A reportedly damning whistleblower complaint filed with the federal government intelligence community inspector general against President Donald Trump “involves Ukraine,” The Washington Post, which first broke the story, late Thursday night reports in the latest development.
“Two and a half weeks before the complaint was filed,” by an intelligence official, “Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and political newcomer who was elected in a landslide in May,” The Post reports.
The whistleblower complaint was filed August 12. It reportedly accuses the president of making a disturbing “promise” to an unnamed foreign leader, and reportedly doing so on several different occasions, or involved “multiple actions,” as The New York Times states.
The White House, through the Acting Director of National Intelligence, has refused to hand over to Congress the whistleblower complaint. By law it is required to do so within seven days of the report being created.
President Donald Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani have reportedly been trying to force to deliver dirt on top Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Trump had been withholding military aid from Ukraine.
In fact, last month Giuliani freely admitted he had traveled to the Eastern European country.
“Ukraine’s prosecutor general told Bloomberg in May he had no proof of wrongdoing by Biden or his son,” CNN reported at the time.
And in a stunning breach of protocol, the U.S. State Department reportedly assisted Giuliani with the trip.
