DOJ Can Dig Up Even More Evidence U.S. Taxpayers Funded Lab Creation Of Covid-19

Employees at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) walked out as their new boss, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, spoke this week on truths that remain to be sought out about Covid-19. As a lead on the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration that sought to shift sweeping societal shutdowns to “focused protection” on the vulnerable, Bhattacharya is no newcomer to speaking the truth about Covid or being vilified for doing so. Fortunately, an unheralded investigation by the Department of Justice of an obscure nonprofit company has the potential to reveal five years of hidden truths.

Bhattacharya’s words that sparked the walkout were straightforward: “It’s possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, and it’s also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research.” Seeking the possible amongst the plausible is the backbone of the scientific approach. In the case of the Wuhan lab leak theory, “possible” looks increasingly “plausible” as more evidence slowly — and as the NIH walkout demonstrates —grudgingly comes to light. 

The possibility of long-delayed revelation lies in an ongoing DOJ investigation involving EcoHealth Alliance. Both the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on Covid-19’s 500-page pandemic report and the recently published book, In Covid’s Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us, by Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee repeatedly put EcoHealth Alliance at the crossroads of pandemic controversy — from funding, to research, to reporting on the virus’s origins and the CCP’s initial efforts to combat the pandemic. 

The press release accompanying the subcommittee’s report states: Covid-19 “most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” that “a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19,” that EcoHealth “under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan,” and that NIH contributed to the catastrophe with “procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research” which are “deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Brands Trump a Racist ‘Monster’ After DOJ Probes His Anti-White Discrimination

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has described President Trump as a “monster” for launching a federal investigation against him.

Speaking at a church in Woodlawn, Illinois over the weekend, Johnson said he preferred to hire black people because they are more generous than whites.

This has since led to Department of Justice opening an investigation into Johnson for racial discrimination.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson said that Trump’s investigation was the result of his own racial animus:

As far as, you know, the president’s animus towards women, people of color, working people, we have always known who he has been. This is not a surprise. He’s a monster.

We have the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.

You can tell when someone is fearful is because they act out. We have a president that is screaming and having tantrums right now because we have an administration that reflects the city of Chicago, but he would much rather have administrations that reflect the country club. Period.

He is most comfortable around people who think and look like him.

Hochul to DOJ: Stop Targeting N.Y. Democrats

New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul has urged the Department of Justice to “stop targeting Democrats here in New York” amid a flurry of investigations into high-ranking past and present government officials of the Empire State.

During a press conference in Albany on Wednesday, Hochul was asked by a reporter if she thought the slew of investigations into high profile Democrat lawmakers were politically motivated. “Hell, yeah,” Hochul answered.

“The question is when will [U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi] stop politicizing the Department of Justice and just do their jobs?” Hochul asked reporters.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his responses to Republicans on his handling of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

In March, Cuomo announced his intention to run for mayor of New York City, taking on current Democrat Eric Adams who has fallen out of favor with the liberal establishment over his embrace of some of President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration policies. Adams has since seen his own federal investigation dropped by Bondi’s DOJ.

Harmeet Dhillon Exposes DOJ’s ‘Color Revolution’ Wing: Secret ‘Resistance’ Memos, ‘Unhappy Hours,’ & ‘Crying Sessions’

In a revealing interview with Tucker Carlson, Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, pulled back the curtain on the entrenched resistance within the Department of Justice, which she described as a stronghold of the deep state. Dhillon revealed a culture of anti-MAGA defiance, marked by resistance memos circulating among career lawyers, instructing them to obstruct directives through bureaucratic tactics. Dhillon also recounted a hilarious scene of open crying sessions in the DOJ halls and mass resignations as hundreds of attorneys recoiled at her push to align the division with the Trump administration’s agenda.

TUCKER CARLSON: Your assistant attorney general, one of the greatest appointments, from my perspective, in this administration, running the civil rights division. What was it like when you showed up? What did you find when you got there?

HARMEET DHILLON: The civil rights division is the color revolution wing of the Department of Justice. Okay, whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat administration, there are career lawyers who are very focused on a particular agenda there. So, when I showed up, or when I was, when the president was elected, I should say, there were over 400 attorneys in the civil rights division and about 200 staff, so a total of about 600 people. Kristen Clark, my predecessor, anti-police, open racist, got in trouble during her term for not being candid with the Senate during her confirmation hearings on some issues. So, she had a particular agenda. She got in there and she pursued that agenda aggressively. And she had all the staff to do it.

