The declassified version of the whistleblower complaint details the government insider's worries about Trump's contacts with Ukraine's leader, revelations of which on Tuesday triggered a formal impeachment inquiry against the president.

The complainant said "multiple White House officials with direct knowledge" described to the whistleblower the details of the July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, including that "the President used the remainder of the call to advance his personal interests. Namely, he sought to pressure the Ukrainian leader to take actions to help the President’s 2020 reelection bid."

In the complaint, the whistleblower, who is unnamed and whose identity remains unknown, states that they had received information from multiple government officials that the president was "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign government in the 2020 U.S. election."

The Aug. 12 complaint says that over the past four months, more than half a dozen U.S. officials had told them of "various facts related to the affair."

While the whistleblower says they were not a direct witness, the whistleblower found the accounts of colleagues to be credible.

The complainant said "multiple White House officials with direct knowledge" described to the whistleblower the details of the Zelensky phone call.

According to the nine-page complaint, the White House officials were “deeply disturbed by what had transpired in the phone call” and White House lawyers were consulted out of concern that the president used his office for his own personal gain.

The whistleblower complaint says that there were approximately a dozen officials in the room during the phone call, which Trump made from the White House situation room. The officials included a mix of policy officials and duty officers, the complaint said, and participation was not reduced because it was seen as a "routine" call.

The whistleblower said that they were told that senior White House officials intervened to “lock down” records of the phone call, and that White House officials were directed by White House lawyers to remove the electronic transcript from the computer system where they are customarily stored and put onto a separate system “that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an especially sensitive nature.”

Revelations about the phone call have led dozens of Democrats to come out in support of impeachment.

The nine-page complaint includes a brief classified appendix, which is partially redacted.
