‘Time For A New Special Counsel’: Veteran Law Enforcement Official Calls For Probe On Trump’s Talks With Ukraine

On Friday, former Justice Department official Michael Bromwich called for a formal investigation into Donald Trump’s communications with the Ukrainian president where a whistleblower sounded the alarm after Trump made certain “promises.”
“Time for a new Special Counsel,” Bromwich tweeted.
“A POTUS leaning on the newly elected president of a smallish country that’s vulnerable to Russia to do some dirty work to help POTUS’s re-election in exchange for military assistance approved by congress takes the breath away,” tweeted journalist Elizabeth Drew.

Bromwich went on to call on the intelligence community to “rise up in protest” of the Trump administration’s attempt to diminish the whistleblower complaint.
Interference by the acting DNI with transmitting the “urgent matter” to Congress is a violation of law and undermines the independence of IGs. The entire IG community should rise up in protest. https://t.co/eja2e08yzr
