FBI urged to release withheld records on Hunter Biden laptop, other ‘Twitter Files’

A hearing took place Wednesday, before U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch against the Department of Justice (DOJ).

The case seeks records related to the “Twitter Files,” particularly those involving Hunter Biden’s laptop and allegations of censorship.

The only matter still pending is the FBI’s withholding of records detailing two meetings between agency officials and Twitter representatives from the Biden administration.

Judicial Watch initiated the lawsuit in April 2023, targeting the DOJ, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The legal action followed the FBI’s failure to respond to a December 2022 FOIA request for communications between FBI personnel and key Twitter figures, including Yoel Roth, Vijaya Gadde, and Jim Baker, from June 2020 to December 2022.

These individuals were involved in discussions about suppressing the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, as disclosed in journalist Matt Taibbi’s December 2022 “Twitter Files.”

‘Who Was Running the Country?’ – Witnesses Testify on Biden Health Cover-Up, Autopen Scandal 

The Senate Judiciary Committee brought in three witnesses to testify on Joe Biden’s mental and health decline on Wednesday.

Former White House Press Secretary under Trump 1.0, Sean Spicer, former DOJ official under Trump, Theodore Wold, and University of Virginia law professor John Harrison testified in a Senate hearing.

Theodore Wold said Biden’s autopen was deployed day 5 of his presidency. Wold said there is no evidence to suggest that Joe Biden authorized use of the autopen.

A third Biden autopen was recently discovered amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup.

President Trump recently directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.”

Former Intel Officer Drops Truth Bomb – CIA and ODNI Covered Up 2020 CCP Election Interference, Fired Him for Speaking Out

A former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber under President Trump and Joe Biden has come forward with explosive allegations: the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) deliberately buried evidence of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in the 2020 presidential election—and fired him when he refused to play along.

The whistleblower’s damning post came in response to General Mike Flynn’s tweet Monday questioning why foreign election interference by the CCP wasn’t exposed back in 2020:

“So there was foreign interference by the CCP in the 2020 presidential election. Who was running the USIC at that time and why didn’t this get exposed back then? @CIADirector.

Can we get four years of our lives back!?” Flynn asked, tagging President Trump and former DNI Tulsi Gabbard.”

Former intel officer Christopher Porter didn’t mince words in his reply:

“Sir, I WAS in charge of election analysis and DID call it out. CIA and ODNI tried to cover up the evidence and when I wouldn’t go along with it, terminated me.”

FBI Settles Lawsuit Over Biden Era Cover-Up Of Trans Killer Manifesto

More than two years after facing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for playing politics with a trans killer’s manifesto, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has agreed to a settlement. 

The agreement is a victory for transparency and open government, but it’s personal for this reporter. 

‘Did Not Want the Public to Know’

I was a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit demanding that the FBI release the manifesto of Audrey Hale, the biological woman identifying as a man who in March 2023 burst into a Nashville Christian school and murdered three third-graders and three staff members before being fatally shot by responding police. 

At the time, I was National Political Editor for the Star News Network, which has done some of the best investigative work in bringing to light the dark mind of a mentally deranged mass murderer despite law enforcement efforts to keep the killer’s motives shrouded in secrecy. President Joe Biden’s FBI, which pulled the levers behind the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s (MNPD) handling of the politically charged case, denied my FOIA request for Hale’s manifesto. The file includes hundreds of pages of the 28-year-old woman’s journals and other writings. 

In May 2023, Star News CEO and Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy and I filed a lawsuit seeking the documents. Star News also sued the Nashville Police Department, joining the Tennessean newspaper and other groups in what became a combined complaint. 

We were represented by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), a nonprofit conservative law firm based in Milwaukee. On Wednesday, WILL announced the settlement, in which the FBI has agreed to turn over 120 pages of the shooter’s manifesto and to pay the law firm more than $86,000 in legal fees. 

The lawsuit would likely still be tied up in federal court had the FBI, under new management, not agreed to end the Biden FBI’s prolonged fight to keep the public in the dark. FBI Director Kash Patel ultimately ended an empty “investigation” into a trans school shooter who died at the scene and had no accomplices. 

“This was a case in which the Biden administration did not want the public to know what motivated this transgender shooter to shoot up the school and kill six people,” Dan Lennington, WILL’s deputy counsel, told me Wednesday on the Dan O’Donnell Show. 

