Trump Team Drops Email Proving FBI Wrongly Seized Passports After Media, DOJ Attempted to Mislead Public; Trump ‘Will Do Whatever’ He Can to ‘Help the Country’ After FBI Raid

By Breitbart. Donald Trump’s legal team demolished the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) media spin that denied having the former president’s passports in their possession following the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago last week.

On Monday, former President Trump claimed on his social media site TruthSocial that the FBI “stole” his passports during the raid that shook the political world last week.

“In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” he said. “This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”

As Breitbart News noted, the passports were “not independently itemized on the FBI’s property receipt of the 28 inventory items federal agents seized.”

“The warrant, which Attorney General Merrick Garland says he approved and was signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, did not state that they could take Trump’s passport,” the report noted. “Typically, the government needs a separate court order to seize someone’s passport, even temporarily.” (Read more from “Trump Team Drops Email Proving FBI Wrongly Seized Passports After Media, DOJ Attempted to Mislead Public” HERE)

Trump ‘Will Do Whatever’ He Can to ‘Help the Country’ After FBI Raid: ‘Temperature Has to Be Brought Down’

By Fox News. Former President Trump said he “will do whatever” he can “to help the country” after the FBI’s raid of his Mar-a-Lago home last week, telling Fox News Digital that the “temperature has to be brought down” while stressing that the American people are “not going to stand for another scam.”

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump said he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to offer to help amid outrage over the FBI’s unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.

“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said.

“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” Trump said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Will Do Whatever’ He Can to ‘Help the Country’ After FBI Raid: ‘Temperature Has to Be Brought Down’” HERE)

Rigged by Hillary? Trump Raid Pulled Off by ‘Russiagate’ FBI Agents

Paul Sperry is a former Washington bureau chief for Investor’s Business Daily, a Hoover Institute media fellow and has written multiple books including the best-selling “Infiltration.”

Now he’s reporting on GETTR that Hillary Clinton acolytes worked secretly with the Department of Justice on the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

Further, they launched their attack on the possible 2024 GOP candidate for president based on his alleged possession of the type of records other president have taken home with them, and over which they have faced no investigation whatsoever.

Sperry points out that David Laufman, “recycled bad guy of Russiagate,” is claiming that “evidence” seized “validates” the government’s search.

However, “One Senate investigator told RealClearInvestigations that Laufman, then Justice’s top counterintelligence official, was the ‘mastermind’ behind the strategy to dust off and ‘weaponize’ FARA against Trump campaign officials,” creating the Russiagate disaster, the reporting explained.

Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms

A federal district court ruled last week that the Biden Department of Justice must hand over documents related to Biden’s executive order federalizing elections before the 2022 midterms and not after.

As a lawsuit filed by the Foundation for Government Accountability details, the DOJ sought to release the documents in 2023, because any time before that would “put an undue strain on agency resources.” The court sternly disagreed with the DOJ’s timeline and ordered it to provide all the documents requested by the Foundation for Government Accountability before the midterm elections, a major blow to the Biden administration.

As The Federalist has reported, Biden’s executive order directs all 600 federal agencies to focus on increasing voter registration and turnout. Multiple agencies subsequently decided to turn federal facilities — especially those that deal with federal benefits — into voter registration agencies. The agencies are also allowed to work with left-wing get-out-the-vote groups. (Read more from “Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms” HERE)

Is the DOJ Preparing to Formally Charge Hunter Biden?

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering if tax and gun-related charges will be brought against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in connection to a federal investigation into his business dealings.

The investigation into Hunter Biden, led by U.S. District Attorney David Weiss, has “intensified” recently as officials discuss moving forward in a politically delicate case as the midterms loom, sources told CNN.

The DOJ initially investigated Hunter Biden for possible financial crimes, including money laundering and campaign finance laws, while Joe Biden was vice president, CNN noted. But the DOJ has reportedly limited its scope to focus solely on allegations the president’s son committed tax and gun-related crimes.

DOJ Will Appeal Ruling Nixing Mask Mandates

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday evening the Biden administration will appeal Monday’s ruling by a federal judge in Florida striking down mask mandates for travel.

“The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health. The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve,” DOJ released in a statement. “On April 13, 2022, before the district court’s decision, CDC explained that the order would remain in effect while it assessed current public health conditions, and that the Transportation Security Administration would extend its directive implementing the order until May 3 to facilitate CDC’s assessment.”

DOJ Announces It’s Suing Critical GOP State Over New Congressional Map

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday the Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the state of Texas over its new congressional districts.

Garland announced the lawsuit at a press conference, alleging that Texas officials are violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by lumping too many black and Latino voters into too few districts to dilute their votes. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said the new redistricting plan will diminish increased minority voting strength caused by recent population shifts.

