Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy’s former running mate during his independent campaign for the presidency, allegedly offered $500,000 to a reporter to share their list of sources, according to a profile of the Silicon Valley lawyer-turned political candidate.

The allegations were detailed in a new Washington Post profile of the vice presidential candidate, who has since joined Kennedy in embracing Republican nominee Donald Trump and launched a campaign to “Make America Healthy Again.”

According to the report, Shanahan contacted an associate of a Post reporter in June, months before Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed the former president.

Shanahan allegedly told the associate to offer the journalist “half a million dollars to be a whistleblower” to expose the sources for the story, many of whom chose to remain anonymous. The reporters interviewed 34 people for the wide-ranging profile, which covered Shanahan’s early career in patent law, her relationship with her ex-husband, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and her political transformation.
