The government failed to respond to the complaint by the deadline, April 15. Instead, it filed a request for an extension...

Former President Donald Trump is directly calling for the imprisonment of nine of his political opponents — including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. In a post on his Truth Social platform Sunday, Trump shared an article from far-right writer John Solomon which alleged that the Jan. 6 committee “withheld crucial evidence” in its probe by not releasing the testimony of a Secret Service agent who drove Trump’s limo on Jan. 6.

The sources she cited at the hearing almost immediately went on record to contradict her sworn testimony. Legacy networks NBC, CBS, and CNN reported Hutchinson’s sources were prepared to go under oath to testify that her claims were false. Now Hutchinson is...

As the Jan. 6 congressional investigation rushed to a close in 2022, one of the House Democrats' star witnesses waived her attorney-client privilege with her first lawyer in a move that could now open the door for House Republicans to question both her and her attorney, correspondence obtained by Just the News shows.

Three women who worked in former President Donald Trump’s administration bleakly warned voters against returning him to the White House in 2024. They cautioned that he poses a grave threat to American democracy and some even mused about backing the Democrat option should Trump lock down the GOP nod. “Everyone who was in the West Wing, and frankly, a lot of Cabinet secretaries, they know how dangerous Trump is,” former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin told ABC’s “This Week.” “This is not about politics. It’s not about policy. It is about the character of the man.” Griffin was...

According to a new Jack Smith filing the DOJ may be a part of the scandal of the ‘missing’ Secret Service text messages. Jack Smith in his Monday night filing objected to Trump’s demands for evidence from the Department of Homeland Security and January 6 Committee. Per Julie Kelly: It appears DOJ is part of the scandal of the missing Secret Service texts.

VIDEOCassidy Hutchinson was the STAR WITNESS of the bogus J6 Committee during the summer of 2022. Her upcoming performance was hyped over and over again by the Democrats and the media. So what happened? It turned out that the testimony of the STAR WITNESS was only laughable second hand hearsay that was immediately contradicted by the first hand sources she cited. After that, the STATE WITNESS faded away until recently when she returned to the public eye to shamelessly grift for her book. Unfortunately for her, it has now come to light, as revealed by Congressman Barry Loudermilk, that the...

Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that “everybody should vote for” President Joe Biden if they wanted democracy to survive. Partial transcript as follows: HUTCHINSON: Donald Trump isn’t a Republican. And, yes, maybe, by name, he considers himself a Republican, but Donald Trump cares more about authoritarian rule than he does our rule of law. He doesn’t care about preserving our Constitution. He cares about leveraging it for his own power and his own gain. So, when we look at this next election, we need to think about, if we want our democracy to...
