“DOUBLE DIPPING?” — Jim Jordan Demands Answers After Explosive Claim January 6 “Human Sources” May Have Been Paid by BOTH Biden DOJ and SPLC

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan just dropped another political bombshell tied to January 6.

During a fiery interview Thursday, Jordan revealed that congressional investigators are now probing whether confidential human sources operating around January 6 may have been receiving money not only from the Biden Justice Department, but also from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center.

In other words: federally connected informants potentially “double dipping” while infiltrating groups tied to January 6.

Jordan made the remarks while discussing a new subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee as Republicans intensify their investigation into the SPLC and its alleged network of paid “field sources.”

Rep. Jordan: “Here’s a key question I have too. Were any of the guys they were paying— was the Biden Justice Department paying these same guys confidential human sources? We know 26 confidential human sources were at the Capitol on January 6th. 4 went in the Capitol. They weren’t authorized to do so. I want to know if any of these guys were double dipping and taking money from the government and from the Southern Poverty Law Center. That’s one of the things we want to find out. That would be another new chapter if true and if proven.”

Trump Details White House Construction Beyond a Ballroom: Military Hospital, Research Facilities

President Donald Trump’s White House construction goes beyond a ballroom, the commander-in-chief told reporters on Tuesday as he stood outside the construction site detailing the complexities of the massive addition.

“You might want to take a look at the complexity,” Trump said as he gestured toward the construction site on the premises. He explained that the ballroom is only part of the story. In fact, he described the ballroom itself as a “shield” of sorts, protecting all of the space currently being built underneath. That includes a military hospital, meeting rooms, and much more.

“These are all different rooms out here,” Trump said. “They’re building a hospital. They’re building a military hospital. They’re building all sorts of research facilities — also meeting rooms and rooms that go hand in hand for the military, using the ballroom, and the ballroom is really a shield and protecting all of the things that are built here.”

Trump explained that the construction already goes “very deep” — six stories deep.

“This is down because we’ve already done these floors, but these are already down two floors. That is down about six stories deep. That’s fixed up normally,” he said, walking through other features and complexities of this design.

“It’s all knit together between the drone proofing [and] the missile proofing. We have had the drone capacity upstairs. We can have all sorts of military up, whether — I hate to use the word snipers, but we have great sniper capacity,” the president said, revealing that it is “built for our snipers, not the enemy snipers.”

“And because of the height, we get a very clear view of everything all over Washington,” Trump said.

Trump’s brief tour followed the Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough determining that a plan drafted by Republican lawmakers to provide $1 billion in funding for the White House ballroom project did not follow the rules, although Republicans say they have a fix underway.

Pirro Responds to Violent Brawl at DC Chipotle

US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro on Monday responded to the violent brawl at a Chipotle in DC.

All hell broke loose at the DC Navy Yard Chipotle restaurant this weekend after a group of ‘youths’ got into a violent brawl.

A group of terrified patrons, including children, was pushed to the corner of the restaurant as the teen thugs threw chairs at each other.

It is unclear what caused the brawl.

Last week, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro announced her office will be charging parents of ‘youths’ who violate curfew amid a disturbing trend of ‘teen takeovers.

Mobs of teens are rampaging through the streets of DC and other cities across the country, terrifying residents and causing major damage.

Pirro says she’s going after the parents.

On Monday, Pirro held a press conference and responded to the violent Chipotle brawl.

“It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt they could get away with it. Well, they’re not going to get away with it,” Pirro warned.

“The message that lawlessness runs the streets is over,” Pirro said.

“The city belongs to law-abiding residents, not roaming mobs looking to make a name for themselves, contribute to the chaos and violence, or gain social media attention,” she said.

“These are not kids being kids,” Pirro added.

President Trump Announces Massive $1.7 Billion “Weaponization” Fund for Americans Targeted by Biden DOJ, Including J6ers

President Trump is set to launch a massive $1.7 billion compensation fund aimed at helping Americans who were targeted by the Biden Regime’s weaponized Department of Justice.

According to a report from ABC News, the fund would compensate individuals who were politically targeted during the Biden years, including many January 6 defendants, conservative activists, and other Trump allies caught in what critics have called one of the largest political persecutions in modern American history.

