Trump Tells Susan Collins ‘I Hope You Are Listening’ in Rant Calling for ‘Whistleblower Racket’ to Be Looked at Closely – By Jacob Jarvis (Newsweek) / May 18 2020
President Donald Trump has called for what he branded a “whistleblower racket” to be “looked at very closely,” flagging his issue to Senate Intelligence Committee member Susan Collins.
The president made the comments as he lashed out at Dr. Rick Bright after a CBS News 60 Minutes interview with the former top health official was aired.
Trump accused the show of putting on a “fake” whistleblower, branding Bright a “disgruntled employee who supports Dems.”
“This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very closely, it is causing great injustice & harm,” he tweeted. “I hope you are listening @SenSusanCollins.”
Newsweek has contacted Collins (R-ME) for comment.
“We don't yet have a national strategy to respond fully to this pandemic,” says government scientist Rick Bright, who filed a whistleblower complaint charging the government’s response to coronavirus has been slow and chaotic. https://t.co/U1L3I1AiXS pic.twitter.com/AdEI5ZUQwp
