Luke Rosiak is an investigative reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation who for the last decade has reported on fraud and dysfunction in the federal government. He often uses his computer programming expertise to find scoops via data analysis.
He was the first reporter to prove that, contrary to the DNC’s suggestions at the time, the emails published by Wikileaks were authentic, relying on a hightech analysis of server-handshake codes known as DKIM that verified that the emails were unaltered.
His investigations have led to numerous congressional hearings and the firings of high-level government employees, such as a con man named David Fender who sweet-talked Ginnie Mae into hiring him as its chief financial officer in charge of $1.7 trillion in mortgage-backed guarantees with the ruse that he was an international business magnate, when he actually lived in his mother’s basement and was not even a certified public accountant. During his tenure as CFO, Ginnie Mae’s books were kept so unprofessionally that the agency could not find $7 billion.
The author also worked as an investigator for the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, where his nose for surreal schemes by Washington insiders and his ability to communicate them in a colorful fashion quickly landed his findings on the front page of the New York Times with the story of Jeffrey Farrow, who ran a tiny federal agency intended to memorialize the victims of genocide, but who in reality used the office’s employees and resources to run a for-profit lobbying firm, serving as a foreign agent and doing business with the immediate family of a South American dictator who was recently convicted of genocide.
Before the Daily Caller News Foundation, he worked at the Sunlight Foundation, the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and the Washington Examiner.
