Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the upcoming election, is alleged to have attempted to bribe a reporter from The Washington Post with $500,000. In a text message sent in June, Shanahan proposed to pay an associate of the reporter to act as a whistleblower, claiming that certain individuals were disseminating false information about her. This allegation has raised questions regarding ethical conduct in political campaigning and the lengths to which candidates may go to control their narratives.
