Now we know why Politico killed stories in 2020 about Hunter and his laptop. Yesterday we found out that Politico received $8 million to be a mouthpiece for Biden and the Democrats.
“Democrats are, therefore, understandably livid at Trump’s move to restructure and downsize the agency and have accused him and Musk of enacting a “coup” against the U.S. government.
Last month, two former Politico reporters revealed how the company had pressured them to kill stories critical of Joe Biden and related to the corrupt dealings of his son Hunter.
USAID money was supposed to help under developed nations—Politico is a propaganda sheet for the Democrat Party. Now you know why the Democrats are upset that Musk saw the books—and the open corruption hidden from the public. Politico needs to give the money back—hope AG Bondi sues to get our money back—and those responsible are fired.
REVEALED: Politico Received Huge Amounts of Taxpayer Money From USAID — Awarded Over $8 Million in Hundreds of Grants

Now it is starting to make sense.
Unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans, Politico was receiving huge amounts of taxpayer money from USAID.
As Donald Trump and Elon Musk seek to gut the corrupt agency and stop the disbursement of billions of dollars around the world, many people have pointed out some of the most ludicrous “grants” handed out by USAID.
Among the lucky recipients is Politico, a prominent digital news company covering U.S. and global politics.
Politico is a for-profit venture. In 2021, it was bought by Axel Springer for a staggering $1 billion.
Nevertheless, the company has received over $8 million dollars from USAID across hundreds of grants.
Additionally, there is evidence that the company was given $517,000 in return for 37 Politico Pro subscriptions, equivalent to roughly $14,000 per user.
The revelations happen to coincide with reports that Politico was unable to pay their staff this week.
However, this was blamed on a technical error, and the company insists it has now been resolved.
While masquerading as a middle-of-the-road news website, Politico has been involved in pushing Democrat Party propaganda since its inception.
Democrats are, therefore, understandably livid at Trump’s move to restructure and downsize the agency and have accused him and Musk of enacting a “coup” against the U.S. government.
Last month, two former Politico reporters revealed how the company had pressured them to kill stories critical of Joe Biden and related to the corrupt dealings of his son Hunter.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that while USAID would not be abolished entirely, it would be refocused to align with actual U.S. foreign policy objectives.
“It’s supposed to respond to the State Department’s policies,” Rubio explained. “It refuses to do so.”
”A lot of functions of USAID will continue, but it has to be aligned with our foreign policy.”
