The Office of Special Counsel has launched an investigation into Jack Smith for possible violations of the Hatch Act. Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House. The Office of Special Counsel opened the investigation after Senator Tom Cotton earlier this week sent a letter alleging Jack Smith’s actions politically harmed Trump during the 2024 election. The New York Post reported: The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first...

The FBI and other government agencies have a copy of the video from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell on the night he died, which includes the so-called “missing minute” from the version of the tape that was released publicly. According to a report from CBS News, the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general have a copy of the video containing the minute from 11:59 p.m.-12:00 a.m. that was not included in the public release. Government officials have cited the video as crucial evidence that Epstein died by suicide, but critics have raised many questions about...

The filing marks the second time the DOJ has made a complaint against a federal judge this year. The department also filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in February. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday announced that the Justice Department (DOJ) has filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg over comments he's made about the Trump administration.

He also oversaw...

The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced that it is forming a Strike Force to investigate Barack Obama and Obama Administration officials for the coup d’état to defraud and overthrow the incoming President, Donald Trump, in 2016. The new team will “assess the evidence publicized by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and investigate potential next legal steps which might stem from DNI Gabbard’s disclosures.” Pam Bondi said in a statement, “the Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people. We will...

The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation. President Trump made clear this week that Tulsi Gabbard was back in his good graces. A few weeks ago, Mr. Trump excoriated Ms. Gabbard, one of his top intelligence officials, over a video she filmed during a trip to Asia that he saw as self-promotional, and she was left out of some meetings in the lead-up to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to two people with knowledge of what happened. But on Tuesday...

The conservative legal group, Article III Project, is filing a judicial complaint against a federal judiciary panel of mostly Democrat-appointed judges after they decided not to extend Alina Habba’s term as President Trump’s interim New Jersey US attorney. “House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries corruptly gave 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges their marching orders: ‘Fire New Jersey U.S. Attorney @AlinaHabba,’ “wrote Article III Project president Mike Davis on X following the panel’s decision. “And these New Jersey activist judges—15 of whom were appointed by Obama and Biden—saluted,” Davis continued. “This violated Canons 2, 3, and 5 of the Code of...

Unfortunately, I...

Senate Republicans are not happy with House conservatives they view as hijacking the congressional agenda to make the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein-related files their burning focus. GOP senators say the matter should be left to President Trump and the Department of Justice and want House lawmakers to pay more attention to finding a way to avoid a government shutdown at the end of September. Instead, House Republicans on the Rules Committee have brought their chamber to a partial standstill by refusing to vote down Democratic amendments to force the publication of Epstein-related files. The House is about to leave town...

A House panel Wednesday voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., offered a motion during a House Oversight Committee subcommittee hearing to call on Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to subpoena people with possible links to Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former associate of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. "I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton...

DNI Tulsi Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning that include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish Russia Collusion hoax knowing there was no proof to back it up. Obama was behind the coup against President-elect and then President Trump that sunk the US government into turmoil for at least three years. Today’s document release follows Friday’s document dump by ODNI Tulsi Gabbard of a declassified December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax. Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he...

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld 1. No Formal List Exists The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such. 2. Avoiding Legal Risk Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled. 3. Victim Protection Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions. 4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a...

DOJ has declassified key new documents detailing how the Comey FBI and Peter Strzok ignored a major national security breach by Hillary Clinton they should have thoroughly investigated as part of a counterintelligence case, but they went after Donald Trump instead ... When are you going to get off this ignoring stuff? Steele was paid by FBI simultaneously as he was being paid by Clinton. You can do the math. They set Steele up inside Clinton campaign. He was using Danchenko as a cutout. Clinton put him there through Strobe Talbott, another name you are omitting from this that should...

The walls are closing in on Obama’s Deep State. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard dropped a political nuke Sunday morning on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo. Gabbard confirmed that multiple intelligence whistleblowers—some of whom helped compile the now-debunked 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)—are “coming out of the woodwork” and preparing to hand over sworn affidavits to the Department of Justice.

I was his lawyer. I know things that court orders won’t allow me to disclose.I was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. I know the facts, some of which I can’t disclose because it is privileged or subject to court-imposed sealing orders. But what I can disclose makes several important things clear: Epstein never created a “client list.” The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several “clients.” These names have been redacted. They should be disclosed but the courts have ordered them sealed. I know who they are. They don’t include any current officeholders. We don’t know whether the accusations are true. The...

President Donald Trump’s administration needs to provide additional explanations for statements that Attorney General Pam Bondi and United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba made about evidence associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony related to the disgraced, late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”
