Paul went on to explain that the Sixth Amendment included the right of the accused to confront any accusers, suggesting that allowing the whistleblower to remain anonymous would then be a de facto denial of Trumps Sixth Amendment rights.
Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham also argued that the whistleblower was not guaranteed anonymity, telling reporters, The whistleblower statute was never meant to give you anonymity. It was meant to allow you to come forward without being fired.

Sixth Amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
Technically the 6th Amendment only grants you the right to face your accuser during your trial and we are not yet at the trial stage of impeachment. That would be if and when impeachment charges are brought against President Trump in front of the full Senate. If at that point the Dems still refuse to release the whistleblower’s identity then we have a Constitutional crisis. Until then they have more leeway.
