Washington, Dec 29 (TIWN) US President Donald Trump faced staunch criticism for retweeting a post that included the alleged name of the whistlebower whose complaint has led to his impeachment, the media reported on Sunday.

Just before midnight Friday, Trump retweeted a message from Twitter user @Surfermom77, an account that claims to be a woman named Sophia who lives in California. The account shows some indications of automation, including an unusually high amount of activity and profile pictures featuring stock images from the internet.
