It was just revealed this morning that one of the news organizations trying to destroy President Trump received over $8 million last year in government funds.
Politico apparently sold some high price subscriptions to entire government agencies and grifted right off the taxpayer dime.

Here’s more from Becker:
On Tuesday, it was reported that, "Staff at Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying it believes there was a technical error, and is looking into how to fix the issue." pic.twitter.com/AxykYb6Oz7

The "technical error" was reportedly resolved.
The error of sending U.S. taxpayer money to a biased, partisan, establishment publication, however, is being fixed.

Just to be clear, Politico was getting funds from all sorts of government agencies for extremely pricey Politico Pro subscriptions.

You can be sure these subscriptions will be promptly canceled, and then what will Politico do for money once their $8 million grift is canceled? I guess we’ll find out. While they managed without this massive taxpayer grift before, I have a feeling they are about to downsize considerably.
