**The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer**

Government corruption doesn’t announce itself. It hides in shell companies, foreign contracts, and campaign finance filings that nobody bothers to read. The Drill Down does the reading.

Hosted by Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of *Clinton Cash*, *Secret Empires*, *Red-Handed*, *Blood Money*, and *The Invisible Coup*, and Eric Eggers, author of *Fraud* and GAI Vice President, the show follows the money behind Washington’s biggest scandals: foreign influence operations, CCP capture of American institutions, insider deals, and election integrity failures. Each episode breaks down a real investigation, the paper trail behind it, and who benefits.

No spin. No talking points. Just the documents, the disclosures, and the people who’d rather you didn’t look.

New episodes weekly from the Government Accountability Institute.

Secret Service Failures Exposed - With Susan Crabtree Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

Marking the first anniversary of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., the US Senate released two reports on failures by the Secret Service failures both during and prior to the attempt. The level of incompetence shown in the reports has caused some to wonder whether Secret Service was really even trying to prevent it.

Schweizer: Feds have had Epstein list since 2019 Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

Whatever the truth may be about Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide or “client list,” he was engaged in the business of human trafficking and that leaves a paper trail. As Peter Schweizer noted on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast, Investment bank JP Morgan Chase turned over the records it had, worth over 1 billion dollars, to the federal government in 2019. Why haven’t those records been released? “We have more than $1 billion were used for purposes of human trafficking,” JP Morgan wrote to the Justice Department after Epstein’s death, Schweizer says. As Eric Eggers notes, we “follow the money.” So, why has no one else been investigated in light of JP Morgan’s disclosures?

Trump’s Disruption of Foreign Policy Ends Iran’s Nuclear Threat Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

President Donald Trump just blew up Iran’s nuclear program. That was the easy part. What Trump has done in arranging a tenuous ceasefire between Iran and Israel, after hammering the table with 14 MOPs dropped on Iran’s most critical underground nuclear enrichment plants, is “a return to 19th Century Great Power projection,” says author and investigative reporter Peter Schweizer on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast. Co-host Eric Eggers adds, “the rizz is back.”

Schweizer: No Kings Lesson For Leftist Billionaires – You Can’t Buy an Uprising Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

No Kings? No problem. The weekend protests called “No Kings” produced crowds of a few thousand in some reliably “blue” cities like Portland, Boston, Seattle, and others, but not much else. Tragically, though, a killer who was once a political appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz shot and killed the former state House speaker and her husband and seriously wounded a state senator and his wife – and killed his dog – in an act of politically motivated violence. On the latest episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers look at the protest campaign and follow the money behind it.

LA Riots Coming to You Soon? Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

As the riots raged in Los Angeles, four things became clear – LA’s leaders are feckless; foreign money is behind the rioters; protesters are expressing a soup of different grievances, and all this may happen elsewhere. As with the BLM riots in 2020, the LA disturbances are not spontaneous or chaotic. They have been planned, supported, and even staffed by activist organizations whose goals have nothing to do with immigration law or the plight of day laborers lingering in Home Depot parking lots. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers break down these connections and follow the money to Mexican cartels, China, taxpayer-funded NGOs, and even teachers and service employee unions.

Schweizer: Media Still Lying About Biden May 21, 2025

Show notes

While recent news of former President Joe Biden’s dire cancer diagnosis certainly inspired sympathy, it also has raised suspicions about the timing and motivation of the disclosure. As Peter Schweizer notes on the most recent episode of The Drill Down, the lack of honesty about Joe Biden’s health and the media’s coverage of it extends even to a new book by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios. “We have lies upon lies upon lies upon lies,” says Schweizer, who exposed the Biden family’s influence-peddling back in 2018. “Even by Washington standards, these are some serious whoppers.”
