A lawyer for the whistleblower who raised alarms about President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine says his client is willing to answer written questions submitted by House Republicans
WASHINGTON — A lawyer for the whistleblower who raised alarms about President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine said Sunday his client is willing to answer written questions submitted by House Republicans.
Attorney Mark Zaid tweeted that the whistleblower would answer questions directly from Republican members"in writing, under oath & penalty of perjury," part of a bid to stem efforts by Trump and his GOP allies to unmask the person's identity. Only queries seeking the person's identity won't be answered, he said.
"When you're talking about the removal of the president of the United States, undoing democracy, undoing what the American public had voted for, I think that individual should come before the committee," McCarthy told CBS'"Face the Nation."Story continuesRepublicans view a political opportunity in unmasking the CIA official, who the intelligence community's inspector general said could have"arguable political bias.
"Let me be absolutely clear: Our willingness to cooperate has not changed," tweeted Andrew P. Bakaj, another attorney representing the whistleblower."What we object to and find offensive, however, is the effort to uncover the identity of the whistleblower."
