A claim made by an anonymous whistleblower that U.S. State Department Counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl was present during President Donald Trump’s telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has been reported by CBS News as false.

A CIA officer filed the complaint through official whistleblower channels after receiving second-hand information he or she believed showed that Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country.”
