A second whistleblower has come forward with information about U.S. President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine, adding to the impeachment peril engulfing the White House and potentially providing new leads to Democrats in their unfurling investigation of Trump's conduct.

Attorney Mark Zaid, who represents both whistleblowers, said the second person has spoken to the intelligence community's internal watchdog and can corroborate information in the original whistleblower complaint. That document alleged that Trump pushed Ukraine's president to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's family, prompting a White House coverup.

Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said word of a second whistleblower indicates a larger shift inside the government. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of Trump's most vocal backers, provided perhaps the strongest defence of the president. He said there was nothing wrong with Trump's July conversation with Zelenskiy and that the accusation look like a "political setup."

"The Democrats are lucky that they don't have any Mitt Romney types," Trump wrote, painting the 2012 GOP presidential nominee as a traitor to his party. Romney tweeted recently that Trump's "brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine" for an investigation of Biden is "wrong and appalling."

Funny!! The transcript of the call was released. Who gives a shit what ANYONE SAYS. So bloody goofy 🤡🤡

I bet he's getting scared know

Wrong! Read the bloody Transcript from the phone call. They could come up with 50 more who cares. The first try Adam Schiff lied along with the leaker (not whistleblower) and he or she lied on the forms for a whistleblower.
