U.S. News & World Report will start disclosing that columnist Brian Walsh, a former National Republican Senatorial Committee communications director, is still on the NRSC payroll, following an inquiry from POLITICO.

Since April, the NRSC has been giving Walsh $5,000 a month for communications, strategy and consulting, according to FEC filings. Walsh’s bio at U.S. News refers to him as “a government relations and public affairs strategist in Washington DC,” but does not mention that he is being paid by the Republican party.

In recent months, Walsh has used his column to target conservative hard-line groups, including the Senate Conservatives Fund and The Heritage Foundation, which have positioned themselves against establishment Republicans. Walsh is also frequently quoted in the press as a “former NRSC spokesperson” while speaking out against these groups.

Following an inquiry from POLITICO, U.S. News & World Report spokeswoman Lucy Lyons said the organization would amend Walsh’s biography to include his relationship with the NRSC.

“Walsh’s affiliation with the NRSC and role as a Republican strategist are identified in his blurb, but he did not disclose his role with the NRSC to us,” Lyons told POLITICO. “We would absolutely have disclosed this and are going back through and adding disclosures to the pieces he has written for us.”
