Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., vowed to expose the anonymous whistleblowers against President Trump if Democrats move forward with impeachment; at the same time, he warned against Trump having China pursue an investigation of Joe Biden.
A second unidentified whistleblower was confirmed Sunday morning, reportedly with firsthand information to support some of the allegations another whistleblower made in a complaint filed in August regarding a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Heres whats going to happen: if the whistleblowers allegations are turned into an impeachment article its imperative that the whistleblower be interviewed in public, under oath, and cross-examined, Graham told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures, promising that if that doesnt happen in the House, Ill make sure it happens in the Senate.

Senator Lindsey Graham just vowed to break US federal law, which states that all intel community whistleblowers are ENTITLED to anonymity. There is no law they will not break in the Trump cult.

(43,049 posts)trials usually are. Not that impeachment trials have to follow the usual rules of evidence or custom.
I don't believe the question has been answered, since we've only had 2 presidential impeachment trials. Maybe other impeachments, like judges, have a precedent.

(115,836 posts)A person has the right to confront witnesses in a criminal trial per the 6th Amendment, but this isn't a criminal proceeding. Furthermore, the WB's identity is protected by a specific statute. No way is Trump's leg-humper going to be able to force him/her to testify in an impeachment trial.
