Mexico: the president targeted by an investigation after revealing the number of a New York Times journalist. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador revealed the number during his usual press conference.
In late January, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Golden published an investigation in the online media outlet ProPublica. The article claims that someone close to the president met with Ismael Zambada, one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, before his electoral victory in 2018. The Mexican president had denounced “immoral practices” and “slander”, accusing his political opponents of being at their origin.
