Ex-FDA Commissioner Privately Told CIA That Up to 25% of Americans Had Already Achieved Natural Immunity Through Exposure to COVID by May 2020, Unclassified Document Reveals

Newly released documents are raising explosive questions about what pharmaceutical insiders and America’s intelligence community knew about COVID-19 immunity during the earliest months of the pandemic and why Americans were hearing a dramatically different story in public.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released records detailing a May 7, 2020, CIA briefing involving Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner who had joined Pfizer’s board of directors the previous year.

Paul announced on X:

“I released documents showing Pfizer and the CIA privately acknowledged high population immunity as early as May 2020, while the public heard a different story. Americans deserve the truth.”

He pointed to reporting at Brownstone Institute on a newly unclassified CIA meeting summary buried in the latest tranche of records Paul entered into the congressional record.

The date on the briefing is May 7, 2020.

That is two months after the country was shut down. Churches closed. Small businesses crushed. Kids locked out of school. Fauci and Deborah Birx still talking as if this was a rare, novel threat that required indefinite emergency rule until a pharmaceutical product arrived.

Inside the CIA, they were already talking seroprevalence. Seroprevalence is the percentage or proportion of people in a specific population who have antibodies against a specific disease or infectious agent in their blood serum.

AI Warfare & AI Bubble?

The front in Ukraine is largely positional. A wide “kill zone” created by drones makes massed Russian assaults costly and difficult to sustain. Ukraine is closer to collapse for they lack the soldiers and have been turning to drones and robots. Russia has manpower depth and a wartime economy that, while strained, continues to function. Ukraine faces manpower, ammunition, and sustained Western support challenges but has improved its technological edge (especially drones) and defensive effectiveness. Peace negotiations remain stalled, and a protracted conflict remains the most likely near-term trajectory.

What is changing the way wars are fought is the experiments going on in Ukraine. Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for first time. Ukraine is also looking at Humanoid Robots. A US startup, Foundation, sent two Phantom MK-1 humanoid combat robots to Ukraine for trials in early 2026. These are designed to operate conventional weapons like rifles.

Ukraine has become a leader in using unmanned and autonomous systems in warfare, the focus remains on specialized vehicles and drones. The concept of humanoid robots like the “Terminator” is still in its infancy in this conflict, with only early tests having been reported.

Trump DOJ Puts Sanctuary States on Notice: ALL State Agencies Receiving Federal Food Stamp and Social Security Assistance Funds Must Report Known Illegal Aliens to DHS Under Welfare Reform Law Passed by Congress in 1996

The Department of Justice just ripped up a 28-year Clinton-era legal dodge that let sanctuary states hide illegal aliens from federal immigration authorities while collecting billions in welfare money meant for American families.

On Tuesday, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued a formal opinion holding that when a state takes Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) funds, the entire state government, not just the welfare office, must report to the Department of Homeland Security any person the state knows is not lawfully present in the United States.

That is not a new law. That is the 1996 welfare-reform statute Congress actually wrote. The Clinton Justice Department simply pretended it said something else.

“Congress wrote this requirement plainly,” said Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser, who leads OLC. “When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States. Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders.”

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joshua Craddock, the author of the opinion, was even blunter: the new guidance “does not impose new obligations on states.” It “simply restores the original meaning of the statute Congress enacted.” States that take the money “must abide by federal law, and failure to comply may lead to serious consequences, including loss of program funding.”

All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories take TANF and SSI. Federal TANF block grants alone exceed $16.4 billion a year.

Ottawa admits trans-identifying male inmates faced sex assault charges after transfers to women’s prisons

The federal government has acknowledged that trans-identifying male inmates faced sexual-assault charges following complaints from female prisoners, while defending the policy that allows inmates to be transferred to women’s institutions based on gender identity.

The admissions are contained in Ottawa’s Statement of Defence responding to a constitutional challenge filed by Canadian Women’s Sex-Based Rights, or CAWSBAR.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is funding the challenge, the government confirmed that an inmate identified as S/M was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of criminal harassment in May 2020 after a female inmate complained.

Ottawa also confirmed that another inmate, identified as KF/R, was charged with two counts of sexual assault after a complaint from a female prisoner in October 2024.

Charges have not been proven in court.

The government’s defence acknowledges other complaints involving trans-identifying male inmates in women’s facilities. They include a 2018 complaint that led to a police investigation but no charges, a 2021 complaint alleging sexual and physical assault at Fraser Valley Institution and a 2019 sexual-assault report at Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge.

Despite those incidents, Ottawa “wholly denies that any alleged harm to inmates housed in women’s institutions flowed from the implementation” of Correctional Service Canada’s gender policy.

The government argues that individualized assessments and institutional safeguards provide an appropriate framework for managing risks.

CAWSBAR launched the constitutional challenge in April 2025, alleging that permitting biological male inmates to be housed in women’s prisons exposes female prisoners to physical and psychological harm and violates their Charter right to life, liberty and security of the person.

“Female inmates are being exposed to real risks and real harm,” constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury said. “This case is about protecting their safety, dignity and constitutional rights.”

Correctional Service Canada introduced its current gender-diverse-offender policy in May 2022.

