‘Bio-Attack’: Vials of Blood Addressed to Donald Trump Delivered to RNC

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

By Breitbart. Vials of blood in a package addressed to former President Donald Trump were sent to the Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters, sending the office into lockdown for what Chairman Michael Whatley called a “biological attack.”

A hazmat team was called, and staff were forced to evacuate the Washington, DC, headquarters on Wednesday morning after two vials containing blood from an unknown source were delivered, the New York Post reported.

“Today, vials of blood were sent to RNC Headquarters in DC. We are thankful to law enforcement, who responded quickly and ensured everyone’s safety,” Whatley said in a statement after the building was deemed safe.

“The lockdown has been cleared and staff has resumed their office duties because we remain unintimidated and undeterred in our efforts to elect President Trump to the White House,” he continued.

“This revolting attack comes on the heels of pro-Hamas protestors violently demonstrating on college campuses and deranged Biden supporters physically attacking our campaign volunteers for supporting President Trump,” the GOP leader added.

Republican National Committee’s Headquarters Evacuated After Vials of Blood Are Addressed to Trump

By AP News. The Republican National Committee’s Washington headquarters was briefly evacuated on Wednesday as police investigated two vials of blood that had been addressed to former President Donald Trump following the presumptive presidential nominee’s takeover of the national party apparatus. . .

In a statement posted to its official social media accounts, the Secret Service described the package as “addressed to a Secret Service protectee” and “non-hazardous,” adding that the situation would be investigated by its Washington field office. . .
Earlier Wednesday, the Capitol Police issued a statement advising people to avoid the block where the RNC is located, a short walk southeast of the Capitol. The House sergeant at arms, the U.S. House of Representatives’ chief law enforcement and protocol officer, sent out information advising traffic restrictions in the area “due to law enforcement activity at the RNC.” (Read more from “Republican National Committee’s Headquarters Evacuated After Vials of Blood Are Addressed to Trump” HERE)

Trump’s Most Iconic Campaign Tool Is Nowhere to Be Seen as He Languishes in NY Courtroom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hitting the campaign trail for the first time during his New York criminal trial, former President Donald Trump told a group of his supporters on April 16 that the courtroom was affecting his ability to see the people.

“They want to keep me off the campaign trail, but based on what I am doing, I think there is more press here than if I went to a nice location,” Trump said.

Trump has hosted just a fraction of his famous campaign rallies during 2024 that he did in 2016, an analysis by the Daily Caller found. In 2016, from Jan. 1 to May 7, Trump held 132 rallies across 43 states. During the same date range in 2024, the former president has held just 24 rallies in 11 states.

Since April 15, when Trump’s court case in Manhattan began, only allowing him Wednesdays and weekends free, the former president has held just three rallies. Through the same time period in 2016, Trump conducted 28 rallies.

The former president was granted May 17 off from court, but he instead used the day to attend his son’s high school graduation. (Read more from “Trump’s Most Iconic Campaign Tool Is Nowhere to Be Seen as He Languishes in NY Courtroom” HERE)

FBI Was Authorized to Use ‘Deadly Force’ in Mar-a-Lago Raid

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On August 8, 2022, former and potentially future President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence faced an unannounced FBI raid in a search for classified documents. Trump was not there at the time. Close to two years after the raid, and less than six month away from the 2024 presidential election, we know now that the FBI was authorized to use “deadly force.”

Coverage from The New York Post cites court documents unsealed on Tuesday in a motion to dismiss and suppress from Trump’s attorneys in the case of United States v. Trump. As the report mentioned:

The Department of Justice authorized “the use of deadly force” when FBI agents swarmed former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 looking for classified documents, according to court filings Tuesday.

…

The authorities also were told to conceal their “law enforcement equipment” and come armed with “ammo,” “handcuffs” and “medium and large sized bolt cutters,” notes the filing by lawyers for the former president.

According to the lawyers, Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise, the nearly 10-hour “unconstitutional” search swept through the Palm Beach estate’s gym and kitchen, as well as the bedroom suite of former first lady Melania Trump and the bedroom of the couple’s teenage son Barron Trump.

