Gohmert publicly named a person that some Republicans and allies of President Donald Trump claim is the alleged whistleblower who first brought the Trump-Ukraine scandal to light
Rep. Louie Gohmert on Wednesday night publicly named a person that some Republicans and allies of President Donald Trump claim is the alleged whistleblower who first brought the Trump-Ukraine scandal to light.
Gohmert identified the person, who POLITICO is not naming, during remarks at a Judiciary Committee meeting on articles of impeachment against Trump. Gohmert named the person as he ticked through a list of witnesses he said the committee should hear from before voting on impeachment.
No other lawmakers on the panel, or on the House Intelligence Committee, have publicly named the person, though the individual’s identity has been circulated online by a small number of Trump-aligned figures and media outlets. POLITICO has not independently verified the whistleblower’s identity. House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff, who led the Ukraine investigation, warned colleagues last month that any attempt by lawmakers to identify the whistleblower could be an ethics violation. He said the whistleblower had a statutory right to anonymity and to be shielded form reprisal — and he said the whistleblower also had the legal right to contact Congress.Though Democrats on the committee didn't acknowledge Gohmert's comment, one Democratic lawmaker reacted furiously.Rep.
