With a wealth of first-hand testimony, Democrats have moved the impeachment on from the whistleblower's evidence. But the È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼ºÁö°©=È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼ºÁö°© È«Äá¸íǰ³²¼º½Å¹ß È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼º½Å¹ß president and other Republicans have worked to keep the whistleblower in the press.
In an audio recording that emerged in September, President Trump was heard comparing the whistleblower's sources to a "spy". Then in an apparent reference to the execution of spies by the US in the past, he said: "You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? With spies and treason, right? We ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® used to handle them a little differently than we do now."
According to reports in the Washington Post and the Guardian, the person named by right wing media as the whistleblower was receiving a spike in threats when the president tweeted about them, and was being driven to and from È«Äá¸íǰ°¡¹æ=È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼º½Ã°è È«Äá¸íǰ°¡¹æ È«Äá¸íǰÁö°© work by armed security officers following the threats.
How did the whistleblower become involved?
In August, the whistleblower filed a report expressing concern over a phone call a month earlier in which Mr Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, a Democratic front-runner for the 2020 õ¾È¿ø·ë US presidential election.
Democrats said the call transcript showed President Trump abusing the power of his office to pressure President Zelensky to damage a US Democratic political rival. President Trump defended the call, saying it was "perfect". He has dismissed the impeachment process as a "witch-hunt".