“Today the Department of Justice has filed suit against the state of Texas for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,” Garland said. “As the Supreme Court has observed, a core principal of our democracy is that ‘voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.’” (Read more from “DOJ Announces It’s Suing Critical GOP State Over New Congressional Map” HERE)

WH Defends DOJ Using FBI in School Board Protests

The White House defended the Justice Department from complaints it was being politicized after Attorney General Merrick Garland escalated his federal agency’s response to threats against public school officials and teachers.

Threats of violence against public servants are illegal, which includes public school board members and educators, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Republican lawmakers have expressed concern the department would target parents who are concerned about public schools’ policies.

Psaki said President Joe Biden supported the parents’ right to protest.

“He doesn’t stand for the fundamental right — I assume you don’t either — for people to take violent action against public servants. And that’s what the threats are about,” she told reporters.

School board meetings nationwide have become increasingly confrontational as officials and parents clash over how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, particularly over mask or vaccine mandates for students and staff. There are also becoming heated over the perceived importance placed on critical race theory in curricula. Some parents are concerned the theory indoctrinates children into thinking the United States is an inherently racist society.

17 Vaccines Mandated by the US Military Before COVID-19 Shots

The Department of Defense has announced plans to add the coronavirus vaccine to the list of mandated vaccines.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that he will seek the president’s approval to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine by mid-September if the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t approve it before then. This will mark the 18th vaccine to be mandated for the armed forces, though it’s unlikely that a service member would receive all of them because many are location-specific, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday.

The Defense Department’s vaccine mandates are separated by the combatant commands that divide the globe into seven entities: Africa Command, Central Command, European Command, Indo-Pacific Command, Northern Command, Northern Command, and Space Command.

There are nine vaccines that are mandated for military members in any of the six earthbound commands: chickenpox, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, MMR, pneumococcal, rabies, Tdap, typhoid, polio, and influenza, according to the Military Health System.

Other vaccines that are required for some commands but not all include anthrax, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis. (Read more from “17 Vaccines Mandated by the US Military Before COVID-19 Shots” HERE)

DOJ Uses Scare Quotes to Threaten State Election Integrity Efforts

Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is using scare quotes in a new guidance that it has issued to threaten state election integrity efforts.

The guidance repeatedly refers to post-election “audits,” using the quotes to suggest that’s not what they really are.

And it lists a number of examples of illegal activities – although it does not connect those with the Arizona election audit that has been going on for some months already, or the other states that are considering them.

The recounts and reviews of election results from the 2020 presidential race were triggered by evidence that suggested fraud or manipulation. Multiple legacy media outlet fact-checkers have said there was absolutely no inappropriate behavior in the election.

But it’s not even contested that there were outside influences, that leftist Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook handed over some $350 million to mostly leftist elections officials to help them “run” the 2020 count. Further, multiple state officials arbitrarily changed state voting laws and procedures to accommodate COVID conditions, even though the Constitution limits those who can make those changes to state lawmakers.

Rumors of U.S. Secretly Harboring Top China Official Swirl; Pushing Against China, U.S. Lawmakers Plan Pro-Taiwan Bill

By The Daily Beast. Chinese-language anti-communist media and Twitter are abuzz this week with rumors that a vice minister of State Security, Dong Jingwei defected in mid-February, flying from Hong Kong to the United States with his daughter, Dong Yang.

Dong Jingwei supposedly gave the U.S. information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology that changed the stance of the Biden administration concerning the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dong is, or was, a longtime official in China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), also known as the Guoanbu. His publicly available background indicates that he was responsible for the Ministry’s counterintelligence efforts in China, i.e., spy-catching, since being promoted to vice minister in April 2018. If the stories are true, Dong would be the highest-level defector in the history of the People’s Republic of China.

Dong’s defection was raised by Chinese officials last March at the Sino-American summit in Alaska, according to Dr. Han Lianchao, a former Chinese foreign ministry official before defecting after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. In a Wednesday tweet, Han, citing an unnamed source, alleged that China’s foreign minister Wang Yi and Communist Party foreign affairs boss Yang Jiechi demanded that the Americans return Dong, and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused.

Pushing Against China, U.S. Lawmakers Plan Pro-Taiwan Bill

By Reuters. Democratic and Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives will introduce legislation this week seeking to boost U.S. support for Taiwan, part of an effort in Congress to take a hard line in dealings with China.

Representatives Ami Bera and Steve Chabot, the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Asia subcommittee, will introduce the “Taiwan Peace and Stability Act,” a measure “to support the diplomatic, economic and physical space” of the self-governing island.

“Hopefully we’re able to pass something in a bipartisan way on the House floor,” Bera said in a telephone interview. “I think this is an area where we can hopefully speak with one voice.”

Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry expressed thanks for the show of support, and said it would pay close attention to the bill’s progress. (Read more from “Pushing Against China, U.S. Lawmakers Plan Pro-Taiwan Bill” HERE)
