House did not rely on whistleblower complaint -impeachment manager
Democratic House managers delivered closing arguments on Monday in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, which is expected to conclude on Wednesday with his acquittal.
Democratic U.S. Representative Val Demings, one of the House impeachment managers prosecuting the case, said the identity of the whistleblower, whose complaint about Ukraine led the House to begin its impeachment inquiry, was irrelevant.
"It does not matter who initially sounded the alarm when they saw smoke.
What matters is the firefighters - Congress - were summoned and found the blaze," Demings said.
The FBI on Wednesday arrested a Florida-based member of the right-wing Proud Boys group on charges of storming the U.S. Capitol two weeks ago in a crowd of Donald Trump supporters challenging his election defeat, the Justice Department said.

Former first lady Melania Trump reportedly asked an employee to write thank you notes on her behalf. According to Business Insider, the notes were to be given to the White House staff that has served her the past 4 years. Sources told reporters that Melania asked the staffer to write the notes "in her voice". The staffer wrote approximately 80 notes that Melania then signed. During her farewell speech issued on Tuesday, Mrs. Trump said the last four years had been "unforgettable."
