(Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Donald Trump can make his case directly to the Intelligence Committee, but she vowed to protect the whistle-blower whose complaint triggered the impeachment inquiry of the presidents actions with Ukraine.
The president could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants -- if he wants to take the oath of office or he could do it in writing, Pelosi said in a interview for CBSs Face the Nation broadcast Sunday. He has every opportunity to present his case.
Trump and Republicans in Congress have demanded that the whistle-blower be compelled to testify so that the president knows who made the accusations. Pelosi, in the interview recorded Friday, ruled out any steps that would expose the person who filed the complaint.
I will make sure he does not intimidate the whistle-blower, the California Democrat said. This is really important, especially when it comes to intelligence, that someone who would be courageous enough to point out truth to power and then through the filter of a Trump-appointed inspector general who found it of urgent concern...and then took it to the next steps.

(82,849 posts)When Schiff interrupted her testimony about how intimidating it was to be singled out by Trump, Yovanovitch confirmed in real time that it was intimidating. Had I been her, after Schiff read Trump's tweetrum, I would have said, "If the President wants to be sworn under oath and testify, I'd hear his words. Until then, I hear nothing."
