US senator accuses Trump of ‘silence’ on huge Ukraine corruption scandal

US Senator Rand Paul has accused President Donald Trump of staying silent on a major corruption scandal involving a close associate of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.

Last week, Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies alleged that Timur Mindich, Zelensky’s former longtime business partner, led a scheme that siphoned $100 million in kickbacks from contracts with the country’s nuclear power operator Energoatom, which depends on foreign aid. Two government ministers have since resigned, while Mindich fled the country to evade arrest.

“Remember when the Ukraine first Uniparty opposed my call for an Investigator General for Ukraine? Trump silent on $100M Ukraine corruption scandal resignations,” Paul wrote on X on Saturday, commenting on a news story about the affair.

Paul, who frequently attacks what he calls “wasteful spending” of American taxpayers’ money on foreign projects, has repeatedly pushed for a watchdog to supervise funds directed to Ukraine “in order to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.”

The TRUTH behind Sarajevo’s ‘human safaris’: Shocking testimonies of men who watched ‘elite, wealthy hunters’ shoot civilians after paying huge sums for a chance to murder women and children

Curled up in her mother’s arms outside their family home, a sniper bullet struck Irina that day. She died in hospital hours later, her small body too fragile to recover from the trauma of the strike.

Irina was one of 11,541 victims, 1,601 of them children, who were killed between 1992 and 1996 during the Bosnian Serb siege of the majority-Muslim city, where forces committed war crimes by purposefully sniping civilian targets.

However, the indiscriminate bloodshed may not have been perpetrated solely by the Bosnian Serb militias, but also by ordinary civilians eager for a thrill.

Wealthy foreigners wanted in on the action – and paid handsomely to live-out their fantasies by travelling to Sarajevo on the weekends to partake in a ‘human safari’, according to claims being investigated by Italian authorities.

In chilling detail, the case alleges that war tourists from Italy, Canada, Russia and the U.S. spent between £70,000 – £88,000 to take part in the ‘manhunt’, even paying extra to kill minors.

While the Italian investigation is new, the rumour of foreigners engaging in bloody murder in Sarajevo has been festering for more than a decade – and now the truth may finally be uncovered.

Beginning Of A Revolution? Populist Revolt Shocks Mexico

Chaos erupted in front of Mexico’s National Palace in Mexico City on Saturday after anti-corruption protests turned violent following the recent cartel murder of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo. Protesters are furious with leftist President Claudia Sheinbaum, while the government blames right-wing business interests for stoking the unrest.

Reuters reports that 120 people and 100 police officers were injured outside the National Palace when a large group of anti-government protesters led by Gen Zers clashed with Sheinbaum’s security forces.

Public outrage has grown over the recent assassination of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo, a critic of cartel violence in the crime-ridden third-world country just south of the U.S. southern border. 

Footage on X shows demonstrators ripping down parts of a giant steel barrier around the National Palace, prompting police to deploy tear gas and other non-lethal weapons.

RAMPANT CORRUPTION: European Leaders Pressure Zelensky Over Energy Kickback Scandal

People surprised by corruption in Ukraine are like people surprised that Joe Biden was senile – not paying attention.

So bad is the corruption scandal unfolding in Ukraine that Globalist EU leaders find themselves obliged to breach the usual taboo on criticizing Ukraine or Volodymyr Zelensky in public.

Out of the public eye, the Europeans are seeking ‘reassurances’ from Ukraine regarding further financial support to the country.

This comes after the anti-corruption agencies – that Zelensky wanted to dismantle – are unleashing a corruption probe that has revealed a $100 million kickback scheme tied to the critical energy sector.

Several of Zelensky’s close associates are involved in the plot, so the Kiev leader had to issue sanctions against his own business partner and also to dismiss several senior ministers.

Chicago Judge Orders Release of Hundreds of Criminal Illegal Aliens Arrested by ICE

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Chicago has ordered the release of hundreds of criminal migrants arrested by federal immigration agents during Operation Midway Blitz.

US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the Trump administration to release more than 600 migrants that the judge claims were arrested in violation of a Consent Decree. Cummings has given the Department of Justice until November 19 to release the targeted migrants, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Cummings signaled his decision earlier in the week when he said he was thinking of providing what he called “equitable relief” for thousands of illegals in federal custody after he determined that the agreement had been violated by immigration agents.

The decree was signed in 2022 when President Joe Biden’s agencies agreed to accept curbs drafted by the ACLU. Judges allow consent decrees to bind future administrations.

Cummings has ruled that migrants can pay a $1,500 bond and accept some sort of monitoring — including electronic ankle monitors — and to then be released pending the outcome of their immigration proceedings.

