New Docs Shatter Leftist Claims Emil Bove Ordered Former DOJ Official To ‘Defy’ Court Orders

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senate Democrats recently released communications from a Justice Department whistleblower they claim show 3rd Circuit Court nominee Emil Bove instructed a Trump Justice Department official to defy court orders related to the administration’s deportation of Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia. New records obtained by The Federalist, however, indicate such assertations aren’t true.

On Thursday, Senate Democrats published messages from Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ attorney who was fired in April “when department leadership accused him of presenting an insufficiently vigorous argument on behalf of the Trump administration during Abrego Garcia’s court proceedings,” according to CBS News. Reuveni went public with his opposition to Bove’s nomination last month, telling lawmakers he was “threatened, fired, and publicly disparaged” by the DOJ over his handling of the matter.

In his article summarizing Reuveni’s communications, CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane wrote, “Some of the text messages from Reuveni included exchanges by Reuveni and a Justice Department colleague in which they refer to alleged instructions from Bove to communicate a ‘f*** you’ to the court’s order that Abrego Garcia and others be returned from El Salvador to U.S. custody after the March 15 deportation flights.”

Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Dick Durbin, D-Ill., similarly framed the message as an instruction from Bove to ignore any court orders the agency may disagree with on the matter. He claimed that the messages “show that the Department of Justice misled a federal court and disregarded a court order,” and that “Mr. Bove spearheaded this effort.”

Bove denied Reuveni’s allegations during his confirmation hearing last month, telling lawmakers, “I have never advised a Department of Justice attorney to violate a court order.” (Read more from “New Docs Shatter Leftist Claims Emil Bove Ordered Former DOJ Official To ‘Defy’ Court Orders” HERE)

We’ve known for years that Anthony Fauci’s agency helped fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that the COVID-19 likely came from a lab there. Thanks to the work of Daily Caller News Foundation Reporter Emily Kopp, we now know that USAID was in on the action too, in a way we never could’ve imagined. She joins Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Dylan Housman on today’s Rebelcast to break it down.

Multiple Churchgoers Gunned Down after Suspect Shoots State Trooper in Wild Rampage

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A suspect went on a shooting rampage in Kentucky on Sunday, injuring a state trooper before moving to a church and shooting four people, leaving two dead.

Lexington Police Department Chief Lawrence Weathers said the spree started just before noon when a state trooper pulled the suspect over for a license plate reader alert. The suspect opened fire, injuring the trooper. It happened on Terminal Drive just outside Blue Grass Airport, but was unrelated to the airport.

“There were some people en route to the airport, and they got out and assisted the trooper,” Weathers said. “I appreciate them for getting out and doing what they did.”

The trooper was in stable condition and receiving medical treatment, police said.

After shooting the trooper, the suspect took off and carjacked a vehicle, Weathers said. No one was hurt in the carjacking.

Police then utilized the department’s Air Support Unit and Real-Time Intelligence Center to track the suspect to Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington. (Read more from “Multiple Churchgoers Gunned Down after Suspect Shoots State Trooper in Wild Rampage” HERE)

Trump Strikes Deal With NATO To Send Weapons To Ukraine On Europe’s Dime

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his administration would sell the “best equipment” and “best missiles” to NATO for Ukraine’s defense and threatened to impose 100% “secondary tariffs” on Russia as it continues to wage war on Ukraine.

During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump said, “We’ve made a deal today where we’re going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them.”

“The United States will not be having any payment made,” he added. “We’re not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they’re going to be paying for it.”

“We have an ocean separating us,” the president continued. “We make the best stuff, but we can’t keep doing this — and Biden should’ve done this years ago.”

Dem Under Fire After Sharing Business Card of ICE Officer With Violent Protesters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Congressman Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA) is under fire for allegedly putting an ICE employee’s safety at risk by sharing their business card with a violent mob during last week’s cannabis farm raids. The reckless act led to the ICE officer being targeted and injured by rocks thrown by the hostile crowd.

According to Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE), Carbajal joined a violent mob that tried to block federal law enforcement during a raid on a California marijuana facility. While Carbajal called the protests “peaceful,” the agency argued that the protestors were throwing rocks and injuring at least one ICE officer. They also claimed that Carbajal doxed an officer by sharing his business card with the crowd. ICE warned that such actions and rhetoric have contributed to a sharp rise in attacks on officers and accused Carbajal of prioritizing violence over law and order.

Supreme Court Lets Trump Admin Move Forward With Slashing Education Department Staff

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Monday to move forward with major cuts to the Department of Education.

The majority paused a lower court order requiring the administration to reinstate nearly 1,400 employees.

