President Donald Trump was told that a whistleblower had filed a complaint about his call with the leader of Ukraine several weeks before he unfroze nearly $400 million in military aid to the country, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The Times noted that it’s unclear how much of the complaint the president knew about before he released the funds. The Times, which cited two people familiar with Trump’s knowledge of the call, noted two White House lawyers told the president a whistleblower had accused him of wrongdoing in late August. “As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes. It was no secret.”Many administration officials with direct knowledge of the demands, however, have refused to testify as the White House has moved to resist demands it comply with the House inquiry.
