Republicans in the House said they will subpoena the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry for public testimony when it starts next week, according to one lawmaker.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told reporters on Thursday that he doesn’t know the identity of the whistleblower, saying that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chief of the House Intelligence Committee of the impeachment inquiry, should call the person to testify.
