Whistleblower.
Example of context: Julian Assange released the documents on WikiLeaks revealing corruption and bought a plane ticket to an undisclosed destination.

That’s a good suggestion. Your example would be better, though, if you actually used the suggested word.

I think a whistleblower only meets the latter part of the definition: risking much to tell others while not implying any risk taken to uncover the truth: the whistleblower just happens to know the truth (e.g., by chance, by virtue of their position, or by taking risks to discover the truth).
