Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said Democrats are in “the fight of our lives” following President-elect Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. “We’re not gonna change our values,” Raskin said on “All in with Chris Hayes” on Wednesday. “We’re not gonna abandon American constitutional democracy because we lost an election by … 1 and a half percent. We’re not gonna abandon the rule of law.” “We’re gonna be recruiting and mobilizing hundreds of thousands and millions of more people to get out there and be leaders in this fight,” he added. “What else can we do?

Capitol Hill Police Chief J. Thomas Manger has rebuffed a request from the House Subcommittee on Oversight for documents pertaining to the investigation of a key witness in the 2022 Oath Keepers trial. Manger replied last month to a letter from U.S. Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Oversight, asking for two disciplinary reports on Special Agent David Lazarus. A Blaze Media investigation in October revealed that Lazarus appeared to lie to the FBI and again on the witness stand about his whereabouts during a confrontation between members of the Oath Keepers and Capitol...

Jason Miller, a top aide to President-elect Donald Trump, delivered a real-time fact check of Anita Dunn, a longtime adviser to President Joe Biden, who claimed Biden’s DOJ was not weaponized against his political opponent. The FBI conducted an unprecedented raid on August 8, 2022, of Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago home. Trump, Biden’s political opponent, was later indicted for possession of classified documents, a similar incident that also put Biden in hot water. Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s classified documents case, said Biden was “an elderly man with a poor memory” and did not prosecute him.

Fox News is rejecting pressure from the White House to retract stories about alleged Biden family corruption in the aftermath of the FBI’s arrest of a former informant. In a letter from Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House, the regime demanded that the conservative news network take down its reporting about Alexander Smirnov’s allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a foreign bribery scheme with Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings which employed his son Hunter in a highly paid position despite his lack of industry experience. Smirnov, the source identified in the FD-1023 document that has...

Former senior advisor for President Joe Biden Anita Dunn spoke about the president's decision to quit his reelection campaign, but argued his 'legacy' would be selecting Kamala Harris to be his vice president and political heir. She said: You know, it was rough. And no reflection on the vice president because I think one of the greatest things about Joe Biden’s legacy will be that he made sure that there was a pipeline in which Kamala Harris was going to be the natural person everyone turned to if something happened to him.

Anita Dunn, senior adviser to President Joe Biden, is the reported “fall guy” among the president’s closest advisers for his infamous debate performance. Democrats are in disarray, and many appear ready to cast Biden aside as the party’s nominee. Biden, whom Special Counsel Robert Hur described as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” took ownership of his poor debate performance and vowed to do better next time. Convicted felon Hunter Biden, however, accused Dunn of “setting Mr. Biden up for failure in the debate and for curbing his public appearances,” the New York Times reported:

This is the tale of Kenneth Harrelson, a member of the Titusville Oath Keepers. Harrelson narrowly escaped a major legal hit in federal court when he was acquitted of the rare charge of “seditious conspiracy” related to his role in the January 6 Capitol melee. While he managed to dodge the most severe accusation, he wasn’t off the hook. A jury found him, along with Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers, guilty of obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, among other lesser charges. Though Harrelson avoided the harshest penalties, he still faced a hefty sentence behind bars—a situation made possible...

Just-released U.S. Capitol closed-circuit TV video clips from Jan. 6, 2021, show Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus gave false testimony in the Oath Keepers trial, Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker reported. What's the background?

Dunn became a household name in 2021 when he testified before lawmakers about the Capitol riot, recounting how he had seen Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers being attacked...

In a tweet directed at Fox News’s Tucker Carlson last August, Dunn asked “why is murder an appropriate response to property damage but property damage isn’t an appropriate response to murder?”

The Capitol Police officer assigned to the protective detail of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on January 6, 2021, appears to have given false testimony about his whereabouts during a key encounter with members of the Oath Keepers, according to an examination of Capitol closed-circuit TV video obtained by Blaze Media. One of the most important federal trials in America in 2022 was barely a blip on the average U.S. citizen’s radar. The first of three January 6 trials bringing seditious conspiracy charges against members of a quasi-militia group known as the Oath Keepers began in late September and concluded...
