Top Republican Sen. Grassley on Ukraine whistleblower: 'This person appears to have followed the whistleblower protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected.'
The whistleblower's lawyer, Andrew P. Bakaj, said Trump's comments"that our client's identity will be disclosed publicly and that, as a result, our client will be put in harm's way."
On Monday, Grassley and another Republican senator, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, sent a letter to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson, after a conservative media outlet reported thathad claimed the intelligence community"secretly gutted" a requirement that a whistleblower has to have first-hand knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing. The Ukraine whistleblower's complaint is comprised of mostly information the person was told by other officials.