In May, a Biden-appointed federal judge blocked the department’s effort to eliminate nearly half of its employees.

“Today, the Supreme Court again confirmed the obvious: the President of the United States, as the head of the Executive Branch, has the ultimate authority to make decisions about staffing levels, administrative organization, and day-to-day operations of federal agencies,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement. “While today’s ruling is a significant win for students and families, it is a shame that the highest court in the land had to step in to allow President Trump to advance the reforms Americans elected him to deliver using the authorities granted to him by the U.S. Constitution.”

Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. (Read more from “Supreme Court Lets Trump Admin Move Forward With Slashing Education Department Staff” HERE)

Donald Trump: ‘I Guarantee’ Biden Didn’t Know What He Was Signing with the Autopen

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump asserted Monday that former President Joe Biden was unaware of what his autopen signature was being used for after Biden admitted he did not individually review many of the sweeping pardons doled out at the end of his term.

Though Biden did not individually sign off on the names in the batches of categorical pardons, a New York Times report claims “he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence,” and his team ran a final list of convicts through the autopen:

Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed. Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence.

Even after Mr. Biden made that decision, one former aide said, the Bureau of Prisons kept providing additional information about specific inmates, resulting in small changes to the list. Rather than ask Mr. Biden to keep signing revised versions, his staff waited and then ran the final version through the autopen, which they saw as a routine procedure, the aide said.

Video Appears To Show Woman Plow Through Anti-ICE Protesters, Injuring 3, Police Say

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Video posted to Facebook appears to show a woman plow through anti-ICE protesters Saturday in New Jersey, injuring three, and is now facing charges, according to police.

The videos shows a gray SUV slowly approach a crowd of protesters marching against ICE raids when a one protester approaches the driver. The woman behind the wheel, Linda Roglen, then begins to proceed and the protester falls to the ground while others gather around to stop the car. Roglen then rolls up her window and drive through the crowd and leaves the scene.

Roglen has been charged with careless driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and four counts of assault with a car resulting in bodily injury, according to the New York Post. Several protesters suffered injuries and one was taken to the hospital, News 12 reported.

The protest was organized by a group called “United Against Fear,” according to the New York Post. Several witnesses described the scene, with one man saying “I don’t know what they said, but they just say something to each other and he spits in her face.” “I was scared though, honestly, like for those people. Because you never know, man. Something like that, you could die. That’s scary,” the man added.

Top Trump Officials Admit They’re Pissed At How The Epstein Story Was Handled

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Top administration officials admitted to the Daily Caller that they are upset with the way the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files was handled and explained some of the missteps made along the way.

Coming off the July 4 holiday weekend on Sunday night, Axios published a memo from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announcing that their investigation found no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein maintained a “client list” or was murdered. It was an abrupt shock to the president’s base, especially after Attorney General Pam Bondi previously acknowledged that she was reviewing a “client list” and a group of MAGA social media influencers received a “Phase 1” binder of the Epstein files.

Administration officials say they are frustrated and feel like the DOJ dropped the ball by over representing how much evidence they had to take down Epstein’s alleged child trafficking ring.

“You can arrest all the drug leaders and cartel leaders, but people want closure on this case, and the Attorney General must find a better way to reconcile that,” one official told the Caller about the public response to Sunday’s announcement.

Senior administration officials also expressed confusion to the Caller on whether the Epstein case was truly “closed” after the memo went out. One source said the memo from the DOJ read like the case was closed, but noted that there are still sealed documents in various ongoing cases.

Monumental Cleanup, Recovery Efforts Paused as Flooding Returns to Deadly Texas Rivers

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the largest, most complex rescue and recovery efforts in Texas history was put on hold Sunday as flooding returned to the Guadalupe River in Central Texas. The task of meticulously searching through and clearing the miles of debris piles that remain continues to be a heartbreaking, painstaking task.

Breitbart Texas spoke with residents and volunteers in Kerrville who were busy at work, still clearing debris and searching for the missing, in the first full week since the flood ended. In the nine days since the deadly Independence Day flood, the death toll stands at 129, with 160 people still unaccounted for. In Kerr County alone, 103 deaths have been counted so far, 36 of whom are children.

More dangers returned to Texas river basins on Sunday as torrential rains fell in the Hill Country region. More floods returned to the Guadalupe River basin, and the Lampasas River rose by 30 feet during Sunday’s rains. Recovery and cleanup efforts are set to resume on Monday.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said rescues were taking place on Sunday in San Saba, Lampasas, and Scnleicer Counties. Evacuation orders were carried out in Lampasas, Menard, Kimble, and Sutton Counties, the governor said.
