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.

The weekly podcast The Drill Down is hosted by Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, Red-Handed, Blood Money, and The Invisible Coup. Co-hosted with GAI Vice President Eric Eggers, the author of Fraud, the show follows the money trails behind Washington's biggest scandals: foreign influence operations, CCP capture of American institutions, insider deals, and election integrity failures. Every 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 exposing the people who would prefer you didn't know about it.

New episodes weekly from the Government Accountability Institute.
