WASHINGTON - The whistleblower who prompted an impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump never met or spoke with congressman Adam Schiff, the Democrat leading impeachment hearings in Congress, a source familiar with the whistleblower’s contacts said.
In his opening statement at the Intelligence Committee’s hearing on Wednesday, Nunes was more cautious, saying he knew committee staff had held “direct discussions” with the whistleblower before the official’s complaint was submitted to the intelligence community inspector general.In response, committee Chairman Schiff denied even knowing the whistleblower’s identity.
The source said the whistleblower and the committee staff member had known each other from prior work but their contacts had been “professional” and they were “not friends or close.” The whistleblower filed the complaint on Aug. 12 and the inspector general, Michael Atkinson, determined it was credible.
