Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) suggested Saturday that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will not release Michael Atkinson’s transcript amid an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

As the inquiry moves from the House Intelligence Committee to the Judiciary Committee, headed by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Ratcliffe claimed Atkinson, who is the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), may have revealed information about a potential link between Schiff or his staff and the whistleblower who triggered the inquiry.
