The attorney for the whistleblower at the center of an impeachment inquiry against the president said his client “drafted the complaint entirely on their own,” after accusations that a Democratic congress member had provided assistance to the person in creating the document.

“The Whistleblower drafted the complaint entirely on their own,“ Mark Zaid, the lawyer for the anonymous whistleblower, said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times. ”Legal counsel Andrew Bakaj provided guidance on process but was not involved in the drafting of the document and did not review it in advance.”
