The U.S. intelligence community’s inspector general (ICIG), who reviewed the anonymous whistleblower complaint that triggered the House Democratic-led impeachment effort, previously served under then-acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord, who herself worked as the top outside counsel supporting the impeachment effort.
