REPORT: GOP argues whistleblower’s name must be public
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by TheHill.com:
As the evidence mounts of a quid pro quo in President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, the president’s allies in Congress are increasingly hopeful they’ll find exoneration in a singular figure: the government whistleblower they’re fighting to expose.
The clash over the whistleblower’s identity — and that person’s right to anonymity — has emerged as a frontline battle in the partisan war over the Trump impeachment inquiry.
The article goes on to state the following:
Republicans on Capitol Hill contend that knowing the whistleblower’s identity is vital to the process, granting Trump the right to face his accuser — and learn of any political biases the figure might have. They are effectively waging a whisper campaign about the identity of the anonymous figure who filed the complaint triggering the inquiry launched just six weeks ago.
Democrats are insisting that efforts to make the whistleblower’s name public will “jeopardize the safety of the individual” and is a “violation of federal law.”
