Trump also repeated his claim that Politico received an $8 million government payment under the Biden administration, describing the arrangement as "corruption."

Federal spending records show that government agencies did spend more than $8 million on Politico products in fiscal year 2024, mostly subscriptions and related services. However, USAID itself paid Politico $44,000 during fiscal years 2023 and 2024, instead of $8 million.
