Trump: White House 'trying to find out' whistleblower's identity

President Trump said Monday that the White House is “trying to find out” the identity of the intelligence community whistleblower who filed a complaint about the president’s interactions with Ukraine.

“We’re trying to find out about a whistleblower,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked if he knows the person’s identity, alleging that they reported “things that are incorrect.”

The president’s remarks came one day after he demanded to meet the whistleblower and cast doubt on the individual’s complaint on Twitter.

Trump on Monday again defended his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that is at the center of the whistleblower complaint, calling it “perfect” and accusing the whistleblower of misrepresenting it in the complaint — a redacted version of which was released publicly last week.

elimination they most likely have that persons name. And they are just planning on who will be the one to out that person. The DNI knows as well as who ever runs the Organizational Chart in the White House. All Trump is doing is trying to force some one to blow that persons cover.
