President Trump, who just yesterday claimed the whistleblower had only “secondhand information,” now says the information may have been completely made up.
Tweeted Trump: “Sounding more and more like the so-called Whistleblower isn’t a Whistleblower at all. In addition, all second hand information that proved to be so inaccurate that there may not have even been somebody else, a leaker or spy, feeding it to him or her? A partisan operative?”
