WATCH: RepSeanMaloney repeatedly asks acting DNI Maguire if he spoke 'personally' with President Trump about the whistleblower complaint
"I believe the whistleblower is operating in good faith," Maguire said when asked by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff if the director believed “the whistleblower is a political hack.”
The complaint against Trump over his repeated calls for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter was made public on Thursday morning. In it, the unnamed whistleblower cited conversations and details provided by"more than half a dozen U.S. officials,” alleging that Trump is “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.
“You don’t have any reason to accuse them of disloyalty to our country or suggest they’re beholden to some other country?” Schiff asked Maguire. “I think the whistleblower did the right thing,” he added. “I think he followed the law every step of the way."
