The select committee also sent subpoenas to two “Stop the Steal” organizers and a group affiliated with the event that preceded the mob violence. WASHINGTON — Former President Donald J. Trump has instructed his former aides not to comply with subpoenas from the special congressional committee investigating the Capitol riot, raising the prospect of the panel issuing criminal referrals for some of his closest advisers as early as Friday. In a letter reviewed by The New York Times, Mr. Trump’s lawyer asked that witnesses not provide testimony or documents related to their “official” duties, and instead to invoke any immunities...

Trump instructed me to arrange a conditions-based, methodical exit plan that would preserve the national interest. The plan ended up being fairly simple: The Afghan government and the Taliban were both told they would face the full force of the US military if they caused any harm to Americans or American interests in Afghanistan. Next, both parties would negotiate to create an interim-joint government, and both sides had to repudiate al Qaeda. Lastly, a small special-operations force would be stationed in the country to take direct action against any terrorist threats that arose. When all those conditions were met —...

Our country is broken -- it's coming apart at the seams -- and it is not going to fix itself. Repairing it will take effort from all of us. It may require consideration of some big national changes. Too many of us are just sitting back and watching America's decline. It's time to consider any idea that holds some promise for national renewal, any idea that could universally bring us all together and teach us a shared cause. Perhaps even mandatory national service. Mandatory service would require every 18-year-old to serve for a year or more. It is not a...

In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Kash Patel, a former Obama-era DOJ prosecutor, who was essential in uncovering the Spygate scandal. Personally recruited by Congressman Devin Nunes, he spearheaded the investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Russia probe. And later as Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, he pushed forward the release of numerous documents, transcripts, and text messages—so the American people could finally see it all for themselves. What was it like to spearhead this investigation, facing obstacles at every turn?

Regardless of the current dynamic inside the election challenge controversy this is a very interesting move by the White House. Kash Patel is the National Security Council Aide who was the key person assisting House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes. Patel knows all of the details and nuances within the overall ‘spygate’ saga on a very granular level.

A call-center scammer has lost his appeal to overturn a $9m fine – after a court pointed out the crook had specifically waived the right to appeal when he pleaded guilty. Viraj Patel was part of a large India-based criminal enterprise that conned tens of thousands of Americans out of hundreds of millions of dollars: the swindlers would cold-call citizens and pose as US government officials demanding payment for unpaid taxes. But, it turns out that he wasn’t listening very carefully to either his lawyers or the federal district judge who sentenced him in Texas, because Patel was seemingly convinced...

The same House staffer is also a driving force behind the latest Russia records standoff.
