Attorney General Charges Three In Tesla Attacks

More to come…

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday announced three individuals are facing federal charges for allegedly attacking Tesla properties as protests and vandalism hitย Elon Muskโ€™sย electric vehicle company across the country.

Calling the charges a โ€œwarning,โ€ Bondi said the three individuals are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla dealerships in three different states in recent weeks.

โ€œThe days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,โ€ Bondi said in a Thursday statement. โ€œLet this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.โ€

The charges come amid a wave of violent demonstrations taking place across the nation in protest of Muskโ€™s efforts to slash the federal government and budget underย President Trumpโ€™sย direction.

Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, on Jan. 20, threw approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon, federal prosecutors said. One vehicle was completely destroyed, and several others were damaged.

Lansky also threw a “large heavy object through the dealership window,” they said. At the time of the attack, he was armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle.

Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, 42, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado on Jan. 29 after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails, prosecutors said. 

A former high-level FBI special agent said he expects political violence in the United States to continue escalating amid the nationwide destruction of Tesla vehicles and dealerships aimed at intimidating Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. 

Michael Tabman is the former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, and he said there is no doubt that recent violent attacks faced by Tesla owners and dealerships are clear cases of domestic terrorism. 

“I do fear that more violence is on its way,” Tabman told Fox News Digital. “Maybe not directly Teslas or DOGE, but just general political violence. I think it’s already here. But I think there’s more around the corner.”

Florida Reporter Suspended After Texting MAGA Congressman After Kirk Shooting

1

No room for this behavior…

A reporter with a popular Florida political website was immediately suspended after attempting to capitalize on the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk.

The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when theย shootingย occurred. Video taken by students attending his speech shows Kirk appearing to have been shot in the neck after the sound of a single gunshot was heard. Kirk was later pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Kirk was a popular figure in conservative media circles and a prominent supporter of Presidentย Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at theย Republican National Conventionย in Milwaukee last year.

News of the shootingย stunnedย politicians and commentators on both sides of the aisle, who offered prayers for his family and condemnations of political violence.

Wednesday afternoon, after news of the shooting had spread but before it was known that Kirk had died,ย A.G. Gancarski, a reporter with theย Florida Politicsย website, texted Rep.ย Randy Fineย (R-FL), a Republicanย electedย to Congress earlier this year in a special election.

According to a screenshot posted by Fine, Gancarski asked him โ€œif Charlie Kirk getting shot affects your position on campus carry?โ€

โ€œIf gun control had been in play could the tragedy have been avoided?โ€ Gancarski added.

โ€œI learned that Charlie Kirk was shot 23 minutes ago. I am repulsed that you would even think to ask a political question when all anyone should be doing is praying for his survival,โ€ Fine wrote back. โ€œNever contact me again.โ€

Fine shared a screenshot of the texts on social media along with a caption that read, โ€œYou donโ€™t hate the media enough.โ€

Less than an hour later,ย Peter Schorsch, the founder and publisher of Florida Politics, posted that he had โ€œimmediately suspended [Gancarski] from his position with [Florida Politics].โ€

Schorsch then noted that he had โ€œurged [Gancarski] to go dark on social media for the time being while we address this situation,โ€ and invited anyone with comments or questions to email him. Gancarskiโ€™s account on X has been set to private and is no longer publicly viewable.

Another X userย postedย a screenshot of a tweet Gancarski had purportedly sent to Fine before deleting it and locking down his account. In the screenshot, Gancarski replied to Fine that it was a โ€œvalid questionโ€ because Fine โ€œran a bill that would have allowed โ€˜campus carry’โ€ as a state senator, but had left the legislature by the time of theย April 17 shootingย at Florida State University.

โ€œI stand by the question,โ€ Gancarski wrote. โ€œTragedy is ultimately what tests policy positions.โ€

Mediaite and other outlats have not yet confirmed the authenticity of this screenshot, but it does accurately display Gancarskiโ€™s username on X and most recent profile photo. Mediaite reached out to Schorsch for comment but did not receive a reply.

