Help Us Uncover the Truth

EmailTrump relies on tips from readers, whistleblowers, and sources to uncover important stories. If you have information about wrongdoing, corruption, or stories the public should know about, we want to hear from you.

Not Every Tip Becomes a Story

We investigate every credible tip, but not all lead to published stories. Reasons include:

• Information cannot be independently verified
• Story lacks sufficient public interest
• Legal concerns prevent publication
• Another outlet has already covered it thoroughly

Types of Stories We Cover

• Government corruption and misconduct
• Corporate malfeasance
• Threats to public health and safety
• Abuse of power
• Financial fraud
• Environmental violations
• Civil rights violations
• Misuse of public funds
• Cover-ups and obstruction

Whistleblower Protections

Depending on your situation, you may have legal protections:

• Federal employees: Whistleblower Protection Act
• Corporate employees: Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Dodd-Frank Act
• Healthcare: False Claims Act
• Various industries: State whistleblower laws

Consult with a lawyer about your specific situation and protections.

Anonymous Tips

You can submit tips completely anonymously. However, please note:

• We may need to ask follow-up questions
• Anonymous tips are harder to verify
• Consider using Signal or SecureDrop for anonymous communication

What We Need From You

To investigate your tip effectively, provide:

• Who: Names and titles of people involved
• What: Detailed description of what happened
• When: Dates and timeline
• Where: Locations, departments, organizations
• Why it matters: Impact on public, violations of law/policy
