A judge has ruled that Special Counsel John Durham’s office must limit the evidence it plans to use in court to try to show a “joint venture” between Michael Sussmann and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer, has been charged with lying to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker when he handed over data in September 2016 that claimed to show communications between former President Trump’s presidential campaign and the Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank.

A Russian official has boasted that Russia would destroy NATO countries in "half-an-hour" if conflict escalated to the use of nuclear weapons. Dmitry Rogozin, Head of Russia’s Space Agency Roscosmos and former Deputy Prime Minister, said Sunday that in the event of a nuclear war, "NATO countries will be destroyed by Russia in half-an-hour." ON WORLD WAR II ANNIVERSARY, ZELENSKYY SAYS EVIL HAS RETURNED He stressed that such an event "cannot be allowed because the consequences will impact the [entire] Earth."

Because Putin and the Russian army wrongly invaded Ukraine without provocation and committed numerous war crimes in the process, the world's democracies should issue a $100 million reward for the capture of Putin for his war crimes.

One of the Supreme Court's longtime reporters said the "leading theory" is that a conservative clerk leaked the majority draft opinion indicating the high court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. Nina Totenberg, a legal affairs correspondent for NPR, said the only theory that makes sense is that the leak came from someone who "was afraid that this majority might not hold." "The leading theory is a conservative clerk who was afraid that one of the conservatives might be persuaded by Chief Justice Roberts to join a much more moderate opinion," Totenberg said during an appearance Sunday on ABC's...

FOX News is a shell of its former self. Earlier this week The Gateway Pundit reported on how FOX News joined the mainstream liberal media cabal and boycotted coverage of the “2000 Mules” documentary on the nation-wide ballot trafficking conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election. To his credit, Tucker Carlson did invite True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht on his top-rated program the day after the premiere of the movie at Mar-a-Lago. But besides Tucker’s segment, the channel has kept any mention of the historic documentary off of its airwaves. On Saturday night election intelligence investigator Gregg Phillips told the...

@julie_kelly2 30 days ago, a jury acquitted 2 men accused of conspiring to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer amid a clear case of FBI entrapment. Jury did not reach a verdict on two other men--DOJ said it planned to refile charges but has not. The men remain in jail: Atty for Adam Fox, the alleged ringleader, filed a motion asking the judge for an acquittal for his client. The motion was filed on April 22. No response from the court.
