A whistleblower complaint by an intelligence official about a promise made by President Donald Trump to a foreign leader involves Ukraine, The Washington Post reported Thursday evening.
The newspaper cited two people familiar with the matter whom it did not name. The Trump administration has withheld the details of the whistleblower report from Congress; though it was known that the complaint involved a foreign leader, the Post was the first to report the country involved.
The newspaper first reported this week that the complaint was by an intelligence officer troubled by a promise Trump had made during communication and interaction with a foreign leader.
A former U.S. intelligence official familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News Wednesday night that the whistleblower complaint involves a phone conversation that Trump had. NBC News has not independently confirmed that Ukraine is at the center of the issue. A request for comment from the White House was not immediately returned.
