The Justice Department was preparing to wage a legal battle more than a decade in the making against the world’s largest concert promoter. Then Trump called.

Inside the leadup to the Live Nation settlement, where many DOJ officials regarded the political interference as extreme even for an administration in which the White House regularly inserts itself into law-enforcement matters.

“Blanche vowed to secure subpoenas specifically targeting the records of reporters…one official said. In one meeting, Trump passed a stack of news articles…to Blanche with a sticky note on it that said ‘treason,’ another administration official said.” https://t.co/CDZhux4zpn

Honored to have played a part in this reporting package — but every day is a win when you work with talented colleagues like @khadeeja_safdar @joe_palazzolo @cryanbarber @learyreports @jdawsey1 @AnnieLinskey @rebeccaballhaus @aviswanatha @AndrewRestuccia @marcelolprince @WSJ

The Wall Street Journal was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Public Service for our reporting on the birthday book and the handling of the Epstein files — work that helped trigger the release of more than three million Justice Department documents.

I'm so proud to work alongside the best colleagues and editors in the world, who have supported my reporting on Epstein's network for years. What began last year with @marcelolprince and @joe_palazzolo grew into a newsroom-wide effort.

This past summer was enormously challenging for me and my family. Getting through it was only possible because of the extraordinary support I received from across the newsroom, from our fearless editors, from our legal and security teams, and from the many people who reached out with care and concern.

I'm so proud of this work and the courage displayed by our paper. I'm deeply grateful to our sources, who placed so much trust in us. And most of all, I'm grateful to live in a country with a First Amendment. https://t.co/yiJhs9OqSY

In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, the Mar-a-Lago spa was sending employees on house calls to Epstein’s home. Spa employees warned each other about Epstein, who was known among staff for being sexually suggestive and exposing himself during the appointments.

@ForsythJenn @WSJ Helps that I had great editors [eg. you] encouraging and guiding me every step of the way.

The payloads SpaceX launches for the U.S. military and spy agencies are usually treated as a government secret, shared only with select employees.

Elon Musk isn’t one of them.

Elon Musk Gave Tens of Millions to GOP Causes Earlier Than Previously Known. Musk gave tens of millions of dollars behind ad campaign run by a Stephen Miller org and gave $10 million to DeSantis's presidential bid

Today, Dow Jones CEO and Wall Street Journal Publisher Almar Latour and Wall Street Journal Editor in Chief Emma Tucker released the below statement on @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich.

#IStandWithEvan

[Joe Palazzolo @joe_palazzolo]

This is the absurd but predictable result of a bogus case against a WSJ reporter whom Russia detained for leverage. We stand with Evan, now and until his release.

This is a must-read story out today from @cdweaver @mcgint @annawmathews @MarkMaremont.

Among the disturbing findings: More than 66K Medicare Advantage patients were diagnosed with diabetic cataracts even though they already had gotten cataract surgery, which replaces the damaged lens of an eye w/a plastic insert—making the diagnosis “anatomically impossible.”

[Joe Palazzolo @joe_palazzolo]

“Gershkovich is now ensnared in a shadowy judicial system that operates largely at the service of the state security apparatus. Government prosecutors wield immense power and control, information is restricted, [and] defense evidence is sidelined.” https://t.co/u3cjKFDytM
