John Solomon Reveals DNI Tulsi Gabbard and FBI to Release Explosive Declassified Docs Proving Foreign Election Interference and Secret U.S. Surveillance Program Triggered by “Speech Delimiters”

Investigative journalist John Solomon says a wave of explosive revelations may soon shake Washington as newly declassified intelligence documents are prepared for release.

In a jaw-dropping interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Solomon revealed that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI are preparing to release a large body of declassified material over the next ten days that allegedly exposes foreign interference in U.S. elections and secret government surveillance operations targeting Americans, including President Donald Trump.

According to Solomon, the documents contain information that has been hidden from the public, and possibly even from Trump himself, until recently.

Solomon told Bannon that he has already begun reviewing portions of the intelligence material and described the findings as “explosive.”

John Solomon:
Now, over the next 10 days, Steve, we’re going to have a lot more. For the first time, we’re going to be able to start processing these documents—a large body of evidence in the intelligence community that raises concerns about foreign interference in our elections. That will probably come at the end of this week or early next week.

The documents are explosive. They’re really remarkable. And what’s most remarkable is that all of this has been kept from the American people—possibly even from President Trump in some cases—until recently, of course, when his team told him. I think there’s a lot there.

He said the information could begin surfacing by the end of this week or early next week once the declassification process is completed.

Solomon revealed the existence of a previously unknown, “off-the-books” FBI investigation.

While we’ve heard of Arctic Frost and Plasmic Echo, this new operation targeted President Trump and his associates using what Solomon described as “speech delimiters.”

Essentially, if you spoke about certain issues or used specific phrases, you were automatically deemed a “national security threat,” placed on a list, and subjected to clandestine government surveillance.

Epstein files were allegedly compromised by foreign hacker in 2023; FBI admits ‘cyber incident’

The FBI Field Office in New York produced myriad documents pertaining to its criminal probe into child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in a Feb. 17, 2025, letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein” were stored on site there.

Some of these documents were allegedly compromised in a hack years before the Department of Justice began publishing the heavily redacted Epstein files.

The bureau revealed in 2023 that it was investigating a hack of its computer network, which it characterized as an “isolated incident that has been contained.”

Multiple sources briefed on the matter told CNN at the time that FBI officials suspected the incident involved a bureau computer system used in the investigations of images of child sexual exploitation.

Arizona Senate President Confirms “the FBI Has the Records” After FBI Seizes Maricopa County Election Records in Criminal Probe

The FBI has reportedly expanded its investigation into election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona, obtaining election records through a subpoena in the state’s largest county. 

This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to Arizona last month, just weeks after the FBI executed a search warrant in Fulton County, investigating fraud in the 2020 election.

Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman at the time had teased a major breakthrough in Arizona’s elections, saying he’d been in contact with the Department of Homeland Security for the “last 72hrs,” adding, “Stay tuned America.”

Now, the FBI has quietly seized Maricopa County election data and voting records via a grand jury subpoena, according to Just the News.

The probe reportedly involves allegations from the 2024 election that Runbeck Election Services, the private company that provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, allegedly commingled voted ballots with blank ballots in multiple states. US Rep. Abe Hamadeh previously alerted the Department of Justice to these findings and demanded an investigation.

This also comes after the 2020 and 2022 elections, during which hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were counted without chain-of-custody documentation and with mismatched signatures.

Former General Linked to Top-Secret UFO Lab Goes Missing

The FBI is searching for the former head of an infamous and classified research laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. William Neil McCasland, a retired US general, disappeared on Friday in Albuquerque after leaving home without his watch or phone. The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office has issued a Silver Alert for the 68-year-old man, whom one Facebook user claimed to have spotted on the Whitewash trailhead in Piedra Lisa Canyon. McCasland is also reported to have an unspecified medical condition. “Our priority is finding Mr. McCasland safely,” Sheriff John Allen said in a press release. “Our investigators and search teams are working continuously, and we’re coordinating closely with our local, state, and federal partners.”

UFO experts speculate that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has access to extraterrestrial materials and technology, as it houses the lab that analyzed debris from the 1947 Roswell Incident. McCasland took command of the laboratory from 2011 until his retirement in 2013. After WikiLeaks released thousands of documents in 2016, his name appeared in yet another UFO context among emails sent to John Podesta, manager of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The author of those emails, Blink-182 guitarist and frontman Tom DeLonge, told Podesta that McCasland provided advice on how to handle disclosure in relation to DeLonge’s company, To The Stars, Inc.

The FBI and local sheriff’s department are urging Albuquerque residents to review security camera footage and contact them immediately upon discovering any clues.

FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands

The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.

The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.

Election irregularities in Arizona and elsewhere

The subpoena comes five years after the GOP-led Arizona state Senate conducted a lengthy investigation into the 2020 election and concluded there were significant irregularities.

