As you know, we’re living in an unprecedented—and alarming—all-hands-on-deck moment. That’s why we founded Money Trail. Our name is an explicit reference to the phrase “follow the money” popularized by “All the President’s Men,” the 1976 docudrama chronicling the Washington Post's Watergate exposé.  

It is in that spirit that we provide you, our readers and donors, with timely coverage of the public officials, C-suite executives, and industry-funded think tank “scholars” who have undue influence over our lives.

Money Trail will never be beholden to a billionaire currying favor with a president or a CEO angling for a merger approval. Unlike the mainstream press, which routinely neglects to report on the power behind elected officials and "independent" experts for fear of losing access, Money Trail reveals whose interests are really being served.