…

Deputy Assistant Attorney General George Toscas, in a phone call in the days leading up to the raid, allegedly said he “frankly [didn’t] give a damn about the optics” of the recovery operation.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has said he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant.”

Evidence in the court filing reveals an earlier back-and-forth between Trump’s lawyer and a prosecutor working for special counsel Jack Smith over retrieving the documents.

‘Never Seen Such a Spectacle’: Alan Dershowitz Was ‘Shocked’ by What He Saw at Trump Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Attorney and Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz was present for former and potentially future President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York City on Monday, which is when the prosecution rested its case. He teased over X on Monday how “the case looks even weaker” after what happened. Although he experienced technical difficulties for the show he planned to do that night, he appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” and wrote a Substack piece about his experience.

A rather notable moment discussed at length about the trial has been how former Trump attorney and convicted perjurer, Michael Cohen, is supposedly the prosecution’s star witness Plenty of details that don’t exact help the prosecution’s case have been revealed during the defense’s cross-examination, such as how Cohen admitted to stealing from Trump.

There’s also how biased Acting New York County Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan has been in the case, given how his adult daughter has an interest. Dershowitz addresses Merchan further, though, and that includes insight on how he flipped out on Robert Costello, the defense’s witness.

During his appearance on “Hannity,” Dershowitz was rather animated as he shared his take from inside the courtroom that day, including how he was somehow allowed to remain when Merchan was letting Costello have it.

As Hannity clarified, Merchan was castigating Costello for rolling his eyes, as the Fox News host then pointed out “I’m my rolling my eyes just hearing about what’s going on in that courtroom!” Dershowitz then confirmed to Hannity he’s never seen anything like this in the years he’s practiced law.

Congress Wants Report on Judge’s Role in Weaponizing Courts Against Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

It apparently is not just bureaucrats, functionaries and prosecutors involved in the weaponization of the government against President Donald Trump.

That agenda has been obvious in recent months as multiple state and federal cases have been launched against him, sometimes as in the “hush money” case on trial in New York now the allegations are based on facts that multiple prosecutors earlier said did not make a case. . .

Reps. Jim Jordan and Elise Stefanik confirmed Tuesday they are investigating the dismissal of Stefanik’s misconduct complaint against Washington, D.C., federal judge Beryl Howell.

The focus in Howell’s potentially prejudicial statements about Trump’s criminal case involving the 2020 election.

The members of Congress have written Sri Srinivasan, the chief judge of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting a report on how that concern, essentially, was torpedoed. (Read more from “Congress Wants Report on Judge’s Role in Weaponizing Courts Against Trump” HERE)

Poll Reveals Which Vice President Pick Most Helps Trump With Voters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent poll found that voters say they would be more likely to support former President Donald Trump if Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is on the ticket in 2024.

Scott leads the field of possible vice presidential contenders, including former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York and former independent Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, according to a recent Harvard-Harris Poll. Scott drew 25% among voters who said they were more likely to vote for Trump if he was on the ballot, followed by 23% for Ramaswamy and 22% for Rubio.

Stefanik polled the lowest across all voters with only 13% reporting they would likely vote for a Trump-Stefanik ticket, while Gabbard received 19% support. Also mentioned as possible picks to be Trump’s running mate includes Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, who received 16% support of those surveyed, and Republican Gov. Doug Burgum was favored by 15% of those polled.

Trump previously named Scott as a potential vice presidential pick on a Fox News town hall in February. Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida have also been mentioned as possible selections, but their possible candidacies were not surveyed in this portion of the poll.

‘Sleeping on a Car Smoking Crack’: Prosecutors Cite Texts Showing Hunter Biden Allegedly Lied on Gun Form

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors revealed on Monday night evidence they intend to introduce to prove their claim that Hunter Biden lied about his drug usage on a federal gun purchase form in 2018, including 75 pages of text messages highlighting his struggle with addiction.

Ahead of the trial scheduled for June 3 in Wilmington, Delaware, prosecutors told the judge evidence they intend to introduce and witnesses they plan to call, including multiple women with whom he had relationships. Text messages included with the filing show arguments about him getting sober, discussion of drug use and photos of drugs or him smoking crack.