More recently, the bureau was alerted to a report filed by Republican and Democrat election observers who believed they observed irregularities in November 2024 at a warehouse in Arizona where blank and filled-out absentee ballots were observed in the same location, according to the sources.

Congress has never released the report from the staffers who were sent to observe the 2024 election in Maricopa County, which includes Arizona’s largest city of Phoenix.

But House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil recently hinted at the significance of the report in an interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show.

“We’re digging back through those reports that were submitted by our election observers that were deployed across the country,” Steil said. “This is where working hand in glove with other federal government agencies is so important.

“We have reports documenting instances that occurred in Arizona and across the country, and we are reviewing those in real time and working hand in glove with federal partners to make sure that the law was followed in every jurisdiction in the country,” he added.

FBI Launches Terrorism Probe as Bombs at New York City Counter-Protest Reported to Have Deadly TATP Explosive Favored by Islamist Terrorists

The two homemade bombs that failed to detonate at a counter-protest against an anti-Islam demonstration in New York City on Saturday contained the deadly explosive TATP (triacetone triperoxide), aka “Mother of Satan,” that is favored by Islamist terrorists, according to reports. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has reportedly taken the lead in the investigation. (Previous TGP article.)

One bomb was thrown at an anti-Islam rally held at Gracie Mansion, official home to New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, that was led by controversial J6er Jake Lang. One suspect reportedly yelled “Allahu akbar” when the bomb was thrown. The second bomb was dropped after being ignited by a fleeing suspect.

Neither of the bombs, which reportedly contained nuts and bolts, went off–saving countless lives. New York City police ran to the danger and secured the bombs. (A third suspected device is being investigated after being found several blocks away from Gracie Mansion on Sunday.)

Two men from Pennsylvania, Emir Bala, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested at the scene in connection to the attempted bombings. The New York Post reported the men are “self-radicalized” supporters of ISIS and confessed to the bombing. Both men reportedly had recently traveled to the Middle East.

David Copperfield Ends 25-Year Vegas Residency Over His Presence in the ‘Epstein Files – Documents Show FBI Probed His ‘Predilection for Minors’

No ‘Abracadabra’ can make this trouble disappear.

The ‘Epstein curse’ is like s stain that won’t go away, for some people. And in the case of magician David Copperfield, he hasn’t been able to ‘trick’ his way out of trouble.

Last Thursday (5), the entertainer announced that his 25-year residency on the Vegas strip in Sin City was coming to an end.

Los Angeles Magazine reported:

“Among the millions of documents in the Justice Department’s drop of the Epstein files was a slew of FBI memos that mention magician David Copperfield. In one, agents discussed whether Copperfield and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’ and whether they ‘shared a predilection for minors’.

That memo was written in 2007, a year before the billionaire financier cut a sweetheart deal with Florida law enforcement on charges he had sex with underage females. But Copperfield’s name appears extensively in the Epstein files, referenced multiple times in FBI files until Epstein died in 2019 at the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

How Israel and the FBI manipulated assassination plots to goad Trump into Iran war

The FBI manufactured plots to convince Trump that Iran sought to kill him, while Israel and its administration allies exploited the president’s deepest fears to keep him on the war path.

“I got him before he got me,” an ebullient President Donald Trump remarked to a reporter when asked about his motives for authorizing the killing of Iran’s Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on February 28, 2026.

With his off-the-cuff remark, Trump revealed that anxiety about his own assassination at the hands of Iranian agents influenced his decision to initiate a US-Israeli regime change war that has already resulted in American casualties, the bombings of schools and hospitals inside Iran, devastating Iranian retaliatory strikes on US military bases and embassies, and a spiraling global economic crisis.

Trump’s generalized fears of assassination were well-founded. He was nearly killed in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024 by a 20-year-old engineering student named Thomas Crooks who managed to fire eight rounds at the former president from a rooftop, slicing his ear and missing his head by a hair’s breadth. Two months later, a drifter named Ryan Routh was arrested after hiding for hours in the shrubbery outside the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh had been spotted after pointing an assault rifle toward a Secret Service agent as Trump played golf 400 yards away. 

Officials have yet to produce any evidence that Iran played a role in either of these attempts on Trump’s life. Yet since those fateful events, Israel-aligned Trump advisors, Israeli intelligence, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself have gone to extreme lengths in order to tie Tehran to the plots. More shocking still is the fact that the FBI has manufactured a series of assassination plots, successfully convincing Trump that Iran was hunting him on US soil with highly sophisticated teams of hit men.

The man accused of leading the most significant of these operations, Asif Merchant, is currently on trial in a Brooklyn, NY federal court. After the US granted him a visa despite his presence on a terror watchlist, Merchant was in the constant company of an FBI confidential informant who ultimately steered the contrived plot to its conclusion. He never stood a chance of realizing his plans, and did not appear serious about doing so.

