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. [8] 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]
