Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said this week that he thinks the whistleblower who filed a complaint, accusing President Donald Trump of improper conduct during a call with Ukraine, should “come forward.”

“Ultimately, if someone’s going to accuse you of something that’s going to bring down a presidency, I think we deserve to know who that person is,” Paul said while speaking to local leaders at the Purchase Area Development District building on Oct. 1, reported WPSD Local 6.
