While President Donald Trump wages a defensive battle against a House Democrat-led impeachment investigation into his dealings with Ukraine, the president’s top allies in the halls of Congress are reportedly quietly making a push to reveal the anonymous whistleblower’s identity.
According to The Hill, Republicans argue that knowing the identity of the individual who essentially sparked the impeachment inquiry launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will allow the president the opportunity to face his accuser, not to mention it would give Republicans the ability to find out any political biases or motives the individual may or may not have had when they filed the official complaint.
But Democrats have a far different view of outing the whistleblower, arguing that not only could that place the individual in actual danger, but that Republicans’ attempts to determine who it is are a violation of U.S. law.
