Attorney: There are other whistleblowers
The attorney representing the whistleblower whose complaint ignited the current firestorm over President Donald Trumps phone call with the president of the Ukraine tweeted Sunday that he is representing other whistleblowers.
IC WHISTLEBLOWER UPDATE: I can confirm that my firm and my team represent multiple whistleblowers in connection to the underlying August 12, 2019, disclosure to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. No further comment at this time, Andrew P. Bakaj (@AndrewBakaj) tweeted Sunday morning.
Bakaj, a former State Department employee, is paired with Mark Zaid in representing that person. They are partners at Compass Rose Legal Group, a Washington firm specializing in security issues.
The original whistleblower had filed a complaint pertaining to Trumps conversation in July with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Trumps request for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

About a week ago (maybe longer), the second whistleblower was someone who had knowledge of the IRS blocking the release of trumps tax returns. What happened to that one?
So, who is this new second whistleblower, regarding the Ukraine call?

I just wondered what happened to the IRS story. Was Mnuchin mentioned in that one?
