FBI Director Kash Patel faces questions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday morning, during which Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed that whistleblower revelations showed that Joe Biden’s FBI targeted not just Donald Trump, but a wide swath of Republican organizations — including Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.
WASHINGTON — Federal agents seized three computers, two iPhones and reams of documents from former Trump national security adviser John Bolton’s house during their Aug. 22 raid, according to court records — which also revealed that the 76-year-old could soon face charges that may land him in prison for more than a decade.
The feds raided Bolton’s Bethesda, Md., home and Washington, DC, office as part of an investigation into allegations that he snuck national security files out of the White House during President Trump’s first term by emailing them to family members on a private server, high-ranking FBI officials told The Post at the time.
The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, issuing subpoenas as part of an inquiry into whether she submitted fraudulent information on mortgage applications, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The initial scrutiny has centered on Cook’s properties in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Atlanta, with investigators using grand juries as part of the probe, the officials said.
There are times when reading a list of projects funded by the United States federal government sounds more like parody than reality.
The Department of Government Efficiency — unlike Congress, it seems — is still working hard every day to identify and eliminate waste and fraud from the federal government funded by our taxpayer dollars. And this week’s update included some profoundly idiotic programs and grants that were, until now, recipients of our hard-earned cash
A batch of intelligence officials reportedly were aghast when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shared the name of an ‘undercover’ agent on social media earlier this month.
But senior intelligence officials tell the Daily Mail that this ‘undercover’ CIA official did not have her cover blown; In fact, the agent is well-known publicly as an agency employee and even was scheduled to speak at an intelligence conference in April.
The DNI posted on August 19 the names of 37 current and former intelligence officials who would be stripped of their security clearances. Her letter accused the officials of politicization, failure to protect classified information, violations of tradecraft and other detrimental conduct.
Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke out Tuesday for the first time since his Maryland home and Washington, DC office were raided by the FBI on Friday — and he came out swinging against his former boss.
In a series of X posts, Bolton was back to decrying the 45th and 47th president’s foreign policy — as well as the law enforcement actions targeting him.
President Trump fired Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook Monday over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.
“Pursuant to my authority under Article Il of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” Trump wrote in a letter addressed to Cook, which he posted on Truth Social.
President Donald Trump has once again shaken the Washington establishment by taking aim at the Smithsonian, lambasting its museums for promoting woke narratives instead of celebrating American achievement and a “bright future.” He has launched a 120-day review of eight major museums, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture, demanding the removal of what he calls “divisive” or “anti-American” content. This is not a trivial cultural critique; Trump frames it as a bold effort to restore patriotism and reclaim the nation’s historical narrative from the grip of woke ideology.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard began a fresh strike Tuesday against national security officials whom President Donald Trump deems political enemies, announcing she had revoked the clearances of 37 people, including several currently serving U.S. intelligence officials.
Gabbard’s unusual action targeted current and former officials involved in a 2017 assessment of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election that the intelligence czar has sought to undermine, individuals involved in Trump’s impeachments during his first term, and an array of others who worked for former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
US politicians seem to know something about the stock market that ordinary Americans don’t.
Since April 2020, the value of the S&P 500 has surged by a heady 165pc. But over the same period, the stocks most purchased by members of Congress or their families have registered paper gains of no less than 465pc.
That’s according to a trading strategy designed by a start-up called Quiver Quantitative. American lawmakers are so consistently successful that a flurry of new platforms and apps now compile filing data from US politicians as a key input in strategies for retail investors and even hedge funds.
Same happens in Canada.
In a creepy Substack video, Trump-hating James Comey, former FBI director-turned amateur life coach, uses Taylor Swift lyrics to bash the president.
He titles the five-minute rant, “On Taylor Swift,” but spends a lot of time griping about Trump, who last week had the nerve to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and try to jumpstart negotiations to end the deadly Ukraine-Russian War.
Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power. Martin confirmed that his office is reviewing criminal referrals involving Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Attorney General Letitia James, and matters tied to the Russia hoax and January 6 investigations.
These rascals have violated every law and every standard of decency, all while scolding us for our lack of refinement.
Long following — and long suffering — consumers of political news who lean Republican suffer from chronic pessimism. This may or may not be through fault of theirs, but the syndrome itself is too widespread to be deniable.
It works like this. If Democrats are in power and they announce an “investigation” of Republicans, we may rest assured those Repubs will be broke and broken at the end of the process.
The era of defining crime deviancy down is over. That is the most important message to come out of President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C.
The late Democratic senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York coined the phrase “defining deviancy down” in 1993 to describe the normalizing of antisocial behavior in contemporary America. Levels of deviancy once regarded as unacceptable become the new norm, hardly worthy of attention.
It's so funny to me that the Democrats seem to want safe streets to be coded as a Republican issue. No one is forcing them to side with criminals! pic.twitter.com/gOmSsKJZz4

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday night rescinded Washington, D.C., policies that restrict the local police from aiding in immigration enforcement as she moved to tighten the Trump administration’s grip over law enforcement in the nation’s capital.
The two-page order from Ms. Bondi also declared that Terry Cole, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, who had already been overseeing the federal takeover of the city’s police department, was now the “emergency police commissioner,” with “all the powers and duties” invested in the city’s police chief, Pamela A. Smith.
