'We applaud the whistleblower,' the letter, signed by 90 former national security officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, said.
Dozens of former national security officials—including several who once served under President Donald Trump—have signed an open letter honoring the first whistleblower to come forward in the Trump-Ukraine scandal and demanding their protection.
"What's more," they said,"being a responsible whistleblower means that, by law, one is protected from certain egregious forms of retaliation." In addition to Brennan and Clapper, who had served in different roles under both the Obama and Bush administrations, the letter was also signed by former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and former Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council Javed Ali, along with a number of other former Defense Department, State Department and CIA officials.
Attorneys Andrew Bakaj and Mark Zaid revealed on Sunday that their firm, Compass Rose, was representing"multiple whistleblowers" in connection to the report flagging concerns over Trump's July call with Zelenskiy.
