Government corruption doesn't announce itself. It hides in shell companies, foreign contracts, and campaign finance filings that nobody bothers to read. The Drill Down does the reading.

Hosted by Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, Red-Handed, Blood Money, and The Invisible Coup, and Eric Eggers, author of Fraud and GAI Vice President, the show follows the money behind Washington's biggest scandals: foreign influence operations, CCP capture of American institutions, insider deals, and election integrity failures. Each episode breaks down a real investigation, the paper trail behind it, and who benefits.

No spin. No talking points. Just the documents, the disclosures, and the people who'd rather you didn't look.

New episodes weekly from the Government Accountability Institute.
