President Trump on Friday renewed his attacks on reports about a whistl🌳eblower’s complaint that he had an inappropriate conversation with a foreign leader, again casting blame on Democrats and the “F🦂ake News.”
“The Radical Left Democrats and their Fake News Media partners, headed up again by Little Adam Sch♏iff, and batting Zero for 21 against me, are at it agai🙈n!” he wrote in the first of , referring to Rep. Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which is investigating the issue.
“They think I may have had a ‘dicey’ conversation with a certain foreign leader based ❀on a ‘highly partisan’ whistleblowers statement,” the commander-in-chief continued, without elaborating on his characterization of the unidentified whistleblower as a partisan.
“Strange that with so many other peopl𒈔e hearing or knowing of the perfectly fine and respectful conversation, that they would not have also come forward. Do you know the reason why they did not? Because ꦬthere was nothing said wrong, it was pitch perfect!”
Intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson determined that the complaint was troubling enough to be considered a matter of “urgent concern,” a legal threshold that requires notifi🙈c🌌ation of congressional oversight committees.
But Trump’s acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire refused to share details about the complaint with lawmakers, a move that Schiff suggested Thursday was ordered by the White House.
Atkinson appeared at a💯 closed hearing of the committee Thursday, and Maguire agreed to testify before the🌺 panel in open session next week.
Atkinson on T🗹hursday declined to discuss the substance of the whistleblower’s complaint — but according to mul🔥tiple reports, he told the panel that there were other troubling incidents beyond the phone call involved.
Some of the whistleblower’s allegations appear to center on Ukraine, according to .
The president had also ripped the reports on Tw෴itter on Thursday, calling them “Fake News” and “Presidential Harassment!”
