"I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election," the whistleblower wrote.

"Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, sharply criticized Gabbard's referral and defended the 2019 whistleblower, whom he said "demonstrated courage and principle" in bringing to light Mr. Trump's "efforts to extort Ukraine and falsely smear his opponent."

"This apparent criminal referral will amount to nothing because no misconduct occurred, but what it will do is chill future whistleblowers from coming forward to Congress with confidence that the law will protect them. I suspect that is precisely the point," Himes said in a statement."
