Ken Klippenstein

Ken Klippenstein is an American independent journalist focused on national security, government transparency, and investigative reporting through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Previously a reporter at The Intercept, where he specialized in exposing classified and internal government documents, Klippenstein resigned in April 2024 to establish KlipNews on Substack, aiming for uncensored, aggressive scrutiny of the national security apparatus unconstrained by corporate media structures. His FOIA-driven work has yielded disclosures on topics including Secret Service communications deletions around January 6, 2021, intelligence assessments, and executive branch operations, often shared directly on social media platforms to maximize public access.
