Amid reports that the whistleblower has offered to answer questions anonymously and in writing President Trump demanded that the whistleblower testify.
According to The Hill:
The Whistleblower gave false information & dealt with corrupt politician Schiff. He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable! Where is the 2nd Whistleblower? He disappeared after I released the transcript. Does he even exist? Where is the informant? Con!

President Trump on Monday demanded that the anonymous whistleblower who raised an alarm about his contacts with Ukraine testify.
Trump said it was “not acceptable” for the whistleblower to answer written questions from Republican lawmakers in connection with the House impeachment inquiry, as his attorneys communicated was on the table on Sunday. And he claimed without evidence that the whistleblower gave “false information.”
The president also referenced revelations that the whistleblower contacted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) committee for guidance before filing the complaint, calling the top Democrat “corrupt.”
Trump has long accused the whistleblower of providing a misleading account of his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and highlighted that the complaint relied on second-hand accounts of other people.
As the Democrats try to control the information being given to the public relating to the whistleblower and impeachment President Trump has decided to go on the offensive to counter them.
