Two Trump supporters are offering a $50,000 reward for information about the national security whistleblower at the center of the Ukraine phone affair.
Controversial conservatives Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said they would pay the money for “information relating to the identity of the ‘Trump Whistleblower.’”
The New York Times on Thursday reported that the whistleblower works at the CIA and was stationed in the White House when the call was made.
The duo have said their goal is to provide full transparency on the issue in which the administration has already released the transcript of the July 25 call and the inspector general’s report on it.
“This individual is key to understanding exactly what happened and how we can move forward,” said Burkman in a statement. “We’ve put forth this reward in hopes of bringing more information to light and putting this dark chapter behind us,” he added.
The duo have a sketchy record and made headlines for past efforts to attack the Russia election claims against the president. The Washington Examiner dubbed them “right-wing smear merchants” in a recent story.
Below is what the two sent to Secrets:
Trump Whistleblower: Major reward offered for infamous whistleblower to come forward
Conservative activists Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl team up to offer $50,000 for information relating to the identity of the ‘Trump Whistleblower’
ARLINGTON, Va. – Jack Burkman, a D.C.-based lobbyist and lawyer, has partnered with conservative social media personality Jacob Wohl to announce a reward for information relating to the identity of the whistleblower at the center of the Trump-Ukraine phone scandal.
“This individual is key to understanding exactly what happened and how we can move forward,” says Burkman. “We’ve put forth this reward in hopes of bringing more information to light and putting this dark chapter behind us.”
Burkman and Wohl are offering $50,000 for the individual, or anyone with credible information corroborating the whistleblower’s identify, to come forward.
The nation has been embroiled in controversy since news broke last week that an anonymous intelligence official filed a whistleblower complaint in relation to a phone call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump.
Since then, tensions in the nation’s capital have escalated at a dramatic pace, ultimately leading to an impeachment inquiry from the House of Representatives.
“The situation in our nation’s capital is a national disgrace,” said Burkman. “Political grandstanding, partisan politics and anonymous sources have contributed to a level of toxicity we haven’t seen in decades. It’s imperative that the truth is brought to light so we can move past this disappointing time in our history.”
