Trump pelosi foreign trip

Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Images Less than a week after the FBI searched Donald Trump ’s Mar-a-Lago home, it was revealed that federal agents were investigating potential violations of the Espionage Act and that they’d found multiple top-secret documents. On Friday, the warrant used for the search was unsealed after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a day earlier that the Justice Department had filed a motion in court to do so. Trump’s attorneys did not object, though they declined to share the warrant themselves after they were provided with a copy and a receipt of seized items following the search on Monday. Meanwhile, Trump railed against the FBI and Justice Department for their actions as did Republicans in Congress. Here’s what we’ve learned so far about the investigation of the former president. The search was related to potential violations of three laws, including the Espionage Act : One of the laws concerns the “concealment, removal or mutilation” … [Read more...] about Top-Secret Documents Found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago: Everything We’ve Learned

After the fascist FBI raided Donald Trump’s private residence, Republican support for the former president hit a record high. Far-left Politico reports that a record high of 58 percent of Republican voters now say they would vote for Trump in a 2024 presidential primary. Additionally, a record high 71 percent now say they want Trump to run again in 2024. Trump’s previous high for the question about voting for him in a 2024 primary was 56 percent, in March of 2022. The last time this poll was taken, last month, Trump earned 54 percent support. Support for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has dropped five points since July, from 21 percent to just 16 percent. When it comes to all voters, only 49 percent believe the warrant was issued because evidence existed of a crime. That’s a pretty pathetic number, a huge lack of trust in a major institution for a move as serious as raiding a former president’s private residence. Additionally, 39 percent believe (correctly) that the raid … [Read more...] about Nolte: GOP Support for Trump Hits Record High After Fascist FBI Raid

The search warrant for the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday suggests he is being investigated under the Espionage Act of 1917 — the same law that Hillary Clinton was suspected of violating in 2016. Attorney General Merrick Garland admitted Thursday that he personally approved the warrant application, which seeks broad discretion to search Trump’s home based on three statutes: 18 U.S.C. section 793, on the mishandling of defense information; 18 U.S.C. section 1519, relating to the destruction of federal documents; and 18 U.S.C. section 2071, which punishes hiding, moving, or destroying federal documents. Section 793 is from the Espionage Act of 1917, passed during the First World War. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was suspected of violating the latter when she used an unsecured private email server in her own home to handle her communications, including emails with classified information, during her time in office. The relevant part … [Read more...] about Trump Warrant Suggests Espionage Act; Same Law Hillary Clinton Dodged

BEIJING (AP) — Latvia and Estonia say they have left a Chinese-backed forum aimed at boosting relations with Eastern European countries, in what appears to be a new setback for China's increasingly assertive diplomacy. The move follows China’s boosting of its relations with Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine is seen as a possible first step in a series of moves against countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. China has refused to criticize Russia and has condemned punishing economic sanctions imposed on Moscow by the West. Weeks before the invasion, Chinese President and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing and declared their bilateral relations had “no limits" in a joint statement. The move also comes after Beijing launched economic and diplomatic retaliation against another Baltic state, Lithuania, in retaliation for its expanded ties with the self-governing island democracy of Taiwan, which China claims as its own … [Read more...] about Latvia, Estonia leave China-backed East Europe forum

Any mention of Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) makes her very angry, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) told the Atlantic in a published article by Mark Leibovich on Friday. Cheney’s anger comes after McCarthy led a vote of no confidence against her among Republican House members in May. The vote forced her to exit the third most powerful position in the GOP House caucus, the conference chair, whose responsibility it is to raise money for the party. A few days later, Stefanik was elected Republican conference chair Friday by a secret ballot vote of 134-46. “I’m truly honored and humbled to earn the support of my colleagues to serve as House Republican Conference Chair,” Stefanik said after the vote. “House Republicans are united in our focus to fight on behalf of the American people to save our country from the radical Socialist Democrat agenda of President Biden and Nancy Pelosi.” Cheney has since allied herself with the Democrats, holding hearings with them on … [Read more...] about Liz Cheney: Any Mention of McCarthy, Stefanik Makes Her ‘Really Angry’

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was elected Republican Conference Chair Friday by a secret-ballot vote of 134-46. Stefanik wrote after her large victory: I’m truly honored and humbled to earn the support of my colleagues to serve as House Republican Conference Chair. House Republicans are united in our focus to fight on behalf of the American people to save our country from the radical Socialist Democrat agenda of President Biden and Nancy Pelosi. The American people are experiencing an economic crisis, a border crisis, an energy crisis, and a national security crisis due to Far-Left radical policies. House Republicans will continue to put forth policies focused on growing our economy and getting people back to work, reopening our schools, promoting American energy independence, securing our border, strengthening our national security, and protecting our Constitution. State colleague Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) congratulated Stefanik on her victory Friday, “ Congratulations … [Read more...] about Blowout: Elise Stefanik Elected GOP Conference Chair, Replaces Cheney
