Tensions are boiling inside the Department of Justice regarding President Donald Trump's appointment of an inexperienced prosecutor to handle explosive cases against his political enemies – including James Comey and Letitia James. Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for the Eastern District of Virginia forged ahead with convening a grand jury against former FBI Director James Comey, despite having little to no support from Attorney General Pam Bondi's team. Other reports suggest that the DOJ didn't want to go after Comey yet because they were more focused on landing charges for disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton, whose home...

Federal agents executing a search warrant at the downtown office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton in late August seized a cache of documents marked as classified, according to court documents. The office mission was the second such search conducted by the FBI following an early-morning raid at Bolton's home. The application for the warrant at his office, according to the filing, was to search for "evidence of a crime" and to locate potential "contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed." An inventory of the property taken at Bolton's office indicates several electronic devices, as well as...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. In the summer of 2024 – as the Presidential election was nearing – the FBI, along with the DOJ’s Public Integrity section and the US Attorney’s office for the Western District of Texas, launched a federal investigation into Tom Homan “based on evidence of payment from FBI undercover agents in exchange for facilitating future contracts relating to border enforcement.” It is alleged that on September 20, 2024, hidden cameras captured Homan accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives to...

Americans paying attention have long known Biden’s Handlers weaponized the DOJ/FBI against Normal Americans. They’ve also known Joe Biden was their doddering, stumbling, little girl and woman groping, barely conscious mouthpiece. President Autopen was the man that very nearly wasn’t there. The FBI surveilled and harassed parents who expressed their concerns about the political and sexual indoctrination of their children to local school boards. Likewise, were Catholics branded “radical traditional Catholics” surveilled. Then FBI Director Christopher Wray serially lied about that, claiming those tactics were confined to a single FBI field office and he immediately ended the practice, so shocked...

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115239044548033727 Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we...

In news that should not surprise anyone, the Biden regime had Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA squarely in its crosshairs. As Fox News reported, Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for an annual oversight hearing of the FBI on Tuesday morning. He has come under fire for his initial handling of the Kirk assassination by a radical left terrorist. During the hearing, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that an FBI whistleblower revealed to him an FBI project called “Arctic Frost” that targeted groups like Kirk’s TPUSA. “92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under the...

The Deep State used its investigative tools to try to intimidate or stop Charlie Kirk from being a conservative leader.Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA was on a short list of Republican groups targeted by President Joe Biden’s FBI under the direction of then-Director Christopher Wray. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, dropped that bombshell Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee regular hearing on the oversight of the FBI, along with a revolting new document.“It’s well-understood that your predecessor left you an FBI infected with politics,” Grassley said in his opening statement, speaking to current FBI Director Kash Patel. As proof, Grassley shared...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the existence of a note written by Charlie Kirk's assassin prior to the killing last week, but he has declined to offer details. [cut] Discord vice president Jud Hoffman confirmed on Friday that there had been “communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.” Cox declined to offer details about the note but appeared to confirm its existence when asked about it on CNN. “Those are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and...

Arizona State University(ASU) could be in hot water with the Trump Justice Department after a club there accused the university of refusing to allow a vigil for Charlie Kirk without a slew of extra expenses and difficulties. College Republicans at ASU explained that university leadership would not let them hold a prayer vigil without a venue much too large for their purposes or a budget with a massive amount of security and administrative fees to top it off. Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the DOJ‘s civil rights division, promptly responded with a warning to the university that its...

In a significant legal decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned a lower court ruling that had prevented the Department of Justice, under former President Donald Trump, from accessing the state’s voter rolls. This reversal marks a critical development in the ongoing debates over voter registration and election integrity in the United States. Leading the charge in these efforts is Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who is actively working to identify and eliminate ineligible and illegal voters from state databases, a move that has sparked considerable discussion and controversy. The ruling is expected to have wide-reaching implications for election-related...

The bullet used to kill conservative activist Charlie Kirk was engraved with transgender and anti-fascist ideology, according to a law bulletin. The notice sent to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents said that bullets found inside the rifle, a .30-06 caliber hunting rifle, contained the messaging on them.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case. Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list. “None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said. AUDIO: Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of...

As I previously reported, triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, who was wrongfully imprisoned by Southern District of New York Democrat operatives over being paid an approved salary for his part in getting miles of privately funded border wall built in Texas and New Mexico, was released from prison to home confinement in August. One of the requirements for his home confinement is that he submit to a drug test at random times weekly. If home confinement participants fail to take the drug tests, they are put back in prison. The drug testing center Kolfage is required to travel to...

Newly released notes taken by high-level Department of Justice (DOJ) officials during a March 6, 2017, meeting with FBI leadership expose some of the lengths the FBI engaged in to cover up its spying on the 2016 campaign of President Donald Trump. The notes were released on May 8 by lawyers representing former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann as part of an effort to clear him on charges of having lied to the FBI. The notes, in reality, appear to do little to exonerate Sussmann but do provide quite a bit of information on the FBI. The meeting at...

In a tit-for-tat response to the New York Post’s explosive report alleging Hunter Biden introduced a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm he was working for to his vice president dad, the Daily Beast has come up with a scoop [1] that the hard disks in which Hunter’s emails were found were provided to Rudy Giuliani by a Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui on behalf of dissident members of Chinese Communist Party. According to the report, “Weeks before the New York Post began publishing what it claimed were the contents of Hunter Biden’s hard drive, a Sept. 25 segment on...

Jeff had this earlier today, but it’s a long time coming for some groups. The Justice Department is mulling banning gun ownership for those who identify as transgender. It goes beyond the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that occurred on August 27, where two kids were shot and killed, with another 17 injured. Since 2020, 40 percent of mass shooters, or would-be mass shooters, have been identified as transgender or suspected of being one. If those clamoring for government to “do something,” this is a good first step: A DOJ source told the Daily Wire that...

A far-left federal judge erupted during a hearing on Thursday after the DOJ dismissed a case against a DC man who threatening to kill President Trump.
