Trump Rejects Whistleblower’s Written Answer Offer, Nearly Reveals Alleged Identity

On Sunday, an attorney representing the whistleblower whose complaint about President Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry announced that his client is willing to answer Republicans’ questions — but only in written form. President Trump, who came close to outing the alleged identity of the whistleblower Sunday, emphatically rejected the whistleblower’s offer early Monday.

“The Whistleblower gave false information and dealt with corrupt politician [Adam] Schiff,” Trump tweeted Monday (formatting adjusted). “He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable!”
