Politico has responded to the controversy, writing in a Thursday memo that they have “never received any government funding — no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years,” but that $27 million in government subscriptions to “Politico Pro” is simply “a transaction,” akin to the government buying “research, equipment, software and industry reports.”

Hunter Biden’s lucrative art sales were also a transaction, totally not buying influence. Perhaps he should have started a subscription service for monthly art deliveries?
