Gavin Newsom’s Wife Turns Into a Stuttering Mess When Asked if the Investigation of Her Husband Actually Started Under Biden 

Gavin Newsom’s wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom recently appeared on MSNOW and things got a little tricky for her when the host asked her if the federal investigation of her husband actually began under President Joe Biden, which it did.

Suddenly, there was a lot of uh… uhh… uhh… happening on the screen.

She quickly tried to pivot to Trump, but it just didn’t work. It came off as rather awkward.

The New York Post reported:

Jennifer Siebel Newsom calls DOJ probe ‘fishing expedition’ in awkward interview

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, called the investigation targeting the couple a “fishing expedition” in an awkward interview Friday — her first extended comments on the subject since the Democratic governor dropped news in June of a bombshell federal probe.

At one point, the feminist filmmaker seemed flustered when asked directly by MS Now anchor Stephanie Ruhle if the investigation actually started under former Democratic President Joe Biden, as some sources have alleged.

Both the governor, who is considering a run for president in 2028, and wife have stuck to their claims the probe is politically motivated by Republican President Donald Trump.

“I don’t know the details,” Siebel Newsom said after a pause.

She then tried to explain the timeline.

“I do know that Trump was coming after my husband when…back when Biden was president and Biden was running for the presidency.”

Trump Calls on FBI to Investigate ‘Significant Evidence of Fraud’ in Michigan 2020 Election, Releases Declassified Files

President Donald Trump has called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate alleged voter fraud in Michigan during the 2020 election, revealing during his Thursday night address that the FBI uncovered criminal activity in a probe that was “killed” by the Biden administration.

Trump’s evening speech focused heavily on election integrity, culminating in a renewed request for Congress to finally pass the SAVE America Act. As the president delivered his remarks, the White House dropped a series of declassified documents showing that government agencies were aware of alleged attempts to influence the results of the race between Trump and former President Joe Biden.  

According to Trump, that set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems.”

“They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that,” he continued, before sharing that an intelligence assessment showed that adversaries of the United States, “including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups,” have the capability to compromise American elections. 

A portion of the declassified materials released by the White House revealed that the Michigan State Police uncovered fraudulent activity within a large-scale Democrat get-out-the-vote effort, and that the case was being investigated by the FBI. It is unclear who might have been prosecuted as a result. 

“Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up,” Trump said. “Among the disclosures tonight are FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter registration operation in Michigan. In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat get-out-the-vote organization — a corrupt group in Muskegon — and were so concerned by what they found.”

He continued, “They were just so concerned they couldn’t believe it, actually, that they contacted the FBI in Detroit.”

According to the newly released files, canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people’s names, submitted fraudulent registrations for people who did not exist, and received commission based on the number of applications that they produced in the form of monetary gift cards.  

“In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat,” Trump stated. “The FBI agents working on the cases believe that crimes were committed, yet the Biden Department of Justice slow-walked the investigation and killed it.”

“Tonight, I’m asking the FBI director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated, and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes,” the president added.

The Michigan State Police first stated that it was examining “irregularities in voter registration forms” in Muskegon in October 2020, the Detroit News reported. 

Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Curtis Hertel criticized Trump’s speech on social media, writing, “I liked this speech better when it was between a crematorium and an adult book store.”

Biden’s Memoir Given Post-Midterm Release, But Will It Hurt Democrats Anyway?

Joe Biden’s publisher has picked a release date for his memoir, Promise Me, America, and the timing may reflect how little the party wants to talk about him before November.

Biden previously indicated during one of his wife Jill Biden’s book events last month that his memoir would be released in September; however, its official publication date has been revealed to be Nov. 17, 2026, two weeks after the midterm elections.

USA Today framed the schedule as a gift to Democratic candidates, sparing them questions about a book.

The book, published by Little, Brown and Company, comes as Democrats are still debating Biden’s initial decision to run for reelection despite concerns about his age, only to drop out less than four months before the election to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to become the nominee.

The post-midterm release will spare Democratic candidates from having to revisit any questions raised by the book during their campaigns to regain control the House and Senate. And it also means any media tour Biden goes on to promote the book would seemingly take place after the election.

The reasoning assumes any media tour built around the book will also wait until after Americans have voted in the midterms. However, that likely won’t be the case.