Now, under the first Trump administration, my predecessor in that job pretty much left it untouched. He told me he kind of, like, there were the career people there, if he wanted to get something done, they went to the U.S. attorney’s offices. I came in with a different perspective. I think it’s part of the promise of this administration under President Trump to fundamentally reform the government in the way that the people voted for. That means, in the civil rights division, we should be standing up for the civil rights of all Americans, not just some Americans. We shouldn’t be weaponizing the law in a particular way. We should apply those federal civil rights statutes, many of which were passed by and signed by Republican presidents and Republican administrations, evenly, and the government shouldn’t be putting its heavy thumb on the scale in most cases. But in egregious instances, we should step forward and right these wrongs.

But what I found there was a number of lawyers, I mean hundreds of lawyers, who were actively in resistance mode. There were memos out there by former government lawyers telling current government lawyers in my department how to resist if you’re given a direct order. Ask for clarification, send 20 emails, question it, slow down your response time, say it can’t be done. So, I was actually looking out for that when I came. I did my week of training after getting confirmed by the Senate. And then the next week, I was like, “Okay, guys, it’s time to get to business. I want everyone to be very clear what the agenda is here.”

DOJ Pardon Scandal Deepens as Whistleblower Alleges Biden Allies Profited from Autopen Access

A deepening scandal tied to former President Joe Biden’s final acts has sparked a Justice Department (DOJ) probe into a last-minute pardon spree, with critics pointing to signs of a mechanical signature on every order.

Ed Martin, the DOJ’s pardon attorney, revealed that a whistleblower from within the Democratic Party has alleged that several high-ranking Biden aides financially benefited from managing access to the president’s autopen.

The explosive claim comes as concerns mount over whether Biden was mentally fit when he authorized dozens of controversial pardons on his final day in office.

Martin recently appeared on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast with journalist Mark Halperin to shed light on the deepening controversy. 

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 days ago, senior, senior Democrat saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,’” Martin said, according to The Gateway Pundit. 

“I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is I think we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process. And that’s what we’re doing.”

Though Martin declined to name the whistleblower, he described the source as a “high level advisor” from Biden’s 2020 campaign. 

The claims focus on alleged misconduct by Biden’s former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, senior adviser Anita Dunn and Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer. 

Former White House counselor Steve Ricchetti and First Lady Jill Biden were also described by Martin as “lead characters” in the decision-making process.

The core of the investigation centers on Biden’s widespread use of an autopen to sign last-minute clemency orders on Jan. 19, just one day before President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term. 

According to watchdog group the Oversight Project, every single pardon issued that day featured identical autopen signatures from Biden.

Trump’s DOJ Files Federal Lawsuit Against Small Idaho Town for Targeting Evangelical Church

President Trump’s Department of Justice has filed a federal lawsuit against the far-left leadership of Troy, Idaho, accusing the city of blatantly targeting a Christian congregation simply for trying to worship.

The lawsuit, United States v. City of Troy, is a blistering rebuke of how local officials weaponized zoning codes to shut down Christ Church, a growing evangelical church based in neighboring Moscow, Idaho.

Trump’s DOJ alleges that city leaders engaged in open discrimination, suppressing the church’s right to assemble — while allowing secular organizations to flourish in the same exact zone.

Christ Church, with a congregation too large for its Moscow area, sought to expand into Troy.

They tried renting a former bank building downtown to host Sunday services — a common sense solution given the building had been vacant for over a year and had ample street parking.

But after just two services, the city attorney sent a cease-and-desist order. The message was clear: Churches are not welcome in downtown Troy.

The church followed the law, applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and faced nothing short of a hostile inquisition.

City officials opened the floodgates to anti-Christian bigotry during the permit hearing. Opponents called Christ Church “a hate group,” accused it of “grotesque” beliefs, and claimed it would “destroy another Idaho town.”

The council then cited these comments — rooted in religious animus — as part of their decision to deny the church the right to worship.

Under Troy’s zoning code, churches are treated as second-class citizens, requiring a special conditional use permit to operate in the very same downtown district where art galleries, community centers, libraries, and even fraternal organizations are allowed to operate without any permit at all.

Justice Department Opens Criminal Investigation Into Andrew Cuomo

The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into former New York governor – and current NYC Mayoral front-runner – Andrew Cuomo over his testimony on nursing home deaths during the Covid pandemic.

Last month House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a resubmitted criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding the Department of Justice pursue charges against disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for lying under oath during pandemic-era investigations.

