The president in recent days, by way of tweet storms and press conferences, has relentlessly bashed the Ukraine whistleblower and denied any wrongdoing during a phone call in which he pressured a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent.
Recent public attacks levied by President Donald Trump against the anonymous whistleblower who sounded the alarm on the president's attempts to pressure a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent have Democrats accusing him of endangering the life of that person, in addition to the lives of future whistleblowers.
"I want to know who's the person that gave the whistleblower, who's the person that gave the whistleblower the information, because that's close to a spy," Trump told a group of United States delegation to the United Nations staffers and their families before departing New York on Thursday, according to video of the private event.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi joins fellow House Democrats to mark 200 days since they passed H.R. 1, the For the People Act with a news conference at the U.S. Capitol September 27 in Washington, DC.Pelosi also said she believed Attorney General William Barr"has gone rogue"—stark comments for one of the most powerful lawmakers in Washington to make about the nation's top law enforcement official."He has for a long time now," she added.
Pelosi's criticism mirrored that of several colleagues who said on Thursday that Trump's remarks equated to"reprehensible witness intimidation" and accused him of attempting"to obstruct Congress' impeachment inquiry."
