Zach Everson is an American journalist best known for his 1100 Pennsylvania newsletter that reports on Donald Trump’s alleged use of his presidency for personal gain.[1] Everson was previously a travel and food writer.[2]

Career

Everson has reported about the Trump Organization for publications including Vanity Fair,[3] Politico,[4] Slate,[5] Mother Jones,[6] and ProPublica and WNYC Studios' Trump, Inc. podcast.[7]

As a travel writer, Everson reported on the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.'s opening for Fox News in October 2016[8] and later for Condé Nast Traveler.[9] That article on the 2018 Lowell Thomas Gold Award for Travel News/Investigative Reporting from the Society of American Travel Writers.[10]

He later quit travel writing to report full-time on the Trump D.C. hotel.[11]

Everson often uses open-source intelligence to identify customers at Trump properties. In Commentary Magazine, journalist Matthew Continetti complimented Everson's tracking of Trump's possible conflicts, but suggested Everson was playing to liberal biases.[12]

As of February 2020, Everson had spotted 25 Trump cabinet members[13] at the hotel and 32 of the 53 Republicans serving in the Senate.[14] He also spotted representatives of at least 33 foreign countries through October 2010.[15]

In 2021, after Trump's departure from the White House, Everson joined business magazine Forbes to cover money in politics.[16] In late August 2021, the Trump International Hotel in Washington banned Everson for life; he was told this was for taking photos without permission, Everson claimed this was retribution for unflattering coverage.[17] [18]