Jill Biden’s memoir, View From the East Wing, was published on June 2, 2026, but the publicity campaign began earlier, with interviews, excerpts, and advance coverage designed to build anticipation and build up pre-order sales. Joe Biden’s team has every reason to run a similar playbook, as his sales figures will be heavily scrutinized by the media.

A two-minute teaser video frames Promise Me, America as an account of, in his words, “the challenges we face as a nation, about the decisions I made, and why I made them,” with the most significant reveal in its pages being his two key decisions of the 2024 presidential campaign.

“It’s about why I chose to run for reelection, and why I chose to step aside,” he said. “Most of all, it’s about my faith in the promise in America – the promise we made to those who’ve gone before us and to honor their sacrifice. The promise we’ve made to one and another, and to treat everyone with dignity and respect.”

Trump Announces Iran Has Freed American Woman Held Captive Since Biden’s Term

An American woman who has been held in Iran for more than 18 months has been freed, according to President Donald Trump.

Jared Genser, the attorney for Dena Karari, said it was a “minor miracle” that she was freed during a war, according to CNN.

He noted that her health issues, which included a massive heart attack suffered last week, may have played a role in the 53-year-old’s release.

“Iran has allowed an American Citizen, who was wrongfully detained in December of 2024 under the ‘presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden, to leave the Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“She is now safely outside of Iran, and in good condition,” Trump wrote.

“The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran!” he posted.

Genser credited Trump for his client’s release.

Joe Biden Announces He Has ‘Written’ a Tell-All Book and the Replies Are Absolutely Savage

In an unwelcome development for Democrats, Joe Biden has burst back onto the scene just before the midterms with a major announcement that the American people are ripping apart.

On Wednesday morning, Biden revealed that he has ‘written’ a book reflecting on his time as ‘president,’ and explaining why he did so.

The book, “Promise Me, America,” is coming out on November 17th and is available for preorder now.

In the video accompanying the announcement, Biden first updates the American people on what he has been doing, then details exactly what is in the memoir.

Biden says readers will learn about his thought process regarding the critical decisions he supposedly made while in office and why he decided to run for reelection before reversing himself.

The former White House occupant also says his book will explain why he has such faith in America and the American people.

Mexican President Blames Biden-Era Policies for Rise in Cartel Violence

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is blaming Biden-era policies of the United States government for having helped set off the fierce turf war that followed. The turf war erupted after the split between the two main factions of the Sinaloa Cartel following the arrest of the fearsome cartel boss Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.

During her morning news conferences, Sheinbaum claimed that if the Biden administration had shared information with Mexican authorities and let them carry out the arrest, the cartel would not have split, and the violence spreading through Mexico would not have happened. The comments come at a time when tensions are high with the United States over Sheinbaum’s refusal to fight cartels. Her comments also come soon after the Mexican president announced that her government would be taking legal action against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in connection with the deaths of migrants in detention centers and during raids.

In regard to the violence in Sinaloa, Sheinbaum was referring to the 2024 kidnapping and arrest of Zambada at the hands of the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The operation took place in the last year of the Biden administration. As Breitbart Texas reported at the time, the leaders of Los Chapitos, who are the sons of jailed Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and inherited his power, had called a meeting with El Mayo only to capture him and fly him to the United States. When the airplane landed, U.S. federal agents were waiting to arrest El Mayo, who pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and is awaiting sentencing later this month. The kidnapping and arrest of El Mayo sparked a fierce turf war within the Sinaloa Cartel that has led to thousands of murders, kidnappings, and forced disappearances.

The issue of El Mayo’s arrest has gained relevance in recent days after a series of leaked photographs showed how U.S. agents had been waiting for El Mayo, pointing to some coordination between Los Chapitos and U.S. law enforcement. The issue comes at a time when the Trump administration has been pressuring Sheinbaum to eradicate drug cartels, leading to heightened tensions between the two governments.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice delivered a heavy blow to Sheinbaum’s credibility when it announced a criminal indictment against Sinaloa’s Governor Ruben Rocha Moya and nine of his closest officials, who were the heads of the state law enforcement apparatus. As Breitbart Texas has reported, rather than help with the arrests and extraditions, Sheinbaum has used the claim of national sovereignty to refuse U.S. help in fighting cartels and has publicly defended Rocha Moya, who is from the same political party, claiming that there is no proof of wrongdoing on his part. Federal prosecutors in the United States claim that Rocha Moya worked with Los Chapitos, providing them with protection in exchange for bribes and political support.

