House panel to hold briefing with intel watchdog next week
By Juliegrace Brufke - 09/27/19 07:45 PM EDT

The House Intelligence Committee is slated to hold a briefing with the U.S. intelligence community's inspector general late next week, despite Congress being in recess, the panel's chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced Friday.

Schiff said that Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general, will appear before the committee in a closed session on Oct. 4 for a briefing. The session comes after Atkinson appeared behind closed doors on Capitol Hill earlier this week.

The Democratic chairman said that a whistleblower complaint against Trump released this week offered “credible and alarming set of allegations that the President of the United States sought to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival while also withholding needed military assistance from that country.”

I hope Michael Atkinson is ready to have Dems try to put words in his mouth and otherwise treat him as an enemy if he doesn't spout their line.
