Whitaker ties to conservative charity with shared address
IRS filings show the group sought tax exempt status to study how environmental rules affect business but existed mainly on paper. Whitaker, later leader, drew over $500,000 in nine months in 2017, while others say the charity formed and changed names, moving to a K Street address as questions about its mission and donor sources arose.

Change in Mission Targets Political Tone and Funding
The FACT group restructured with a three member board including Whitaker and conservative activist Neil Corkery. IRS rules bar political campaigning by charities, but enforcement is lax. A Post review shows Whitaker promoted Democrats and Hillary Clinton in 2014 2017 interviews and focused on Robert Mueller after 2016. His nonprofit leadership boosted Washington profile and boosted pay, totaling 1.219 million from 2014 2017 and 55 000 monthly in last year.
