MEDIA WINNER: Josh Dawsey
The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey published a new report over the weekend detailing a previously-unknown element of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 redux obsessions.
According to Dawsey, the Trump campaign paid research company Berkeley Research Group through a subsidiary called East Bay Dispute and Advisory consulting fees that totaled “more than $600,000 in the final weeks of 2020.”
There may have been even more spent, the Post’s sources said, as other outside researchers were also hired.
The ex-president infamously lost over 60 court cases, in both state and federal courts — many of which were decided by Republican-appointed or even Trump-appointed judges. But Berkeley’s research never made it into any of these court files.
“None of the findings were presented to the public or in court,” wrote Dawsey, and that was for a very obvious reason: they didn’t really find anything.
In addition to the stunning report on Trump's election fraud efforts, Dawsey reported on additional classified documents found at both Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence's residences.
Dawsey is consistently breaking news through his comprehensive and impressive reporting, marking himself as a top political reporter. |
