A bombshell report published by Fox News this week reveals the Ukrainian Embassy was contacted by operatives from the Democratic National Committee to obtain “dirt” on Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 race for the White House.
“Ukraine’s embassy wrote that a Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider reached out in 2016 seeking dirt on President Trump’s team, according to a bombshell new report Thursday that further fueled Republican allegations that Democrats were the ones improperly colluding with foreign agents during the campaign,” reports Fox News.
“Ambassador Valeriy Chaly said DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa pushed for Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko to mention Paul Manafort’s ties to Ukraine publicly during a visit to the U.S,” adds the article.
“The Embassy got to know Ms. Chalupa because of her engagement with Ukrainian and other diasporas in Washington D.C., and not in her DNC capacity. We’ve learned about her DNC involvement later,” said the Ambassador.

REPORT: While ‘Russia Collusion’ Crumbles, Details Emerge on Ukraine’s Plot to Elect Hillary
After two-years of non-stop partisan investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged relationship with Russia, new details are emerging regarding Hillary Clinton’s connections with senior Ukrainian officials and politicians during the 2016 election.
“After nearly three years and millions of tax dollars, the Trump-Russia collusion probe is about to be resolved. Emerging in its place is newly unearthed evidence suggesting another foreign effort to influence the 2016 election — this time, in favor of the Democrats,” writes The Hill’s John Solomon.
“Ukraine’s top prosecutor divulged in an interview aired Wednesday on Hill.TV that he has opened an investigation into whether his country’s law enforcement apparatus intentionally leaked financial records during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign about then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in an effort to sway the election in favor of Hillary Clinton,” adds the author.
