President Donald Trump has ordered yet another federal agency to cancel all media contracts in the wake of a recent political debate. axios claim.
According to an email obtained by Axios, the Trump administration apparently is asking the General Services Bureau to cancel all of its paid media contracts.
“GSA team, do two things,” an email began from Trump officials. “We will draw all the contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico Sub) and Bloomberg.”
The email reiterated that the directive was applied to “all single media contracts” with the GSA alone.
It is unclear whether the contract will be withdrawn temporarily or permanently. However, White House officials have shown to Axios that the Trump administration is focusing on lasers in the media. “Sauron's eyes are more than politics,” the official said. “It's all media.”
New York Post I contacted the White House late Thursday night to confirm the report from Axios, but received no response.
The GSA is billed as an “independent” agency designed to improve government efficiency by managing government real estate and purchasing government equipment and solutions from private companies. “We will promote best management practices and efficient government operations through government-wide policy development.” Website say.
“Democrats can't hide it from now on.”
The report on the GSA and its apparently currently decommissioned media agreement follows a major controversy involving Politico Pro, a subscription service associated with Politico Media Outlet.
Quick Scan for usaspending.gov Earlier this week, it was revealed that the federal government has paid more than $34 million since fiscal year 2016, paying a $8 million subscription fee to Politico Pro last year alone. Politico affiliate Capitol News Company LLC received another one. $4.5 million From fiscal year 2011 to 2023, Blaze News reported previously.
In response to the fuss that followed, White House press chief Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday promised that Elon Musk and the government's Department of Efficiency will begin “currently working on cancelling these payments.”
The next day, Trump worked on it. The true society And denounced Politico as “left 'rags',” and said subscriptions paid by federal agencies like the US International Development Agency are actually Quid Pro Quo for Democrats' favourable news coverage. I insisted.
It appears that billions of dollars are swimming in USAID and other institutions. Many of them go to fake news media as “in return” to create a good story about the Democrats. The left-wing “rags” known as “Politico” appears to have received $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive the money? Who else did it? This is the biggest scandal for all of them, and perhaps the biggest scandal in history! The Democrats can't hide it from now on. Too big, too dirty!
in Letters to readersEditors of Politico CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Prime Minister John Harris said that subscription sales to federal agencies are normal and in apolitical business transactions similar to purchasing “research, equipment, software and industry reports.” He opposed the charges, claiming that there was.
“We have never received government funding. We have no subsidies, no grants, no distribution funds. It's not a dime in 18 years,” they write.
“Several online voices are deliberately spreading falsehood. Let's be clear: politics is not financially dependent on government, and there is no hidden agenda. We cover politics and policy. Masu. That's what we do. ”
Axios obviously quickly accepted the explanation provided by the Politico leader. And it showed that people questioning those who traded tens of millions of dollars between the federal government and the major media are pitching “false conspiracy theory.”
Notably, Axios added a significant disclosure at the bottom of the article, and Axios Pro confirmed last year that it received a $5,550 subscription fee from the Federal Communications Commission.
