Trump Says He ‘Would Absolutely’ Rehire Former Aide Imprisoned by Biden’s DOJ

Former President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that he “would absolutely” hire back a former aide whom President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) jailed.

A judge sentenced 74-year-old Peter Navarro to federal prison for four months after he defied a Jan. 6 congressional subpoena and Congress held him in contempt. Despite the sentencing, Trump told The WSJ that he would rehire Navarro should he return to the White House, to which Navarro said he wasn’t looking for work but would return “if the boss needs me.”

“I would absolutely have Peter back. This outrageous behavior by the Democrats should not have happened,” the former president told The WSJ.

Navarro added that he wasn’t interested in a pardon from Trump if he returns to the White House, but he wouldn’t change a thing about what he did.

“I have no regrets,” Navarro, who is two months into his sentencing, told the outlet. “I didn’t choose this fight; this fight chose me.” (Read more from “Trump Says He ‘Would Absolutely’ Rehire Former Aide Imprisoned by Biden’s DOJ” HERE)

Jack Smith Requests Gag Order on Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith requested a gag order Friday against former President Donald Trump regarding his case involving the alleged mishandling of classified documents, according to a court filing.

Smith filed the request Friday evening asking presiding Judge Aileen Cannon to modify Trump’s “conditions of release,” seeking that it makes clear “he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.”

“The law enforcement agents participating in this case conducted the search in an appropriate and professional manner, subject to the Department of Justice’s standard use-of-force policy. Trump’s repeated mischaracterization of these facts in widely distributed messages as an attempt to kill him, his family, and Secret Service agents has endangered law enforcement officers involved in the investigation and prosecution of this case and threatened the integrity of these proceedings,” the filing stated.

“A restriction prohibiting future similar statements does not restrict legitimate speech. Trump’s conditions of release should therefore be modified to prohibit similar communications going forward.”

Smith’s request comes swiftly after court documents were released regarding the language used within the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) authorization of their raid at Mar-A-Lago in August 2022, according to Fox News. As part of the special counsel’s investigation, the federal agency’s “Operations Order” was produced within the released filing, showing that the FBI “believed its objective for the Mar-a-Lago raid was to seize ‘classified information, NDI, and US Government records,’” court documents stated.

Joe Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Election

President Joe Biden has finally said what millions of Americans are thinking: that former President Donald Trump will win the 2024 election.

“We cannot win this reelection.. we can only reelect Donald Trump!” Biden said while speaking to a group of rallygoers in Missouri.

Recent polls show that Trump leads Biden in key battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Trump holds 48 percent of the vote in these crucial states, while Biden has just 44 percent.

It is important to note that Biden won several key battleground states in 2020, including Arizona. However, flash forward to today, Trump is on track to securing the majority of the votes. (Read more from “Joe Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Election” HERE)

The Polls Don’t Lie: Thousands of People Show Up to Trump Rally In Deep-Blue State (VIDEO)

Former President Donald Trump headed to the most liberal part of New York to address tens of thousands of MAGA supporters in the state that has not seen a red wave in nearly 40 years.

However, 2024 may be the year of a Democrat downfall in the state.

Trump arrived in the Bronx on Thursday evening as part of his plan to bring his message to every part of the Democrat state of New York as the politically motivated criminal trial in Manhattan continues.

As Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA” played, Trump took the stage with thousands of supporters donning MAGA hats, chanting “TRUMP” flooded the area.

The 2024 hopeful first addressed the Biden border crisis, speculating that the millions of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. may be “building an army.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