The House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep.ย Jim Jordanย (R-Ohio) said the panel will continue its investigation into Hunter Bidenโ€™s criminal activity in a Thursdayย interview with Politico.

โ€œWe think we need to look atย David Weiss,ย the special counsel,โ€ Jordan told the outlet.ย 

โ€œThere will be some additional work we need to do, I think, there because when we deposed him, he wasnโ€™t willing to โ€” he didnโ€™t answer any questions, really, because it was [an] ongoing investigation,โ€ he added.

He criticizedย President Bidenย for pardoning his son ahead of his exit from the White House on all crimes committed in a 10-year period.

โ€œI didnโ€™t agree with it. I think a lot of Americans didnโ€™t,โ€ Jordan said.

But he added that โ€œthe president can pardon anyone he wants to pardon.โ€

Jordanโ€™s committee launched a broad probe intoย Hunter Bidenย and his uncle James Biden for alleged unethical business dealings which prompted their testimony before members of Congress last year.

Campus Chaos Erupts At UC Berkeley Ahead Of Ending Tour by Turning Point USA

3

On Monday afternoon in Berkeley, a bloody confrontation broke out near the campus of the University of California, Berkeley as the conservative student-activist group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) held its final stop of the โ€œThis Is The Turning Pointโ€ tour. The event featured noted conservative voices Dr. Frank Turek and actor-activist Rob Schneider, and came just two months after the murder of TPUSAโ€™s founder, Charlie Kirk, at a campus event in Utah on Sept. 10.

According to video from Fox News Digital, the skirmish began around 4:30 p.m. PST. Two men were seen grappling in the altercation, with one suffering a serious facial injury and blood clearly visible. A mob of agitatorsโ€”many wearing keffiyehs and carrying left-wing protest signsโ€”surrounded the fight. The local police, including officers donning shields and batons, appeared challenged to regain control of the crowd.

The Berkeley Police Department reported at least two arrests by 6 p.m.โ€”one individual was arrested for battery. A university spokesperson clarified the brawl occurred off campus grounds and declined further comment.

Turek, in a recent interview ahead of the event, said he urged Kirk to make the Berkeley stop of the tour: โ€œIf I could go to any one event with him, it would be that oneโ€ฆ I wanted to go to UC Berkeley because it is so progressive and liberal in their views, and I wanted to provide evidence that Christianity was indeed true.โ€

As departure began, protesters reportedly surrounded all exits to the venue, heckled attendees, and shouted obscenities as they filtered out. It remains unclear how many individuals were injured in the fight.

Kirk, Trump & the Conservative Youth Movement
Charlie Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA in 2012, with the mission of mobilizing conservative students on college campuses. His organization became a central pillar of conservative youth activism.

Kirkโ€™s relationship with Donald Trump evolved into a potent alignment:

  • Kirk was considered a key figure in helping Trump make inroads with younger voters, a segment Democrats long dominated.
  • He developed a direct line to the Trump orbit; multiple sources note that his influence extended beyond student activism into campaign strategy.

Kirkโ€™s impact on the GOPโ€™s youthful base, combined with his focus on campus organizing, made him a strategic asset to the Trump-aligned Republican coalition. As one analysis put it: โ€œKirkโ€™s efforts significantly contributed to Trumpโ€™s appeal among younger voters.โ€

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigatingย the protestsย at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, in the wake of several arrests at a Turning Point USA event.

โ€œWe saw all of this at Berkeley back in 2017. @UCBerkeley was sued, and settled the case,โ€ Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon wrote on the social platform X Tuesday, responding to another post claiming that โ€œAntifa has turned Turning Pointโ€™s event at UC Berkeley in California into an absolute WARZONE.โ€

โ€œThe @CivilRights will investigate what happened here, and I see several issues of serious concern regarding campus and local security and Antifaโ€™s ability to operate with impunity in CA,โ€ she added.

