Whistleblower fired from Trump’s Truth Social after turning over docs now makes $16 an hour at Starbucks https://nypost.com/2023/04/30/whistleblower-fired-from-trumps-truth-social-after-turning-over-docs-now-makes-16-an-hour-at-starbucks/ "A former top executive at Donald Trump’s Truth Social media company who was booted for becoming a whistleblower is back to the daily grind — as a $16-an-hour Starbucks barista. “It’s an honest day’s work,” Will Wilkerson told the Washington Post of his new gig in North Carolina. Wilkerson, 38, provided 150,000 emails, contracts and other internal documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission and probers in Florida and New York who are examining Trump’s Media and Technology Group. The federally protected whistleblower last year claimed Trump’s company broke securities laws and said he could not stay silent while some of its honchos misled investors, including small-time shareholders loyal to the former president. The company fired Wilkerson shortly after, accusing him of “concocted psychodramas” but declining to address his specific claims, according to the report. Former Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the Trump firm’s CEO, has since sued Wilkerson for defamation in a Florida circuit court, with Nunes claiming he suffered “anxiety,” “insecurity,” “mental anguish” and “emotional distress” as a result of the ex-worker’s comments. Wilkerson was the executive vice president of operations for the former president’s media business and a co-founder of Trump’s Truth Social website."
