Whistleblower feared Pres. Trump’s call with Ukraine constituted 'flagrant' abuse of power, document says.
The House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released a declassified version of a whistleblower complaint regarding President Donald Trump’s interactions with the Ukrainian president and subsequent handling of records about a July 25 phone call between the two leaders.
Less than one day after the White House released a transcript from that call, the whistleblower’s complaint shed’s additional light on how the conversation was perceived by administration officials. "Instead," the whistleblower claims,"the transcript was loaded into a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an especially sensitive nature. One White House official described this act as an abuse of this electronic system because the call did not contain anything remotely sensitive from a national security perspective."
The whistleblower did not provide other specific examples of other occasions where a presidential transcript was placed into this system.
