Investigative journalist Eli Clifton joins Barbara, Daniel, and Kelley to talk about the corruption and hypocrisy that makes this city go, starting with the dark money and blatant corporate, foreign, and government funding into think tanks and lobbying for a preferred interventionist agenda. Plus, crazy Beltway headlines that will make you cringe (and your pocketbook shrink)!
Eli is a senior advisor for The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and investigative journalist for Responsible Statecraft.
His latest issue brief, written with Ben Freeman of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative, on Restoring Trust in Think Tank Sector can be found here.
