CIA Director: More Intelligence Shows the Russia Collusion Hoax ‘Was a Hillary Clinton Plan’

More files may link failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to the origins of the Russia collusion hoax that targeted President Donald Trump.

During an interview Sunday on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe explained the situation to host Maria Bartiromo, per the New York Post.

“Part of what came out last week was about how John Brennan, Clapper, Comey, they all pushed the known fake Steele dossier into intelligence community assessments, and that’s the basis for Crossfire Hurricane and all that,” he continued:

But what hasn’t come out yet and what’s going to come out is the underlying intelligence that I have spent the last few months making recommendations about final declassification and sent that to the Department of Justice, that will come out in the John Durham report classified annex. And what that intelligence shows, Maria, is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier, to those fake Russia collusion claims by pouring oil on the fire, by amplifying the lie and burying the truth of what Hillary Clinton was up to.

Ratcliffe said Clinton testified before Durham under oath in 2022 and “Much of that testimony is frankly completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence that is about to be declassified in the Durham annex, what that reflects.”

Trump’s Cognitive Test Results Revealed in Annual Physical Report

The White House has released President Donald Trump’s annual physical exam results, confirming the 78-year-old commander-in-chief is in “excellent cognitive and physical health” and fully capable of carrying out his duties.

The memo, signed by Dr. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president, followed Trump’s visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday. It marks the first public health update on Trump since last July’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

‘Fit to Serve’

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in the official statement.

The president stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds, with a blood pressure reading of 128/74 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute. Barbabella praised Trump’s active lifestyle, even highlighting his “frequent victories in golf events” as evidence of his stamina and physical well-being.

Cognitive Test Results: 30 Out of 30

The report revealed that Trump underwent the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) — a quick 10-minute exam designed to detect mild cognitive impairment — and scored a perfect 30 out of 30.

This is not the first time Trump has aced the test. During his first term, in January 2018, then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson reported an identical 30/30 score.

The physical also noted scarring on Trump’s right ear from last summer’s shooting in Pennsylvania but found no ongoing health issues from the incident. All diagnostic and laboratory testing, conducted with input from 14 specialist consultants, came back normal.

“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” the memo concluded.

Social Media Posts Reveal Anti-Trump Bias Of CIA Officer Who Helped Create 2016 Russiagate Report

A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counterintelligence officer who claimed she helped lead the 2016 U.S. Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) regarding allegations of Russian election interference has a history of social media comments blasting President Donald Trump as a “dictator.”

The comments from recently-retired CIA officer, Susan Miller, were originally reported by Just The News Tuesday and verified by the Daily Caller. Miller claimed she assisted in spearheading the 2016 ICA investigative team. The CIA under Director John Ratcliffe released a tradecraft review of the ICA in 2025.

Responding to a May New York Times (NYT) article, Miller commented that the reported dismantling of an investigative squad in the FBI was “awful” and “Further proof that Trump is a dictator,” according to her LinkedIn post.

Miller also responded on LinkedIn to a March Washington Post article as “proof” of Trump’s “lack of empathy ….. and his high regard for a dictator,” adding that Trump has “dictator envy.”

Additionally, she agreed with a comment that appeared to compare Trump to Hitler, saying, “the Hitler analogy is not lost on a bunch of us” on LinkedIn. (Read more from “Social Media Posts Reveal Anti-Trump Bias Of CIA Officer Who Helped Create 2016 Russiagate Report” HERE)

Trump Goes on Ballistic Rant and Drops Massive Tariff Bombshell That Will Batter Americans’ Pockets

President Donald Trump on Sunday insisted there will be no exemptions in the tariffs after there was some confusion when it came to electronics.

‘NOBODY is getting “off the hook” for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst!’ the president posted on Truth Social.

A notice released late on Friday suggested gadgets would avoid Trump’s 125 percent import tax on Chinese goods and even his sweeping 10 percent global tariffs.

But his administration clarified on Sunday that electronics would be subject to other tariffs.

‘There was no Tariff “exception” announced on Friday,’ Trump continued in his post.

‘These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff “bucket,”’ he continued. (Read more from “Trump Goes on Ballistic Rant and Drops Massive Tariff Bombshell That Will Batter Americans’ Pockets” HERE)

Federal Judge Blocks a Major Provision in Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

A federal judge has halted enforcement of a provision in the 2025 Reconciliation Act that would cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.

The provision would have prohibited Medicaid reimbursements to any abortion provider affiliated with the organization that performs elective abortions and receives over $800,000 in funding.

US District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that this measure violates multiple constitutional protections — especially for Planned Parenthood affiliates that do not provide abortions. She argued that the provision “burdens the exercise of Planned Parenthood Federation and its Members First Amendment rights of association and is thus subject to strict scrutiny review.”

Her argument was that the government does not possess the authority to compel organizations to disaffiliate from Planned Parenthood by using the threat of withholding federal funds — especially when the affiliation is expressive and based on shared values and advocacy.

Talwani referred to the longstanding political effort to defund the organization based on its advocacy rather than its abortion services. She pointed to the provision, which says the measure is “designed to ensure nearly all of the entitites covered are Planned Parenthood Members.”

