A GoFundMe has raised over $155,000 to cover legal fees for the anonymous Ukraine whistleblower
WASHINGTON -- Lawyers for an anonymous whistleblower who filed a complaint alleging Donald Trump pressured a foreign government to interfere in the U.S. election have launched a fundraiser to cover the whistleblower's legal aid.
Whistleblower Aid founder and CEO John Tye told USA TODAY that the organization hopes to protect the anonymous whistleblower's rights including being free from retaliation, in addition to educating the public about the importance of whistleblowing. In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed that the president was"using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 election" and to"investigate one of the president's main domestic political rivals."
