Trump’s communications with a foreign leader sparked whistleblower complaint

A communication between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader prompted a whistleblower complaint that is now at the center of a dispute between the director of national intelligence and Congress, a source familiar with the case told CNN.

The concern was first revealed by The Washington Post, which reported that an official in the American intelligence community was so bothered by a "promise" Trump made to a foreign leader that the official filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general of the intelligence community, citing two former US officials familiar with the matter. CNN has not independently confirmed the detail about a "promise" made to the foreign leader.
The source who spoke to CNN would not disclose the foreign leader with whom Trump was alleged to have spoken.

  1. While Benedict Donald is President, the United States of America is just a part of the Trump Organization, and he is the capo di tutti capi.

  2. It’s an obvious coverup. Trump probably promised something to a Saudi about something Congress needs to approve and now his flunkies are attempting to cover up that fact.

    1. @GunDrone that’s right you dumb fucks. You silly shits won’t wake up till deFurher Trump has stolen all of America’s money, gave away or sold all of America’s secrets, and moved to Saudi Arabia or Russia. You dumb fucks will then try to tell anyone who would listen that you weren’t the dumb, ignorant, fools who had their heads stuck up their asses concerning this lying, thieving traitor, Donald Trump.

    1. US News TV : Now you’re getting it. Your Republic has FALLEN already. Because people don’t, “feel,” it; still going to work, paying taxes, shopping and watching YouTube, they don’t realise, or just won’t ACCEPT that it’s OVER!

    2. We can count on some of these brave reporters and Congress people to Get the information out to us the people. Then WE will require a return to the values of our constitution and civility.

    1. @JRG2733 enough man. Dont you think its time you grew up and joined the adults. Trump will win again but at a much much much larger margin. Then he will expose all your litte friends that have been stealing from the people so they get rich and stay in POWER. Thats what this is all about son

    1. @Glenn V dude everybody knows he is a criminal. Why are you still defending him? Trump university…a scam. Trum foundation..a scam. Paying off pornstars, possibly campaign finance violations, deflating his assets…possible tax fraud. Inflating his assets for loans…possible fraud aswell. It is all in investigation or already shown that it was criminal actions. Why are you defending this guy?

    2. @Glenn V — Maybe you haven’t noticed, fool, but these “nothingburgers” have been sending people to prison. Go troll FOX…or does your group home let you stay up this late?

    3. Pretty much like his tax returns, the grand jury material from the Mueller report that his mouthpiece Barr is hiding as well as the witnesses from the report who testified under oath that he asked to obstruct justice, like McGhan, he won’t allow to testify in front of Congress. Lying Trump is a criminal and a pathological liar. Period. We have a racist ignorant mob boss in our WH. This is inconceivable.

    4. I remember when every second comment on youtube was “MUELLERTIME” with a bunch of smileys like it was last month, because it was last month.

    1. end of democracy is correct unless the dems get some balls. WTF are they doing??? Punch these guys in the face and slap the cuffs on them. Stop suing and show up with sergeant of arms with cuffs! This is classic dictatorship 101 as exposed in MeinKompf, tRumpinskis favorite book (as reported by his first wife). I’ve said we are only 2 or 3 issues away from a 30’s hitler, this is one of them…

  3. I’ve got news for you .. ol’ loose lips is setting himself up to receive FALSE information from his intelligence personnel (if he hasn’t already). I may not be around by the time this mess clears up, but America is never going to be a rule of law country unless the law applies to EVERYONE. We’re getting our nickel’s worth with reality t.v. personage and it serves us (and HIM) right for falling asleep at the wheel. 🌹

      No kidding. These idiots need to Google “The 8 Steps of Socialism” and see how it aligns PERFECTLY with the DNC agenda.
      Then they can look up the name John Dewey and learn WHERE he got his deranged ideas that wrecked my nations educational system and EXPONENTIALLY advanced the socialist agenda of the DNC.
      Finally, they should plug the name Yuri Bezmenov into thier YouTube address window and watch his 1984 interview (or selected excerpts.) Yuri was warning us about democrats and baby boomers of the time.
      Here’s a few articles you may find interesting. It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to read them all. The information contained within is flawlessly reported.

