Second Whistleblower Emerges in Trump-Ukraine Controversy, According to Attorneys of First

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Multiple outlets reported Sunday that a second whistleblower came forward in relation to President Donald Trump's interactions with Ukraine. Mark Zaid, the attorney for the CIA officer whose initial complaint last month catalyzed a presidential impeachment inquiry, says his team is now representing a second intelligence official, this one with "first-hand knowledge that supported the first whistleblower." The news comes days after House Democrats subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Mike Pence for documents related to the initial complaint. Coverage of the development was straightforward, with outlets like the Washington Examiner quoting Zaid himself and others referencing tweets by his partner, Andrew Bakaj. The New York Times was the first to report on Friday about the potential emergence of a second whistleblower.