“I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th street and Rodney,” Hunter Biden wrote in one October 14, 2018 message.

The day before, October 13, 2018, he wrote he was “off MD Av behind blue rocks stadium waiting for a dealer.”

Though unnamed in prosecutors’ filing, descriptions make it clear witnesses include Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau Biden, and Kathleen Buhle, his ex-wife.

Judge Explodes at Trump Witness During Trial: ‘Clear the Courtroom!’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New York Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump’s business records trial, exploded at a witness over his behavior on Monday and called for the courtroom to be cleared.

Robert Costello, the former lawyer for Michael Cohen, was called to the witness stand by Trump’s defense team and repeatedly became frustrated due to Merchan sustaining several objections from prosecutors, according to Newsweek.

After Merchan had sustained several objections, Costello reportedly was reprimanded, to which he exclaimed, “ridiculous” and “jeez,” under his breath.

Costello reportedly began blowing “raspberries” after several more objections were sustained, according to the outlet.

Prior to Merchan calling for the courtroom to be cleared, he reportedly instructed Costello that he should not say “jeez” in the courtroom or call for it to be struck. (Read more from “Judge Explodes at Trump Witness During Trial: ‘Clear the Courtroom!’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Biden Team Makes Pathetic Attempt at Trolling Trump, Claims He Froze During Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

You get the sense that the brain trust—if one can call it that—over at the Biden campaign is starting to panic as his reelection looks to be increasingly in peril. His poll numbers are terrible against his opponent Donald Trump, and virtually every public appearance is marked by lies, slurred speech and aimless wandering.

You could really feel their desperation in their attempt to claim that it was actually Trump who slurs and freezes during speeches. The team posted a video Sunday of the former president and presumptive GOP nominee speaking at the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Saturday. In the post, the Biden/Harris HQ Twitter account wrote that “Trump starts playing QAnon music during his bizarre slur-filled NRA speech.” . . .

Trump does take a long pause as the music swells, but it certainly looks nothing like a “freeze.” He doesn’t appear to be confused, or looking for words, or unsure what to do next. This by the way occurred after he’d already been speaking for an hour. In other words, the Biden team’s take is completely disingenuous. . .

Meanwhile, a post from a site called Biden’s Wins, who tout themselves as “The largest online community of President Biden’s supporters,” reposted the video and wrote, “BREAKING: Donald Trump just glitched out and froze at his rally tonight. He is clearly unfit for office. Retweet so every American knows Trump is senile.”

Trump didn’t take long to respond, pointing out in a Truth Social post that it’s actually Biden who “freezes all the time, can’t put two sentences together, and can rarely find his way off the stage without help.” This, to me, seems a more effective line of attack than Biden’s because we’ve all seen exactly what Trump is talking about.

Michael Cohen’s Ex-Attorney Contradicts Trump ‘Fixer’s’ Testimony, Gets Ripped by Judge in Fiery Scene at Hush Money Trial

/1 Comment/in , /by

An attorney who once represented Michael Cohen testified Monday that Donald Trump’s fixer-turned-foe had told him the ex-president “knew nothing” about the hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels — moments before irking the judge by rolling his eyes and muttering on the stand.

Robert “Bob” Costello, the second witness called by Trump’s lawyers at his Manhattan criminal trial, contradicted previous testimony by Cohen that the real estate mogul was aware of the deal to pay Daniels $130,000 to silence her story about having a tryst with him.

“Michael Cohen said numerous times that President Trump knew nothing about those payments, that he did this on his own, and he repeated that numerous times,” claimed Costello, a Trump ally who last week bashed the prosecution’s case in front of Congress.

Cohen also whined to him that “I don’t understand why they’re trying to put me in jail” over nondisclosure agreements, such as the one struck with Daniels, Costello, a former federal prosecutor in New York, added from the stand.

Tensions flared minutes later after Costello grew visibly peeved — muttering under his breath — after Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan sustained several objections from prosecutors to his testimony.
