A new report details how President Trump has allegedly transformed the presidency into a personal money-making venture, enriching himself and his family through cryptocurrency schemes. These schemes are intertwined with foreign governments, corporate allies, and criminal actors, allowing Trump to amass billions while dismantling anti-corruption safeguards. The report further documents how the administration has halted investigations into crypto firms that have financially supported the President and his ventures, and also reveals pardons and the rollback of sanctions for individuals connected to his financial dealings. The report emphasizes the urgent need for congressional reforms to address the severe weaknesses in existing laws that enable such alleged corruption.

However, Smith requires assurances from the Justice Department that he won’t face repercussions for revealing information still under seal or protected by grand jury secrecy. Furthermore, Smith is requesting access to files created during his tenure as special counsel to ensure full and accurate answers.

In a recent development, President Trump has requested approximately $230 million from the Department of Justice, funded by taxpayers, to cover expenses related to past federal investigations. These claims, filed before his return to the White House, are awaiting a final decision from the DOJ, potentially involving officials who have previously represented individuals connected to Trump. Critics, including congressional Democrats, have condemned this as a corrupt attempt to profit from his office, particularly given the ongoing government shutdown and the potential financial strain on millions of Americans. Investigations into the matter are now underway, with accusations of this being a scheme to loot taxpayers and a direct violation of constitutional principles.

Gavin Newsom calls for congressional investigation into GOP chat messages, and it immediately strikes me as a significant, yet perhaps predictable, move. The core of this call is simple: leaked messages from a Young Republicans group allegedly revealed a disturbing pattern of antisemitic and racist remarks, including praise for Hitler and discussions of rape and gas chambers. Newsom, in essence, is saying, “If Congress is willing to investigate universities for antisemitism on campus, then shouldn’t the same standard apply when the alleged perpetrators are closer to home?” The logic seems airtight: if the behavior is reprehensible, shouldn’t those in power be held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation?… Continue reading

For years, Republican lawyer Mike Davis has advocated for federal criminal investigations into prominent Democrats. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently approved several investigations, including those targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff, potentially aligning with Davis’s goals. These actions, coupled with a probe into Obama administration officials, are viewed by Davis as steps toward holding Democrats accountable for alleged conspiracies against former President Trump. While Davis hopes these actions lead to indictments, legal experts caution that securing convictions would be challenging given the evidence needed. These investigations are viewed by some as politically motivated distractions.

Following Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a Manhattan detention cell, then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr took a personal role in the investigation. Barr’s involvement included reviewing jail surveillance footage and subsequently stating it supported the conclusion of suicide, despite inconsistencies later identified in that video.

Sources indicate the committee will question Barr about his involvement in the death investigation, which has led to renewed scrutiny and conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death and network.
