| GOP Senators Seek Interview With Ex-DNC Contractor Who Worked With Ukrainians In 2016 |
| 2019-12-07 |
| [Daily Caller] Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced Friday that they are requesting records from and interviews with Alexandra Chalupa, a Democratic consultant and Ukrainian-American activist who met with Ukrainian embassy officials throughout 2016, allegedly on behalf of the DNC. The trio are also seeking records from Andrii Telizkhenko, a former Ukrainian political officer who told Politico that Oksana Shulyar, a top aid to the Ukrainian ambassador, instructed him to assist Chalupa with research to connect Trump and Manafort to the Russians. According to the Daily Caller, the request is a continuation of Grassley’s 2017 inquiry into possible coordination between the DNC and the Ukrainian embassy to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign. Chalupa met throughout 2016 with Ukrainian embassy officials, and sought to trade information related to Manafort, who worked through 2014 for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, on Jan. 11, 2017, Politico reported. Telizhenko told Politico he was directed by his bosses to help Chalupa in the effort. In addition to Chalupa’s efforts, multiple Ukrainian government officials spoke out against Trump during the 2016 campaign. One official scrutinized by Republicans is Serhiy Leshchenko, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian who gained international attention in August 2016 for helping publicize the so-called "black ledger" that detailed payments that the Ukrainian Party of Regions allegedly made to Manafort. Manafort denied receiving the payments, but was forced off the Trump team following reports of the "black ledger." He was convicted in the special counsel’s investigation of financial crimes related to income from his Ukraine work. |
