Another day, another leak to the Washington Post. A Trump employee told the FBI they moved boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago on the former president’s orders, according to the Washington Post. Apparently only Trump isn’t allowed to take possession of his own presidential records. Barack Obama was never harassed or accused of violating the Espionage Act for storing highly classified documents at a warehouse. According to The Post, the claim from Trump’s worker is corroborated by security footage. Trump’s worker was told to move the boxes after the former president received a subpoena in May for classified documents. According to...

The Department of Justice is as reliable as a North Korean news agency—it certainly has similar credibility numbers. These DOJ officials have been going rogue for years. Sorry to rehash what you already know: the Russian collusion hoax, the fabrication of evidence to secure FISA spy warrants on Trump campaign officials, the suppression of exculpatory evidence in that process, the botched kidnapping plot against a Democratic governor in Michigan, and the actual surveillance operation against the Trump campaign proper in 2016—all of which point to these institutions becoming the Left’s political Gestapo force. There is little reason to believe any...

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — The FBI offered British ex-spy Christopher Steele an “incentive” of up to $1 million if he could prove the allegations in his since-discredited anti-Trump dossier, but the former MI6 agent was unable to back up his claims, according to new court testimony.

Danchenko has pleaded not guilty. FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten, who...

Florida Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried referred to President Joe Biden as "Brandon" in a tweet thanking him for his response to Hurricane Ian, using a nickname originally deployed by Biden's critics, but has been embraced by his supporters in recent months.

In actuality, the crowd was cheering "F*** Joe Biden." "Let's go Brandon" then became...

A letter on Hunter Biden’s infamous abandoned laptop shows the Biden family pursuing a deal with Qatar, undermining the Trump Administration and appearing like an effort at a shadow foreign policy. The letter — retrieved from the “Laptop from Hell” by Congressman Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) office after being in a previously unreadable format — shows James Biden, President Biden’s brother, making an overture to an associate of Qatari Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Thani. They say, “my family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels,” despite unfavorable policies of the “fractured” and “beleaguered” then-Trump...
