Trump is attacking the whistleblower as a “political hack” and a “spy.” But we have the whistleblower’s back.

Dear Friend,

Donald Trump is trying survive the Ukraine scandal by declaring war on whistleblowers. We've got to stop him.

Here's the latest news: He attacked the White House whistleblower as a “political hack” and openly suggested the death penalty for the whistleblower's sources. His allies on Fox News are going all-out to smear and intimidate the whistleblower and others who are thinking of coming forward.

Now, just like Edward Snowden, the White House whistleblower has been forced into hiding for personal safety.

Demand Progress has fought for whistleblower rights for years, and we need to have the White House whistleblower's back now.

Will you donate to help defend the White House whistleblower and hold Turmp accountable?

The abuses of power detailed in the whistleblower complaint are textbook examples of high crimes and misdemeanors. Trump and the Republicans know that the only way they can escape accountability is to attack the source of information—and that's exactly what they're doing.

Fox News and Republicans on Capitol Hill are attempting to undermine public confidence in the whisteblower by alleging bogus "inconsistencies" in the complaint.1

The White House whistleblower knew that calling out Trump would trigger this this barrage of attacks from the president of the United States. And the whistleblower came forward anyway, risking loss of career, reputation, and potentially even their freedom.

To help defend the White House whistleblower, we need to hold Congressional Republicans and Trump himself accountable for these massive abuses of power. Demand Progress has long fought to protect whistleblowers—from Chelsea Manning to Edward Snowden to Reality Winner, we always stand up for those who stand up to corruption and lawbreaking. But we can't do it without your help.

Will you make a donation to help defend the White House whistleblowers and all patriotic government workers speaking out against corruption?

Yes, I’ll donate to help defend the White House whistleblower.

Thanks for standing with us.
