Donald Trump has demanded he be given the chance to meet with the anonymous whistleblower whose complaint about his call with the president of
Ukraine sparked an official impeachment inquiry and led to multiple House committees issuing subpoenas towards his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani.“Like every
American, I deserve to meet my accuser,” the president tweeted, as lawyers expressed concern for the safety of the informant and fellow
Republicans attacked Mr Trump’s decision to quote a pastor warning Congress’s new impeachment inquiry could trigger “a Civil War like fracture”, with one congressman branding the rhetoric “beyond repugnant”. The whistleblower sounded the alarm over Mr Trump's call with Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he asked the Ukrainian president to pursue a corruption investigation into
Democratic 2020 front-runner Joe Biden.
