He also covered the Ferguson protests in 2014 and was arrested while doing so. After filing a suit with the ACLU, Trey’s charges were dropped, and he was awarded $8500. He donated the money left over after covering his travel and legal fees to a scholarship fund for aspiring journalists in the high schools around Ferguson.

He is also a frequent news commentator on other networks such as HLN, BBC, and Canada’s CTV.
In 2014, Trey gave a TEDx talk at American University, titled “The Fourth Estate Through the First Person,” in which he advocates for citizen journalists recording and sharing footage of newsworthy events as they happen to engage the audience with more empathy and emotion for the people involved.

He also co-founded the online media company News2Share with classmate Ford Fischer to collect and distribute first-hand footage and personal bystander accounts of newsworthy events. News2Share footage covers everything from local politics up to international conflicts.

Trey Yingst Trump Administration Work :

Yingst wanted to appear on-air as soon as possible in his career and had little patience for working his way up from local news to the national level. He found his opportunity with One America News Network, a smaller right-wing cable TV network, where he became the Chief White House Correspondent at the age of 23.

He got to know former White House press secretary Sean Spicer during the transition between administrations, which was beneficial for Yingst during White House press briefings.
He has a reputation for extracting answers from White House press secretaries, which no other journalist in the room can. Footage of questions he has asked (especially his questions about Russia’s alleged involvement with the 2016 US presidential election) and the answers given to him by press secretaries are often incorporated into the larger news cycle and have been featured on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
