The Washington Free Beacon is a news website founded in 2012. While considered a conservative website, and while taking many conservative positions, the Free Beacon is funded by GOP donor Paul Singer, who supported establishment candidates, Common Core, and founded a super PAC with the purpose of convincing the GOP to endorse the homosexual agenda.[1] Additionally, Bill Kristol, an establishment Never Trump movement activist, is connected to the Beacon.[1]
When founded in 2012, the Free Beacon had 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status, being a part of the Center for American Freedom, but in 2014 it became a for-profit organization.[1] In 2017, the Free Beacon was the subject of controversy for funding Fusion GPS's "opposition research" against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, research which directly led to the Russian dossier created by the same organization and funded by the Democratic National Committee.[1]
