This morning, Joseph Maguire will be testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, regarding his decision not to release the whistleblower's complaint about questionable- and possibly impeachable- activities by the president and close advisors.
Maguire is the current Director of the
National Counterterrorism Center. He retired from the United States Navy as a Vice Admiral in 2010 after 36 years of military service.
The committee is expected to ask Macquire why he refused to release to congressional intelligence committees the report of the independent inspector general,
Michael Atkinson, who
deemed it "credible and urgent."
Under mounting pressure from both parties, the Trump administration backed down on Wednesday and handed copies of the complaint to House and Senate intelligence committees.
