第二名告密者被描述为情报官员，他对唐纳德·特朗普总统提出了更多指控，并指控他出于政治目的与乌克兰进行交易。
第一个揭发特朗普7月份与乌克兰总统沃洛迪米尔·泽兰斯基通电话的告密者的律师现在表示，还有第二个情报官员将证实9月26日发布的最初7页的投诉。马克·扎伊德告诉美国广播公司新闻，他所代表的第二个举报者对第一个举报者的一些指控有第一手的了解，可能会削弱特朗普一再声称的“完全不准确”的说法。
扎伊德说，第二个告密者已经接受了情报部门监察长迈克尔·阿特金森的采访，他一直在调查乌克兰最初的投诉。这位律师说，两位情报官员都受到旨在保护告密者免遭报复的法律的全面保护。
周五，《纽约时报》首次报道称，第二名告密者将对特朗普与乌克兰的交易提出投诉。第一个告密者声称，六名以上的美国官员掌握的信息与特朗普从外国政府寻求前副总统乔·拜登和他的儿子亨特的丑闻的交换调查有关。 白宫上个月公布的一份7月25日的通话记录显示，特朗普呼吁乌克兰总统“帮忙”，似乎要求交换军事援助，以调查拜登家族。根据联邦选举委员会的说法，政治家或任何类型的民选官员在美国选举中从外国国民那里获得有价值的东西都是非法的。
美国有线电视新闻网的杰克·塔珀也证实，第二个告密者已经站出来提供特朗普涉嫌与乌克兰交易的信息。
特朗普本人似乎在周六晚间的推特上发出了第二个告密者即将出现的信号，称这是民主党人和众议院情报委员会主席国会议员亚当·希夫(Adam Schiff)的绝望举动。
“第一个所谓的二手信息‘告密者’让我的电话交谈几乎完全出错，所以现在有消息说他们要出庭作证，另一个‘告密者’正从深州赶来，也带着二手信息。见见西弗蒂。让他们来，”总统说。
特朗普一再否认第一个告密者是有偏见的，也是民主党的策略，他在9月29日发推特说:“像每个美国人一样，我应该见见我的原告，尤其是当这个原告，所谓的‘告密者’，以完全不准确和欺诈的方式代表了与外国领导人的完美对话。”

唐纳德·特朗普总统于2019年9月24日在纽约联合国大会上对媒体发表讲话。在特朗普指控乌克兰总统对乔·拜登及其儿子进行调查后，众议院发起了正式的弹劾调查。
周日上午，随着第二名告密者的报道开始浮出水面，特朗普转发了一名前记者的声明，称他正被情报界“诬陷”。特朗普还回击了包括米特罗姆尼(Mitt Romney)在内的共和党同僚，指责他们没有盲目支持自己的主张。保罗·斯佩里(Paul Sperry)在《特朗普转发》中写道:“一旦选民们明白特朗普是由像2016年告密者那样的情报机构建立和陷害的，并被错误地指控为俄罗斯特工，那么弹劾就会被视为掩盖其行踪的政治政变。”。
更新:白宫发表了一份关于周日下午第二个告密者的声明:“不管有多少人决定就同一通电话称自己为告密者——总统已经公开了这个电话——这并不能改变他没有做错什么的事实。”

SECOND TRUMP-UKRAINE WHISTLEBLOWER COMES FORWARD WITH FIRSTHAND ACCUSATIONS, ATTORNEY SAYS
A second whistleblower, described as an intelligence official, has come forward with additional accusations against President Donald Trump and allegations of quid pro quo dealings with Ukraine for political purposes.
The attorney for the first whistleblower who unearthed Trump's July phone calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky now said there is a second intelligence official set to corroborate the original 7-page complaint released September 26. Mark Zaid told ABC News that the second whistleblower he is representing has firsthand knowledge of some of the allegations made by the first and can undermine Trump's repeated claims it was "totally inaccurate."
Zaid said the second whisteblower has been interviewed by Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who has been investigating the initial Ukraine complaint. The attorney said both intelligence officials have the full protection of the law aimed at protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.

The attorney said both intelligence officials have the full protection of the law aimed at protecting whistleblowers from retaliation.
On Friday, The New York Times first reported that the second whistleblower was set to come forward with a complaint regarding Trump's dealings with Ukraine. The first whistleblower claimed more than a half-dozen U.S. officials have information tied to the quid pro quo investigation of Trump seeking dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter from foreign governments.
A July 25 transcript of a call released by the White House last month showed Trump calling in a "favor" from the Ukrainian president and seemingly requesting an exchange of military aid for an investigation into the Biden family. It is illegal for politicians or elected officials of any kind to receive something of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election, according to the Federal Election Commission.
CNN's Jake Tapper also confirmed the second whistleblower has come forward to provide information about Trump's alleged dealings with Ukraine.
Trump himself appeared to signal a second whistleblower was set to come forth in a Saturday night tweet, labeling it a desperate move by Democrats and Congressman Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
"The first so-called second hand information 'Whistleblower' got my phone conversation almost completely wrong, so now word is they are going to the bench and another "Whistleblower" is coming in from the Deep State, also with second hand info. Meet with Shifty. Keep them coming," the president remarked.
Trump has repeatedly dismissed the first whistleblower as biased and a Democratic Party ploy, tweeting September 29: "Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called 'Whistleblower,' represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way."
President Donald Trump speaks to the media at the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly on September 24, 2019 in New York City. The House of Representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry following allegations that Trump pressured Ukraine's president to investigate Joe Biden and his son.
On Sunday morning, as reports of the second whistleblower began surfacing, Trump retweeted a former journalist's claims he is being "framed" by the intelligence community. Trump also responded by lashing out at fellow Republicans including Mitt Romney for not blindly supporting his claims. "Once voters understand that Trump was set up and framed by intelligence ops like the whistleblower in 2016, falsely accused of being a Russian agent, then impeachment will be seen for what it is -- a political putsch to cover their tracks," wrote Paul Sperry in the Trump retweet.
Update: The White House issued a statement regarding the second whistleblower coming forward Sunday afternoon: "It doesn't matter how many people decide to call themselves whistleblowers about the same telephone call--a call the President already made public--it doesn't change the fact that he has done nothing wrong."
