New York Post columnist Miranda Devine is calling on the FBI and Secret Service to finally produce the full truth about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt against President Donald Trump — an attack she says federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning.

[snip] Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section...

We are all owed an explanation from the @fbi about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who appears to have been groomed into becoming Trump's attempted assassin. It's been over a year. The official line is implausible and invites conspiracy theories. The president demanded answers months ago. A man was murdered. What is going on?

Jeffrey Epstein’s butler of 18 years told The Telegraph on Friday that there’s no way the sexual predator killed himself and highlighted his employer’s close relationship with Bill Clinton, even providing photographs of the former president aboard the infamous “Loilta Express” plane.

Hillary and Bill have both been subpoenaed by Rep. James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky who serves as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. They’ll likely be asked about their...
