WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-- A U.S. congressional panel on Thursday released a declassified version of a whistleblower complaint about President Donald Trump's interactions with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. In the whistleblower complaint, which was filed on Aug. 12 by an unidentified intelligence official and just released by the House Intelligence Committee, the official warned that Trump "is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election." The official added that the interference includes "pressuring a foreign country to investigate one of the President's main domestic political rivals," without explicitly pointing out who that rival was, adding that Trump's personal lawyer, Rudi Giuliani, "is a central figure in this effort." |
