Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said that he doesn’t believe the identity of the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry should be revealed, as it has been suggested by President Donald Trump and other lawmakers.

“We protect whistleblowers. We protect witnesses in our committee,” Burr told The Hill, saying he “never” thought that he wanted the identity of the whistleblower to be made public.
