In 2014, he and other journalists collaborated to preserve documents found at the Mezhyhirya Residence after President Viktor Yanukovych fled Ukraine.[4] Gnap won the main award at the 2015 Mezhyhirya Festival for his investigative work.[3][6]
On April 2016, a libel lawsuit was filed against him by Oleksandr Korniyets, one of the Ukrainian top prosecutors dubbed the "diamond prosecutors", previously suspected of taking bribes in what has been described as a witch hunt against many Hromadske journalists launched by Petro Poroshenko's supporters.[1]
On 25 June 2018, Gnap announced he was leaving journalism to start a political career. He said he would take part in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary elections, and in primaries for a single liberal opposition candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.[2] He officially became a presidential candidate on February 8, 2019 nominated by the party {{illm|Power of People|uk|Сила_людей}}.[3] Gnap continued to hosts his own political talk show "Right to the Truth" on "24 Channel".[4] On 1 March he withdrew his candidacy in favour of supporting fellow candidate Anatoliy Hrytsenko.[5] The following day Power of People officially withdraw Gnap's candidacy.[6]
