Sen. Rand Paul blocked a resolution that reaffirms the Senate's support of whistleblower protections.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., blocked a resolution that reaffirms the Senate's support of whistleblower protections.
Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono, introduced the resolution on Wednesday that would express the"sense of the Senate" that Congress and the president"have a duty to protect the identity of the whistleblowers and ensure that they are not retaliated against."
"With his attacks on the whistleblower, Donald Trump has made clear that he will use the full power of his office to bully and intimidate and threaten anyone who dares to stand up to him or speak out against him," Hirono said on the Senate floor. Paul previously said he's considered naming the whistleblower on the Senate floor, telling Fox News on Tuesday,"Nothing stops me, there's no law that stops me from doing it other than that I don't want to make it about the one individual.
