Granting anonymity to the people making these allegations against @realDonaldTrump is very problematic journalistically. Here's why.

1: These are not whistleblowers trying to expose illegal or potentially illegal activity. The allegations are simple character assassination... https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/1302329922250301440

2: They don't even have any temporal urgency - meaning Trump didn't do this yesterday, these (alleged) incidents are years old. So the people reporting them have an obligation to disclose as much as possible about the people making them to let readers judge motivation themselves.

3: On top of that, all the usual caveats apply - the interactions are basically hearsay, no emails or other documentation exist, and so people should know whether the person who is reporting them heard what Trump said first-, second-, or third-hand.

4: Finally, the political motivation is obvious here. And there's no evidence anyone will face retribution - blowing the whistle on Trump seems more likely to lead to a book contract than anything else. So why exactly is anonymity required here?
