CNN anchor John King said he thought Republicans were bringing up a “legitimate point” when they wanted to question the whistleblower.

“Call that a political stunt, Rand Paul would say it’s a principled argument,” King said Thursday about the GOP Kentucky senator’s attempts to question the whistleblower. “Republicans make a good point. The whistleblower started all of this. Why has the whistleblower never been questioned? Shouldn’t the House Democrats have found a secure way to do that? It’s a legitimate point of debate as we go through this.”