Appeals Court Blocks Release of Audiotapes of Biden’s Conversations with Ghostwriter

A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked the DOJ from releasing 70 hours of Joe Biden’s conversations with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer.

Last month, a federal judge cleared the way for the Justice Department to release recordings of Biden’s conversations with his ghostwriter to the Oversight Project.

US District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, said the redactions were sufficient.

Biden’s lawyers immediately requested an injunction pending appeal.

Last month Judge Friedrich stayed her own order pending appeal and gave the DC Circuit Court of Appeals three weeks to make a decision on whether the DOJ can release Biden’s audiotapes.

On Friday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the release of the audiotapes to the Oversight Project for 10 days.

CBS News reported:

A federal appeals court temporarily blocked the Justice Department from turning over to a conservative think tank redacted transcripts and audio recordings of conversations former President Joe Biden had with his biographer roughly a decade ago.

A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agreed to issue an administrative injunction that stops the release of the material to the Heritage Foundation for 10 days.

The court said in a brief unsigned order that the purpose of its injunction, which expires at 11:59 p.m. on July 20, is to “give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for an injunction pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion.”

The recordings at issue in the legal fight date back to 2016 and 2017, when Biden sat down with his biographer, Mark Zwonitzer, for his memoir, “Promise Me, Dad.” But they gained interest from the Heritage Foundation several years later following an investigation by former special counsel Robert Hur into Biden’s handling of sensitive government records after his vice presidency, which ended in 2017. The former president was not charged with any crimes stemming from Hur’s investigation.

Robert Hur in February 2024 released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.

Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”

Chinese University Espionage and How Biden Shut Down the Program That Might Have Stopped It

Chinese enrollment in U.S. higher education grew steadily through the Obama years, climbing from under 200,000 in 2011–12 to a peak of 372,532 by 2019–20. By March 2018, alongside that growth, the FBI warned in its bulletin, “China: The Risk to Academia,” that the broader population of international students and scholars in the United States, then numbering 1.4 million, posed a national security exposure. Chinese students were the largest source of that population.

The Bureau warned that a subset of those students and scholars was being used by Beijing as “non-traditional collectors,” exploiting the openness of U.S. research institutions through talent recruitment programs, unsolicited research collaboration offers, and academic visits to advance Chinese military and commercial interests. The bulletin stated that China does not “play by the same rules of academic integrity” as American institutions and called on universities to report suspicious contacts to their local FBI field office.

That assessment fed directly into the Department of Justice’s response. On November 1, 2018, the DOJ launched the China Initiative under Attorney General Jeff Sessions to counter Chinese economic espionage. The initiative was led by Assistant Attorney General John Demers of the National Security Division, alongside a senior FBI executive and five U.S. attorneys.

Joe Biden Receives Massive Blowback For Posting Anti-American Fourth of July Message on America’s 250th Celebration

Joe Biden received massive blowback for his anti-American Fourth of July message on the 250th celebration on Saturday.

In a message posted to social media, Biden (or his staffer) claimed America is just an idea.

Joe Biden also scolded Americans for not fully living up to the words in the Declaration of Independence.

Biden’s full statement:

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we’re all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We’re the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That’s always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it’s our turn.

There’s nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That’s not a burden. That’s what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven’t fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we’ve never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don’t believe we’re as divided as we’re told we are. I’ve bet my whole life on the American people, and I’m not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn’t finished. Let’s keep writing it together.

Biden’s Own Party Heckled Him During A Speech, And Then He Embarrassed Himself

It’s been two years since Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate against President Donald Trump, which ultimately made his party realize they could no longer pretend he was fit for office and forced him out of the race.

Two years later, Biden is still proving how unfit he was, this time stumbling through a combative speech in front of the very people who used to cheer him on.

Biden showed up Saturday night at the Maryland Democrat Party’s Fight Back & Win Summit at Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Md., to deliver a teleprompter-fed attack against Trump.

The crowd was full of party activists, the kind of room that should have been the easiest audience of his career.

Instead, hecklers interrupted him mid-speech, and by the time it was over, he struggled just to make his way off the stage.