The left-wing judge claimed that many on the list were otherwise engaged in non-criminal activities and said, “It is highly unlikely any of them are criminal gang members, drug traffickers, or assorted ne’er-do-wells who fall under the category of what ICE has called ‘the worst of the worst.”

Ex-Harvard President Larry Summers Flew on ‘Air Lolita’ With Epstein to ‘Pedo Island’ – TGP First Reported in 2019 – Economist for Clinton and Obama Now Investigated by DOJ

MSM today: Epstein flight manifesto shows Larry Summer went to ‘Pedo Island’ – TGP reported this in 2019.

Sick and tired of being the target of endless Jeffrey Epstein Democrat hoaxes trying to will into existence evidence of criminal activity by him that does not exist, US President Donald J. Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate the Dem icons who are actually guilty, as reported in: Just In – Trump Announces He Will Order Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton, J.P. Morgan, and Other Leftist People and Institutions’ Ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Attorney General Pam Bondi swiftly appointed SDNY US Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the process, as you can read on Here is The Prosecutor Assigned to the Epstein-Clinton Investigation

Among those investigated is former Harvard President Larry Summers, who was Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary and the director of the National Economic Council under Barak Obama.

Talk about a liberal icon.

Today, it’s been reported that flight records show that Summers took a trip with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the infamous private Little St. James Island.

Kudos to the MSM, but in fact, this has already been reported in TGP since 2019, as you can read in EXCLUSIVE: Former Clinton and Obama Economist and Harvard President, Larry Summers, Took Flight to Epstein’s ‘Orgy Island’ on His Honeymoon.

Later, in August 2023, in a deposition by former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley, who was being sued by US Virgin Islands government, we learned that Jeffrey Epstein referred several high-profile individuals to the bank as potential clients, explicitly including Larry Summers (alongside Bill Gates and Sergey Brin).

School District Stymies Transparency By Demanding Six Figures to Provide Anti-Kirk Teacher’s Curriculum

Benjamin Fillo, a teacher at Barrington High School in Rhode Island, came under fire for disturbing comments he made following the political assassination of conservative leader and icon Charlie Kirk.

The school district is now making it difficult for parents to access Fillo’s curriculum through a FOIA request by demanding a six-figure fee to provide the information.

Just the News reports:

Rhode Island’s Barrington Public Schools demanded six figures just to turn over one social studies teacher’s curriculum in response to Access to Public Records Act requests to discern whether Benjamin Fillo’s classroom lessons reflected the viewpoints in his once-public TikTok video that said the “piece of garbage” Kirk got what he deserved.

The district separately estimated that producing Fillo’s roughly 2,200 work emails going back to 2016 that include the word “Trump,” the other APRA request, would cost about $1,100.

*******

In correspondence shared with Just the News, the district blamed the now-$116,000 estimate on the scope of what Solas requested, Fillo’s curriculum for his full 15 years, and offered $5,500 if Solas would narrow her request to the past five years. To justify its estimate for Fillo’s emails, it cited an opinion by a recurring Solas foe, state Attorney General Peter Neronha.

During Fillo’s unhinged remarks in a video shared on social media, he called Kirk a “piece of garbage” and stated, “I have about as much sympathy for Charlie Kirk right now as I do for all those farmers across the country who want socialist handouts from the government right now.”

“This is a man who hated the LGBTQ community, who hated women’s rights, who hated democracy.”

“Who thought that he was a big man cause he went to college campuses, debated young college students and thought he proved how tough he was with his words that he studied ahead of time.”

“What a piece of garbage. This is what happens,” he said before smugly adding, “Bye, Charlie!”

Democrat Plaskett Was Texting Jeffrey Epstein During Michael Cohen Hearing – Here Are Some of the Texts

An Oversight Committee Democrat was texting Jeffrey Epstein and taking advice from him during a 2019 Congressional hearing with former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

According to The Washington Post and CNN, Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett was exchanging text messages with Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of Michael Cohen’s 2019 congressional testimony on Trump’s business practices.

Plaskett is the Democrat Delegate who represents the US Virgin Islands.

Recall, Michael Cohen was previously sentenced to 36 months in prison for lying to Congress, campaign finance violations and tax evasion charges related to his taxi medallion business.

Jeffrey Epstein was monitoring the Michael Cohen congressional proceedings coaching Plaskett.

“Cohen brought up RONA – keeper of the secrets,” Epstein said in a text to Plaskett referring to former Trump aide Rhona Graff, according to The Washington Post.

“RONA?? Quick I’m up next is that an acronym,” Plaskett text back.

