rooms at the Capitol.
