Whistleblower complaint on Trump-Ukraine call declassified, contains 'no surprises,' GOP lawmaker says
Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart announced on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" and on social media late Wednesday that the explosive whistleblower complaint concerning President Trump's July call with Ukraine's leader has been declassified -- and Stewart said that it doesn't contain any damning information. "The entirety of it is focused on this one thing, and that's the transcript of one phone call," he said. Stewart added that he was initially "anxious" before viewing the complaint but concluded "this is going to go nowhere. ... there are just no surprises there."

Stewart was among bipartisan select group of intelligence committee lawmakers in the House and Senate who gained access to the whistleblower complaint in a classified setting on Wednesday. House Democrats emerging from a secure room would not divulge details of the document, but described it as disturbing and urgent. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said it "exposed serious wrongdoing." The complaint was not immediately available to the public but was expected to be released Thursday morning. Click here for more on our top story.
