Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said Tuesday on CNN that President Donald Trump‘s comments about the so-called whistleblower could bring “harm to that person.”
Castro said, “The president at this point has been very abusive of the Whistleblower Protection Act and really is basically on the verge of not only revealing the identity or getting somebody else to reveal the identity of the whistleblower, but also bringing harm to that person. It’s getting quite scary, the president’s behavior and his words and what that could conjure up.”
He added, “We don’t know if somebody in the White House who may know the person’s identity is going to leak it. But the federal government should be committed to keeping this person safe, wherever he or she is.”
