The vote failed 211-210, and the full truth remains hidden. As TGP readers know, this measure would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice to publish all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents—including flight logs, communications, and purported client lists—on a publicly accessible website within 30 days. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that in a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly. Last week, Khanna (D‑CA) announced...

In a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly. ..... Snip..... Here are the names of the U.S. Representatives who voted “No” to releasing the Epstein files: Virginia Foxx (R-NC) Nick Langworthy (R-NY) Austin Scott (R-GA) Morgan Griffith (R-VA) Brian Jack (R-GA) Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) Erin Houchin (R-IN)

FBI Director Kash Patel has launched a “Grand Criminal Conspiracy” investigation into the decade-long weaponization of the federal government — a probe that specifically circumvents the statute of limitations, allowing investigators to finally pursue justice for long-buried crimes. According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024. But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks...

...There’s a new video making the rounds, and it’s raising a massive red flag and asking: Did Obama and Eric Holder get paid to rig court cases? That’s the question many are now asking, and the allegations are so serious that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel should take a closer look once they get their offices setup...

A day after a leaks war played out in the media over the (mis)handling of the Epstein files by Attorney General Pan Bondi that started with reports that a disgruntled Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino had not come to work on Friday and featured rumors of threatened resignations and demands for her firing, FBI Director Kash Patel finally spoke out about the controversy. Patel’s comment, posted to his personal X account, will not put the matter to rest, but his statement on his tenure as FBI director is pretty definitive: “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s...

Kash Patel is NOT resigning from his post at the FBI — unless the President himself removes him, according to new reports. Earlier Friday, rumors exploded across social media, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel might join FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in stepping down after growing friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi. Dan Bongino reportedly took a day off following a heated confrontation with Bondi over her suppression of critical evidence tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to CNN and The Daily Wire, Bongino has told confidants he is strongly considering resigning if Bondi remains at the DOJ....

The White House released a statement on the Bondi, Bongino clash on Friday afternoon. Earlier Friday it was reported that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files. The blowup between Bondi and Bongino happened after the FBI, DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide. “Bongino did not report to work Friday amid speculation about his whereabouts, said a source familiar with the perspectives of DOJ leaders who...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files. .... Snip.... FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios. Why it matters: The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout of the administration walking back its claims about Epstein by determining the convicted sex offender didn’t have a celebrity “client list,” and that...

The disgraced financier’s calendar for Monday, Sept. 8, 2014, details his planned meetings with some of the country’s richest men On Monday, Sept. 8, 2014, Jeffrey Epstein had a full calendar. He was scheduled to meet that day with Bill Gates, Thomas Pritzker, Leon Black and Mortimer Zuckerman, four of the richest men in the country, according to schedules and emails reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Epstein also planned meetings that day with a former top White House lawyer, a college president and a philanthropic adviser, three of the dozens of meetings the Journal reported he had with each...

The FBI has officially closed its long-running investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid network—declaring that no charges will be brought against Prince Andrew, effectively clearing him for international travel after years of alleged self‑imposed exile. Dubbed “Air Miles Andy” for his taxpayer-funded shopping trips abroad during his tenure as UK trade envoy, Andrew dramatically halted international travel six years ago amid fears he could face arrest in the U.S. His only known post‑scandal trip came in 2022, flying to Bahrain in private — all while rumours mounted that he was using his connections to profit via his defunct Pitch@Palace enterprise, according...

The nation's spy court has quietly approved a Justice Department request to review information tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants that targeted former Trump campaign associate Carter Page as FBI Director Kash Patel seeks to hand over more Russiagate evidence to Congress. At the behest of President Donald Trump, Patel already declassified a host of documents tied to the bureau's deeply flawed and politically-motivated Trump-Russia inquiry known as "Crossfire Hurricane" back in April. The DOJ’s filings with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court show that the FBI is looking to hand over further information about the Crossfire Hurricane...

Former CIA Director John Brennan has finally broken his silence after news broke that he is under criminal investigation by the FBI for his misconduct during the Trump–Russia probe — and his response was as arrogant and evasive as ever. In a softball interview with MSNBC, Brennan dismissed the criminal referral as politically motivated fiction, refusing to take any responsibility for his role in promoting what turned out to be one of the biggest political hoaxes in American history. The disgraced ex-CIA chief then doubled down on the thoroughly debunked narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help...

Former CIA Director John Brennan and disgraced former FBI Director James Comey are now under criminal investigation by the FBI for potential wrongdoing related to the now-debunked Trump–Russia collusion narrative — including allegedly lying under oath to Congress, according to bombshell revelations from DOJ sources obtained by Fox News. According to DOJ sources, CIA Director John Ratcliffe formally referred evidence of Brennan’s misconduct to FBI Director Kash Patel for criminal review. Meanwhile, a separate FBI probe into James Comey is also active, though details remain under wraps. Sources told Fox News that the feds are exploring a potential “conspiracy” between...

In a shocking interview, an FBI whistleblower revealed the deep state operation within the federal government to sabotage Director Kash Patel, explaining that a little-known piece of the agency’s rule book allows its operatives to launch a counterintelligence investigation into anyone, including the Trump nominee for FBI director. For background, on December 4, 2024, FBI whistleblower Steve Friend appeared on Benny Johnson’s “The Benny Show” to discuss corruption within the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During the interview, Friend shared some shocking information about what he described as a “full counterintelligence investigation” into Kash Patel, President Trump’s nominee for director of...

Americans sent a clear message to the swamp after President Donald Trump swept all seven swing states and secured the popular vote in November. Since then, the MAGA base was promised an administration staffed with change agents eager to uproot the political establishment in Washington, D.C. The winning streak continued after Kash Patel was successfully confirmed to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation alongside Deputy Director Dan Bongino, both of whom have been allies to the president. Patel and Bongino also shared a common mission going into the FBI: The status quo isn't working. Now five months into Patel's tenure,...

The way suspended FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle sees it, he has lived through 1,004 betrayals — and counting. O’Boyle was rewarded for his whistleblower disclosures to Congress with a loss of pay and benefits, attempted character assassination, and what he said is a malicious FBI effort to destroy him and his family. ‘I thought he was going to do the right thing.’ “If the FBI is trying to make you do something that is wrong or illegal or against policy or against rule, you’re supposed to be able to push back and be protected for doing so,” O’Boyle told...

Judicial Watch has sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to unseal records from meetings between Twitter executives and the Biden FBI to censor the American people. The lawsuit was filed in 2023 after the FBI ignored a FOIA request for the records of meetings between June 2020 and December 2022. For some reason, Trump’s DOJ is still fighting against Biden’s censorship efforts, which specifically targeted conservatives, including The Gateway Pundit’s reporting on election fraud, being exposed. FRUSTRATING: So @JudicialWatch has to go to Federal court this morning to fight with @AGPamBondi DOJ and @FBIDirectorKash FBI for...

With the Israeli military engaged in a long-range war with Iran, and President Donald Trump weighing whether to commit U.S. forces to a more active role against the terrorist regime in Tehran, the Trump administration is also looking closely for dangers much closer to home. The FBI under Director Kash Patel is increasingly vigilant against the possibility that sleeper cells — operatives who remain quiet in a target country until ordered into activity — will engage in attacks within the United States, CBS News reported Thursday. It could be the badly wounded Islamic Republic’s last throw of the dice, an...

Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article. The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and revealed exclusively to The Post, are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,”...

FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden. The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News. The new documents were...
