Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote a letter to dozens of inspectors general across the U.S. government to protect whistleblowers after President Donald Trump fired a National Security Council (NSC) staffer who had testified in the impeachment inquiry last year.
“These attacks are part of a dangerous, growing pattern of retaliation against those who report wrongdoing only to find themselves targeted by the President and subject to his wrath and vindictiveness,” Schumer wrote in his letter.
