The disclosure of a second whistleblower threatens to undermine arguments made by President
Donald Trump and his allies that a whistleblower complaint was improperly filed because it was largely based on secondhand information.
Attorney Mark Zaid told The Associated Press in a text message Sunday that the second whistleblower, who also works in intelligence, has spoken to the intelligence community's internal watchdog.
This person hasn't filed a complaint but does have "firsthand knowledge that supported" the original whistleblower.
