Axios reports:
White House senior adviser Stephen Miller claimed on “Fox News Sunday” that the whistleblower who filed a complaint about President Trump’s interactions with Ukraine is a “deep state operative” who does not deserve to be honored for forwarding a “partisan hit job.”
Reality check: Miller has no evidence of who the whistleblower is. He also cited the intelligence community inspector general’s finding that the whistleblower displayed “arguable political bias,” but dismissed the IG’s assessment that the complaint was “credible” — which has also been backed up by acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