“Hes opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org,” Epstein wrote.

Plaskett followed Epstein’s lead and asked Cohen, “Are there other people that we should be meeting with?”

Plaskett steered Cohen: “You’ve got to quickly give us as many names as you can so we can get to them. Is Ms. Rhona, what is Ms. Rhonas?”

Virginia Democrat Ibraheem Samirah Who Infamously DISRUPTED President Trump Sentenced in Explosive COVID Fraud Scheme

In a delicious twist of irony, Ibraheem Sabri Samirah, the Palestinian-American Democrat who infamously disrupted President Trump’s 2019 speech in Jamestown with a “Deport Hate” sign, has been nailed for wire fraud in a blatant PPP loan scam.

Samirah, 34, a dentist by trade, cooked up fake payroll records for his clinic, Nova Healthy Smiles PLLC, claiming four employees and $33,333 in monthly wages back in early 2020.

But as court documents reveal, those “employees” – including himself – weren’t paid a dime until after the loan came through in May 2020.

He even wrote checks to these phantom workers, only for them to funnel the money right back to him.

When it came time for loan forgiveness in August 2021, Samirah lied again, swearing the funds went to legitimate expenses like payroll and utilities.

In reality, the only “permissible” use was a pittance in employer taxes remitted to the IRS, the rest lined his pockets.

Samirah, who built his political career on railing against “systemic oppression” and championing Palestinian causes, apparently saw no issue with exploiting a Trump-era relief program designed to save jobs.

His actions echo the entitlement we’ve come to expect from far-left Democrats who preach equity while grabbing whatever they can.

Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia laid it out plain in the July 2025 information: Samirah devised a scheme to defraud Sonabank (now Primis Bank) and the Small Business Administration, transmitting false wires across state lines to secure and forgive the loan.

He waived indictment and pleaded guilty in July, avoiding a trial that could have exposed even more dirt.

Come October 30, a judge sentenced him to three years’ probation and ordered $88,000 in restitution, a light slap considering the felony conviction strips him of voting rights and bars him from future office.

In 2019, President Trump was interrupted by Samirah, a member of Virginia’s House of Delegates, during a speech marking the 400th anniversary of the first meeting of the Virginia legislature in Jamestown in 1619–the first representative legislative assembly in the Western Hemisphere.

Democrat Ibraheem Samirah stood near the front of the stage facing the audience, holding several signs strung together and yelling, “Mr. President, you can’t send us back, Virginia is our home!”  Supporters of the President booed and chanted, “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

The messages on the signs read, “Go Back to Your Corrupted Home”, “Deport Hate” and “Reunite My Family And All Shattered by Systemic Discrimination”.

Ibraheem interrupted the president to scream about his deported Palestinian father.

Swalwell Threatens Trump Officials After Federal Housing Director Pulte Criminally Refers Him to DOJ For Mortgage Fraud

Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell threatened investigators after NBC News reported that he had been criminally referred to the Justice Department.

Federal Housing regulator Bill Pulte referred Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution over mortgage fraud.

According to NBC News, Pulte is alleging that Swalwell, a Democrat Congressman representing a district in California, took out millions of dollars worth of mortgage loans based on his declaring his primary residence as Washington, DC.

Swalwell’s $1.2 million DC home is now a target of the Justice Department.

As TGP contributor Joel Gilbert recently reported, despite serving as a Congressman from California’s 15th District and claiming Hometown: Livermore on his official House profile, Swalwell has declared his Washington, DC property as his “principal residence.”

A public Deed of Trust for Swalwell’s DC home at 209 S Street NE, dated April 18, 2022, confirms the property is designated as his “principal residence” as a condition of the loan, Joel Gilbert reported.

Pulte is alleging that Swalwell made misleading statements during the purchase and refinance of the DC property.

The FHFA’s Inspector General is also investigating Swalwell’s mortgage fraud.

Swalwell, of Fang Fang fame, lashed out at Trump and threatened investigators during an appearance on MSNBC.

“When we are the majority, we will have subpoena power and accountability will happen. Bill Pulte and any other lawless official who is carrying out these political prosecutions on behalf of Donald Trump, they should familiarize themselves with the Judiciary Committee room because they’re going to be spending a lot of time there answering questions and I sure hope everything they did there was above board,” Swalwell said.

Article III Project founder and attorney Mike Davis said Swalwell’s statements threatening investigators sounds like obstruction of justice.

“Well, I would say this first off with Eric Swalwell, that sounds like obstruction of justice when you are threatening to go after federal investigators for investigating you for federal crimes so maybe that’s another charge that the Justice Department should tack onto this investigation,” Mike Davis said.
