Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire said President Trump never asked him to find out the identity of the whistleblower.

Answering a question from Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier, Maguire said:

"I can say — although I would not normally discuss my conversations with the President, I can tell you emphatically, no."

He added that no one else in the White House or in the Justice Department asked him to do so.
