Weâve grown accustomed to corporate media lying to us. Itâs the lazy lies that are perhaps most galling. The Wall Street Journalâs recent overheated piece on the Trump administrationâs public revocation of an âundercoverâ senior CIA officer is ridiculously lazy. The CIA spook in question is a very overt member of the intelligence community. Just Google the name Julia Gurganus. âZero Concernsâ Wall Street Journal national security reporter Brett Forrest on Wednesday reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbardâs naming of Gurganus on a list of 37 current and former officials stripped of their national security clearances has âalarmed...

The memo, dated July 20 and signed by Gabbard, directed agencies to not share information with the so-called Five Eyes, the post-World War II intelligence alliance comprising the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, multiple U.S. intelligence officials told CBS News. They spoke under...

The retired CIA spy who says she led the team that helped draft the controversial 2016 U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election meddling has called Donald Trump a âdictatorâ and MAGA supporters âNazisâ â and insists that the now-discredited Steele dossier âmight be true.â Susan Miller, a recently-retired CIA counterintelligence officer, has taken to social media and news media interviews in recent days to tell the story of how she was allegedly hand-picked by former CIA Director John Brennan to lead the team which helped draft the ICA in late 2016, gleefully exposing her anti-Trump sentiments.

But the Republican's well-worn methods of changing the subject when a tough topic stings politically are not working as his White House fends off persistent unrest from his usually loyal base about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Trump has scolded reporters, claimed ignorance and offered distractions in an effort...

NOTUS reporter Jose Pagliery reported, however, that "Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying...

President Donald Trumpâs decision to strike three nuclear sites in Iran could deepen a divide among some of the Republicanâs supporters, including high-profile backers who had said any such move would run counter to the anti-interventionism he promised to deliver. Notably though, immediately following Trumpâs Saturday announcement of the strike, some of those who had publicly spoken out against U.S. involvement voiced their support. The lead-up to the move against Iranian nuclear sites had exposed fissures within Trumpâs âMake American Great Againâ base as some of that movementâs most vocal leaders, with large followings of their own, expressed deep concern...

President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events for now, after a U.S. appeals court on Friday paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access. The divided ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit temporarily blocks an order by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency's lawsuit moves forward.

Critics say the administration is breaking the law and sidestepping the rulemaking process that presidents of both parties have routinely followed.At the Transportation Department, enforcement of pipeline safety rules has plunged to unprecedented lows since President Donald Trumpâs inauguration.Trump recently ordered Energy Department staff to stop enforcing water conservation standards for showerheads and other household appliances. And at one Labor Department division, his appointees have instructed employees to halt most work related to antidiscrimination laws.Across the government, the Trump administration is trying a new tactic for gutting federal rules and policies that the president dislikes: simply stop enforcing them.âThe conscious...

On Fridayâs broadcast of CNNâs âThe Lead,â CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan PĂŠrez reacted to audio of then-President Joe Bidenâs interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur by saying that the interview took place right after the October 7 attack when Biden âhad spent that entire time, obviously, on the phone and working long hours.â And so you could wonder if Bidenâs struggles in the interview are âbecause of fatigueâ or due to his decline. After agreeing with host Jake Tapper that Bidenâs decline got particularly bad in 2023, PĂŠrez stated, âThey did not want this to come out before the...

One of the least understood dynamics about how the DC silos operate, pertains to review and investigative work done by government officials into government misconduct. In essence, special counsels, special investigators and appointed special prosecutors do not look at government activity if that activity can be framed as political. The silos protect themselves from external review.As a consequence, the only administrative review of government misconduct happens when the silos look internally at their own agency. In this short video below Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard outlines that 11 internal investigations are ongoing to target Intelligence Community officials, staff and...

Scott Pelleyâs 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trumpâs executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased. âIt was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,â Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didnât insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic. When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense....

More than a dozen senior lawyers â many with decades of experience working under presidents of both parties â have been reassigned, the current and former officials say. Some have resigned in frustration after they were moved to less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise, according to the sources. âItâs been a complete bloodbath,â said a senior Justice Department lawyer in the division who is not authorized to speak publicly... The managerial jobs vacated in recent weeks have not been filled, so the traditional work of the division has all but stopped.

President Trump placed employees and contractors for government-funded Voice of America on leave last month. US District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said Voice of America is funded by Congress and Trumpâs cuts to the agency are âa direct affront to the power of the legislative branch.â
