"And they were influenced peddling. And the people paying these millions expected favors in return some some kind of public policy coming from the former vice president and maybe even a potential president of the United States. Now they got him now, he's compromised," Johnson said. Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on Thursday outlined the allegations against President Joe Biden and the first family, deeming it "obvious" that the Biden family was engaged in corrupt practices. Speaking on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, Johnson addressed the litany of suspicious activity reports (SARs) documenting the dubious financial transactions...

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday advanced the nomination of former Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew to be the U.S. ambassador to Israel, at one of the most perilous moments in the Jewish state’s history. The committee approved Lew by a mostly partisan vote of 12-9. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote in support of the nomination. Lew’s work during the Obama administration in implementing the sanctions relief the U.S. agreed to provide to Iran as part of the multinational nuclear deal was the source of much of the GOP grievances against the longtime...

Ron Johnson (R-WI) criticized President Joe Biden’s choice to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew.According to the Wisconsin Republican, Lew was a bad choice because of his approach to diplomacy with Iran.(snip)“Well, Jack Lew has a history of advocating for Iran, coddling Iran,” Johnson replied. “I think it’s an insult to Israel to be sending an Ambassador from the United States to Israel that has really been on the side of their existential threat.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax Saturday that a "full investigation" of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings should include scrutiny of former President Barack Obama because he was "fully aware of a lot of this." "I know individuals in the Obama State Department were fully well aware of [Hunter Biden’s alleged influence peddling]," Johnson said during an appearance on Newsmax’s "America Right Now." "Let's face it. President Obama was briefed, together with Vice President Biden, by then-CIA Director John Brennan about the scheme that the Hillary Clinton campaign had to accuse the Trump campaign of colluding with Russia." "They were...

Ron Johnson Clarifies ‘We Don’t Know’ If Biden Bribery Tapes ‘Really Exist’

Senator Ron Johnson joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning. Johnson dropped a political bomb to open the segment. Senator Johnson opened up by explaining the US Senate was investigating Hunter Biden back in 2019 and 2020 but he did not have “the full support of my committee or the Republican Conference to subpoena the Bidens.” Senate Republicans REFUSED to subpoena the Bidens. They truly are on the other side. Johnson then told Maria Bartiromo that Anthony Blinken lied to his committee under oath about contacting Hunter Biden. Blinken told Johnson’s committee he did not email Hunter Biden...

"Federal agencies cannot conceal their wrongdoing behind illegal nondisclosure agreements and related documents," Grassley and Johnson wrote. Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wisc.) sent letters to the Justice Department demanding answers after a former FBI agent said he was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement that did not include the legally required whistleblower exceptions allowing him to come forward to Congress. Whistleblower protections have been enshrined in federal law for more than a decade, and federal agencies may not use taxpayer dollars for nondisclosure agreements without including whistleblower exceptions. However, former Special Agent Steve Friend, who came...

Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says the Chinese-American financial institution Cathay Bank has given Senate Republicans records showing millions of dollars going from Chinese companies to President Biden's son Hunter Biden.Republicans and others started raising concerns during President Biden's successful 2020 White House campaign, if not earlier, that Hunter Biden used the family name and influence while his father was vice president to make millions in overseas business deals, which also could have compromised U.S. national security. Johnson told The Washington Times the records show the Biden family involved with the now-defunct CEFC China Energy, which had connections to the...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said advocating for those who have suffered an injury from the COVID-19 vaccine played a major role in whether he would seek another term in the Senate during the 2022 midterm elections. Johnson told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Thursday that injuries from vaccinations are "not all that rare," but he said not many people are advocating for victims. “One of the main reasons I ran again is nobody else is advocating for the vaccine injury,” Johnson said. “These vaccine injuries are real. They’re serious. They’re not all that rare. That’s what I’m going to...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson this week expressed doubts over the impact of continued U.S. assistance to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, calling the war unwinnable for either side and suggesting the warring nations need to negotiate an end to the conflict.“At some point people are going to have to understand the reality of the situation,” the Wisconsin Republican told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday. “I don’t see a scenario, and I’ve asked — I mean, where is there a path to victory from our standpoint? All I see is a grinding stalemate that day-by-day more people...

The Democrat-constructed narrative of the Jan. 6 riot will continue to morph as more security footage from the Capitol emerges and people get to see that hundreds of protesters were let into the Capitol through a door left open and unguarded at times by police, says former Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). In a wide-ranging interview Wednesday night on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, Johnson cautioned that the Capitol riot narrative has so far been constructed of fragments from different partisans, starting with the second impeachment of Donald Trump and then the House Democrats'...

The FBI interfered in the 2020 elections, not the Russians or any other foreign government, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., tells Newsmax, saying that the agency "preplanned" a "sabotage" of the Hunter Biden laptop story before it ever surface. "I think people should find that shocking," Johnson said Monday on "Rob Schmitt Tonight" "It doesn't shock me, but the FBI had the computer, we think, as early as December 2019." Whistleblowers, Johnson said, have said the FBI had a scheme in August 2020 to downplay any derogatory information on Hunter Biden as the presidential election approached. "That same month they provided...

As chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) had one job: win the Senate majority. Not only did he fail, but he did so in spectacular fashion — through calamitous mismanagement of the NRSC that left Republican candidates under fire without air cover in the final critical months of the midterm elections. Now Scott is trying to deflect blame for the GOP’s disastrous showing. So, it’s worth reviewing the record of his catastrophic tenure at the helm of the GOP’s Senate campaign arm. According to the New York Times, by July of this year, Scott’s NRSC...

Sen. Ron Johnson criticized top Senate Republicans Sunday in the wake of the party failing to retake control of the chamber and suggested the conference should elect different members to leadership posts. The Wisconsin Republican, who narrowly won reelection against his Democratic challenger, blamed leadership for sowing “dysfunction” by failing to have a unified message and working with Democrats at times to pass bipartisan legislation. “We need to do a real assessment of what went wrong. The last two years, we had … a number of our colleagues join Democrats spending like drunken sailors,” he said on Fox News’ “Sunday...

It must have really irked Wisconsin Public Radio to report that Sen. Ron Johnson has been declared the winner of his race, giving him his third term in the upper body. However, rather than simply reporting on the Johnson victory, WPR made sure to let their partisan bias reveal itself in some bitter sliming of Johnson.

The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that Republican Senator Ron Johnson will defeat Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Johnson has represented Wisconsin since 2011. With this win, he will serve a third term.

If it’s a conspiracy theory, it is one that has a lot of evidence to back it up.A whistleblower from the EcoHealth Alliance has come forward with an allegation that COVID was manufactured in a lab–and the funding came from the CDC and was funneled through the EcoHealth Alliance. The whistleblower is no low-level factotum: it comes from the former Vice President of the organization himself.A former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization “developed” SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous.“The process of developing SARS-COV2...

PolitiFact had the audacity to argue like President Joe Biden’s eco-extremist policies didn't really have anything to do with America’s energy inflation crisis, continuing to prove why its worthless so-called “fact-checks” belong in the trash bin. The Facebook fact-checker seethed at Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) for daring to tweet in August: “Democrats' radical green energy policies caused record gas prices. They want to fundamentally transform our economy." PolitiFact rebuked Johnson for his wrongthink and falsely stated: “Green energy policies didn’t cause record prices at gasoline pumps” and suggested Johnson said this, of course, simply because he was “locked in a...

Republicans are surging in several swing state Senate polls, taking the lead in Wisconsin (Ron Johnson) and Nevada (Adam Laxalt) while improving their margin in an (otherwise awful) Georgia poll.
