WASHINGTON – Railing against impeachment at a meeting of his Cabinet, an angry President Donald Trump called Monday for the identification of the government whistleblower who made the first accusations against him.
“Do we have to protect somebody that gave a totally false account of my conversation?" Trump said at one point. "I don’t know. You tell me.”
House Democrats conducting the impeachment inquiry say federal laws are designed to protect the identities of whistleblowers.
They also said the statements of this particular whistleblower are consistent with a partial transcript of July 25 phone call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 presidential contender, and Biden's son Hunter, who once had business interests in Ukraine.
The president disagreed, telling reporters Democrats have "nothing."
"I think they want to impeach me because it's the only way they're going to win," he said. "They've got nothing. All they have is a phone call that is perfect. All they have is a whistleblower who's disappear. Where is he?"
