An international non-government organization (NGO) that served as a major catalyst for President Donald Trump‘s impeachment received over half of its funding from the United States Department of State.

The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), comprised of journalists in six countries and co-founded by entrepreneur Drew Sullivan, received a whopping 52 percent of the funds from the U.S. federal government.

It also appears that the U.S. taxpayer-funded the OCCRP’s investigation into former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s political work in Ukraine.

The activities were cited several times in the whistleblower letter that sparked Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.

Trump was ultimately acquitted of the charges by the U.S. Senate.

According to the report published by Drop Site, while the OCCRP has disclosed that it receives some government funding, those exact amounts were previously unknown to the public.

The U.S. government has contributed $47 million to its budget granting OCCRP an additional $12 million since its founding.

What’s worse, OCCRP has received an estimated $15 million from foreign governments, including Britain, France, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

The organization is also backed by private donors, including left-wing billionaire George Soros‘s Open Society Foundations.

The OCCRP collaborates with state and corporate media across the globe including the following:

Germany’s public broadcaster NDR and Der Spiegel

Rolling Stone magazine

The Washington Post

The Guardian

The Times

France’s Le Monde

Australia’s Dossier magazine

Moreover, a large bulk of OCCRP’s U.S. government-backed work focused on countering Russian media narratives.

U.S. government actions against individuals, companies, and governments have used OCCRP reports as their basis.

Unsurprisingly, OCCRP attempts to portray itself as nonpartisan when it’s the complete opposite.

For instance, the organization’s co-founder, Drew Sullivan, has a lengthy social media track record of boosting partisan political narratives

Sullivan recently amplified claims that Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, sports far-right Christian nationalist tattoos.
