Bill Gates Held A Top Secret ‘Q’ Clearance For Seven Years – And The DOE Won’t Say Why

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates held a top-tier “Q” security clearance at the Department of Energy from 2014 to 2021 – though the DOE didn’t grant it. Another federal agency vetted him first, and the letter confirming the clearance doesn’t say which one.

The detail comes from a DOE letter entered into the Congressional record by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The letter emerged as Fauci faced fierce Republican blowback during his Senate hearing last week, where the longtime face of COVID policy pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times.

A “Q” clearance is the Energy Department’s highest classification level, the kind normally reserved for people working on nuclear weapons design, national labs, critical energy infrastructure, and highly classified scientific research. Gates kept that clearance for seven years, starting under President Obama and running through the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One explanation as to why; Gates founded and chairs TerraPower, the advanced nuclear reactor company that has spent years working alongside DOE national laboratories and won Nuclear Regulatory Commission construction approval in March. A nuclear executive holding a nuclear clearance is not, on its own, a scandal.

But the letter doesn’t mention TerraPower – or why he had it at all. What it does say is that the clearance was granted reciprocally on June 11, 2014 – meaning it originated at another federal agency, and DOE simply honored it – before terminating on December 6, 2021. The letter does not name the agency that vetted him in the first place.

Bomb Kills Three at Moscow Restaurant During Reported Russian General’s Birthday Party

An explosive device detonated Saturday evening at the Balzi Rossi, an upscale restaurant in Moscow’s Kudrinskaya Square, killing three people and injuring at least 15 others. Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee confirmed an IED was responsible, dismissing initial reports of a gas leak.

The blast occurred around 8 p.m. local time. The restaurant, located on the ground floor of one of Moscow’s iconic Stalin-era skyscrapers, had been closed for a private event. According to Russia’s Kommersant newspaper, citing law enforcement sources, an unidentified woman approached the restaurant carrying a box she described as a gift for the guests. When a security guard opened it, it exploded.

Multiple Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported the private event was a birthday celebration for Colonel General Alexander Chaiko, Commander-in-Chief of Russia’s Aerospace Forces, who was turning 55. Witnesses described numerous government vehicles with black military license plates parked outside, along with a National Guard bus. Those reports have not been officially confirmed by Russian authorities, who have not named the intended target.

Video footage from the scene showed shattered windows, debris across the entrance, and heavily armed law enforcement officers securing the perimeter as emergency crews searched the building.

The attack is the latest in a series of security failures inside Russia. In recent weeks, Ukrainian drone strikes have penetrated deep into Russian territory, including an attack that destroyed more than $2 billion in inventory at warehouses belonging to online retailer Wildberries. The Kremlin also cancelled its annual Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg citing concerns over Ukrainian drone threats.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Moscow restaurant bombing. An investigation is underway.

What is Going on with Mitch McConnell? – Several Lawmakers Weigh in on Governor Andy Beshear’s Ultimatum To McConnell

Former leader of the Republican Senate Caucus, Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has been in the hospital for almost 50 days.

He was hospitalized in mid-June, and nobody knows his current condition. Why is it taking so long to get a clear, definitive answer.

“Proof of life photos” were released over the past few weeks that allegedly show McConnell with his wife in the hospital, but many suspect that these photos are misleading.

McConnell’s current condition is still seemingly unknown.

McConnell is 84 years old and has served in the U.S. Senate since 1985.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear demanded that McConnell either address the people of Kentucky directly or resign from the Senate.

Beshear even sent a letter to President Trump about the situation.

In response to Beshear’s request, McConnell’s autograph was used on the letter, further drawing in speculation that his condition is a “cover-up” to avoid a special election for his seat.

Report: Cartel Rifles Seized in Mexican Border State Tied to U.S. Department Of State

At least four rifles seized in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas during cartel arrests are allegedly linked to the U.S. Department of State. A report by Mexico’s El Debate revealed that the rifles were part of various weapons seized during several cartel raids since late 2004.

The Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office is investigating the seizure, claiming the weapons are linked to the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service. The report does not reveal if the weapons were stolen or lost. The first seizure took place during the Biden administration in Nuevo Padilla in October 2024, the second one in November 2024. The other two seizures took place during the Trump Administration, with one in March in Ciudad Victoria and one in April in Miguel Aleman. The report did not provide additional details as to the type of weapons or the specifics of each seizure.

The report by El Debate comes at a time when Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has been trying to blame the United States government for not doing enough to stop the flow of weapons south. As Breitbart Texas has reported, Sheinbaum has been hiding behind a nationalistic rhetoric in an attempt to deal with the pressure from the Trump Administration to fight drug cartels.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the criminal indictment of Sinaloa Governor Ruben Rocha Moya and nine of his closest allies on federal drug trafficking and weapons charges for allegedly working for the Sinaloa Cartel. Rather than help with the arrest and extradition of the individuals, Sheinbaum has publicly defended Rocha Moya, who is from the same political party by claiming that there is no evidence of wrongdoing and that the U.S. government is trying to damage her political party, MORENA. As Breitbart Texas reported, Sheinbaum’s response has triggered international tensions with key members of the U.S. government, while U.S. President Donald J. Trump has publicly stated that Mexico is controlled by cartels.

Tensions have continued to escalate this year as the U.S. Department of State has revoked the visas of several MORENA politicians, including at least three sitting governors, several mayors and various other federal officials, Breitbart Texas has reported.

Mom warns ‘truth will come out’ after daughter, 18, shot dead in congresswoman’s husband’s house

A grieving mother warned that the ‘truth will come out’ after her 18–year–old daughter was found dead inside a Democratic congresswoman’s husband’s seven figure house.

