Claim: White House Reportedly Identified, Will Remove ‘Anonymous’ Resistance Official

The anonymous member of the Trump administration who penned a scathing anti-Trump op-ed in the New York Times, asserted his or her position as a member of the “resistance,” and went on to write a tell-all book has been pinpointed by the administration and will be removed, former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova claimed on Monday.

DiGenova, who is not a Trump administration official, claims that a senior government official informed him that the Trump administration has identified the senior official behind the infamous “resistance” op-ed, which was published in the Times in 2018.

“Remember that article in the New York Times by ‘Anonymous,’ which was written allegedly by someone inside the administration? I am told that soon there will be someone else leaving the White House who wrote that article,” he told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall host Vince Coglianese on Monday.

“Apparently, they have identified ‘Anonymous,’ and we were told that — Victoria and I were at a dinner with a senior government official last week — and were told that by this person. They have, in fact, identified ‘Anonymous.’”

DiGenova would not say if the official was part of the National Security Council (NSC), telling Coglianese, “I don’t want to give out too much information and reveal the source of the information.” (Read more from “Claim: White House Reportedly Identified, Will Remove ‘Anonymous’ Resistance Official” HERE)

White House Refuses to Participate in Jerry Nadler’s Impeachment Inquiry

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote a five-page letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) on Sunday, rejecting participation in what Cipollone called a “baseless and highly partisan” impeachment inquiry.

Nadler had given the president and his lawyers until 6:00 p.m. EST to respond to a request to participate in the opening hearing of the Judiciary Committee’ inquiry on Wednesday, focusing on constitutional and legal issues. Democrats had prepared four witnesses, unnamed as of Sunday: three were reportedly in favor of impeachment. Separately, Nadler gave the White House a deadline of Friday, Dec. 6, to participate in the broader inquiry.

In his letter (via Politico), Cipollone said that the Democrats’ process “violates all past historical precedent, basic due process rights, and fundamental fairness.” He accused Democrats of deliberately scheduling the opening hearing during the president’s upcoming trip to the NATO Leaders Summit in London this week.

Cipollone further pointed out that the opening hearing would “include no fact witnesses at all,” and that neither the first nor subsequent hearings were clear about what witnesses would be called, or about what rights the president would be provided. (He reserved the right to respond to Nadler’s broader invitation by the Friday deadline.) . . .

He added, further, that Nadler’s threat to take action if the White House continued to resist providing witnesses and documents — even on constitutional grounds — amounted to a total denial of procedural rights to the president.

Rapper Kicks Fan off Stage for Refusing to Yell ‘F*** Trump’, White House Responds

Rapper YG crudely bullied a fan at his concert for refusing to yell “f*** Trump”, when pulled up on stage, has prompted a vociferous response from the White House.

“Another example of the tolerant left,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham sarcastically told Fox News on Monday morning.

The hit from Grisham came in response to the viral video on Sunday that showed YG treating a fan at one of his concert with contempt and disdain for not singing along to his anti-Trump anthem “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump”) after inviting the young man on stage.

“I spotted you in the crowd, I asked if you f**k with Donald Trump. You said, ‘You don’t know.’ So since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight,” said YG as he demanded that the fan state his name and yell out, “F*** Donald Trump.” . . .

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

“No, you won’t?” asked YG in response to the fan. “Get his ass outta here! He a Donald Trump supporter. Get his ass outta here! Don’t come to a motherfu**in’ show with YG on a motherfu**in’ billboard, Donald Trump supporter. Don’t let his a** back in the crowd. Tell ’em YG said so.” (Read more from “Rapper Kicks Fan off Stage for Refusing to Yell ‘F*** Trump'” HERE)

WATCH: Trump Stopped Cold When a Black Supporter Asked to Pray for Him — What She Did Next Floored the Room

As young black leaders gathered Friday in the White House for the Young Black Leadership Summit, one voice split the room asking for a moment to pray for President Donald Trump.

Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson shared video of what happened when the president brought the young woman to the podium. Mahalet, once an abandoned, impoverished orphan from Ethiopia, earned smiles and cheers from the president and the gathered crowd.

“I’m not really good with prayers or anything like that but I just want to say thank you, Mr. President, and I know we have a political warfare right now, but I strongly believe that it is a spiritual one as well,” Mahalet said to cheers from the crowd.

“And I want to make sure that I mean, I know that Americans are gonna wake up and we’re gonna get back to looking to God instead of social media and we’re gonna look back to Jesus because Jesus saves and this country was founded upon the Constitution, was built on Godly principles and we’re gonna fight for that,” she said. “And I just want to encourage you guys to pray every day for this nation.” (Read more from “Trump Stopped Cold When a Black Supporter Asked to Pray for Him — What She Did Next Floored the Room” HERE)

Impeachment Showdown: Three House Committees Slap White House With Subpoenas

Three Democratic Committee Chairman – Elijah Cummings of the House Oversight Committee; Adam Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee; and Eliot Engel of the House Foreign Affairs Committee – came together on Friday to issue a subpoena against the White House as part of the House’s impeachment inquiry. The Committees sent a letter to Acting Chief of Staff John Mulvaney, demanding documents be provided by October 18th.

“The Committees are investigating the extent to which President Trump jeopardized national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere with our 2020 election and by withholding security assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression, as well as any efforts to cover up these matters,” the letter reads.

According to the Committee leaders, the “White House has refused to engage with – or even respond to – multiple requests for documents from our Committees on a voluntary basis,” something they say constitutes “stonewalling.” . . .

According to the three men, the full House doesn’t need to vote on the inquiry because they adopted the rules, “which provide the Oversight Committee with its own independent oversight and legislative jurisdiction to investigate these matters – including authority to issue subpoenas to the White House.” (Read more from “Impeachment Showdown: Three House Committees Slap White House With Subpoenas” HERE)

The Secret Service Arrested One of the El Paso Survivors That President Trump Invited to the White House

The Secret Service arrested one of the El Paso, Texas, survivors that President Donald Trump intended to honor when he arrived at the White House. . .

On Aug. 3, a 21-year-old man entered a Walmart in El Paso and opened fire, murdering 22 people and wounding dozens others. He was later apprehended by police. He later admitted to targeting Hispanics.

One of the invitees was 50-year-old Chris Grant. In addition to being shot during the attack, Grant claimed to have thrown things, including bottles, at the attacker. Trump also praised Grant, asking his family to thank him on behalf of the country. . .

“Nobody bothered to check with us,” El Paso police spokesman Sgt. Enrique Carrillo told the Washington Examiner. “They would have been informed, as I am telling you now, that our detectives reviewed hours of video and his actions did not match his account.”

“On Monday, Sept. 9, 2019, a White House visitor with an arrest warrant was temporarily detained by U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers,” a spokesperson for the Secret Service explained to the Washington Examiner. “It was subsequently determined that while the arrest warrant was still active, the agency that issued the warrant would not extradite, at which time the individual was released from Secret Service custody.” (Read more from “The Secret Service Arrested One of the El Paso Survivors That President Trump Invited to the White House” HERE)

Federal Judge Orders White House to Restore Reporter’s Hard Pass

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the press pass of Brian Karem, Playboy’s Senior White House reporter.

“Karem has shown that even the temporary suspension of his pass inflicts irreparable harm on his First Amendment rights,” U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras wrote in his opinion.

‘She Was a Spy from Day One’: Trump Assistant out After Discussing President’s Family with Press

Madeleine Westerhout, President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, who has been described as a gatekeeper to the president, resigned on Thursday after leaking to the press earlier this month. Several White House officials had long suspected her of disloyalty to the president. A former staffer for the Republican National Committee and Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, she had reportedly cried when it became clear Trump had won in 2016.

