CBS News has learned the full contents of what appears to be a memo written by the whistleblower one day after President Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July.
The memo, dated July 26, is based on a conversation the whistleblower had with an unnamed White House official who listened to the call.
According to a source familiar with the matter, the memo was among the factors that led the intelligence community inspector general to determine the whistleblower's formal August 12 complaint was credible. The inspector general testified Friday behind closed doors before the three House committee leading the impeachment inquiry.
The president's call with Zelensky was held on the morning of July 25. The whistleblower wrote the memo the next day after speaking with the official in the afternoon. The whistleblower wrote that he or she spoke with the White House official for "a few minutes," and summarized their conversation.
According to the memo, the White House official described the contents of the call as "crazy," "frightening" and "completely lacking in substance related to national security."
The whistleblower said the official was "visibly shaken by what had transpired and seemed keen to inform a trusted colleague within the U.S. national security apparatus about the call."
The whistleblower's summary of the White House official's account of the call largely comports with the call record released by the White House, though some details are missing.

Is the recent report that the “whistleblower” who was professionally tied to one of this year’s Dim presidential candidates THIS “whistleblower” or does it concern “whistleblower #2”?
RE: The official described the call as crazy, frightening and completely lacking in substance related to national security.
Why should a congratulatory call to a newly elected leader ALL be related to “substance related to national security”?
It was a CONGRATULATORY CALL, not a national security meeting. Supposed they talked about golf, or their grand kids, those things are not allowed?
This memo is a fraud.
Please God Almighty, let us see the Deep State actors all charged, tried and convicted.
There was a time when ordinary people.. even walter cronkite when on TV, told the truth.. lying was beneath them. So was disrespect and being rude.
Today, if the dems want to find someone who will trash Trump.. there is a line out there of willing haters. They will make up any type story you’d want.. just pay for their time. Lying by the media.. by so many.. if the dems want to accuse Trump with witnesses... lying whistle blowers.... they are a dime a dozen... and don’t blink an eye over doing that to our President!!
Lying was a criminal offense in my house... and I and my sons are the weird ones.. we tell the truth. Of course, we are considered guilty with all the rest... but it’s not in me to do what the dems do and the media.
I don’t use that word either. . but it’s become a common cuss word for too many. Ya get used to using it.. I don’t get used to hearing it. and the lying that permeates society today... I can’t get used to it either.
I have a guy in mind. He sports a big, white mustache and is quite insane.
FROM THE MEMO: in the officials view, the President had clearly committed a criminal act by urging a foreign power to investigate a U.S. person for the purposes of advancing his own reelection bid in 2020.
Well that’s HIS view.
What about this other view -— a possible corrupt act was perpetrated by a former Vice President that MUST BE INVESTIGATED and not doing so would be a dereliction of duty on the President’s part since he is sworn to uphold the law.
The fact that the U.S. person (Biden) was running for President is IMMATERIAL.
This “opinion” of the official is what makes for an impeachable offense?
I still am finding this bloody amazing considering Zelensky himself said there was no pressure applied.
So how does this idiocy still have life at all???
Does anyone else find it curious that the ICIG reads a memo from the same second-hand source as the complaint, and based on the dual accounts from the same second-hand source decides it’s credible, despite the President not being remotely within the jurisdiction of the ICIG?
The ICIG is criminally incompetent, and that is the BEST scenario.
RE: There was a time when ordinary people.. even walter cronkite when on TV, told the truth.. lying was beneath them. So was disrespect and being rude.
Is this the same Cronkite who told America that the USA has lost the war in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive even as we were bombing the Vietcong’s to kingdom come and crippling their military?
Yes!!
Because the US Democrat Fascist party, and their slavish lapdogs at Fox/ABC/NBC/CBS etc having nothing at all to run with against Trump.
Is it the memo or is it “as described”?
So far, the only one who has been named as having been in the room with the President at the time of the call is SOS Pompeo. And since new documents show that the Ukraine had already reopened the Hunter Biden probe months before the President’s phone call, these so-called complaints are null and void.
