White House preparing to release whistleblower complaint to Congress
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/24/white-house-whistleblower-complaint-release-1510341
The White House is preparing to release to Congress by the end of the week both the whistleblower complaint and the Inspector General report that are at the center of House Democrats impeachment inquiry, according to a senior administration official, reversing its position after withholding the documents from lawmakers.
The move shows the level of seriousness with which the administration is now approaching the Houses new impeachment proceedings, even as President Donald Trump publicly tries to minimize the inquiry as a witch hunt or presidential harassment, or a move that will help him win his 2020 reelection campaign.
The administration official stressed the decision and timing could change over the next few days, but as of Tuesday evening the White House was planning to hand over the documents to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The president has agreed to this move, the official added.
A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