      I apologize that I am unable to post direct links, but YouTube has seen fit to “shadow ban” my comments when I post links that refute their leftist lies and / or don’t agree with their demented narrative; meaning, my comments can only be viewed from the device from which they were posted if they contain “subversive” links.

    1. @Dez Perkins Didn’t think you would accept the facts. Still willing to share them with a fellow citizen… if I may assume such.

    1. The left has lost their collective mind. Reasonable liberals are walking away in silence so that their own party’s cancel culture doesn’t eat them alive.

    2. @Spaghetti Monster
      Let them walk away. trump will still be voted out in 2020. The nightmare is almost over. Trust the polls.

    1. @Lavern Revels That would be breaking the law and that person would lose access to legal protection under whistleblower laws. As it is, Trump and Barr are trying not only to deny the person whistleblower protection but Trump is aggressively trying to prosecute this person as revenge.

  4. Trump was correct when he talked about murdering someone and getting away with it. No one in our government chooses to do their job.

    1. @Alan G.
      You’re a useful idiot. YOU PERSONALLY are what’s wrong with my country.

      The Obama Legacy

      When Barack Obama became president, he said that he wanted to fundamentally transform America. He succeeded on a dangerous scale.

      The damage his administration did to this country is immeasurable.

      The Obama administration had a vice-grip on the law and intelligence departments. It authored scandals like Fast and Furious, which put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. It used the Internal Revenue Service to target conservative organizations. It used its intelligence infrastructure to spy on journalists and other media members. It abused law enforcement powers to punish political opponents and expand its power. And as it became clear, it spied on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. It was an attempt to stop Mr. Trump’s campaign to win the Republican primary election. Then later it made a treasonous attempt to overthrow his presidency via the manufactured Steele Dossier !

    2. 95% of all complaints thrown @Trump have been fake! Betting this is too! Sure is a lot of Lying cum-dumpsters in the DemoKkkratic party!

    1. @Miguel Lavoie — We HAVE to do SOMETHING, Dude. Oil and gas will NOT last forever. We MUST get used to the idea of necessary “radical” implementation of systems which are killing the planet, and us along with it.

      When cars gained popularity, horse-traders went out of business…and they had to do something else. Humans are resilient. We can handle whatever is necessary if we have to. Whining about it will accomplish nothing. Besides…we have to.

    2. @Alan G. With all due respect. I understand we cant be careless with smog, smoke, exhaust etc. But cars gained popularity because they were FASTER, warmer and you could haul MORE. The government didn’t demand you give up your horse, meat, entire way of life for something they believed.

      How long would you say we had before we run out of Oil? Also what “factual” and i mean factual proof do you have the planet is in fact being “killed”. This is the problem of today. People get so emotionally attached to a topic that they demand it becomes word of God. Then they become offended when people don’t believe in what they believe. I will do what i believe is best for my family an ill be fucking damned if we are giving up our vehicles.

  5. Trump pretends like the public doesn’t already know about him giving away code word classified information to the Russians in the oval office

    1. @JR N you forgot to take your medicine.
      complaint about “President’s Communications”? since when anyone is authorized to dictate how President should communicate with anyone?

    2. The left when Trump talks foreign policy: “HE’S GIVING TMI!!”

      The left when Trump talks foreign policy: “GIVE US ALL THE INFORMATION!!”

      LOLOLOL!!! YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS CRAP UP!!!

  6. another one that says “…if you don’t like the corruption, don’t fight it just resign…”. how ’bout Bill Barr resigns instead?

    1. Hello Comrades!…..Just bought myself a new Russian Super Yacht! $$$$$$$$
      My “constituents” in KENTUCKY will never know!….Muhahahahahahahahaha!
