WASHINGTON ¨C The whistleblower who reported concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s July 25 call with Ukraine¡¯s president should be heard out and their identity protected,¡± Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a statement on Tuesday.
¡°This person appears to have followed the whistleblower protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected. We should always work to respect whistleblowers¡¯ requests for confidentiality,¡± Grassley said. ¡°No one should be making judgments or pronouncements without hearing from the whistleblower first and carefully following up on the facts.¡±