Trump Secures $1.35 Trillion Trade Deal With EU

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday a historic trade agreement with the European Union, calling it a “landmark victory” for American energy and economic leadership. The deal, struck after high-stakes negotiations with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland, will see the EU purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy exports and invest an additional $600 billion in the United States, solidifying America’s position as a global energy powerhouse.

“This agreement strengthens our transatlantic ties while putting American workers, industries, and the broader economy first,” Trump said. “The European Union is going to agree to purchase from the United States $750 billion worth of energy. They are going to agree to invest into the United States $600 billion more than they’re investing already.”

The breakthrough comes after weeks of tense talks and looming tariff threats. Trump had signaled that, without a deal by Friday, tariffs on most European imports would jump from 10% to 30% starting August 1—part of his broader push to address what he called “one of the largest trade deficits” between the U.S. and the EU.

“Most of the deals—aside from steel and aluminum, where we’ve already been hitting them with 50 percent—will see new duties starting Friday,” Trump warned, emphasizing that no exceptions would be made for nations unwilling to reach new trade agreements.

The agreement marks another major policy victory for Trump, who has prioritized “America-first” trade strategies throughout his presidency. Analysts say the deal could have far-reaching implications for global energy markets and U.S. industries, providing a massive boost to American energy exports and domestic investments.

Trump Says He’s ‘Thinking About’ Sending Tariff-Funded Rebate Checks To Americans

President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was contemplating sending rebate checks to Americans using tariff revenue.

The U.S. government ran a $27 billion budget surplus in June, fueled partly by record tariff revenue, which exceeded $100 billion for the first time in a fiscal year, Reuters reported. When a reporter asked Trump at the White House if there was a chance of a rebate for Americans due to the revenue, the president said his administration was prioritizing paying off debt, but that a small rebate for some Americans was possible.

“We’re thinking about that, actually. We have so much money coming in,” Trump said. “We’re thinking about a little rebate, but the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. But we’re thinking about a rebate.”

“That’s a very good question. You just made a lot of news,” he continued. “We’re thinking about a rebate because we have so much money coming in from tariffs that a little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice.”

Trump unveiled sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on nearly every other nation on April 2, but announced a 90-day pause one week later, which cut most of them to a 10% baseline rate. (Read more from “Trump Says He’s ‘Thinking About’ Sending Tariff-Funded Rebate Checks To Americans” HERE)

Trump Signs Executive Order Forcing Homeless off America’s Streets

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to end “endemic vagrancy” — and rehouse homeless people including drug addicts and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.”

The order redirects federal funding to prioritize “shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment.”

On average, more than 274,000 people were sleeping on the streets each night last year under then-President Joe Biden, the order says.

“The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health disorder, or both,” the document says.

“The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats.” (Read more from “Trump Signs Executive Order Forcing Homeless off America’s Streets” HERE)

Social Security Benefits to Be Cut by 24% over Next Seven Years: Fiscal Watchdog

Social Security beneficiaries are expected to face a 24% cut in payments by late 2032 following the enactment of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, according to new projections from a nonpartisan fiscal watchdog.

The projected cut would equal an $18,100 annual benefit cut for a dual-earning, middle-class couple that retires at the start of 2033, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget revealed in an analysis released Thursday. In comparison, a single-income couple at the same class level that retires at the end of the seven-year period would see a lower benefit cut of $13,600 per year.

“Policymakers pledging not to touch Social Security are implicitly endorsing these deep benefit cuts for 62 million retirees in 2032 and beyond,” the nonprofit organization said. “It is time for policymakers to tell the truth about the program’s finances and to pursue trust fund solutions to head off insolvency and improve the program for current and future generations.”

The new tax law essentially reduces the incoming tax revenue toward Social Security’s trust fund, accelerating the retirement program’s depletion. The drastic cut would take effect once the Social Security trust fund runs out of money in less than a decade.

Retirees may also find it harder to access healthcare due to an 11% cut in Medicare hospital insurance payments, the analysis shows. (Read more from “Social Security Benefits to Be Cut by 24% over Next Seven Years: Fiscal Watchdog” HERE)

Obama’s Intel Agencies Interfered In The 2016 Election, And Of Course The Media Don’t Care

If you told me a week ago that the federal government would release a bunch of official emails related to interference in the 2016 election and President Trump but virtually all of the media wouldn’t give a damn, I’d have assumed you were on drugs.

That’s what happened though. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified a slew of internal government communications proving that then-President Obama’s intelligence agencies deliberately blocked the publication of a conclusive assessment that Russia had not manipulated votes in the 2016 election — contradicting the Russian-interference lie aggressively pushed by both Democrats and the dying news media.

As Margot Cleveland wrote this week here, “[T]he email threads declassified last week indicate the [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] … buried the PDB [President’s Daily Brief] to provide the intelligence community cover to issue a contrary assessment concerning Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election — and did so, against the recommendations of a wide array of intelligence professionals.”

At a minimum, that means a former president used American taxpayer dollars to smear his successor, sowing suspicion that Trump’s victory was illegitimate. That is, by definition, a scandal.

If it were Trump who did that to Biden, we would be hearing about this 50 years from now. Instead, the dying media are sweeping it away as a bore. (Read more from “Obama’s Intel Agencies Interfered In The 2016 Election, And Of Course The Media Don’t Care” HERE)
