The lead counsel representing the Ukraine whistleblower donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign earlier this year, records show.

Andrew Bakaj, founder and managing partner of D.C.-based law firm Compass Rose Legal Group, is the lead counsel working on behalf of the Ukraine whistleblower. Bakaj earmarked a $100 donation on April 26 through ActBlue, a fundraising nonprofit that helps facilitate contributions for Democrats, to Biden’s presidential campaign, the Federal Election Commission’s website shows. Biden appears to be the only recipient of campaign cash from Bakaj this year.

The article goes on to state the following:

The whistleblower, whose identity remains unknown, approached the intelligence community’s inspector general about President Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The IG in turn approached House Democrats, who announced an impeachment inquiry. Trump acknowledged discussing Biden’s potential links to corruption in Ukraine during the conversation, but denied pressuring Zelensky.

The Free Beacon report notes that Bakaj and attorney Mark Zaid, who is a co-counsel to the whistleblower, are both involved with Whistleblower Aid, “a nonpartisan legal nonprofit launched in 2017 to help federal employees coming forward with information about wrongdoing navigate legal avenues.”

A co-founder of Whistleblower Aid, John Tye, reportedly donated $2,700 to a PAC for Hillary Clinton in 2016. CLICK HERE to read more from the Free Beacon.
