President Trump has threatened the whistleblower who reported him. How do the protections for that intelligence official work?
Lawyers for the whistleblower whose complaint against President Trump triggered an impeachment inquiry said on Sunday they are now representing a second whistleblower who has firsthand knowledge of some of the allegations, outlined in the original complaint, about Trump’s requests for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
But Graham’s demand is at odds with laws protecting whistleblowers from retaliation. Over the weekend, more than 90 former national security officials, veterans of both Democratic and Republican administrations, including Trump’s, released an open letter calling on the government and media to preserve the first whistleblower’s anonymity.
“No action constituting a reprisal, or threat of reprisal, for making such complaint or disclosing such information to the Inspector General may be taken by any employee in a position to take such actions, unless the complaint was made or the information was disclosed with the knowledge that it was false or with willful disregard for its truth or falsity,” according to the 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act.
