唐纳德·特朗普总统暗示，对他与外国领导人的沟通提出投诉的政府告密者是一名“党派”民主党人，尽管实际上并不知道此人是谁。

特朗普周五在椭圆形办公室会见澳大利亚总理斯科特·莫里森时，与记者讨论了告密者的指控。总统称整个局势为“政治黑客工作”和“荒谬的故事”。

特朗普声称，“这是一个党派告密者”。“他们甚至不应该有信息。我已经和许多领导人谈过了。它们总是合适的。”

总统接着补充说，“我不知道告密者的身份。我只是听说这是一个党派人士，意思是它来自另一个党派。”

举报者的投诉引发了特朗普政府和国会之间的僵局，因为民主党议员辩称，白宫不交出信息是违法的。

众议院议长南希·佩洛西周五介入争论，呼吁国家情报局局长“维护法律”，并向国会提供所有相关细节。

佩洛西告诉美国有线电视新闻网:“法律规定，DNI应该向国会发送信息，而不是应该向国会发送信息。”。“所以法律就是法律。所以，我们只需要维护法律。”

告密者的投诉最初是由华盛顿邮报星期三。该报报道称，情报部门的一名官员对特朗普向外国领导人做出的“承诺”感到非常不安，以至于他们决定向监察长提出正式投诉。该报告没有提供任何关于该信函内容或该官员来自哪个国家的细节。

监察长认为投诉可信，并展开了调查，但国家情报局局长约瑟夫·马奎尔迄今拒绝与国会分享投诉的细节。

随后双方都报告了这一情况张贴还有纽约时报周四，告密者抱怨特朗普与乌克兰的谈判。总统的一些最大支持者，包括他的私人律师鲁迪·朱利安尼，已经向乌克兰政府施压，要求对像乔·拜登和希拉里·克林顿这样的政治对手展开调查。

朱利安尼周四晚向美国有线电视新闻网主持人克里斯·科莫承认，他“当然”要求乌克兰官员调查拜登。在他告诉有线电视新闻网主持人他从未要求他们做这样的事情后仅仅30秒，他就坦白了。

特朗普在周五早上的一系列推文中抨击了媒体对告密者的报道。他声称“激进的左翼民主党人和他们的虚假新闻媒体伙伴”又“开始了”

“他们认为我可能与某个外国领导人进行了基于‘高度党派’告密者声明的‘冒险’对话，”他在推特上写道。“奇怪的是，有这么多其他人听到或知道这种完美的、礼貌的谈话，他们也不会站出来。”

特朗普补充道:“你知道他们没有这么做的原因吗？因为没有说错什么，它是完美的！”
 

DONALD TRUMP SUGGESTS WHISTLEBLOWER IS 'PARTISAN' DEMOCRAT BUT THEN CONCEDES HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY KNOW THEIR IDENTITY

President Donald Trump suggested that the government whistleblower who filed a complaint about his communication with a foreign leader was a "partisan" Democrat despite not actually knowing who the person is.

Trump was meeting with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday in the Oval Office when he discussed the whistleblower's allegations with reporters. The president called the entire situation a "political hack job" and a "ridiculous story."

"It's a partisan whistleblower," Trump claimed. "They shouldn't even have information. I've had conversations with many leaders. They're always appropriate."

The president then added that "I don't know the identity of the whistleblower. I just hear it's a partisan person, meaning it comes out from another party."

The whistleblower complaint has triggered a standoff between the Trump administration and Congress as Democratic lawmakers argue that the White House is breaking the law by not turning over the information.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped into the fray on Friday and called for the director of national intelligence to "uphold the law" and provide Congress with all the relevant details.

"Well, the law says that the DNI should send the information, shall, not should, shall send that information to Congress," Pelosi told CNN. "So the law is the law. So, we just have to uphold the law."

The whistleblower complaint was first revealed by The Washington Post on Wednesday. The paper reported that an official in the intelligence community was so troubled by a "promise" Trump made to a foreign leader that they decided to file a formal complaint with the inspector general. The report provided zero details about what the communication was about or what country the official was from.

The inspector general deemed the complaint credible and opened an inquiry, but the Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire has so far refused to share details about the complaint with Congress.

It was then reported by both the Post and the New York Times on Thursday that the whistleblower complaint was about Trump's talks with Ukraine. Some of the president's top supporters, including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, have pressed the Ukranian government to open investigations into political rivals like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Giuliani admitted to CNN host Chris Cuomo on Thursday night that he "of course" he asked Ukranian officials to investigate Biden. The confession came a mere 30 seconds after he told the CNN host that he never asked them to do such a thing.

Trump ripped the media for publishing reports on the whistleblower in a series of tweets on Friday morning. He claimed that the "Radical Left Democrats and their Fake News Media partners" were "at it again!"

"They think I may have had a 'dicey' conversation with a certain foreign leader based on a 'highly partisan' whistleblowers statement," he tweeted. "Strange that with so many other people hearing or knowing of the perfectly fine and respectful conversation, that they would not have also come forward."

Trump added: "Do you know the reason why they did not? Because there was nothing said wrong, it was pitch perfect!"
