Overview

  • The Trump administration launched 'White House Wire,' a Drudge Report-inspired website hosted on WH.gov to aggregate pro-Trump news and official content.
  • The site features links to conservative outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart, alongside White House press releases and social media posts by officials.
  • A White House official described the platform as a 'one-stop shop' for supporters to access 'the real news' and promote transparency.
  • The Drudge Report, which the site resembles, mocked the launch and its founder, Matt Drudge, threatened legal action, claiming potential misuse of taxpayer funds.
  • This launch follows ongoing tensions with the press, including the exclusion of AP journalists from Oval Office events despite a court ruling mandating their readmission.
