  • Records show federal agencies, as well as Republican and Democratic lawmakers, paid for subscriptions to Politico. But the company says it's never received federal subsidies.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's misleading claims about government payments to Politico, as reported by the Washington Post. Trump suggested that Politico, which he referred to as "the failing Politico," was receiving government subsidies, a claim that lacks evidence. The Washington Post's fact-checkers found no indication that Politico receives direct government funding. Instead, Politico, like many media outlets, might benefit indirectly from government advertising or through events like the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but these are not subsidies. Trump's comments appear to be part of his broader narrative criticizing media outlets he perceives as unfriendly to him, often without factual basis.