Independent journalist Ken Silva puts it succinctly in his forthcoming investigative book, “The Trump Assassination Plots”: “A closer look at the Merchant case reveals that at the very least…it was a highly controlled FBI sting operation that never posed a threat to Trump. More nefariously, records and whistleblower disclosures indicate that Merchant may have been the patsy in a case totally fabricated by the undercover agents.”

Authorities arrested Merchant on July 12, 2024 – just one day before Crooks attempted to kill Trump in Butler. Hours after the failed Butler assassination, FBI agents interrogated Merchant about whether it was in fact Iran that had Crooks under its control. 

At that point, Trump was still campaigning to be a “President of Peace. On the campaign stump, he warned that his opponent, Kamala Harris, “would get us into World War III guaranteed.” Trump vowed to resolve the war between Ukraine and Russia in one day, and distanced himself from pro-war Republicans who sought regime change in Iran. 

Pro-war elements in Trump’s coterie exercised multiple points of leverage to reverse the president’s anti-interventionist instincts. Ultra-Zionist billionaires supplied vital and well-documented influence over Trump’s policies by keeping his campaign war chest flush. But Trump remained an erratic personality whose petty grievances kept his aides in a perpetual state of uncertainty.

It was only by exploiting Trump’s deepest psychological vulnerability – his fear of an assassin’s bullet – that Israel and its cutouts in his administration were able to secure their influence over the president, keeping him on the warpath against Iran.

DOJ files reveal FBI’s plan to probe if close friends David Copperfield and Jeffrey Epstein shared a ‘predilection for minors’ and swapped possible victims 

The FBI sought to investigate if close friends Jeffrey Epstein and David Copperfield referred underage women to each other, a document released as part of the Epstein files reveal.

But agents claimed ‘weak’ bureau brass were intimidated by Copperfield and his ‘financial resources’ were too much for them to handle and the probe was eventually called off for those and other reasons.

A Daily Mail deep dive into the DOJ’s files reveals how serious the investigation into Copperfield was – and how close he was to the pedophile. Their ties were so close, the FBI referred to the illusionist as his favorite ‘cohort.’

Now, Copperfield announced today he is quitting his long running residency at the MGM Grand. He did not give a reason although it comes as his name appears at least 438 times in the released  DOJ documents from the Epstein files.

His final performance at the MGM Grand will be on April 30. He remains slated to perform 120 shows over the next eight weeks, in some cases as many as three shows a night. 

The DOJ emails show that prosecutors identified ‘lots of acts’ and and needed to further investigate whether Copperfield and Epstein were ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’.

The documents indicate that Copperfield had a ‘very close relationship’ with Epstein and trained his staff to pull young women from the audience at his shows to bring them backstage, where he kept a notebook of those he had sex with.

But after concern from ‘higher ups’, as one law enforcement official put it, the investigation did not lead to charges.

FBI is probing ‘suspicious’ breach into bureau networks

The FBI is investigating a possible cyber breach into bureau networks, the agency confirmed to Nextgov/FCW.

“The FBI identified and addressed suspicious activities on FBI networks, and we have leveraged all technical capabilities to respond,” the bureau said Thursday. The statement did not elaborate further.

CNN first reported the incident and said the breach concerned a network used to facilitate and manage court-ordered wiretapping requests, citing a person familiar with an investigation into the matter. Nextgov/FCW could not independently confirm the matter was linked to wiretap systems.

Wiretaps are a common law enforcement technique used to lawfully intercept communications data on domestic targets. To obtain data, FBI analysts are typically required to obtain a warrant from a judge, allowing them to compel communications providers to hand over call, text or email data tied to a target. Specialized court orders can also allow for real-time surveillance of phone calls.

The FBI is also a heavy user of a communications intercept law housed in Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which lets certain agencies target overseas foreigners’ communications without a warrant. 

Telecom providers’ “lawful intercept” wiretapping systems were ensnared in a sweeping Chinese hack uncovered in 2024. The hackers, tied to a group called Salt Typhoon, leveraged the intrusions to target communications of high profile political officials including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Foreign adversaries may, at any point in time, be targeting U.S. government systems. Wiretap contents are especially high-value intelligence targets because they could reveal sensitive information about what officials are thinking or planning.

It’s not clear if Salt Typhoon or another collective tied to foreign hackers was involved in the incident. Salt Typhoon is likely holding onto pilfered data “in perpetuity” for future theft and cyber exploitation, a top FBI official said last month.

The FBI has lost many of its staff in the last year amid a mix of firings and other mechanisms used by the second Trump administration to curtail the size of the federal workforce. That turnover has threatened the bureau’s national security resources, experts argue.
