Congressional Republicans yet again seem to be holding President Trump to a different standard than pretty much anyone else. They're currently insisting the Ukraine whistleblower testify in person for Congress, but had no problem when Trump refused to do the same for former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
In September, the whistleblower raised concerns about Trump's call with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and how Trump seemingly said he'd withhold aid from the country unless it investigated the Bidens. That sparked an impeachment inquiry into Trump, where the whistleblower is expected to testify in some capacity.
