Whistleblower's legal team expresses “serious concerns” for their client’s personal safety, according to letter sent to Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
The legal team representing the whistleblower whose claims sparked the impeachment inquiry and President Donald Trump's ire is expressing “serious concerns” for their client’s personal safety, according to a letter sent to acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
Although the president’s comments were directed at the person or persons who shared information with the whistleblower, Bakaj said it “does nothing to assuage our concerns for our client’s safety.” Over the weekend, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told ABC Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” Sunday that an agreement had been reached with Maguire to allow the whistleblower to appear before his committee. “We'll get the unfiltered testimony of that whistleblower,” Schiff said, adding that the committee is “taking all the precautions” possible to protect the whistleblower's identity.
Trump’s allies have attempted to discredit the whistleblower’s credibility.
