FBI agents who probed Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home asked Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday whether they could testify before a grand jury — or even consult their lawyers — as part of an investigation into whether former government officials conspired against the president. According to the filing, the current and former agents were subpoenaed to testify about their work in the the sweeping South Florida investigation into whether federal officials who criminally investigated Trump participated in a coordinated effort to deprive him of his rights. But the agents said they were unsure what they...

A group of pro-Tibetan activists who were peacefully demonstrating against Chinese dictator Xi Jinping when he arrived in Washington, DC, on Thursday were attacked by pro-communist protesters. Protest organizers said they expected over 2,000 Tibetans living in North America to participate, along with Uyghurs and Southern Mongolians who have been oppressed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kongers who lost their freedoms under China’s authoritarian laws, Taiwanese worried about PRC subversion and invasion, and Chinese pro-democracy activists. Scheduled events included a march through Washington, demonstrations at the Chinese embassy, a rally near Capitol Hill, and a candlelight vigil...

House Judiciary Republicans just put a name and a paper trail on what Arlington County has been doing in practice. Commonwealth’s Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti is accused of running a two-track system: citizens get charged, illegal aliens get a workaround, and DACA recipients facing DWIs can be steered onto a “lateral charge” so their status stays intact. We can't even make this crap up. The county’s own trust policy, the GOP report says, even tells local cops not to initiate contact with ICE — violent felons, gang members, traffickers, and terrorism suspects included. ICE detainers get ignored, the suspects go back...

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., tells Just the News his investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci's stewardship of the COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered fresh evidence of government-document destruction and more extensive gain-of-function research that enhances the human lethality of viruses. Paul, an M.D. specializing in ophthalmologic surgery, said the revelations were included in communications on Fauci's phone, computer and diary and were the reason why his committee tried but failed Wednesday to pass a measure granting prosecutorial immunity to a former top aide to Fauci so she could testify freely about the issues. "More explosive information that comes...

An Iowa judge on Wednesday threw out President Trump’s lawsuit over the Des Moines Register’s final 2024 poll and declared that even a wildly off election-eve survey is the kind of “erroneous statement” the First Amendment must protect. RedState readers will surely remember the poll in question. The Register published a wild outlier three days before the presidential election, suggesting Kamala Harris held a lead over her Republican opponent in Iowa. The Hawkeye State was not considered competitive. And it wasn't. Trump went on to win the state by 13 points. It was a 16-point miss that Trump described as...

CC fans are unhappy again. After Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White subbed Caitlin Clark out just shy of her double-double against the Minnesota Lynx, fans erupted, slamming the management. Clark helped her side secure a dominant 96-77 road win over the league-leading Lynx on September 22, 2026. The 24-year-old finished with 27 points, four steals, nine assists, and seven rebounds. She also produced several deep triples throughout the game. However, one of the highlights of Clark’s play came with 1:23 left in the fourth quarter when she connected with Sophie Cunningham for an easy layup. Makayla Timpson gave the ball...

A federal agent assigned to Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Donald Trump said prosecutors kept him in the dark that phone data he was gathering under grand jury subpoenas belonged to members of Congress and that he would have had reservations about doing so if he had been told, according to explosive testimony released Tuesday night by the House Judiciary Committee. Retired Justice Department Inspector General Special Agent Brian Burnett was quoted in the transcript as saying that during his decades working at the DOJ's watchdog, he never once was asked to collect congressional phone data and did not...

More than 300 Utah voters were supposed to receive mail-in ballots for the June primary. Federal prosecutors say the postal worker trusted to deliver them did something else: He separated the ballots from the rest of his route, delivered none of them and dumped the mail in a church parking-lot dumpster. Now that former carrier, 34-year-old Damon Matai Seei of Payson, has been indicted on federal charges involving the unlawful destruction, delay and concealment of mail. The case is a blunt reminder that election integrity can hinge on something as ordinary—and as vulnerable—as one person doing his job. The Justice...

This just in: the House Oversight Project has unveiled never-before-seen photos of Joe Biden’s classified documents, which were found stored at the Penn Biden Center and his home in Wilmington. For years, the government fought to keep these photos hidden away. But now, they have finally been released to the public. See all of the photos right here for yourself: MANY PICS AT LINK............... As you may notice from those images, the way that the FBI handled the classified docs at Biden’s home is extremely different than how they handled the docs during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. For reference, here’s...

Everything coming out of Gaza is Hamas propaganda. The turning point in the Oct 7 war came when the media chose to uncritically publish all of it and politicians and much of the public chose to believe it. There is no such thing as ‘journalism’ in Gaza. All there is organized manipulation. And the manipulators have been greeted with cheers and honors for pushing this propaganda. Gazan photographer and journalist Motaz Azaiza said he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a Gazan mob on October 7, 2023, but chose not to publish the footage because he feared it could put...

