This resolution would express the sense of the House of Representatives that the Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) should immediately remedy the executive branch’s continuing violation of rules that require complaints detailing credible urgent concerns to Congress. It would also express the House’s sense that the Acting DNI Director should, through the Inspector General, give the whistleblower in the August 12, 2019, complaint any necessary direction on how to contact Congressional intelligence committees directly and in accordance with appropriate security practices.

Additionally, this resolution would express the sense of the House that the Acting DNI Director must immediately comply in full with the subpoena issued on September 13, 2019 compelling them to product the complaint and accompanying materials, the IG’s credibility determination, and other relevant records to the relevant Congressional committees.

To protect the whistleblower and other people who might have knowledge about the complaint’s allegations, this resolution would also express the House’s sense that the Acting DNI Director should immediately take public action to ensure these people’s safety and protect them from threats of reprisal.

This resolution would also express the House’s sense that the Acting DNI Director, Dept. of Justice (DOJ), and the White House must immediately preserve all records, documents, communications, and other information that might relate to the complaint. This would include information on the decision to withhold the complaint from the Congressional intelligence committees.

Finally, this resolution would express the sense of the House that President Donald Trump, his associates, and senior administration officials must immediately stop their public efforts to discredit the whistleblower and others who may have knowledge about the complaint’s allegations.
