Following efforts with our interagency partners, I can report that a career Director level employee at US Customs and Border Protection has been charged with allegedly attempting to defraud FEMA, as well as lying to federal agents.. This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people. Justice will be done. Thanks to our partners @AGPamBondi @TheJusticeDept and our @FBIDetroit team for their work.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel is working "aggressively" to comply ahead of schedule with congressional document requests in an effort to follow through on his commitment for the bureau to provide transparency to the American people, Fox News Digital has learned. On Friday, the FBI sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee notifying the panel that it was handing over a tranche of documents pursuant to a subpoena from Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Fox News Digital has learned that the records shared by the FBI included more than 400 pages on topics the committee had long been seeking, dating...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday announced that three U.S. service members have been arrested and charged with treason, a significant win for new Director Kash Patel after less than two weeks on the job. In a statement, the U.S. Department of Justice said that two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers and a veteran were in the process of attempting to sell national defense intelligence to Chinese agents when they were arrested. “Jian Zhao, and Li Tian, active-duty U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, along with Ruoyu Duan, a former U.S. Army soldier, were arrested today following indictments...

Seth Rich The corrupt FBI has once again refused to release crucial records related to the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich. Attorney Ty Clevenger, who has been battling for years to obtain these documents, reported that the FBI is stonewalling yet again, refusing to comply with his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2016, shortly before WikiLeaks released the infamous Clinton emails. On Monday, Clevenger took to X to reveal that the FBI will not be releasing Seth Rich-related records as expected on March 10th....

"Thousands of pages of documents." "I have the FBI going through them." "It's now in the possession of the FBI." "Kash is going to get me a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld."

The Dog Probably Ate It "It may be time the FBI's New York field office gets paid a visit in the style it's very well accustomed to doling out." Mike Benz Turns out new Attorney General Pam Bondi was a little off the mark earlier this week when she said the Jeffrey Epstein files were sitting on her desk. Actually, it was a six-hundred-pound tar-smeared hairball with a gift tag that read: “To Pamela Jo from her Friends in Blobville, good luck untangling this!” Well, she did tell Fox News host Jesse Waters that the thing sitting on her desk...

After Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime last night, it looked like that the DOJ was set to release new information related to Jeffrey Epstein: more information about the victims, more information on potential co-conspirators, etc. Instead, there was a release of a 200 page binder of old materials - mainly flight logs and Epstein’s contacts, and a completely redacted list of Epstein’s masseuses. The highly anticipated “Phase 1” is a rerun. Even the DOJ admits “the first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi REVEALS in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the FBI is WITHHOLDING Epstein documents from her. 1:32 PM · Feb 27, 2025

Barely recovered from the swearing-in last week of FBI Director Kash Patel, the media and Democrats were dealt another blow with the announcement of Dan Bongino as the bureau's number two. In an emotional appearance on his daily podcast today, Dan Bongino explained how President Donald Trump called him Sunday night to offer him the job of deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Bongino disclosed he had expressed an interest in the position over the past few weeks, but hearing the president officially extend the offer made him “break down a bit.” Bongino, despite hosting one of the...

A lawyer who worked for different Republican senators slammed the appointment of conservative commentator Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director, a position that does not need Senate confirmation, saying the decision was made after GOP lawmakers failed to put previous limits on the Trump administration. Gregg Nunziata, who worked for now Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, said Bongino's confirmation "is what you get when R Senators fail to do their jobs and say no to (Kash) Patel," already confirmed to be the next FBI director.

The F.B.I. director Kash Patel told bureau officials on Friday that he wanted to send 1,000 agents from the Washington area to field offices across the country, with another 500 support staff reassigned to the bureau’s sprawling campus in Alabama, people familiar with the matter said. ...In a statement, the F.B.I. said: “Director Patel has made clear his promise to the American public that F.B.I. agents will be in communities focused on combating violent crime. He has directed F.B.I. leadership to implement a plan to put this promise into action.” ...“I’d shut down the F.B.I. Hoover Building on Day 1...

FBI Director Kash Patel followed up a fiery introductory speech on Friday (Kash Patel Brings the Fire As He's Sworn in As FBI Director— 'There WILL Be Accountability' – RedState) with equally fiery action. He ordered 1,500 staff and agents to be transferred from its Washington, DC, headquarters to various locations across the nation. Some 1,000 agents and staff will be reassigned to cities the Trump administration has designated higher crime locations where they can fight crime rather than engage in political shenanigans. Another 500 staff will be reassigned to Huntsville, Alabama, which is the DC equivalent of exile to...

An FBI Investigation uncovers 256 e-mails between Adam Schiff and Jeffrey Epstein.

Sen. Whitehouse: “Kash Patel, mark my words, will cause evil in this building behind us.”

@charliekirk11 There’s a very obvious reason why Adam Schiff is panicking outside the FBI building this morning… Kash Patel: “Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the last 250 years.”

The Senate on Thursday confirmed Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's choice to be FBI director. The final vote was 51-49. Two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, voted against Patel. Democrats were unanimous in their opposition. Despite his controversial nomination, Republicans rallied around Patel, arguing he is the right person to bring reform to the nation's top law

Trump broke Mitch McConnell. He woke up today, announced he won’t be running for re-election, and then he voted YES to confirm Kash Patel! Good turtle

The US Senate has confirmed Kash Patel as the FBI director, with lawmakers voting 51-49 in favour Trump's controversial choice to run the nation's top law enforcement agency has previously been a fierce critic of the FBI

Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI Director 51-49. All Republicans voted in favor except for Murkowski and Collins and all Democrats were against.

This is a reminder of how slim the Republican “majority” in Congress really is. Mitch McConnell voted “yes” in cloture but will be a “no” for confirmation. If Boozman sits this out, then even Vance’s tie breaking vote may not matter. McConnell also announced his retirement. Kentucky is a “red” state with a purple flair. It has a staunch Democrat governor in Andy Beshear and this seat cannot be taken for granted. Can’t afford another RINO either. The RNC has proven unreliable time and time again to get its act together. Trump cannot carry the water for everyone across the...
