Republicans need to stand up and demand the Trump administration turn over the whistleblower complaint to the House Intelligence Committee to allow for full disclosure, according to former Ohio GOP Gov. John Kasich told CNN on Monday.
"You have to make sure you're not putting your party and your own little hide ahead of what is correct in this case," Kasich said. "All you should be calling for is for all of this to be sent to the Intelligence committee. That's what the law says and that is what you should be advocating."
The whistleblower complaint reportedly alleges President Donald Trump talked about his potential political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"I am waiting for one or two Republicans to strongly say that this is wrong, but let's investigate, maybe there's some excuse out here that we don't know. I'm fine with that. But we need to know what happened," Kasich said.
President Trump attacked the credibility of the whistleblower Monday, but Kasich, a frequent critic of the president, rebutted the president.
"This was not made by somebody living in outer space," Kasich said. "This was somebody who was very concerned about what they heard on a communication, turned it over to the inspector general, who declared it a major problem. And now the administration won't follow the law. That's what they need to do, follow the law."
