President Trump on Thursday accused the White House officials who relayed information to the whistleblower at the center of the Ukraine controversy of being “close to a spy.”
Trump dismissed the charges in the complaint, arguing that the whistleblower didn’t listen in on the July 25 phone call in which he allegedly pressured the leader of Ukraine to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden over unsubstantiated allegations of corruption.
“Basically, that person never saw the report, never saw the call, he never saw the call — heard something and decided that he or she or whoever the hell they saw — they’re almost a spy,” Trump said, according to the L.A. Times.
“I want to know who’s the person, who’s the person who gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy,” he continued. “You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”
