We’re unique in a couple of ways. For starters, Investigative Post is the only news organization in WNY dedicated exclusively to watchdog journalism. We produce fact-based, nonpartisan investigative stories and analyses on issues that matter to the citizens and taxpayers of Buffalo and WNY.

We’re also the only news outlet in WNY whose work appears on all the major publishing platforms: print, television, radio and the web. That puts us in the forefront as media outlets adapt to changing technology and audience habits.

John Fetterman: ‘I’ll be the Democrat leading the committee’ for Trump’s Nobel Prize



Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) offered to be the "Democrat leading the committee" to campaign for President Donald Trump to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

On Thursday, Fox News host Aishah Hasnie asked Fetterman if he supported a Nobel Prize for Trump after the president announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

"Well, I mean, if this sticks, I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace," the senator replied. "And I'm going to make a direct appeal to the president. You know, I hope he chooses to provide the Tomahawks to the Ukrainians — and give them the tools that they need to push back against the Russia, and if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I'll be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize — peace — for ending both of these terrible wars."
