Rand Paul reads alleged whistleblower's name on Senate floor and Republicans 'fine' with it
Sen. Rand Paul read aloud the name of the alleged whistleblower who first raised alarms about President Donald Trump's conduct toward Ukraine. And most Republicans didn’t seem to care.
“I was glad we didn’t put the chief justice in a bad situation,” said Sen. Roy Blunt , a member of the GOP leadership. “I have some sympathy for [Paul’s] view on this. The whistleblower law should protect the whistleblower’s job and future opportunity and not necessarily hide who the whistleblower is.”
Story continuesUnder the Constitution, Paul’s own speech is protected on the Senate floor. That means “he can do whatever he wants on the floor,” said Sen. John Cornyn . Paul said Tuesday that he supports protections against reprisal for whistleblowers but not necessarily anonymity.
