WASHINGTON—Inspector General for the Intelligence Community (ICIG) Michael Atkinson has until the close of business on Oct. 11 to answer a series of questions put to him during a closed hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the whistleblower at the center of the House Democrats’ impeachment drive against President Donald Trump.

“Your disappointing testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee September 26 was evasive to the point of being insolent and obstructive,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Atkinson in a letter made public on Oct. 9.
