Newly declassified transcripts from the Intelligence Community’s then-inspector general show that the whistleblower whose complaint triggered President Donald Trump’s first impeachment had prior contact with congressional Democrats before filing the allegation, a newly-surfaced and damning detail that was not disclosed in the official complaint form.

The records, released Monday following declassification by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the House Intelligence Committee, shed new light on the origins of the August 2019 complaint centered on Trump’s July 25, 2019, phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That phone call centered on Trump requesting that Zelensky look into the business dealings of Hunter Biden in Ukraine.