Iranian Hackers Threaten to Leak 100GB of Stolen Trump Team Emails

A stunning escalation…

An Iran-linked hacker group is claiming to be in possession of a trove of stolen emails from Presidentย Donald Trumpโ€™sย inner circle is threatening to publish the material in what U.S. officials describe as a politically motivated โ€œsmear campaign.โ€

The group, operating under the alias โ€œRobert,โ€ said it has over 100 gigabytes of emails from key Trump allies, including White House chief of staffย Susie Wiles, longtime confidantย Roger Stone, Trump attorneyย Lindsey Halligan, and even adult film actressย Stormy Daniels.

Reuters broke the story Tuesday after direct communication with the hackers, who hinted at potentially selling the material, though the group offered no specifics.

The threat comes just days after Trump abruptly reversed a tentative effort to ease sanctions on Iran, following Supreme Leader Ayatollahย Ali Khameneiโ€™sย downplayingย of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. A top Iranian cleric hasย issued a fatwaย against Trump and Israeli Prime Ministerย Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the pair โ€œenemies of God.โ€ (RELATED: Iranian Grand Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Targeting Trump)

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, a leading Shiite cleric in Iran with authority to issue legal rulings under Islamic law, has issued a fatwa โ€” an Islamic legal decree โ€” escalating regional tensions and offering religious justification for violence against Western and Israeli leaders.

As Newsweek rightly notes, the development highlights the Islamic Republicโ€™s ongoing use of religious decrees as political tools โ€” a strategy Iran has long used to project power beyond its borders.

While a fatwa is not legally enforceable, it can influence judicial decisions in countries with Sharia-based legal systems.

Khosro K. Isfahani, senior research analyst at the National Union for Democracy in Iran wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the fatwa issued by Shirazi against Trump was similar to the murder fatwa issued against the author Salman Rushdie for his novel The Satanic Verses which led to a number of assassination attempts.

โ€œThis so-called cyber โ€˜attackโ€™ is nothing more than digital propaganda,โ€ said Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) spokespersonย Marci McCarthy. She described the effort as a โ€œcalculated smear campaignโ€ designed to โ€œdamage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants.โ€

According to Mediaite, the hackers claim the breach was triggered by recent U.S. involvement in the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, a war Trump claimed credit for ending via a negotiated ceasefire. Despite claiming to have halted new attacks, the group says it resumed operations in response to that military intervention.

Federal prosecutors have already linked the hacker group to Iran.

Ghislaine Maxwell Submits Plea To Supreme Court, White House To Intervene In Criminal Case

On Monday, Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, called on the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction.

โ€œWe are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epsteinโ€™s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted,โ€ attorney David Oscar Markus said in a statement. 

Maxwell’s attorney argues her conviction violates a nonprosecution agreement Epstein signed with federal prosecutors. The appeal turns on the scope of the 2007 deal, which let Epstein avoid federal charges for pleading guilty to state-level sex crimes in Florida and serving 18 months in prison. 

The deal was signed by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Lower courts ruled the deal only covers that district and doesnโ€™t apply to federal prosecutors in New York, where Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aiding Epstein in abusing underage girls. 

โ€œRather than grapple with the core principles of plea agreements, the government tries to distract by reciting a lurid and irrelevant account of Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s misconduct,โ€ Markus wrote in the new brief. 

โ€œBut this case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did.โ€ 

Last week, Maxwell sat for a two-day interview with the Justice Departmentโ€™s No. 2 official, Todd Blanche. (RELATED: Justice Department Seeks Meeting With Ghislaine Maxwell In Epstein Case)

The new statement came as Maxwell made her final plea to the Supreme Court on Monday before the justices decide whether to take up her case. Maxwell filed the appeal in April, and the justices are poised to consider it upon returning from their summer recess.

The Justice Department has so far opposed Maxwellโ€™s Supreme Court appeal.

Markusโ€™s latest comments mark his most direct suggestion yet of Trump intervening. Markus said Friday he hadnโ€™t spoken to the president yet about a pardon and โ€œweโ€™re going to take one day at a time.โ€

Trump has punted on whether he would pardon Maxwell. Trump said Monday that โ€œIโ€™m allowed to give herโ€ a pardon, but โ€œnobodyโ€™s approached me.โ€ 

โ€œIโ€™m allowed to give her a pardon,โ€ Trump insisted, repeating a claim he made on his way to Scotland on Friday. โ€œNobody has approached me with it or asked me about it. Itโ€™s in the news about that, that aspect of it. But right now it would be inappropriate to talk about it.โ€

Former Congressman Madison Cawthorn Arrested

0

Former Congressman Madison Cawthorn was briefly arrested this week in Cape Coral, Florida โ€” yet the setback may not slow what many believe is a mounting effort to reenter national politics.