“She was a spy from day one who sought to use her proximity to the president to curry favor with his detractors,” a former White House official told CBS News.

Westerhout’s resignation came after Trump learned on Thursday that she had “indiscreetly shared details about his family and the Oval Office operations she was part of during a recent off-the-record dinner with reporters staying at hotels near Bedminster, N.J., during the president’s working vacation,” The New York Times reported. . .

According to CBS News, the New Jersey dinner was not the first time Trump’s personal assistant had gossiped with reporters present. At a farewell event for former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she bragged about her gatekeeper status.

In September 2018, veteran journalist Bob Woodward complained in an interview with Trump that his request to speak with the president had not been passed on by more prominent aides like Kellyanne Conway. Trump said he should have contacted Westerhout. “Madeleine is the key. She’s the secret,” the president said. He has also reportedly referred to her as “my beauty.” (Read more from “‘She Was a Spy from Day One’: Trump Assistant out After Discussing President’s Family with Press” HERE)

2005 Video Surfaces, Shows Pic of Epstein and Mistress Inside White House, Underage Girls at Mansion; Also, US Government Gave Epstein Passports for Minor Girls

By Business Insider. Resurfaced video from a 2005 police raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion shows a mysterious photo that appears to be of him and Ghislaine Maxwell in the White House.

The video was shot by officers from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office inside Epstein’s $16 million Palm Beach mansion on October 10, 2005. It was republished by the Daily Mail this week.

A photo collage in the footage includes a photo of a gray-haired man resembling Epstein and a dark-haired woman resembling Maxwell, who’s been accused of acting as his madam, standing in front of a White House logo, a backdrop that appears to match the White House press briefing room.


Insider has not been able to verify the photo. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Epstein was known to be close with former US President Bill Clinton, who rode on Epstein’s plane on several occasions in the months after leaving the White House in January 2001. (Read more from “2005 Video Surfaces Showing Pic of Jeffrey Epstein and Mistress Inside the White House” HERE)

Video from 2005 Raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate Shows Images of Underage Girls

By The New York Post. Newly surfaced video from a 2005 police raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Palm Beach estate offers a disturbing glimpse into the late pedophile’s tastes — including photographs of scantily clad underage girls, according to reports.

Detectives investigating Epstein’s alleged sexual relationships with young girls enter the mansion with guns drawn and read a search warrant to the house manager.

“The court, being satisfied of the existence of said ground [for search] set forth in the affidavit and that the laws of the State of Florida have been violated in or on a premises known and described as follows, to wit 358 El Brillo Road,” one detective reads, according to footage obtained by CBS 12.

The officers then sweep through the $16.4 million waterfront compound, where they come across a photo of a girl who appears to be about 6 years old bending over in a short dress with her behind exposed, according to the Daily Mail. Authorities blurred the image. (Read more from “Video from 2005 Raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate Shows Images of Underage Girls” HERE)

U.S. Government Gave Epstein’s Minor Girls Passports; Who Did Epstein Own in the State Department?

One of the women accusing Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, Chauntae Davies, is vowing to continue her fight for justice after his death. In an exclusive interview with “CBS This Morning,” Davies shared her story and told Gayle King she’s suspicious of the way Epstein died. . .

“The first encounter I had with him, he masturbated in front of me,” Davies said. “And obviously, that alone should have been enough for me to never come back, but the way that they were able to orchestrate and manipulate the situation, you know, led me to believe that something like that wouldn’t happen again so I did go back a second time” . . .

“It was about the third or fourth encounter meeting, the two of them, where things progressed to rape,” Davies said. . .

“I’m still trying to understand. There’s a lot of anger that I have for myself,” Davies said. “Immediately, the power that this man had was evident. He made it very clear, Ghislaine made it very clear. He had powerful figures photographed all over his residences. Even in one of the first couple trips they even somehow got me a passport.” (Read more from this story HERE)
