  • Story Text: Michael Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community whose communication to Congress unveiled the concerns of an anonymous whistleblower and resulted in an ongoing imbroglio involving U.S. President Donald Trump, the government of Ukraine, and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was set to brief the House Intelligence Committee on Friday (October 4) what he knows.
    Members of the committee were summoned to cut short their recess and return to Washington from their home districts for the interview with Atkinson, who had determined the whistleblower's complaint raised issues of "urgent concern."
