President Trump dismisses a Washington Post report that he made a 'promise' to a foreign leader that prompted a whistleblower in the intelligence community to make a formal complaint
President Donald Trump on Thursday reacted to a Washington Post story that a"promise" he made to a foreign leader had caused a whistleblower in the intelligence community to make a formal complaint, calling it"Presidential Harassment!"
As Trump was tweeting, the inspector general for intelligence community was on Capitol Hill being questioned behind closed doors by the House Intelligence Committee on the matter. He was expected to brief members on the handling of the complaint as opposed the content, chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Wednesday.
Schiff accused his McGuire's office of improperly withholding the intelligence community's whistleblower complaint from Congress. "Ignoring the subpoena, ignoring our request. No DNI -- no director of national intelligence -- has ever refused to turn over a whistleblower complaint."The complaint involves conduct by someone outside the intelligence community, according to a letter to Schiff from Jason Klitenic, general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, obtained by ABC News.