The trans-centric Biden administration wanted to protect the trans agenda, and, as the Star News Network reported, the FBI advised against releasing information that it believed could put males pretending to be females and females identifying as males at risk. As The Federalist reported, four days after the shooting at the Christian elementary school, Biden issued a statement insisting that “Transgender Americans shape our Nation’s soul.” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine at the time noted that the far-left president railed against “MAGA extremists [who] are advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme state laws that target transgender kids and their families. … These attacks are un-American and must end.” He said nothing about a twisted trans Nashville area resident indoctrinated in hate.

Listen to Chuck Schumer’s Lame Excuse for Cowardly Democrats Not Attending Hearing on Biden’s Mental Decline

Senate Republicans held a hearing today on the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline and the Democrats simply didn’t show up. It’s pretty obvious why they wouldn’t want to talk about this but the American people are owed answers. A lot of them.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about this by a reporter and he gave such a lame answer that it defies belief.

Schumer claimed that this is the sort of ‘coarseness’ that the American people don’t like and that it has nothing to do with Medicaid and feeding hungry children.

Does anyone remember any of those issues preventing Democrats from relentlessly pursuing Trump during his first administration when they impeached him? Twice?

Townhall reported:

Chuck Schumer’s Latest Deflection About the Biden Health Cover Up Is Beyond Absurd

Chuck Schumer has declared the Joe Biden mental health cover-up dead. There are more critical issues, like starving children in America. The theatrics with these people are boundless. Yes, children going hungry in America is a regrettable problem, inexcusable, but stop, Chuck—you people don’t care. There were starving kids, homeless veterans, and mothers unable to buy baby formula under Joe Biden, and you people did nothing. All Democrats did was lecture, dismiss voters’ concerns, and then have the gall to say they didn’t understand the economy or the immigration crisis.

Flashforward to 2024, Joe Biden is out, Kamala Harris got smoked, and the Democrats are in the wilderness. They’re in their worst shape in 50 years. They’ve lost working people, young voters, and immigrant citizens, the latter of which has swung 40 points toward the Republicans. Immigrant citizens are on the MAGA train—losing these core groups constitutes electoral death for Democrats. Oh, and their dip with Latinos is why Trump won the popular vote. We know the Electoral College is all that matters, but liberals love to tout that popular vote, which became ours in 2024.

The shocking date of Biden’s first use of the autopen exposed… and it’s earlier than previously known

During an explosive Republican-led hearing on Joe Biden‘s rapid decline over the course of his four-year presidency, shocking details emerged about the extensive use of an autopen by the former president.

One of the witnesses called by the Senate Judiciary committee was Theo Wold, currently a Visiting Fellow for Law and Technology Policy at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, DC – based conservative think tank. 

Wold is also a board member of the Oversight Project, an independent, nonprofit organization previously a part of Heritage.

The Oversight Project’s research discovered that the first time President Joe Biden used an autopen was five days into his presidency, Wold stated as part of his sworn testimony.

“The autopen is a device that signs the president’s signature to a document. The Oversight Project, of which I am a board member, has discovered that the Biden White House deployed an autopen to affix President Biden’s signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders, and presidential proclamations,’ Wold noted. 

“The Oversight Project’s research has found that the Biden White House first deployed the autopen to affix President Biden’s signature to a proclamation on day five of his administration and that there were at least three different autopen signatures in use throughout president Biden’s tenure in the White House,’ Wold continued.

He added: ‘In June 2022, the Biden White House began deploying the autopen to sign clemency warrants and executive orders. Autopen use skyrocketed from there. We found that of the 51 clemency warrants issued during the Biden presidency, over half, 32 in total, were signed with an autopen.’

Another eyebrow-raising revelation Wold shared was that after a review of the president’s public schedule, and publicly available media, the Oversight Project was not able to find evidence of Biden ‘personally approving these actions, such as a statement.’

Not So Fast, Netanyahu: Trump Assassination Plots Trace Back to Ukraine—Not Iran—While FBI Stonewalls on Crooks’ Encrypted Messages

On Sunday, June 15, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the explosive claim on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier that Iran was behind the two assassination attempts on President Trump.

