A group of about 90 former national security officials have written an open letter calling for the government and media to protect the identity of the whistleblower at the center of an impeachment inquiry.
The public letter (pdf), which was first published in The Wall Street Journal on Oct. 6, argues that the person who filed the complaint against President Donald Trump, related to his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had followed proper procedure when making the complaint and should be entitled to the protections afforded under federal whistleblowing laws.
