The Reload is a self-funding publication that has only existed for 4 months at this point. But we were the only ones who were willing and able to scrutinize the background of President Biden's ATF nominee. Now that nomination is being pulled. thereload.com/white-house-pu…
There were, as I've reported, other factors that led to Biden's ATF nominee being pulled. He worked for gun-control groups. He made controversial statements mocking gun owners. But those were all known when he was nominated. The Reload broke actual news on his background.
The Reload's reporting led to every Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee calling for a new hearing on Chipman. It is also why Senator McConnell asked President Biden to withdraw his nomination to lead the ATF. thereload.com/mcconnell-call…
The Reload's second major exclusive on allegations made against Chipman led to the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, to open an investigation into him. Grassley said he had whistleblower reports that corroborated the claims. thereload.com/grassley-deman…
In comments to the NY Post today, Grassley cited the unanswered questions about Chipman's background raised by The Reload's reporting as being a main motivator in the opposition that formed against him. nypost.com/2021/09/09/whi…
CNN reports Biden plans to appoint Chipman to a non-confirmable position despite the racism accusations made by former ATF agents. Subscribe to The Reload to keep up to date with what happens because you're unlikely to get that news elsewhere: thereload.com/free-newslette…