We beg to differ.

We, the American People, Invite the FBI & DOJ to Be Heroes of Transparency

Uncover the Explosive Ukrainian-Linked Patterns in the Trump Assassination Plots and Include the Butler Attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks

Critical Data on Crooks’ Encrypted Communications Remains Hidden — Will the FBI & DOJ Step Up to Unveil Who Thomas Matthew Crooks Was Communicating With?

Bret Baier interviews President Trump and asks whether we will get transparency around Butler. POTUS responds, “It’s a little bit strange.”

BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA — On July 13, 2024, at approximately 6:11 p.m. EDT, former President Donald Trump became the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Pennsylvania. The assailant, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire from the roof of a nearby building, situated approximately 400 to 450 feet (about 133 to 150 yards) away from the stage.

Crooks took aim and had his target squarely in his sights, then squeezed the trigger. In a miraculous twist of fate, something caused President Trump to sharply turn his head at that precise moment the first bullet rocketed out of the chamber. It instantly pierced through his right ear and was immediately followed by a barrage of shots from his rifle — a near-fatal mark that, had he not turned at that exact instant, would almost certainly have ended his life and forever changed the course of American history.

Maui police chief named in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs lawsuit as alleged co-conspirator

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier is fiercely denying allegations that he was involved in a cover-up linked to Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In a nearly 90-page civil lawsuit filed by Ashley Parham and two unnamed individuals, Pelletier is accused of being hired as security for Combs in 2018.

The suit claims that Pelletier, who at the time was a Las Vegas police captain, posed as a sheriff deputy in California and responded to an alleged gang rape involving Combs.

The alleged victim claims that Pelletier instructed her to go home and offered no help or medical care.

The woman claims Pelletier gave an envelope to a neighbor, which she believed to be full of cash.

She claims Pelletier later took her and another plaintiff at gunpoint to his home, restrained them, refused to let them call an attorney, and made various moves to cover up the kidnapping.

In a statement, Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen requested that the Maui County Police Commission put Pelletier on administrative leave while the investigation remains ongoing.

The statement reads as follows:

“On March 7, 2025, and was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in the case of Ashley Parham v. Sean Combs (Case No. 3:24-cv-07191-RFL).

This amendment includes multiple new defendants, one of whom is Maui Police Chief John Pelletier.

The original complaint, filed on October 15, 2024, did not name Chief Pelletier.

While the allegations in the amended complaint remain unproven, they are serious in nature and involve claims of alleged criminal conduct.

As with any such legal matter, due process must be observed, but the existence of these allegations alone presents concerns regarding public trust and the effective functioning of the department.

There is precedent within the County of Maui government for placing appointed officials on leave while allegations against them are investigated.

This approach does not constitute a presumption of guilt but ensures that the individual in question is not in a position that may compromise the integrity of the office while the matter is under review.

The County of Maui Charter requires appointed officers to uphold the highest ethical standards to maintain public confidence in local government.

Given the gravity of the allegations, I recommend that the Maui Police Commission place Chief Pelletier on administrative leave pending further investigation.

Additionally, I urge the Commission to conduct its own independent review rather than waiting for the resolution of the federal case.

Taking proactive steps will demonstrate the County’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical governance.”Mayor Richard Bissen

Ohr Memo Confirms Clinton Team Had Early Knowledge Of Ukrainian Black Ledger

The newly released Nellie Ohr documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have already made waves for two major reasons. First, they show the FBI concluded Nellie Ohr lied to Congress and then failed to act on it. Second, they revealed an internal FBI “black hole” filing system designed to bury evidence that contradicted or disproved the Donald Trump-Russia narrative, shielding it not just from the public but from the FBI’s own agents.

Yet there’s more. Buried in the release is also confirmation of another key aspect of how the Russiagate smear unfolded, one that has so far escaped much attention: Clinton campaign operative Ohr appears to have had advance knowledge of the so-called “black ledger” operation by Ukrainian officials.

This operation ultimately led to the political downfall of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016. This information also provides more evidence that it wasn’t Trump who colluded with foreign powers against domestic opponents — it was Democrats.

While the broad outlines of this connection between the Clinton campaign and Ukraine have been known for some time, the newly released documents reveal the FBI was aware of Ohr’s foreknowledge as early as 2019. That’s when a report on her activities was written — but the FBI took no action.

