Indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James was defiant Monday in her first public appearance since being hit with federal charges over allegations she committed bank fraud and lied to a financial institution to obtain a lower mortgage rate. “We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and weaponize justice for political gain,” James told supporters of Zohran Mamdani at a rally for the New York City mayoral frontrunner in Washington Heights. “We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy, the erosion of our system of government,” the Empire State’s top prosecutor argued, describing the current state...

The tenant living in the Virginia house at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James's federal indictment is a 'fugitive' from justice, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. James has reportedly allowed her grandniece Nakia Thompson - along with Thompson's three children - to live in the three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020. Now, in an embarrassing twist for Donald Trump's nemesis, Daily Mail has discovered that Thompson is officially listed as an 'absconder' who is being sought by authorities in North Carolina for failing to finish her probation. 'Ms Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions...

Cain and Abel, meet David and Daniel. Ex-New York Gov. David Paterson is accusing his brother of cheating him out of his inheritance — by allegedly tricking their elderly mother into giving him over $7 million before her death. A bombshell lawsuit filed by the former governor claims his younger brother Daniel Paterson, 67, duped mom Portia into transferring the massive sum from her estate to his account through “undue influence, coercion and excessive persuasion.” The sneaky move allowed Daniel and his attorney wife Eloise to bypass a long-standing will ordering the brothers to split their mom’s estate 50-50 —...

[mugshot] Palermo, 3 April (AKI) - The deportation of former Mafia boss Rosario Gambino from the United States to Italy has been delayed, sources told Adnkronos. The 65-year-old Gambino,(photo) cousin of Carlo Gambino, boss of the Gambino crime family, has been sought by Italian authorities since 2001, when a request for extradition was originally denied by US judges. Eleven attempts for his extradition were rejected by US authorities on the grounds that a law known as '41-bis' could be result in Gambino being tortured in Italy. The '41-bis' article of the Italian penitentiary act gives power to the minister...

WASHINGTON — Former aides to Joe Biden and other Democratic flacks were aghast Friday following a report that the 46th president recently met with party bosses to offer to put himself back in the spotlight and boost the ailing party’s image and fundraising. Biden, 82, and wife Jill sat down with newly elected Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin last month to pitch themselves for a revamped campaigning effort, according to NBC News. Recent public polling shows Democrats’ support has cratered, with less than one-third of Americans approving of the party’s performance since President Trump returned to the White House...

How is this not national news?? 🚨 Democrat Governor of Maine Janet Mills’ brother pocketed $22 million into his shell company that was meant for towns in Maine “A year before she took office, her brother Peter Mills, received $22 million through a shell company called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation. This company also received 670 acres of land on the Dead River, all courtesy of a company called Central Maine Power. When Janet Mills assumed office a year later, she immediately approved CMP to clear cut in 145 mile corridor through Western Maine without the endorsement of any of...

To me it was obvious from the start that claims about Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, although pushed intensely and for a very long time by the leftist media, were nothing but a gigantic hoax. Similarly, I knew that the Wuhan lab leak theory made a lot more sense than the wet-market fable. In the same way, it was obvious to me for a long time that Joe Biden was the head of a lucrative crime family – even if the Democratic Party, the legacy media, the CIA, FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice insisted otherwise, and even if 51...

resident Joe Biden is expected to make further use of his clemency power before leaving office next week, potentially extending pre-emptive pardons to individuals who could be targeted for retribution by President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration, according to a senior White House official and a person familiar with the discussions. Biden has not made a final decision on any pardons for people in that group, the White House official said on Friday. The timing for the clemency actions, should Biden decide to grant them, is likely to be during his final hours in office — on Sunday or before noon...

Shaun Maguire alleges Hunter Biden failed to pay his family more than $300,000 in rent in 2019, 2020 ... After his unconditional pardon from his father, Hunter Biden faces accusations that he owes former landlords more than $300,000 in unpaid rent. Shaun Maguire ... "So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now? Thanks Joe," Maguire wrote ... The president signed a "full and unconditional pardon" for his son Hunter on Sunday that applies to federal crimes he committed or may have committed from Jan. 1, 2014,...