Authorities took Cawthorn into custody on a warrant stemming from an August 19 citation for driving without a valid license in Naples. He was released shortly thereafter on a $2,000 bond and is expected to appear in court to resolve the matter. Supporters have dismissed the incident as a minor technicality, unlikely to derail his ambitions.


From Conservative Trailblazer to Political Lightning Rod

Cawthorn burst onto the national stage in 2020 as one of the youngest Republicans ever elected to Congress, winning his North Carolina seat at just 25 years old. He quickly became a symbol of youthful conservative energy and unapologetic defiance of the Washington establishment.

But his meteoric rise ran into turbulence during his lone term. In early 2022, he alleged that some D.C. elites had invited him to a cocaine-fueled โ€œorgy,โ€ a claim that drew sharp criticism from GOP leadership. Weeks later, police body camera footage showed him being pulled over while driving a car he mistakenly believed he owned, and he was also cited for bringing a firearm through airport security โ€” his second such incident in less than a year.

Republican leadership, once supportive, gradually distanced themselves. The controversies overshadowed his legislative work and contributed to his loss in the 2022 Republican primary.


Florida Could Offer a Second Act

Now, Cawthorn may be plotting a political revival โ€” this time from Floridaโ€™s 19th Congressional District, where Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) is expected to step down to run for governor. Axios recently reported that Cawthorn has been exploring a run to fill the soon-to-be-open seat, potentially offering him a clean slate and new political base in one of the countryโ€™s most Republican-leaning regions.

If he enters the race, Cawthorn could return to Washington older, more seasoned, and still armed with the anti-establishment instincts that made him a grassroots favorite. For many conservatives, his resilience โ€” and willingness to challenge entrenched power โ€” could be the very qualities the GOP needs in its next generation of leadership. for the second time in nine months.

Dan Bongino Returns To Fox News Following Time In Trump Admin

Dan Bongino is officially back at Fox News.

After nearly a year as deputy director of the FBI under President Donald Trump, Bongino has returned to Fox as a contributor, according to a Monday afternoon report from The New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum.

His comeback was announced during the Monday night episode of Sean Hannityโ€™s show at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Grynbaum noted that Bongino has expressed regret at times about stepping away from his former life in media. Just weeks into the FBI role, he admitted on Fox & Friends that he missed what he left behind.

โ€œI gave up everything for this,โ€ Bongino said at the time.

First Appearance Back Focuses on High-Profile Disappearance

Bonginoโ€™s first major appearance after returning centered on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie.

Speaking on Hannity Monday night, Bongino outlined three troubling possibilities in the case, emphasizing that investigators are still operating with very limited evidence.

โ€œThe first [possibility] would be, obviously, it’s a kidnapping. That was an intended kidnapping for a ransom paymentโ€ฆโ€ he said.

He then explained a second scenario โ€” that the situation may have spiraled out of another crime entirely.

โ€œThe second possibility would be this was just a crime that went awry. Someone was at the house, maybe it was a burglary, maybe something went bad, and you’ve got some bad actors committing another crime unrelated โ€” in other words, requesting a ransom for something you didn’t do just to take advantage of a situation like this.โ€

Bonginoโ€™s third possibility raised an even more unsettling idea: that the disappearance may not involve a kidnapping at all.

The third possibility, he said, is that Guthrieโ€™s disappearance could have resulted from a medical emergency or another non-criminal event that was later misunderstood or misrepresented.

Bongino Highlights Lack of Evidence

Bongino pointed to the complete absence of digital and forensic indicators โ€” no DNA, no license plate hits, no cellphone activity, and no surveillance leads โ€” as a major reason investigators are struggling.

He explained that when authorities cannot locate someone within the first few days, it can suggest either extremely sophisticated perpetrators or something else entirely.

