DOJ Sends Soros-Backed Philly DA Larry Krasner Grand Jury Subpoenas in Federal Criminal Investigation After Judge Accused Him of Obstruction and Lying to the Court

The Department of Justice has sent grand jury subpoenas to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as part of a probe into obstruction of justice by his office.

Fox News reports that the investigation relates to Krasner’s handling of cases before a federal judge who referred him to the DOJ.

As The Gateway Pundit reported last month, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner to the Department of Justice for potential conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges after he and his top deputy lied to the court to overturn a murder conviction.

Krassner and his deputy, Matthew Stiegler, are accused of making false statements and suborning perjury in a bid to overturn a conviction for Dennis Johnson.

Claude Calls The Cops: Anthropic’s AI Filed A Fake Murder Tip With Philly Police, Then Took 81 Days To Mention It

For three months, the official excuse for every “rogue AI” headline has fit in one sentence: a contractor left the internet on. On Friday, Anthropic ran out of contractors to blame.

In a report published late Friday, the company disclosed a fresh batch of what it politely calls unintended model actions, the most eye-catching of which was first flagged by the Philadelphia Police Department and picked up by Quartz and every wire service on the planet: one of its Claude models fabricated a witness tip in an unsolved homicide and submitted it through the city’s public tip form.

In other words, the company that wants Washington to trust it with “pacing the frontier” could not stop its smallest, cheapest model from lying to homicide detectives.

Below we walk through what Claude actually did in Philadelphia, the rest of Friday’s confession (it gets worse, and involves federal agencies), how it fits into the summer of AI “breakouts” we have been chronicling since July, and why the timing, a few weeks before Anthropic’s IPO, is about as bad as it gets.

11:27 PM On A Saturday Night: “I May Have Information”

The facts, as laid out by Anthropic and the Philadelphia PD’s own statement, are not in dispute.

Claude Haiku 4.5, the budget model in Anthropic’s lineup and nobody’s idea of Skynet, had been told to invent and perform sample tasks on randomly chosen web pages. One run landed on PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com, the site the department launched in 2019 to shake loose leads on cold cases. The page described an unsolved killing and carried a tip form. So Claude filled it in.

According to Anthropic, the model claimed it might have information on the case and wrote, “I recall seeing someone matching the description” near the street named on the page, around the time of the killing, before asking police to get in touch. Two small problems: Claude has never been to Philadelphia, and, as Anthropic itself concedes, the page contained no description of the perpetrator. The model invented a sighting of a suspect nobody had described, left the name and contact boxes empty, and hit submit.

The submission is time-stamped July 18, 2026 at 11:27 p.m., per the police. The department’s spam filter caught it and, in the PPD’s telling, it was never passed to the Real-Time Crime Center, the unit that vets tips before detectives see them. No police systems were breached and no department data was touched.

Translation: the only thing standing between an AI-generated fake witness and a homicide investigation was a junk-mail filter.

How did this get past Anthropic’s own rules? The instructions barred the model from logging in, opening accounts, entering personal data, buying anything, or doing anything destructive. They did not say “do not submit forms.” So it did. Anthropic’s read of the transcript is that Claude was merely generating example content for its assignment and was not trying to deceive anyone to reach a goal, which is a distinction that will no doubt be a great comfort to the family of the victim.

Far-Left Philly Teacher Who Called Herself ‘Black and Palestinian’ Begs Her Comrades for Mercy as The Surprising Truth About Her Background is Revealed 

A Philadelphia woman is being compared to the infamous former NAACP President Rachel Dolezal after her cover as a Palestinian and black woman was blown up by other woke activists.

The New York Post reported on Wednesday that Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia teacher, was forced to admit that she invented her identity as a Palestinian after her comrades grew suspicious of her background and confronted her over it.

“I lied about my identity and have been lying for years. I have no Palestinian or Tunisian heritage,” Gann wrote on Instagram.

“I am a white woman of significant privilege and wealth. Anyone who supported me was manipulated and should not be judged as a result of their support for me,” she added.

In a subsequent video, Gann continued groveling to her comrades and revealed more about how deep her lies ran.

“I hid the truth or outright lied about my background to everyone in my life,” she stated.

Gann additionally claimed she “allowed half-truths and obfuscations to grow into outright lies” because she “genuinely wanted to commit to the work I was doing.”