A conservative comedian perfectly exposed the shallowness of the support for admitted child killer Lindsay Clancy earlier this month with a simple, yet provocative question. As TGP readers know, a mistrial was declared in the Clancy murder trial after one male juror held the line. Clancy killed her three children and admitted to the crime, but the defense argues she is not guilty by reason of insanity. This set off Clancy’s legion of crazed fans, who have become infamous for their public behavior and wild conspiracy theories. They and the liberal media immediately sought to destroy the brave juror who...

While the same 'current thing' leftists who spent years on climate, oil and "Palestine" now chants that AI will wipe out the human race, FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that the agency is using the technology to actively prevent mass shootings, including school attacks, before they happen.Patel said artificial intelligence helped the bureau prevent possible school shootings in North Carolina and about half a dozen other states, and that he has increased the FBI's use of AI by 605 percent.That is the version of AI that the pause-and-treaty crowd does not want discussed.? JUST NOW: In a MASSIVE win,...

While Americans struggle to comprehend how the jury's deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy case could result in a mistrial, shameless jurors have taken to the media to publicly air their reasoning. The results, thus far, have been horrifying. One astonishingly chatty juror has been thrust into the public limelight to explain to Americans how the murder of three kids can be excused by postpartum psychosis. Paula Devlin. She has been highly willing to give the public a disturbing view of the jury's decision to turn the case into a "feminist" cause. And, it turns out, they are making the case...

An Alabama woman was sentenced to life in prison after she pleaded guilty to killing her newborn in 2023 by placing him in a trash compactor. Jakayla Williams is accused of giving birth in secret at her home in Dothan when she was 18 years old and putting the baby boy in a dumpster with a trash compactor at an apartment complex on the west side of town, WKRG reported. Investigators recovered his body at the Dothan dump, finding the baby wrapped in a mattress protector inside a zipped-up duffel bag. Authorities believe the child was alive when Williams placed...

Walk through the district of Whitechapel in the East End of London today, and you’ll feel like you’re in the slums of Bangladesh — so glaring are the Bengali shop signs, the East London Mosque, the hijabs and salwar kameez, and the market stalls shouting in Sylheti. But mass migration, true to its name, has remade far more places than Whitechapel. From Greater London, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, and Luton, among others, the U.K. looks and feels far removed from the recognizably British country it was just 30 years ago. That’s largely because of the sheer volume of immigrants, but also...

The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has broken his silence, saying eight fellow jurors behaved like “activists” who wanted her found not guilty from the first day of deliberations He said that even as three young children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, lay at the center of the case due to their brutal murders, other jurors wanted to exonerate Clancy almost immediately. Michael P. Desronvil, 48, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts spoke with Fugitive TV’s Ray Marcel after a mistrial was declared September 4. Judge William Sullivan ended the trial after the jury of nine women and...

America, I regret to inform you that the Clancy jurors are still talking. One juror in particular is continuing to do massive damage to the credibility of the 11-1 decision that resulted in a mistrial. Nine "angry women" and two beta-males were unwilling to convict Clancy, and it increasingly looks like they had an axe to grind. The lone holdout juror — a black man effectively doxxed in a smear campaign — was ultimately able to hold true to his convictions despite what looks like an agenda-driven environment. The picture these women are painting with their needless comments is that...

I can’t seem to be able to copy and paste the text of this article here so you need to use the link. Regardless, the point is that just as we need people to protect us from the people trying to protect us from Climate Change and Covid, we now need someone to protect us from the people trying to protect us from AI. Trump himself in the article compares the AI danger hoax to the climate change hoax. I understand why these various AI CEOs are calling their own product a threat to humanity - they want regulatory capture....

Federal investigators seek six years of records involving Newsom’s international travel, outside funding, and expenditures related to his residence and personal expenses. The federal government is conducting a criminal investigation related to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s international travel and its funding, according to subpoenas reviewed by The Standard. The subpoenas — which were issued in early September and requested testimony and communications with the governor, among others — seek six years of records involving the California State Protocol Foundation, a nonprofit that has paid for Newsom’s overseas travel, as well as communications with a circle of his current and former aides,...

For the second time in recent weeks, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents found illegal aliens locked inside freight cars as temperatures in the region continue to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The latest incident involved three illegal aliens locked in a hot freight-train auto hauler with no means of escape. On Monday, agents assigned to the Uvalde Border Patrol Station conducted a search for illegal aliens on rail cars at a freight train siding near Knippa, Texas. The corridor is a major freight route between the U.S.-Mexico border and San Antonio. The arduous task involves daily searches of hundreds of...
