You do realize the whisleblower never heard the call or saw the transcript?

The whistle-blower's complaint needs to be released, too.

It's alleged that it covers more than just one phone call.

@beckyromero I think Trump is making a mistake here. The whistleblower law does not apply in this situation and this is setting a bad precedent for a President's ability to confer with other heads of state who are not going to want their private conversations released. Trump should have stood on executive privilege principles.

On the other hand, maybe he wants to release it.

House would have broad powers on obtaining any evidence it wants when conducting impeachments hearings. Nixon learned that lesson.

@beckyromero Broad powers, not unlimited powers
