Schiff Floats Taking DNI To Court To Get Details Of Whistleblower Complaint

[ffr]

Following a relatively newsless briefing with the intelligence community’s inspector general on Thursday morning, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) indicated that he would use whatever means necessary to quickly obtain a mysterious intelligence community whistleblower complaint, which reportedly centers on President Trump.

Schiff floated going to court to get a restraining order or some “urgent form of relief” to access the contents of the complaint, which Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire has refused to hand over to Congress.

Intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson initially informed Congress of the complaint’s existence, but he declined to share the contents of the whistleblower complaint during a closed-door House Intelligence Committee session Thursday morning.