The letter, addressed directly to AG Pam Bondi, accused Cuomo of violating 18 U.S.C. §1001, a federal statute prohibiting false statements to Congress:

On October 30, 2024, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (Select Subcommittee) referred former Governor of the State of New York, Andrew M. Cuomo, for making criminally false statements in violation 18 U.S.C. §1001.1

To our knowledge, the Biden Administration ignored this referral despite clear facts and evidence. Accordingly, we request you review this referral and take appropriate action. For your reference, the referral is attached to this letter.

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.

TGP reported multiple times in 2020 how Governor Cuomo in New York implemented programs that ordered sick COVID patients back into elderly homes in the state. As a result, thousands of elderly people needlessly died in the state.

Then when the official counts of deaths in state nursing homes were requested from the DOJ, the numbers were fudged. The numbers reported were about 50% less than the real counts.

An investigation into Cuomo’s actions was put in place and Cuomo resigned as governor of the state. However, the investigation into illegal actions by Cuomo related to the huge number of nursing home deaths was dropped by both the Biden DOJ and the Manhattan DA.

“Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York,” said Chairman Comer.

Read to the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi here. The full criminal referral can be found here and an additional supporting transcript can be found here. Review former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s transcribed interview transcript here.

Cuomo is under investigation by the DC US Attorney’s Office, according to The New York Times.

The investigation was launched last month when Ed Martin was Acting DC US Attorney. Jeanine Pirro is currently the interim DC US Attorney.

Trump DOJ Launches Investigation Into Marxist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson After He Boasts About His Disgusting, Racist Hiring Policy

The Marxist, anti-white mayor of Chicago may now face federal prosecution for his stunning comments about his vile, racist hiring policy.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Mayor Brandon Johnson boasted that he only hires black people because they are the “most generous people on the planet.” He also labored on how blacks make up the majority of influential positions in the mayor’s office.

“There are detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people,” Johnson bragged. “No, what I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet.”

“I don’t know too many cultures that have play cousins,” he added. “That’s how generous we are. We just make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are.”

“So, Business and Economic Neighborhood Development, the deputy mayor, is a black woman. Department of Planning and Development is a black woman. Infrastructure, deputy mayor, is a black woman. Chief Operations Officer is a black man. Budget Director is a black woman. Senior Advisor is a black man.”

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, announced the DOJ launched an investigation into Johnson’s remarks about Chicago’s alleged hiring practices.

“The Department of Justice is opening an investigation to determine whether the city of Chicago, Illinois, is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination based on race,” the letter reads.

“Our investigation is based on information suggesting that you have made hiring decisions solely on the basis of race. In your remarks made yesterday at the Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn, you ‘highlight[ed] the number of Black officials in [your] administration,” the letter goes on to say.

Dhillon goes on to point out in the letter that Johnson made the following remarks, which emphasize racism.

• “Business and Economic Neighborhood Development, the deputy mayor is a Black woman.”
• “Department of Planning and Development is a Black woman.”
• “Infrastructure, deputy mayor is a Black woman.”
• “Chief operations officer is a Black man.”
• “Budget director is a Black woman.”
• “Senior advisor is a Black man.”

Dhillon went on to note that if Johnson was hiring based on race for high-level decisions, he quite possible was doing the same for lower-level ones.

Incoming DOJ Investigation? Trump Demands Investigation Into Kamala Harris’s “Illegal Payments” to Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah and Bono for Endorsements Disguised as “Entertainment”

President Donald Trump is calling for an investigation into a massive illegal scheme involving Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign and a slew of left-wing celebrity endorsements deceptively framed as “entertainment services.”

In a fiery late-night post on Truth Social, Trump torched Harris and her Hollywood cronies, alleging that her campaign engaged in illegal campaign finance activities by funneling massive sums of money to entertainers like Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono in exchange for endorsements under the guise of “performances.”

Trump: “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???

I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.

In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

“It Was A War. We Won”: Rare Breed Triggers Scores Landmark Victory Over DOJ/ATF 

The Department of Justice announced a settlement with Rare Breed Triggers (RBT) on Friday, ending a multi-year legal battle over Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs). The agreement aligns with President Trump’s Executive Order protecting Second Amendment rights and follows guidance from the Attorney General’s Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force.

The legal settlement marks a significant reversal of the Biden administration’s efforts to weaponize the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in its crackdown on FRT-15s—a trigger mechanism for AR-platform rifles that increases the rate of fire.

Lawrence DeMonico, president of RBT, has explained countless times that the FRT-15 is not a “machine gun” because it does not fire more than one round per single function of the trigger—an essential distinction under the definitions outlined in the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act. As “Forced Reset” implies, spring tension and a mechanical assist reset the trigger after each shot.