The move is already sending shockwaves through Washington.

For years, conservatives have argued that the Biden DOJ operated with a two-tiered justice system, aggressively prosecuting Trump supporters while ignoring violent left-wing extremism and politically connected insiders. Many January 6 defendants spent months or even years tied up in court battles, facing prison sentences, financial ruin, public humiliation, and permanent damage to their reputations.

Trump allies say the new compensation fund is about restoring justice and acknowledging the suffering many Americans endured during the Biden administration.

Armed suspect who allegedly shot at Secret Service officers near White House identified as Texas man

Fox News has learned the name of the suspect shot by U.S. Secret Service officers near the White House this week. 

Michael Marx, a 45-year-old Texan, has been identified as the individual seen allegedly carrying a firearm just blocks from the White House on Monday, sources told Fox News on Tuesday.

Secret Service Uniformed Division officers engaged the suspect after he was observed pulling a gun, a federal source previously told Fox News Digital. 

In a news conference, Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn told reporters that the suspect allegedly shot in the direction of officers after they tried to confront him near 15th Street and Independence Avenue, causing the agents to return fire.

A juvenile suspect was also struck by the suspect and sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Quinn said. 

Quinn said the confrontation began after trained surveillance personnel spotted a “visual print” of a weapon.

“My understanding is they observed a print,” Quinn said. “These are trained surveillance detection personnel out there looking every day to look for just that… and they observed a visual print of a firearm.”

Top D.C. Police Officials Face Firing Amid Probe Into Alleged Crime Data Cover-Up

Multiple senior officials in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department are facing termination or discipline as investigations into alleged manipulation of crime statistics intensify.

According to multiple law enforcement sources who spoke with The Washington Post, several high-ranking officers, including two assistant chiefs, have received or are expected to receive disciplinary notices tied to an internal affairs probe into crime data practices.

Assistant Chief LaShay Makal and Second District Commander Tatjana Savoy have been placed on administrative leave.

Both have been linked to the crime statistics investigation, where officials are alleged to have lied or manipulated the city’s crime statistics.

Former Third District Commander Michael Pulliam is also under review.

He was placed on leave in 2025 after allegations that crime classifications in his district were altered. Pulliam has denied wrongdoing but remains subject to possible discipline.

Assistant Chief Andre Wright is facing a separate investigation after allegedly inappropriate text messages were found on his phone. He had already been placed on administrative leave.

The internal probe is focused on whether department supervisors downgraded serious crimes to less severe categories, potentially making crime rates appear lower than they were.

Kari Lake, Ajit Pai, and Other Attendees Expose Shockingly Relaxed Security at White House Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘No Bag Check. No Real Screening. Just Waved Through.’

A growing number of high-profile White House Correspondents’ Dinner attendees are now exposing that they experienced embarrassingly relaxed security at the event.

Guests, including Kari Lake, have noted that basic identification, ticket inspection, and screening measures were skipped or minimized at an event attended by the President, his top officials, and hundreds of media figures.

In a post shortly after the shooting, Lake wrote:

I can’t believe how lax the security was at the White House correspondents dinner tonight. Upon entering nobody asked to visibly INSPECT my ticket nor asked for my photo identification. All one had to do was flash what appeared to be a ticket and they were fine with that.

When you consider you are entering a roomful of fake news media —90% of whom hate the President you would think they would have better security. This is what happened when what sounded like gunfire erupted.

On the way out, I called-out a bunch of the disgusting Media who have been pushing hatred toward President Trump for years. They are a big part of the discord in this country.

Lake included video from inside the ballroom showing guests ducking for cover as security rushed in, along with photos from the chaotic scene.

Her account matches what other attendees reported: minimal checks, no visible ID verification, and a “flash your ticket and walk” system.

Conservative influencer and attendee Mads Campbell went even further in a now-viral thread that has been viewed over 1 million times.

Campbell wrote that she and her best friend left early because “something felt off” from the moment they arrived.

All of them tonight acted so quickly that they prevented what could have been a horrific event where we were all sitting there in one room.”
