POLITICO will continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them.
The claims that POLITICO received government subsidies are false and have been thoroughly debunked.

Setting the record straight on rehashed and false claims shared about @politico: As fact checkers, and Grok, have confirmed, we have not missed a payday and have never taken government funding. We are proud of our independent journalism and our growing global business.
🚨 This is the biggest scandal in news media history:
No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis.
Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID.
Trump & Elon deleted their funding.
Now Politico will go out of business.
The corruption is endless.
Good riddance
