The Trump administration’s announcement this week that it would rescind the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials was hardly an isolated act.

The Trump administration says it's revoking the security clearances of 37 current and former national security officials.

A former FBI agent and Pentagon contractor has sued the founder of a conservative nonprofit known for its hidden camera stings.

A prominent Washington attorney has sued the Trump administration over the revocation of his security clearance, calling it an act of “improper political retribution” that jeopardizes his ability to continue representing clients in sensitive national security cases.

President Donald Trump says his administration will move to revoke the security clearances of the more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.”.

President Donald Trump looks on as Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) speaks during a campaign rally at the Rupp Arena on Nov. 4, 2019, in Lexington, Kentucky. (CNN) - Republican Sen. Rand Paul, before a raucous crowd on Monday, demanded members of the media print the identity of the anonymous whistleblower at the heart of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine. "I say tonight to the media: do your job and print his name," Paul, a Kentucky Republican, yelled during a rally Trump held in support of Republican Gov. The crowd of Trump supporters, many donning "READ THE TRANSCRIPT" shirts, erupted into applause and cheers, and some chanted "Do your job!" CNN's Manu Raju, Jeremy Herb, Lauren Fox, Phil Mattingly, Paul LeBlanc, Jamie Crawford, Chandelis Duster and Marshall Cohen contributed to this report.

The whistleblower previously offered to answer lawmakers' questions under oath and in writing if they were submitted by the House Intelligence Committee as a whole. The lawyer continued: "We have offered to @DevinNunes, Ranking HPSCI Member, opportunity for Minority to submit through legal team written questions to WBer. Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said Sunday that written answers from the whistleblower are not sufficient, and said lawmakers need to hear from the whistleblower in person. "Written answers will not provide a sufficient opportunity to probe all the relevant facts and cross examine the so-called Whistleblower. In October, Republicans on committees leading the impeachment inquiry sent a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff demanding he bring the whistleblower in to testify publicly.

(CNN) - The legal team representing the whistleblower who ignited the impeachment investigation has received death threats that have led to at least one law enforcement investigation, according to a source familiar with the situation. The FBI deemed the threat not to be credible after meeting with the individual who sent it, the source said. "There have been a myriad of disturbing emails and voicemails sent to the legal team, with a few select messages crossing the line enough into direct threats of harm that have resulted in follow up from relevant law enforcement entities," according to the source. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the threats had led to at least one law enforcement probe. As Democratic lawmakers conduct a steady stream of closed-door depositions as part of the impeachment inquiry, Zaid, along with Andrew Bakaj, who is also on the whistleblower's legal team, have argued there is no need for their client to testify in person.

Speaking to CNN Business, Zaid said he sighed and shook his head when he saw the segment. "It's a distorted, incomplete correction by omission," Zaid told CNN Business. After his tweet, Zaid told CNN Business a member of The Daily Caller reached out to him. "When you have someone like Sean Hannity putting out false information and the President tweeting it, it makes a difference," Zaid told CNN Business. Despite all this, Zaid told CNN Business that nothing has caught him off guard.

Getty Images(CNN) - The lawyer for the first intelligence whistleblower who came forward with accusations concerning President Donald Trump and his interactions with Ukraine said Sunday he is representing a second whistleblower regarding the President's actions. Attorney Mark Zaid confirmed to CNN that he and other lawyers on his team are now representing the second person. The initial whistleblower's complaint alleged the President abused his official powers "to solicit interference" from Ukraine in the upcoming 2020 election, and that the White House took steps to cover it up. The New York Times reported Friday that a second intelligence official with concerns and more direct knowledge regarding Trump's dealings with Ukraine was considering filing a whistleblower complaint. Zaid told CNN he didn't know if the second whistleblower he is representing is the same person referenced in the Times report.