Notably, this was before the first impeachment of President Trump, which was triggered by his inquiries into corruption in Ukraine. This detail confirms the strong likelihood that the Clinton campaign was more directly involved in the Ukrainian effort to smear Trump than was previously acknowledged.

The American public didn’t learn about the ledger until August 15, 2016, when The New York Times ran a front-page story accusing Manafort of receiving off-the-books cash payments from the Party of Regions, the political party of Ukraine’s deposed president, Viktor Yanukovych. But according to Grassley’s release, Nellie Ohr had already tipped off her husband, Bruce Ohr — then a senior DOJ official — along with two prosecutors from the DOJ’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, on May 30, 2016.

Even more striking, that alert came a full day before the first known public mention of the ledger in Ukrainian press. That May 31 article, co-authored by anti-Trump activist Serhiy Leshchenko, mentioned the ledger’s existence but made no reference to Manafort or U.S. politics. In congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr later admitted that Leshchenko was one of her sources at Fusion GPS and had passed along information about Manafort.

Leshchenko has been candid about his motives. Speaking to the Financial Times in 2016, he said his goal in publicizing the ledger was to intervene in the U.S. elections to damage Trump, whom he described as a pro-Russian candidate who could destabilize the global order. Notably, Leshchenko now serves as an advisor within Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle, a disturbing fact considering his history of actively promoting anti-Trump disinformation.

Ohr’s foreknowledge and contact with Leshchenko provide more evidence that the Clinton campaign, through Fusion GPS, was not only behind the fake Steele and Alfa Bank dossiers, but also acted as a conduit between Ukrainian political operatives and U.S. law enforcement. These efforts laundered foreign political propaganda into the DOJ and FBI under the guise of international criminal intelligence.

The ledger’s authenticity has long been in question. Manafort was never charged with receiving the cash payments alleged in the ledger and reported by The New York Times. Shortly after the 2016 election, Ukraine’s former domestic intelligence chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, expressed skepticism, pointing out it was suspicious only one fragment of the ledger had surfaced. “Where is the handwriting analysis?” he asked. “It’s crazy to open an investigation based on this kind of document.”

The orchestration also appears to go back even further. According to former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko, who spoke exclusively to me about the latest Ohr revelations, the operation began with a January 19, 2016 meeting at the White House.

COVID cover-up probes focus on early military intel that virus was man-made, escaped Wuhan lab

An elite unit of scientists working for the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded three months after the pandemic began that COVID-19 likely was genetically manufactured and escaped a Chinese lab rather than evolving in nature as Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed, a bombshell revelation now at the heart of ongoing investigations into a possible U.S. intelligence cover-up.

“SARS-CoV-2 Spike Appears to be a Chimera,” a slide from the DIA National Center for Medical Intelligence’s June 25, 2020 presentation declared, using the scientific terms for the COVID-19 virus and the “chimera’ term for a genetically engineered pathogen that is a combination of pieces from two separate viruses.

The study – using complex genome analysis – also traced the process used for creating the new virus to an earlier manuscript that the Wuhan Institute of Virology published a decade prior. “Break points align with those identified by WIV Scientists in 2008,” the presentation said.

“The molecular biology capabilities of WIV and the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses … at WIV that escaped from containment,” the study concluded.

Report suppressed for years

The long-hidden study was only recently released under the Freedom of Information Act by U.S. intelligence agencies, a bombshell now at the center of ongoing investigations.

At least four whistleblowers have been interviewed in recent months by the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s office, the DIA’s internal watchdog and the FBI about the early findings from DIA’s National Center for Medical Intelligence and whether there was an effort to keep those genetic sleuths from communicating their evidence to other intelligence agencies, government officials told Just the News.

One area of focus is whether intelligence agencies sought to suppress the DIA research from a highly public release by President Joe Biden’s Director of National Intelligence Office in 2021 that assessed that COVID was “equally likely” to have come from nature or a lab accident, the officials said. That analysis – dubbed the 90-day sprint – made no overt reference to the detailed analysis DIA had offered a year earlier.

Efforts by the DIA scientists to insert their data into the 90-day document were snubbed and their edits were deleted, officials told Just the News.
