Yahoo! News: Another whistleblower walks the streets, famous but out of a job

Leshchenko was the whistleblower before the whistleblower (the anonymous informant who kicked off the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump): a Ukrainian journalist and former member of Parliament who put Ukraine on the U.S. political map in August 2016, when he disclosed the existence of a secret “black ledger” showing cash payments totaling over $12 million from the ruling party of Ukraine’s president Viktor Yanukovych to Paul Manafort.
