'Insolent and obstructive': Tom Cotton says intelligence watchdog shared extra details about Ukraine whistleblower with House Democrats

An Intelligence Community watchdog gave preferential treatment to House Democrats conducting an impeachment inquiry into President Trump while rebuffing Senate Republican questions, according to Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton.

“I’m dissatisfied, to put it mildly, with your refusal to answer my questions, while more fully briefing the three-ring circus that the House Intelligence Committee has become,” Cotton, who sits on the Senate panel overseeing the Intelligence Community, wrote to Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

Cotton wanted Atkinson to reveal the information that might suggest political bias on the part of the whistleblower who reported on President Trump’s now-famous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Atkinson refused to describe the “indicia of an arguable political bias on the part of the complainant in favor of a rival political candidate,” to Cotton’s annoyance.
