The whistleblower said about a dozen White House officials were on the president's July 25 call and that White House officials later intervened to 'lock down' records of the call
An intelligence community whistleblower claimed White House officials expressed alarm that they had witnessed President Donald Trump "abuse his office for personal gain" during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July.
The whistleblower also indicated Attorney General William Barr was involved — and a summary of the call released by Trump on Wednesday indicated Trump had suggested Barr could provide Justice Department aid to Ukraine's investigators. The Justice Department said Trump never communicated this request directly to Barr.

Atkinson said the whistleblower had an "arguable" political bias, but he said he still viewed the complaint as credible in part because of other information he obtained.
