Former State Department official and investigative journalist Mike Benz warned time is running out for the Trump administration to expose government corruption before November’s midterm elections possibly hand Democrats congressional majorities.
Benz, who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration and is now the executive director of the Foundation of Freedom Online, told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) there needs to be “a much heavier transparency drive” in order for much of Trump’s MAGA base to turn out to back Republicans in the midterms.
“I think that there have been a lot of amazing things this admin has done, certainly the first five months when Elon [Musk] was here,” Benz told the DCNF in a recent interview. “Things were moving at lighting pace. I think there’s been some frustration in the base when it comes to handling things like the Epstein files and the like.”