Soros Backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Threatens to Blow Up White House Ballroom

Larry Krasner has a record of corruption as Philly DA. He is a Soros-backed prosecutor.  His record is as corrupt as the records of other Soros-backed DAs inserted across the country.

After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family’s apparatus tells them what to do, documents show.

The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) “directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes.”

MRC’s yearlong investigation suggests that Soros maintained influence over his chosen candidates after their elections were over. FJP had the Soros-backed attorneys sign 33 pledges to not enforce certain laws — including election integrity measures and immigration laws — and attend more than 50 meetings or “convenings,” some of which were “mandatory.” FJP pressed prosecutors to let criminals off the hook if they are black, having them pledge to “reduc[e] racial disparities in case outcomes by at least 20%.”

FJP’s influence can be seen on some of the most high-profile Soros prosecutors. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sought to indict former President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 protests after the group said it wanted to hold Trump “accountable.” Since-ousted San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was in contact with FJP on a daily basis. On 20 occasions, FJP sent prosecutors “templates” of press releases they should send out, as well as social media posts to “adapt.”

“Being a Soros prosecutor means extensive, free access to expert political consulting firms, complete with detailed polling and field-tested messaging strategies,” the MRC’s report found. “FJP remains in the driver seat, though, even going so far as to draft social media posts for its prosecutors so they can better coordinate their messaging.”

Appeals Court: Trump Administration Can Reinstall Slavery Exhibit Panels at Philadelphia Historic Site

President Donald Trump’s administration is allowed to reinstall updated interpretive panels at a historic site in Philadelphia that have been the subject of criticism, an appeals court ruled on Friday.

Critics have claimed those panels that were at the site of George Washington’s home did not give a full picture of slavery at the time, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

“The new educational panels were designed to replace ones put up in 2010 that told the story of how nine slaves lived in the home along with George and Martha Washington in the 1790s, when Philadelphia was briefly the nation’s capital,” the AP article read.

However, the older panels were removed after Trump signed an executive order regarding federally owned or operated historic sites across the nation.

In his order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” the president highlighted the fact that “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

He continued:

This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light. Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.  Rather than fostering unity and a deeper understanding of our shared past, the widespread effort to rewrite history deepens societal divides and fosters a sense of national shame, disregarding the progress America has made and the ideals that continue to inspire millions around the globe.

The order said officials would take action “as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that all public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times), and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people or, with respect to natural features, the beauty, abundance, and grandeur of the American landscape.”

The National Park Service (NPS) removed the older slavery exhibit panels at the Philadelphia site in January following Trump’s directive, according to Breitbart News.

FBI Investigating Philly Home Packed With Chemicals, Guns, Fake DEA IDs – Career Criminal Arrested After ‘One of the Strangest Setups’ Cops Have Seen

Federal authorities have launched a major investigation into a rowhouse in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood after the arrest of 44-year-old Eugene Albert Horsch, a convicted felon found with a fake DEA badge, multiple firearms with obliterated serial numbers, crack cocaine, and a basement that police described as a makeshift laboratory filled with dangerous chemicals.

The case began on June 19, 2026, when a U.S. Park Ranger spotted a black BMW parked near a fire hydrant along the 600 block of Market Street near Independence Mall, according to FOX29.

Extra officers were deployed in the area due to the World Cup match in South Philly.

The ranger approached the vehicle after hearing a disturbance. A woman inside reportedly yelled, “You’re going to hurt me.”

When officers searched Horsch, they found:

  • A switchblade knife in his pocket
  • Fake DEA credentials identifying him as a federal agent
  • Two loaded guns with obliterated serial numbers hidden under the floorboards
  • A glass drug pipe and other paraphernalia
  • Horsch admitted to possessing crack cocaine

The woman with him was carrying identification bearing her photo, but the name of a woman reported missing since 2023.

Philly mayor yells at public, asks ‘how dare’ they question how much she wants to tax

n one of the most out-of-touch examples I’ve seen of Democrats in recent weeks, we’ve now got Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker yelling at her constituents over a new tax she wants on each and every ride-sharing journey: if enacted, all Uber and Lyft rides would have an additional dollar tacked on (to support the dying city education system), which in a substantial number of instances, wouldn’t be a miniscule tax. (The average cost of a rideshare in Philadelphia is somewhere between $16 and $24, or 6.25% and 4%, respectively.)

Parker wonders “how dare” the citizens and voters question how much she wants to take out of their pockets for others’ expenses.

