Schiff: Whistleblower will give 'unfiltered' testimony 'very soon'

House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday said the whistleblower who filed a complaint about President Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will testify in the House "very soon."

Schiff told ABC News they are waiting on the whistleblower's attorneys to receive security clearances. One of those attorneys, Mark S. Zaid, tweeted on Sunday that his team is working with both parties in the House and Senate "and we understand all agree that protecting whistleblower's identity is paramount." They are still coordinating details, he added, and no date or time has been set.

Schiff said the whistleblower will give their "unfiltered testimony," and lawmakers are "taking all the precautions" to protect their identity.
