Senior Investigative Reporter

Bloomberg Government is seeking a scoop-hungry investigative reporter to follow the money across the Trump administration, revealing how power dynamics are evolving and who stands to benefit. This reporter will dig into federal outlays, expose patterns of political influence, and produce agenda-setting journalism that shows readers how taxpayer dollars are really being spent.
