President Trump’s campaign on Thursday slammed a whistleblower’s complaint that he pressured Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, calling it a “hoax” being pushed by the “fake news media.”

“This whistleblower complaint is an even bigger hoax than the Russia delusion. It’s built on second-hand information echoed by the biased fake news media. We now know that this account was cobbled together by a partisan bureaucrat with ‘no direct knowledge,’ represented by an attorney for Hillary Clinton and donor to Joe Biden’s campaign,” spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement.

“Democrats are trying to block the inevitable re-election of President Trump because they know they can’t beat him fair and square at the ballot box.“

The House Intelligence Committee released a redacted version of the whistleblower‘s complaint ahead of testimony from Joseph Maguire, the acting director of national intelligence.

Maguire acknowledged that the complaint alleged serious wrongdoing by the president but insisted that it was not his role to judge whether the allegations were credible.

But he praised the whistleblower as having acted in good faith, saying that person immediately knew the complaint was sensitive and important.

The White House and Trump also blasted the complaint earlier in the day.
