On or about August 12, 2019, my client disclosed to the ICIG their reasonable belief of a violation of law, rule, regulation, or an abuse of authority. In accordance with 50 U.S.C. 3033(k)(5)(B), the ICIG determined that my client's disclosure was a credible Urgent Concern and transmitted to the Acting Director of National Intelligence both its determination as well as the disclosure. The statute mandates that within 7 calendar days of receipt, the Director of National Intelligence shall ... forward such transmittal to the congressional intelligence committees, together with any comments the Director considers appropriate. 50 U.S.C. 3033(k)(5)(C). The ICIG has informed me that despite its determination, my client's disclosure will not be transmitted to Congress because the Acting Director of National Intelligence views the matter as outside of the scope of the applicable whistleblower statute.