Yoseliani Marte, 18, was found dead by police from a single gunshot wound around 2pm on Saturday at a $1.15 million Boston property owned by progressive Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s spouse, Conan Harris. Pressley and Harris do not live at the house.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Marte had died from a single gunshot wound, though her manner of death is still being investigated, according to Boston25News.

Marte’s mother, Elenie Ocasio, has insisted that her daughter was not suicidal and instead claimed that she was ‘murdered.’

‘My daughter did not deserve this, and it’s all going to come out to light,’ she told the outlet. ‘Everything’s gonna come out.’

As of Thursday, Boston authorities had not announced any arrests or charges in connection to Marte’s death.

Marte was living at home in Dorchester, the largest neighborhood in Boston, but visiting a boyfriend on the day she died, her family told WCVB.

Ocasio said that she was still in ‘shock’ at her daughter’s death inside the eight–bedroom, four–bathroom house in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood.

Rep. Ayanna Presley Asked About Dead Body Found at Husband’s House

Far left Rep. Ayanna Pressley responded on Wednesday to the dead body found at her husband’s house last week, providing few details except that they “didn’t know” the victim. 

Instead, she touted her work advocating for “survivors of all crimes.”

“I’m just really centering the victim right now, and that’s what we all should be doing,” she said.

A Fox News reporter confronted Pressley, asking her for a reaction to the news on Wednesday.

“Well, you know, as the mother to an 18-year-old daughter, right now excitedly planning to take her to college for her freshman year, my heart is very heavy,” she responded.

“I’m devastated for the impacted family. This young girl who we didn’t know, 18 years old, sure had her own plans and dreams that have all been cut short.”

Pressley continued, “And as someone who has done the work, advocated, you know, for accountability and healing for survivors of all crimes, yeah, my heart is heavy. And I’m just really centering the victim right now, and that’s what we all should be doing.”

Pressley then walked away, refusing to answer whether she knew any further details.

He previously served ten years in prison for drug trafficking charges.

Details about the cause of death or any potential suspects have not been made public at the time of publishing.

Kentucky governor says he received 2 calls from agencies indicating McConnell had ‘passed’

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.

In an interview with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies called him with the news or when the calls were made.

“In fact, I’d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he’d passed,” said Beshear, who has served as governor since December 2019.

Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell’s offices for comment.

After nearly a month of being hospitalized, McConnell’s office released a lengthy statement July 12 saying he was being treated for a June fall. A picture of him in a hospital bed alongside his wife was also released.

Prior to the announcement, there was speculation about what had happened to McConnell, given that his office did not reveal why he was in the hospital for weeks.

Emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day McConnell was hospitalized, revealed he was “unconscious” and may have suffered a heart attack.

Chilling new clues missed by cops challenge suicide theory on missing scientist found dead in woods

Shocking new evidence has been found at the site where a missing nuclear lab assistant was found dead, raising serious concerns about the state of the investigation.

A lawyer for the family of Melissa Casias, who vanished in June 2025 and was found dead 11 months later, told the Daily Mail several red flags involving law enforcement led the woman’s loved ones to start their own search for answers – with stunning results.

David Adams of Parnall and Adams Law revealed that a trove of evidence was discovered nearly a month after New Mexico State Police had officially declared the crime scene clear and removed Casias’s skeletal remains for medical examination.

That independent search of New Mexico’s Carson National Forest in late June uncovered bones, torn and bloody clothing, orange peels and strands of hair that were not collected by police when the 53-year-old’s body was found on May 28.

The lawyer also revealed that the family strongly believed Casias did not commit suicide and had no reason to disappear.

Adams explained: ‘There seemed to be a separate narrative taking place that somehow she wanted to be missing and that she had other places that she would be.’

Although the origins of the hair found at the scene have not been determined yet, the attorney noted that it appeared to be horse hair and theorized that the body of Casias may have been taken to this location by an unknown suspect.

‘In my mind, when you see that, you kind of go, okay, well, I could see that you would need a horse to get her up there if you were moving a body, for instance, because how you would otherwise do that,’ Adams said.

The Casias family and volunteers from the group 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue also unearthed shredded paper, which relatives believe has Casias’s handwriting on it and what appears to be a tobacco pouch. Casias reportedly did not use tobacco.

Adams said: ‘The family really wasn’t expecting to find any additional information, other than to just kind of finally have an idea of where her last resting grounds were, so they could kind of go pay their own respects, and it certainly turned out to be something much, much more.’ 

The shocking crime scene find has turned the case on its head, with Adams claiming investigators in New Mexico have seriously damaged their credibility if it is found that Casias was the victim of foul play and a suspect is brought to trial.

‘There becomes a question of a chain of custody… Could law enforcement have spat a tobacco pouch in the crime scene? I mean, certainly possible. I mean, that would be an example of just poor training,’ Adams explained.

‘If somebody actually did do that, I mean, it defeats every best practice regarding the crime scene and protecting the integrity of a crime scene.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to the New Mexico State Police for comment regarding the situation. A spokesperson said the matter was being brought to investigators for further response.

Adams, who is a former federal prosecutor, said his firm was hired by Casias’s parents and siblings after multiple red flags were raised by legal observers looking at the case who suspected foul play.

‘There [were] enough phone calls coming in, where people were providing information that they thought was relevant based upon how they knew Melissa, and observations that they have made regarding it, and a lot of it has come to be information that I would undoubtedly dive deep into investigating,’ he revealed.
