If the bombshell report dropped by The Washington Post is to be believed, the whistleblower who went to the Inspector General has a really big story to tell, and it's one that leads straight back to Donald Trump.
Just to review, this is an issue because whatever the whistleblower told the Inspector General was a matter of "urgent concern," requiring IG Atkinson to notify Adam Schiff, as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff then requested the report, and acting DNI Joseph Maguire refused, so Schiff subpoenaed him. As it stands now, there is a briefing by Atkinson scheduled for Thursday, and Maguire is set to testify at a hearing set for a week from Thursday.
Which brings us to the details. WaPo:
Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community, said the former officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