In May 2026, the Federal Court rejected Ottawa’s attempt to strike the lawsuit and granted CAWSBAR public-interest standing. The federal government is now asking the court to dismiss the challenge with costs.

Oklahoma City Manager Arrested on 11 Felony Voter Fraud Charges After Falsifying Registration Applications With Other People’s Names

The city manager of a tiny Oklahoma town has been arrested and charged with 11 felony counts of voter registration fraud after investigators say she submitted applications using other people’s names and forged their signatures.

Shonda Lou Barnes, city manager for the Town of Mannsville in Johnston County, was taken into custody at her home Monday afternoon on a warrant charging her with 11 counts of false affidavit in voter registration. She was booked into the Johnston County Jail, KXII reported.

The Johnston County Election Board flagged the applications in late May.

The forms had been submitted from the Mannsville area just before the voter registration deadline so the names could vote in the June primary.

Investigators found multiple applications bearing matching signatures that did not belong to the people whose names were on the forms. Authorities then traced those applications to Barnes.

Johnston County Sheriff Gary W. Dodd did not mince words:

“As one of Oklahoma’s 77 constitutionally elected sheriffs, it is our duty and the duty of every Sheriff’s Office in this State to protect the integrity of our elections — one of the most sacred rights of citizens of this country.”

Another ActBlue Official Pleads Fifth In House Probe of Alleged Foreign Donations

Another senior figure at Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony Tuesday as House Republicans investigate allegations of fraudulent and foreign political donations.

Kimberly Peeler-Allen, a member of ActBlue’s board of directors, invoked her constitutional right against self-incrimination while appearing before the House Administration, Judiciary and Oversight committees, according to sources familiar with her testimony.

Her decision follows similar moves by other ActBlue officials.

ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergalis invoked the Fifth during a closed-door deposition Aug. 20, while CEO Regina Wallace-Jones asserted the same right during congressional questioning in June.

The House Administration Committee began investigating ActBlue in 2023 following concerns that the fundraising platform’s fraud-prevention procedures were inadequate to prevent illegal foreign donations.

Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., has focused in part on ActBlue’s previous practice of not requiring donors to provide credit card CVV security codes.

“We have an entity here with ActBlue, that has raised roughly $20 billion since its creation,” Steil told Fox News.

“We want to make sure that they have the fraud prevention protocols in place to make sure that foreign funds are not coming into U.S. elections.”

Steil acknowledged that witnesses have a constitutional right to invoke the Fifth Amendment but said their refusal to answer questions has frustrated lawmakers seeking information about ActBlue’s operations.

The investigation intensified after The New York Times reported in April that ActBlue’s attorneys had warned internally that Wallace-Jones may have provided Congress with a misleading description of the organization’s procedures for detecting foreign donations.

Wallace-Jones had described ActBlue’s screening system as “multilayered.” According to the Times, however, the organization’s attorneys warned that ActBlue did not always follow the procedures she described, creating what they characterized as “a substantial risk for ActBlue.”

Republicans have denied accusations that the investigation is politically motivated, arguing that foreign money entering American elections would present a serious threat regardless of which party benefits.

ActBlue has denied wrongdoing and has previously said it maintains safeguards against fraudulent and foreign contributions.

Obama-Appointed Judge Hands Sanctuary City a Win, Throws Out Trump DOJ Lawsuit Against Rochester — Rules Federal Law Can’t Stop Local Officials from Blocking ICE

An Obama-appointed federal judge in Rochester, New York just handed the open-borders Left another win, tossing the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the City of Rochester’s sanctuary policies and slamming the door on the case with prejudice.

Senior U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci Jr. granted Rochester’s motion to dismiss on Tuesday and tossed the Justice Department’s amended complaint with prejudice, preventing the administration from simply revising and refiling the case in the same court.

Geraci also denied the Trump administration’s motion for summary judgment as moot.

Geraci was nominated to the federal bench by Barack Obama in 2012 and assumed senior status in 2023.

The Justice Department filed the lawsuit in April 2025 against Rochester, Democrat Mayor Malik Evans, the Rochester City Council, and Council President Miguel Meléndez Jr.

The administration argued that Rochester’s sanctuary policies intentionally obstruct federal immigration enforcement, unlawfully discriminate against federal authorities, and violate the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

The policies prohibit city personnel from using local resources to assist federal civil immigration enforcement except where specifically required by law.

Pennsylvania Data Center Project Offers Residents $10,000 “Benefits Package” For Community Rebuilding

With half of all proposed data centers unlikely to materialize amid mounting local resistance, potentially amplified in some cases by foreign influence operations, and intensifying power-grid constraints, developers are adopting more creative strategies to secure community support.

In Pennsylvania, one proposed data center campus is offering $10,000 payments to residents, alongside broader investments to rebuild local communities, strengthen public services, and reduce household costs.

Local outlet PennLive recently reported that NorthPoint Development is offering $10,000 to every eligible Hazle Township household to help revive the 1,300-acre data center project, which was rejected last November.

The $10,000 grants are part of a $165 million offer made by NorthPoint Development to establish a township police department, lower garbage-collection bills, fund community programs, and pay residents directly, the local outlet reported.

