JUST IN: Attorneys for Rick BRIGHT who claims he was removed from his post for pushing back against Trump's promotion of hydroxychloroquine, say he'll be filing a whistleblower complaint with the HHS inspector general.

There's a different process for intelligence community whistleblowers than broader federal employees, but there are multiple avenues for public disclosures — including Bright's decision to file a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel (which has nothing to do with Mueller).
NEW from @ddiamond: Bright is alleging that the Trump administration sought nationwide access to hydoxycholorquine with "limited physician oversight."
Bright resisted but, allegedly under pressure, signed off on the acquisition of millions of doses.
