The Washington Post is one of the US's leading newspapers with a strong focus on domestic affairs. It exposed the Watergate scandal in 1973. When it was facing financial difficulties in 2013, it was taken over by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, giving it a secure financial basis. The paper has managed to attract new readers thanks to the many innovations to its online platform. US President Donald Trump has accused the paper of conducting a campaign against him.
