Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently exposed a scandal revealing federal employees stealing millions of taxpayer dollars to purchase luxury cars, jewelry, and vacations. The story broke on The Daily Wire on March 19, 2025, and reveals more than a decade of corruption from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), originally established to mediate disputes between unions and businesses, eventually devolved into a haven of unchecked extravagance and nepotism. Investigations into FMCS corruption date back to the early 2010s during the Obama administration; despite disclosures of lawlessness, significant action never happened due to political inaction and a...

An FBI agent who claimed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani might have been "compromised" by Russian intelligence agents while working in the first Trump administration was arrested Monday on charges related to the alleged unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

From his wildly popular podcast to the No. 2 post at the F.B.I., Dan Bongino joins Kash Patel, President Trump’s former election surrogate, to lead the agency at a turning point.In the closing minutes of his podcast, the right-wing provocateur Dan Bongino made a promise. Joining the F.B.I. as its deputy director, he acknowledged, would require a stark change in approach after years of making his name as a pugilistic pundit. “I have to stay out of the political space because it’s the right thing to do and it’s the rules,” he said during his last episode on Friday. He...

"Thousands of pages of documents." "I have the FBI going through them." "It's now in the possession of the FBI." "Kash is going to get me a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld."

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The head of the FBI in New York forcibly resigned Monday in the latest high-level shakeup at the bureau under the Trump administration. James Dennehy, a well-regarded leader in the New York law enforcement community who also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, told the office he was forced to submit his resignation as assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's New York field office, one of the bureau's most visible posts. "Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did. I was not given a reason for...

Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries. “I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites. “Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.” In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress,...

The federal whistleblower protection agency has concluded the IRS wrongly retaliated against two agents who blew the whistle on political interference in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation and may have violated federal law by trying to gag the agents from disclosing wrongdoing, according to correspondence to Congress made public Wednesday. The Empower Oversight whistleblower center, which represented one of the agents, Gary Shapley, disclosed the findings of the Office of Special Counsel in a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Empower Oversight had filed a complaint with OSC in May 2023 alleging that Shapley and his...

New leadership at the FBI is starting an investigation into the origins of the agency’s plan a decade ago to infiltrate the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump using two female undercover “honeypot” agents. The off-the-books investigation, launched in 2015 by former FBI Director James Comey, was revealed by an agency whistleblower in a protected disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and first reported exclusively by The Washington Times in October. In the intelligence community, a honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -FBI employees were ordered on Sunday to answer a questionnaire about any work they may have done on criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, stoking fear about a fresh round of firings at the law enforcement agency. The list of questions in the memo, seen by Reuters, direct employees to give their job title, any role they played in the investigations into the Jan. 6 riot by supporters of President Donald Trump and whether they helped supervise such investigations.

Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is on shaky ground with Department of Justice leaders for refusing to deliver the names of bureau employees involved in Jan. 6 cases and other Trump investigations. President Trump tapped Mr. Driscoll, an FBI veteran, to lead the bureau temporarily while his nominee for director, Kash Patel, goes through the Senate confirmation process. But questions remain over whether Mr. Driscoll can stay in the job before Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday ordered Mr. Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees...

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Justice Department cannot share special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents report with members of Congress. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon extended the hold she had placed blocking the DOJ from sharing with four lawmakers Smith's report on his probe into President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. "In short, the Department offers no valid justification for the purportedly urgent desire to release to members of Congress case information in an ongoing criminal proceeding," Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday, the day after Trump returned to office. Cannon, who dismissed...

Yes, he was being serious. Joe Biden is a congenital liar who can’t seem to remember anything, so I have no idea whether what he said he did a month ago is true, but apparently…Biden is lamenting his decision to appoint Merrick Garland because the prosecutor failed to persecute Trump quick enough and hard enough: President Joe Biden is quietly expressing regret about appointing Merrick Garland as attorney general. According to a report in The Washington Post, Biden believes Garland was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and allowed for an...

Outgoing US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday defended his persecution aggressive prosecution of Trump supporters who merely walked through the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Garland released a statement ahead of Congress’s certification of the 2024 election. More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – have been charged by Merrick Garland’s DOJ in the last four years. Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag. Merrick Garland defended his actions and told a whopper of a lie about DC Metro and Capitol police officers. “On this...

This “FBI agent” who struggles to get out basic sentences is trying to tell the media that a terrorist with an Isis flag who drives through a crowd of Americans is not a terrorist. This is the world that we’re living in. VIDEO AT LINK................

WASHINGTON — DC US Attorney Matthew Graves announced Monday that he will resign before President-elect Donald Trump retakes the White House — likely avoiding an involuntary departure after controversial decisions not to criminally charge first son Hunter Biden and most local crimes. “Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” Graves said in a statement announcing his resignation, effective Jan. 16. “I am deeply thankful to [DC Delegate Eleanor] Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General [Merrick] Garland for placing his trust in...
