Senate Republicans divided over whether whistleblower should testify
Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee are divided over whether they need to hear from the whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.
While the House Intelligence Committee has been leading high-profile, near-daily depositions with former and current administration officials, the Senate panel is quietly investigating the whistleblower process and how the complaint was handled.
But the GOP senators on the committee are split over whether the whistleblower who filed the complaint, which the intelligence community inspector general deemed an "urgent concern," needs to meet with lawmakers behind closed doors.
Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) told The Hill last week he "absolutely" wants to hear from the whistleblower, arguing the individual is a crucial part of understanding the process behind the complaint.
