From Breitbart:
During the recent public impeachment hearings aimed at President Donald Trump, Republicans repeatedly mentioned one woman’s name: Alexandra Chalupa.
Chalupa may not be a household name, but if the impeachment effort against the president advances to the Senate she might take center stage as an anti-Trump activist who could be credited with launching Russian collusion and Ukraine bribery conspiracies.
If Democrats had not rejected almost all of the witnesses Republicans wanted to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, Chalupa’s role in the 2016 election may have been highlighted, including actions that led to the demise of Paul Manafort, the man who was briefly Trump’s presidential campaign manager and who is now serving a prison sentence for financial fraud and conspiracy.
And despite the Democrats reluctance to have her at the witness table, Chalupa told Politico she wanted to testify.
Eager Impeachment Witness
The Politico report cited Chalupa’s willingness to be in the spotlight:
A longtime Democratic consultant and Ukrainian-American activist says she’s itching to testify in the House’s public impeachment hearings to beat back Republican assertions that Ukrainian officials used her as a conduit for information in 2016 to damage Donald Trump.
“I’m on a mission to testify,” said Alexandra Chalupa, who Republicans identified as one of nine witnesses they would like to testify publicly when the House begins public impeachment proceedings this week.
Chalupa, founder of the political consulting firm Chalupa & Associates, LLC, and a co-chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Ethnic Council, has been at the heart of efforts by allies of President Donald Trump to draw an equivalence between Russia’s large-scale hacking and propaganda operation to interfere in the 2016 election with the actions of a small cadre of Ukrainian bureaucrats who allegedly worked with Chalupa to research former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s Russia ties.
Chalupa’a Twitter account says she is a “human rights hobbyist, political strategist, connector, mom of 3 strong girls. Lives in D.C., from California. On Putin & Trump’s bad list,” but her resume shows more about where her loyalties lie:
