Whistleblower queries brought impeachment interview to boil

New impeachment inquiry transcripts show Republicans and Democrats repeatedly skirmishing over GOP questions that appear aimed at drawing out the identity of the whistleblower who filed the initial complaint against President Donald Trump.

During questioning of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a top Trump national security adviser, Republicans repeatedly asked questions that could reveal the whistleblower's identity. The GOP's actions led to sharp exchanges with Democrats and Vindman's lawyer.

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., ruled that Vindman could not identify anyone or provide information that might reveal the whistleblower's identity, saying the person's life has been put at risk.

Schiff said Democrats "are determined to protect the right of that whistleblower to remain anonymous" and "will not allow bad-faith efforts to out this whistleblower."

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.

Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.

The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
