I'd say this is more politics than news, no?
It's called investigative journalism.
I know, it feels rare to see it in the wild.
Is investigative journalism considered "news"? I guess it is reporting on facts. I'm not saying I don't want to see it, and I'm not saying any "rule" has been broken or anything. I just like seeing things categorized correctly 🤷
I think of it like this: "news" is "things that happened". So an article about Trump being arrested is fine to post as news, because that is reporting on an event that happened. "Politics" would be the community for articles that are like opinion pieces or investigations that are specifically about political figures or groups.
