But Trump is not yet a defendant in a criminal proceeding and the whistleblower is not an "accuser" in any sense that would have legal weight. If a bank employee provides the FBI a ledger showing that the manager has been stealing from the till, the ledger is evidence and the manager doesn't necessarily have any right to face the employee who provided the ledger in court.
If Trump wants to bring a libel case against the whistleblower, let him. The truth of an allegation is a powerful defense and Trump couldn't very well complain about Zaid and Bakaj getting access to all sorts of documents and depositions in discovery.
