VIDEOThe beeping lie detector went into overdrive during Joe Biden's gun control speech.

The California woman who first accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault passed a 'lie detector' test in August that consisted of two questions. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys sent Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans a report from a polygraph examiner who interviewed her on August 10. But they refused on Wednesday to provide the committee with copies of notes from her psychotherapy sessions. Ford has said she first spoke to a therapist in 2012 about her memories of an ordeal.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina questioned who financed the polygraph test that Christine Blasey Ford reportedly took to corroborate her allegations of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. “If Ms. Ford really did not want to come forward, never intended to come forward, never planned to come forward, why did she pay for a polygraph in August?” Graham asked Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “And why did she hire a lawyer in August if she never intended to do what she’s doing?” “And who paid for it?” Graham continued.

Polygraph tests taken in 2011 by Stormy Daniels and her ex-husband Michael Mosney support Daniels accounts that she had unprotected sex with President Trump in July 2006, according to a report Tuesday. A polygraph examiner specifically asked Daniels in 2011 if she had "unprotected sex" with Trump in July of 2006. According to records published by the Wall Street Journal, Daniels was truthful when she answered "yes." Before taking the lie-detector test in 2011, Life & Style Magazine allegedly offered Clifford $15,000 to share the story about her affair with Trump after Daniel's agent reached out to them, the WSJ...

During a panel discussion Thursday at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference, CIA Director John Brennan was trying to make the point that just because an individual has an “activist” background, that wouldn’t, or shouldn’t, keep him from working for the federal government in sensitive positions. After all, he said, the CIA hired him even after he admitted voting for a communist in the 1976 presidential elections.In 1980, Brennan was trying to obtain a top security clearance for the Central Intelligence Agency, and part of the process involved taking a lie detector test. He was asked: “Have you ever...

If Barack Obama or Mitt Romney weren’t telling the truth at any point in last night’s debate, it appears they believed their own lies. The group that got buzz on Wednesday by paying a security firm to use new truth detecting technology to give both candidates a lie-detector test during the debate said the preliminary results do not indicate any major lies from Obama or Romney. “The lie detector voice analysis tests of the presidential debate were found to be inconclusive by Voice Analysis Technology,” a spokesman for the group, Americans for Limited Government, said Thursday. “The technology can detect...

The amount of cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream is partly regulated by the brain, a study in mice suggests. It counters assumptions that levels are solely controlled by what we eat and by cholesterol production in the liver. The US study in Nature Neuroscience found that a hunger hormone in the brain acts as the "remote control" for cholesterol travelling round the body.Too much cholesterol causes hardened fatty arteries, raising the risk of a heart attack. The research carried out by a US team at the University of Cincinnati found that increased levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin in mice...

Voice stress analysis has been proven effective by law enforcement, but a turf war stands in the way of using it to catch terrorists.

James Chapman was as distraught as any patriotic American about seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan being killed in an explosion set off by a double-agent Dec. 31. The 67-year-old Marine Corps veteran made it clear that he hated to see our nation's security compromised the way it was Christmas Day when a 23-year-old Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, attempted to take down Northwest Airlines Flight 253 with a bomb as it approached Detroit. While many would find it difficult to recognize anything positive in those two recent security breakdowns that prompted a presidential news conference Thursday, Chapman sees opportunity. He...