Residents would receive the money after the first data center building secures an occupancy certificate, potentially by late 2027.

“The $165 million community-benefits commitment represents an unprecedented level of direct financial investment in a Pennsylvania municipality,” Missouri-based NorthPoint said in a recent press release.

‘Everyone Is Afraid’: Serbian President Warns NATO Over Kosovo Bridge, Christian Persecution

President Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia told Breitbart News exclusively that he and everyone in Serbia and Eastern Europe fears what may happen to Christians and Serbs in Kosovo after the removal of troops guarding a bridge, and that he is calling on Washington and NATO to step in to help fix the situation before things spiral out of control.

“I am afraid, and everyone is afraid,” Vucic told Breitbart News on Wednesday. “That is why we will beg and ask. It won’t be hard for me to phone everyone, even if I have to call Washington, to help with this issue… Enough with the persecution of the Serbian and Christian population in Kosovo and Metohija, and I believe that the people in Washington will understand that.”

Vucic previously sat down with Breitbart News for an extended exclusive interview in Belgrade–Serbia’s capital–back in May.

Vucic’s statement comes amid withdrawal of NATO forces guarding a bridge called Ibar Bridge in northern Kosovo that has been closed to vehicular traffic and has been guarded by NATO forces called the Kosovo Force, or KFOR for short. The bridge essentially marks the boundary between the predominantly Albanian Muslim south of the city of Mitrovica and the predominantly Serbian Christian north—and Vucic fears the opening of the bridge to vehicular traffic may end up leading to the Christian population being under attack.

The bridge is open to pedestrian traffic so people can cross it if they want to, but vehicular traffic reopening might quickly intensify interactions between people on the two sides. KFOR forces announced earlier in August that they would be beginning a gradual transition of its permanent presence from the Ibar Bridge and instead that is handing over day-to-day security responsibilities to the local Kosovo Police—although KFOR has said it is going to retain a visible presence in northern Kosovo.

Vucic has been sounding the alarm worldwide, calling everyone from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to European Union leaders and other European officials to leaders in Washington, as well asking for this decision to be paused and reversed and to keep KFOR in charge of the bridge to protect the Serbian Christians on the other side of it.

Serbia has snap elections coming up in mid to late October, and there are still some major decisions on the horizon regarding Kosovo’s future, as well as the region awaits a judgement coming down in mid-September from the Hague on the crimes-against-humanity case against former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci. Many people believe Thaci was wrongly targeted—by the very same Jack Smith who later came directly after American President Donald Trump—because Thaci had agreed to work with Trump in Trump’s first term to find a longterm solution to the issues between Serbia and Kosovo.

Kosovo’s caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti—who endorsed Democrat Joe Biden over Trump in the 2020 election here in the United States—has been so controversial that everyone from even the Biden administration to the Trump administration to NATO and more have condemned him. Ric Grenell, who was acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in Trump’s first term and also oversaw the Serbia-Kosovo talks back then, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that Kurti cannot be trusted.

“Albin Kurti has been condemned by NATO, the Europeans and both the Biden and Trump Administrations because he unilaterally creates chaos and instability,” Grenell told Breitbart News in a statement on Wednesday. “America has never seen Kosovo with such a fascist leader. I’ve regularly been to the northern part of Kosovo where many Serbs make their homes and I’m concerned, once again, by the current situation unfolding. People who believe differently should be able to live next to each in peace, but they also deserve politicians who don’t work to destabilize delicate situations.”

It is unclear what Washington or Brussels may do here moving forward. Breitbart News reached out to U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker and his team at the U.S. mission to NATO for comment on the matter but has not received a response by press time.

NDP-turned-Liberal MP Lori Idlout broke ethics rules by billing taxpayers for purchases from family businesses

Nunavut Liberal MP Lori Idlout violated parliamentary conflict-of-interest rules after claiming taxpayer-funded reimbursements for purchases made from businesses owned by herself and her spouse, Canada’s ethics commissioner has found.

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein released his findings Wednesday following an investigation under the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons.

According to the commissioner, Idlout used her parliamentary office budget to seek reimbursement for purchases made at a business she owns and another owned by her spouse.

The transactions increased or preserved the value of the couple’s assets, thereby furthering their private interests while Idlout was performing her parliamentary duties.

Section 8 of the ethics code prohibits MPs from using their public positions to advance their own private interests, those of family members or the interests of another person or organization.

Despite finding that Idlout broke the rules, von Finckenstein recommended no sanction.

The commissioner accepted Idlout’s explanation that the purchases were “errors of judgement made in good faith” and noted that she repaid the House of Commons after the violations were brought to her attention.

“She did not realize that making purchases from two businesses would further her or her spouse’s private interests,” von Finckenstein said. “She also repaid the House of Commons as soon as the errors were brought to her attention.”

Idlout was elected as a New Democrat before crossing the floor to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s governing Liberals in March 2026. Her defection helped move the Liberal government closer to a parliamentary majority.

The commissioner’s report was submitted to the Speaker of the House of Commons and will be tabled when Parliament next sits.
