BREAKING: Whistleblower complaint alleges White House officials acted to 'lock down' record of Trump-Ukraine call.
that they intervened to “lock down” the record of the phone call.
The whistleblower, whose name has not been released, says he lodged the formal complaint because he believed that Trump was"using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country" in the 2020 election. In the call, Trump discussed having Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy help investigate the Biden family’s business dealings.
"The interference includes, among other things, pressuring a foreign country to investigate one of the president's main domestic political rivals," the whistleblower continued."The president's personal lawyer, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, is a central figure in this effort. Attorney General Barr appears to be involved as well."
The complaint, which was released with minimal redactions, makes clear there are witnesses who can back up the account, and it indicates concern over the handling of the White House record of the call. The whistleblower says the record of the conversation on July 25 between Trump and Zelenskiy was treated in an unusual way, including part of it being over-classified, in the whistleblower's view.
