Whistleblower attorneys push back on claims their client is partisan — FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks on the phone with Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington.

The practice has raised concern about the security and secrecy of the U.S. commander-in-chief's communications. | (Alex Brandon/AP)
