President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence is refusing to turn over to Congress a whistleblower complaint that reportedly concerns Trump making an unspecified promise to a foreign leader. It’s a matter of urgent concern, the intelligence community’s inspector general said

Trump, though giving no details about any incident, denied on Thursday that he would ever “say something inappropriate” on such a call.

Schiff spoke to reporters after the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, appeared behind closed doors Thursday but declined to tell the panel the substance of the complaint. But the situation raised Democrats’ concerns that the intelligence community might be under pressure from the administration to withhold information from Congress.

While Atkinson wrote that he believed Maguire’s position was in “good faith” it did not appear to be consistent with past practice. Atkinson said he was told by the legal counsel for the director of national intelligence that the complaint did not meet the definition of an “urgent concern.” He said the Justice Department said it did not fall under the intelligence director’s jurisdiction because it did not involve an intelligence professional.

In issuing a subpoena for Maguire to appear, Schiff said the complaint had not been transmitted to Congress within 10 days “in violation of the law.”
