Excerpts from article:
...Senators are reviving the fight over the whistleblower complaint at the center of the months-long impeachment effort against.
...The renewed interest in speaking with the whistleblower comes after committee staff and lawyers for the individual hit a stalemate late last year over potential questioning.
...The prospect of calling the whistleblower to speak with the committee has been talked up most recently not by a member of the panel but by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, a close ally of the president's.
...The Intelligence Committee investigation, senators stress, isn't about the identity of the whistleblower who helped spark the impeachment inquiry, but instead reviewing how the complaint was drafted, submitted and subsequently handled by the administration.
..."I don't know who the whistleblower is. I haven't met them or communicated with them in any way. The committee staff did not write the complaint or coach the whistleblower what to put in the complaint. The committee staff did not see the complaint before it was submitted to the inspector general," Schiff told senators during the impeachment trial.
