The FBI has launched an investigation into a string of death threats lobbed against the Ukraine scandal whistleblower — including one disturbing email that claims the anonymous informant “should be shot," according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

The source told the Daily News on Wednesday that the threats have been sent to the legal team representing the still-anonymous CIA whistleblower, who first rang the alarm on President Trump’s infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The whistleblower’s complaint sparked the House impeachment inquiry.