Just so we’re all clear, this same woman just marched against “kings” a few weeks back, and even showed up as a featured speaker (via video) for her city’s protest…now imposing unpopular taxes by royal decree.

For context, under Cherelle Parker’s “leadership,” the public school system is facing a $300-million deficit, which according to the superintendent, “is driven by salary increases… rising charter school payments, and higher healthcare costs.” Entry-level teaching positions start around $54,000—in a school district where a whopping 85% of kids don’t test at or above a “proficient” level in their studies, according to the “Nation’s Report Card” data. Ironically, you may remember that Parker is the same woman who in 2025, made headlines when she couldn’t even spell “Eagles,” as in the Philadelphia Eagles. Her city’s own NFL team. A five-letter word. “E-L-G-S-E-S!”

One of Jill Biden’s Secret Service Agents Shot Himself in the Leg at Philadelphia Airport

A Secret Service agent has reportedly shot himself in the leg while escorting former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday.

A heavy police presence was seen surrounding the American Airlines ticket counter at Terminal C. A black Chevy Suburban was spotted with its trunk and front passenger door open, cordoned off by police tape, while a medical unit was also seen leaving the scene, followed by a Philadelphia police car.

The agent’s condition is currently unclear.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service said, “We are gathering the facts and will have a statement shortly.”

Former First Lady Jill Biden was being escorted through the airport at the time of the incident, while Americans continued to face long security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security for more than 40 days. 

As of Friday morning, the Senate passed a funding bill; however, it did not provide support for immigration agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Democrats are hailing the measure as another party victory, framing yet another prolonged shutdown as a successful political maneuver.

ABHORRENT: Terrorist Sympathizers in Philadelphia Celebrate Fallen U.S. Soldiers, Back Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran While Torch­ing American Flags — “For Every U.S. soldier Who Returns Home in a Casket, We Cheer!”

A mob of masked terrorist sympathizers descended on City Hall Wednesday evening for a so-called “Hands Off Iran” rally and proceeded to cheer the deaths of U.S. soldiers, openly praise Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and set American flags on fire while waving Palestinian and Iranian flags.

This wasn’t some fringe gathering hidden in the shadows. This was brazen, in-your-face anti-American extremism happening in broad daylight in a major U.S. city.

Video footage captured by independent journalist Frank Scales of Surge Philly shows the crowd erupting in cheers as a speaker in a bright red hoodie said:

“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every U.S. military base that crumbles, and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer!”

The speaker didn’t stop there. He went full-throated in support of America’s deadliest enemies:

“Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah [the Houthis], and all the resistance forces – we celebrate these popular forces on the ground. They spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity. Do you hate America? May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.”

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Charged With Attempted Murder After His Brother, a Philly Cop, Bailed Him Out

A Philadelphia cop bailed his brother, 27-year-old illegal-alien Jamaican thug Christopher Leon Bailey, out of jail after the brother road-raged and attempted to murder another motorist, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported.

Last week, ICE collared Bailey. Before his brother, an immigration judge was involved in keeping Bailey on the streets when he freed him after his arrest in 2023.

Unclear is whether the far-left district attorney in Philadelphia and the city’s sheriff will investigate the matter. Both have said ICE agents will be arrested if they attempt to enforce federal immigration laws in the city and “commit crimes” while doing so.

On January 23, Bailey “was the aggressor in a road rage incident, where he chased down an individual he almost hit with a car in Ridley Township,” about 18 southwest of Philadelphia, ICE reported:

The incident escalated into an armed confrontation where Bailey pulled a knife and attempted to stab the individual. Bailey then got back into his car, chased and ran over the victim, and afterwards, fled the scene.  

Authorities charged the Jamaican goon with myriad crimes. They include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, recklessly endangering another person, and possessing an instrument of crime. Reviewing video of the assault led to a charge of attempted murder.

ICE arrested Bailey on March 16, which raises the question of why he was back on the street for ICE to arrest. Answer: Because his brother, the cop, bailed him out, ICE reported on X yesterday.

The cop “posted a cash bond Feb. 8, and the suspect was released without notification to ICE,” the agency reported:

[ICE] agents arrested him before he was remanded to the Delaware County Prison — in a sanctuary jurisdiction — March 16 when he appeared in court with his brother, who was in full uniform. Bailey will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings until the county issues a judicial writ.

Aside from that twist — a cop’s bailing out his brother after he was charged with attempted murder — Bailey’s story is typical, ICE explained.
