On Tuesday, lawyer for the whistleblower, Andrew Bakaj, sent White House counsel Pat Cipollone a cease and desist letter telling Trump to back off his attacks on his client.
“I am writing out of deep concern that your client, the President of the United States, is engaging in rhetoric and activity that places my client, the Intelligence Community Whistleblower, and their family in physical danger.”
I am writing to respectfully request that you counsel your client on the legal and ethical peril in which he is placing himself should anyone be physically harmed as a result of his, or his surrogates’, behavior.”
