WASHINGTON—Alexandra Chalupa, a contracted opposition researcher working in 2015 and 2016 for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) with extensive Ukrainian sources, met with multiple officials in President Barack Obama’s administration in the White House, according to visitor logs examined by Judicial Watch.

Chalupa approached the Ukrainian embassy in Washington in 2016 seeking information about Paul Manafort, then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign manager, and about Trump’s possible ties to Russia.
