With the Ukraine scandal in the news 24/7, whistleblowing has received more publicity in the past couple of months than ever before. Most of it has not been positive. “Print his name,” “subpoena the … whistleblower,” we hear. “Investigate him for fraud!” is another demand that is growing popular among President Trump allies.
As an attorney who counsels companies on remedial compliance measures following internal and government investigations, I cannot help but wonder what effect such rhetoric and possible developments yet to come may have on potential workplace whistleblowers.
