Zach Everson

Zach Everson has been hired by  Forbes to be the writer of a new premium newsletter titled “Checks & Imbalances.”

The newsletter offers a look at politicians, their businesses and money moving around Washington, D.C. It launched on Monday.

Everson, who formerly authored a highly regarded Substack newsletter called “1100 Pennsylvania,” has spent the last four years reporting on Donald Trump and his Washington, D.C. hotel, which served as the epicenter of the swamp in the Trump era.

“As an independent journalist, Zach took on a competitive beat—Trump’s D.C. hotel—and outshined every major news outlet in the country,” said Dan Alexander, senior editor at Forbes, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have him at Forbes and to see all the stories he will break on his new, expanded beat.

Everson has also been published in Vanity Fair, Politico, and ProPublica.
