Professor Andrew Kent spoke to Bloomberg’s June Grasso about the legal process when a whistleblower comes forward with an anonymous complaint. He also outlines what Congress has the authority to do regarding the complaint that President Trump pressed Ukraine’s president to investigate Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden.
“.. that inspector general is supposed to decide whether the complaint is credible or not, and that happened, the inspector general determined it to be credible. Then the inspector general is supposed to forward it to the Director of National Intelligence and he did that. At that point it’s supposed to be transmitted to Congress so that’s where the breakdown has happened.”
