On October 6, 2019, a significant development emerged in the ongoing controversy surrounding US President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine. A second whistleblower has decided to come forward with corroborating first-hand information about Trump's alleged attempts to pressure Ukraine for personal political gain, as reported by ABC News.
According to ABC News, the second whistleblower is an intelligence official who has first-hand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the original complaint. This individual has been interviewed by the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog.
Lawyer Mark Zaid, who represents the first whistleblower, implicitly confirmed the development by retweeting ABC's tweet. Zaid was also expected to appear on ABC's 'This Week' to discuss the matter further.
