A federal security officer linked to a thwarted Jan. 6 pipe bomb attack cleared her name by providing an alibi: video of her playing with her puppies at the time the devices were placed, sources told CBS News. The FBI has now ruled her out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, according to three sources — but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site. How an innocent woman's name came to be publicly linked to the unexploded pipe bombs is a question that has raised concerns among some senior officials in the Trump...

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) The events of January 6th, 2021 have been declared an insurgency, attempted overthrow of the government, and the greatest threat to democracy in history, according to Democrats and the liberal media. In fact, they tried to impeach President Donald Trump accusing him of inciting the insurrection and failed. Then they launched the largest FBI investigation in history to track down all the persons present at the Capitol that they could identify and prosecute them, but yet not a single person was ever charged with insurrection. All of the claims that...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter announced she will run for the California State Senate in 2028. Christine Pelosi made the announcement amid reports that she could potentially run to replace her mother, who announced last week that she would retire in 2027 after more than 40 years in Washington. Instead, the younger Pelosi will run to replace State Senator Scott Wiener, who is running for Pelosi’s House seat. “We need leaders who advance our San Francisco values and build power for the people. And that’s the kind of representative I will be in the California State Senate,” Christine Pelosi,...

Thanks to the good work of Blaze Media’s Steve Baker, we now have a plausible suspect in the January 6 pipe bomb plot, a former Capitol Police officer and reportedly a current CIA associate by the name of Shaun Rae Kerkhoff.“While nothing is 100% certain and everyone is innocent until proven guilty,” Baker posted on X, “gait recognition software identified a 94% match. Video proximity tracking and human analysis by federal intel sources take it to what I’m told is a 96-98% certainty.”For all the reporting on Baker’s discovery—and it’s important to note that Kerkhoff has not been charged nor...

"Less lethal" instructor Kerkhoff departed the @CapitolPolice roughly six months after January 6. Colleagues learned she joined a three-letter federal intelligence agency. "She promptly scrubbed her social media, phone numbers, and email accounts." https://t.co/TfflaypgFh pic.twitter.com/nzcWS1DzsJ— Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) November 7, 2025

A computer program that compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff produced a 94% match. A forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources. A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs. ‘They were f**king in on it.’ A software algorithm that analyzes...

Blaze News investigative reporters Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman have spent years working to identify the masked individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021. Baker, whom the Biden FBI arrested over his January 6 reporting, revealed to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Wednesday that they have finally locked in on a suspect. What's more, Baker hinted that the suspect's imminent identification will implicate and shame at least one federal agency. Baker told Beck, "When I pulled this thread, I was so...

In the span of less than 10 minutes after a huge crowd of protesters filled the U.S. Capitol West Plaza beneath the inauguration stage on Jan. 6, Capitol Police repeatedly used lethal force on the crowd, targeting people in the head, neck, face, and upper body — actions one use-of-force expert called “criminally negligent.” During that brief span, at least 16 people were shot with kinetic-impact projectiles, including nine who took shots to the top of the head, face, and base of the neck, according to Capitol Police surveillance video obtained by Blaze News. The rounds are designed to be...

A Georgia man who was granted clemency by former President Joe Biden in December has been arrested following a weeks-long investigation into an armed bank robbery, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) announced. Marshall Foskey, 66, of Pembroke, Georgia, is currently jailed and facing charges of armed burglary, armed robbery, armed kidnapping, felony possession of a firearm, and grand theft. Foskey has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple felony burglary charges. The investigation began on October 10 at the First Federal Bank on State Road 200. Investigators say Foskey allegedly displayed a firearm and ordered staff to empty cash drawers....

The BBC misled viewers by doctoring a video of President Donald Trump to make it appear he was encouraging the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a whistleblower memo viewed by the Telegraph. The corporation aired the video during a Panorama program titled "Trump: A Second Chance," which was broadcast a week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The spliced-together version made it seem as though Trump said: "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be with you, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not gonna have...

The FBI is still offering a $500,000 reward for information that helps identify the person who placed pipe bombs at the offices of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021. As part of our ongoing investigation, we're releasing an updated video of the subject, which includes previously unreleased footage, higher quality video, and longer clips of the subject's movements. https://fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/suspected-pipe-bombs-in-washington-dc VIDEO AT LINK..................

Even on Jan 6, your Sergeant at Arms denied my urgent requests for over 70 minutes, while he was “running it up the chain” for your approval. The Pentagon offered National Guard assistance, but I had to decline because your SAA would not grant me the legal authority as required under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970). @StephenM @RepLoudermilk @SpeakerJohnson Chief Sund’s Requests for National Guard Support *Jan 3 at 9:24am Pelosi’s SAA Irving “don’t like the optics” * Jan 3 at 11:53am Senate SAA Stenger concurs with Irving * Jan 6 at 12:58 pm Irving needs to “run it up...

WOAH — Nancy Pelosi tells reporter to 'SHUT UP' when asked why she refused National Guard support on January 6th. The democratic party is fracturing.

A detailed analysis of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs found new problems with the FBI evidence and advances the notion that the case could turn out to be a government-created hoax. A video engineer who spent more than a year examining the pipe bomb evidence submitted a 26-page report to the House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6. Known on social media as Armitas, the analyst was asked on Oct. 4 to submit his report by the legal counsel for the House Committee on the Judiciary. Armitas said he has been working with a Washington-based FBI...

“FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino briefed GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Ron Johnson, Marsha Blackburn and more Monday” EXCLUSIVE: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned. A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his "Arctic Frost" team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of...

After targeting one former FBI director he forced out, Trump raised the prospect of an investigation into a different former FBI director he forced out.For more than four years, a wide variety of Republican conspiracy theorists clung to a ridiculous idea about the Jan. 6 attack: It was federal law enforcement, they’ve claimed, that secretly instigated the insurrectionist assault on the Capitol. The absurd claims grew so common that they were given a name: the “fedsurrection” narrative.Indeed, at the heart of the theory is the idea that insurrectionist rioters were actually the victims on Jan. 6: These poor, unsuspecting partisans...

The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe...

The FBI has acknowledged it had 275 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned. A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events. But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters. The news comes in the wake of claims by...
