Hours earlier, Trump tweeted that the whistle-blower is a “big Democrat“ with ties to one of the president’s Democratic opponents. Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for the intelligence community, acknowledged the whistle-blower has “arguable political bias” in favor of a rival candidate in an Aug. 26 report.
“If this continues, I will call Volker before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify publicly to ensure the full story is told,” Graham said on Twitter. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone notified the House on Tuesday that the president and his administration won’t cooperate with the inquiry, which Cipollone declared unconstitutional and invalid.
“The Whistleblower’s lawyer is a big Democrat. The Whistleblower has ties to one of my DEMOCRAT OPPONENTS. Why does the ICIG allow this scam to continue?” the president said in another tweet.
