Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is warning top intelligence officials that President Trump may reveal the identity of the whistleblower whose complaint helped spur an impeachment inquiry.
A letter sent by the New York Democrat to acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire and Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Monday says the president's scathing comments could pose a threat to the whistleblower if a name is leaked and seeks answers about what is being done to ensure protection for this person against retaliation.
Citing Trump's "ill-advised statements," "lack of respect for the rule of law," and "his well-documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters," Schumer wrote that he is "concerned that he may disclose the whistleblower’s identity or cause it to be disclosed."
