Revealed: the extremist Maga lobbying group driving far-right Republican policies

Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members

A powerful, rightwing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides, documents obtained by the Guardian show.

The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) trainings and bootcamps" for congressional staff at CPI's sprawling Maryland ranch, and lavish, star-studded retreats for members of Congress - mostly members of the far-right Freedom caucus - at a string of Florida resorts.
