White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, responding Wednesday to a question about a right-wing conspiracy theory, announced that the federal government would cancel $8 million worth of Politico subscriptions.

Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Wednesday that Politico has been receiving funds from the U.S. government that will dry up as DOGE cracks down on spending.

The money the White House refers to covered the entire federal government’s subscriptions to the news outlet's services, namely Politico Pro.
