AP, WASHINGTONUS Democratic lawmakers who reviewed a secret whistle-blower complaint involving US President Donald Trump on Wednesday called it “deeply disturbing” and said that it gives them new leads to pursue as they consider impeachment. Lawmakers were allowed to see the complaint the evening before Acting US Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire was set to testify to the US Congress about it. The White House released a rough transcript of that call on Wednesday morning. House Democrats emerging from a secure room would not divulge details of the complaint, but described it as disturbing and urgent. “Democrats ought not be using words like ‘impeach’ before they knew anything about the actual substance,” he added.
