After a whistleblower’s complaint against President Trump was delivered to Congress on Wednesday, several top Democrats who reviewed it described the contents as damning — and said that it reinforces their calls for his impeachment.
“I found the allegations deeply disturbing. I also found them very credible,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told reporters. “I want to thank the whistleblower for coming forward. I think what this courageous individual has done has exposed serious wrongdoing.”
Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., compared the whistleblower’s description of Trump’s behavior to his infamous boast during the 2016 campaign that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” without losing the support of his base. “It’s extraordinarily detailed,” Quigley, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, continued. “And it’s very, very well done.”Both Quigley and another Intelligence Committee member, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said that the complaint gives the panel new leads to investigate.
