- The Facts:Bre Payton, the journalist who broke the story of Robert Mueller’s team deleting text messages, died very suddenly of a mysterious illness.
- Reflect On:Can we look at these incidences based on the facts as well as by recognizing patterns, before we jump to either accept or reject possible explanations?
Bre Payton was a writer for the conservative online news magazine The Federalistand a guest commentator on the Fox News Channel. And she was a rising star.
“From the moment we started talking I realized she was a potential star,” Ben Domenech, the publisher of The Federalist, said in an essay on Saturday. “She was raw, yes, but that could be honed. She was eager to learn, to write, and to go places—not because of ambition, but because she wanted to change the world.”
And then she died suddenly on Friday in San Diego. She was 26.