That the pardon goes back to 2014 is revealing and damning. . Joe Biden could have commuted the sentence of Hunter Biden. A commutation is less than a full pardon, it maintains the conviction but spares Hunter prison. That would have been the way to maintain respect for norms while playing the sentimentality card, and I'm sure the Bidens were advised to do this. The full pardon goes back to 2014. The statute of limitations for tax fraud is 6 years, and for most other federal offenses like money laundering, it's 5 years. More serious crimes like murder and underage...

If the Bidens want to escape legal accountability for their pay-for-play operation, Joe better be ready to pardon the whole family.. Joe Biden, who spent his vice presidency as the “big guy” behind his son Hunter’s foreign influence-peddling exploits and skated into the presidency because media and tech gatekeepers covered up news of the family pay-for-play business, issued a blanket pardon to Hunter for “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” The pardon doesn’t just apply to the (comparatively)...

Seemingly his entire life, Joe Biden’s brother James “Jim” Biden has benefitted from his brother’s political status. At various moments, he has been a campaign finance maven, a nightclub owner, and a hedge fund mastermind. Jim appears to be a man who wears many hats; but in actuality, he only wears one: Joe Biden’s brother. I detail many of the ways he has lived large thanks to his big bro in my new New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden. One place where James clearly leveraged his proximity to power for money was with Americore Health. Near the end of...

Yet, there was one incident I came across during research for the book where Joe had the opportunity to show empathy for a family that suffered the same fate as he did all those decades ago, but instead he decided to cover for one his corrupt brothers. I document several instances in the book of where Frank Biden used his connection to his famous and powerful money to make ill-gotten cash, but the most shocking Frank Biden story involved a hit-and-run car crash. In July of 1999, Frank Biden let a young friend named Jason Turton drive his Jaguar to...

As RedState reported, a new report from Politico blew up the lengths to which Hunter Biden's legal team went to secure the sweetheart plea deal that would eventually fall apart under questioning from Judge Maryellen Noreika. In a shocking revelation, a threat was lodged to call President Joe Biden as a witness if the now-infamous gun crime Hunter Biden committed was prosecuted. That would have presumably left the DOJ facing the wrath of the White House, and sure enough, pre-trial diversion with broad immunity was eventually offered. The New York Times was also shown the emails that Politico based its...

U.S. — After years of denying the existence of his 7th grandchild, a 4-year-old girl named Navy, Biden has now announced he will be making it up to the youngster by making her the head of one of his Ukrainian shell companies. "It was wrong of me to disown my own grandchild," said Biden after several political consultants held focus groups that determined it was wrong for him to disown his grandchild. "To make up for the lost years, I will be naming little Navy the CEO of a very important little company called Міжнародні пральники, which is in charge...

In this podcast interview between former HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes and journalists Margot Cleveland and Lee Smith, the discussion begins with the recent revelations provided by Senator Chuck Grassley about audio tapes as evidence in the Biden bribery scandal.

More important to America’s future than unearthing Biden family corruption is uncovering corrupt bureaucrats who violate the rule of law.The confidential human source (CHS) behind the detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions was reportedly “highly credible” and used by the FBI in multiple criminal investigations dating back to the Obama administration. Friday’s exclusive by Fox News provides further insight into Sen. Chuck Grassley’s focus on the FBI — as opposed to the Biden family — as the primary scandal in play.“We aren’t interested in whether or not...

Newly unearthed text messages suggest President Joe Biden may have been involved in his son and brother's business deals with the Chinese, DailyMail.com can reveal. Two weeks after a 2018 New York Times story exposed Hunter Biden's connections to a corrupt Chinese Communist Party-linked oil firm CEFC, his uncle Jim Biden texted him saying: 'you need a safe harbor' and 'I can work with you[r] father alone!' The text messages, saved on Hunter's abandoned laptop, are the latest in a growing body of evidence tying the President to Hunter's shady overseas business deals.

Chinese nationals aren’t the only foreigners who enriched the family while Joe Biden was vice president, Republicans on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability revealed today.Another source of ill-gotten riches for the Biden Mafia, arranged through global business wizard Hunter, was a corrupt Romanian who funneled money to the family through one of Hunter’s “associates.”
