Ever since a news report about a whistleblower complaint concerning President Donald Trump sent shock waves through Washington last week, it's been a challenge to make sense of the complicated, and still unfolding, story.
"I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening," Trump continued."If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said] 'we have information on your opponent' -- oh, I think I'd want to hear it."In a press release, the Department of Defense announced plans to provide equipment to support military operations in Ukraine.
Three days after the call with Ukraine, Trump tweets that Coats, who had been serving as the director of national intelligence since March 2017, would be stepping down. Trump also tweeted his intent to nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe to fill the role.After a failed attempt to rally support for Ratcliffe, Trump announces that he will instead name Joseph Maguire to fill in for Coats.
Sept. 9, 2019: Atkinson expresses his concerns to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and ranking member Devin Nunes in a letter The Washington Post reports that Trump has been tied to a whistleblower complaint concerning a phone call with a"foreign leader." Later reports confirm that the complaint was about his July 25 call with Zelensky.Schiff, speaking to reporters after the hearing, said that his committee does not have the complaint and does not know whether reports about it are accurate. He also said he believed there were efforts to keep details of the report out of the hands of Congress.
The report suggests that during his phone call with Zelensky, Trump urged the Ukraine president to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, on a probe into Biden's son.
