Trump appointed him but there’s no evidence he changed anything related to this complaint.
Well, someone is responsible for changing the whistleblower requirements to allow hearsay from the prior first-hand requirement. Its been implied from what I've read (The Federalist, for one) that such changes have to be authorized by either the ICIG or someone very high up in the Intelligence agnecies. Who? And, if the ICIG had nothing to do with it, why didn't he note the change from prior practice in his comments on the matter?
