A newly filed complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) stated that the whistleblower at the center of the presidential impeachment inquiry might have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting hundreds of thousands of dollars via GoFundMe, according to a report.

The complaint claimed that donations from 6,000 people “clearly constitute” gifts to a current intelligence official, adding that donations may have come from prohibited sources, and asked the ICIG to investigate if any “foreign citizen or agent of a foreign government” contributed to the person’s fund, Fox News reported on Nov. 12.