โ€œThe story youโ€™ve been told, or you may have believed may not be the story,โ€ he said.

While Bongino declined to push one theory more strongly than the others, he emphasized that the lack of proof-of-life communication is unusual for legitimate ransom kidnappings.

He also referenced commentary from veteran FBI Special Agent Lance Leising, noting that real ransom cases typically involve rapid contact and early confirmation that the victim is alive โ€” patterns missing here.

Multi-Agency Search Continues

Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Arizona home earlier this month, triggering a multi-agency investigation that now includes the FBI.

As the search intensified, Savannah Guthrie issued an emotional public plea, describing the situation as an โ€œhour of desperation.โ€

Authorities are also investigating an alleged ransom note tied to the disappearance, though the deadline referenced in the note passed Monday night without proof of life or resolution.

Back to Media โ€” and Still on Rumble

Bongino will continue hosting his podcast on Rumble, which he recently rebooted after leaving the FBI in December.

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham said at the time she wasnโ€™t surprised by Bonginoโ€™s departure, noting that he โ€œloved his lucrative media lifeโ€ and wanted to โ€œget back to it.โ€

President Trump joined Bonginoโ€™s first show back on Rumble.

The president made headlines during his appearance when he saidย Republicansย should โ€œnationalizeโ€ the voting processย in order to block โ€œcrookedโ€ Democrat-led states from allowing illegal immigrants to vote.

โ€œThese people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally,โ€ Trump said. โ€œAnd itโ€™s amazing the Republicans arenโ€™t tougher on it. The Republicans should say, โ€˜We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.โ€™โ€

The White House initially sought to soften Trumpโ€™s remarks, but the president doubled down on Tuesday, arguing that federal intervention could be warranted if states fail to administer elections fairly.

โ€œIf states canโ€™t count the votes legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over,โ€ Trump said. โ€œThe federal government should get involved.โ€

Trump framed his argument as a response to what he described as โ€œcorruptionโ€ at the state and local level, particularly in more than a dozen states he has criticized in recent months.

In response, Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) said he plans to introduce a Senate resolution on Monday denouncing any effort by a president to โ€œnationalizeโ€ or โ€œtake overโ€ state-run election systems ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Democrat Senator Warns Trump Planning a โ€˜Coordinated Effort to Try to Interfereโ€™ in the Midterms

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is raising concerns about what he claims could be an effort by President Donald Trump and his allies to influence the 2026 midterm elections.

Speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday, Warner suggested that Trumpโ€™s recent comments about Republicans needing to โ€œtake overโ€ elections from the states could signal broader plans to challenge state-run election systems.

โ€œIt appears there may be a coordinated effort to try to interfere in the โ€˜26 midterms,โ€ Warner said. He added that he is concerned, โ€œThey may even start to interfere in the primaries.โ€

Watch:

Trump and many Republicans have argued for years that election administration should be strengthened through tighter oversight and more uniform standards, particularly after disputes over voting procedures in 2020. Democrats, however, have increasingly framed these efforts as threats to democracy.

Warner Criticizes Tulsi Gabbardโ€™s Role in Georgia Investigation

Warner also expressed anger over Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbardโ€™s reported involvement in a federal raid in Fulton County, Georgia, where officials seized ballots and voter information as part of an investigation.

While details surrounding the raid remain unclear, Warner compared the situation to Watergate-era abuses of power โ€” an analogy Democrats have frequently used in recent years when criticizing Trump.

In a clip posted to social media, Warner said:

โ€œThe Nixon era is back. What do I mean? Richard Nixon is most infamously known for Watergate, where he intervened in a domestic political effort under the guise of the Watergate break-in. He knew what was going on before the fact. Well, it appears the same is true.โ€

Warner claimed testimony suggested Gabbard traveled to Atlanta because Trump personally asked her to.

โ€œIt appears the same is true. We got testimony yesterday that Tulsi Gabbard was down in Atlanta for that crazy raid on the voting machines because Trump asked her to go.โ€

Warner then questioned how Trump would have known about the investigation ahead of time:

โ€œWell, how the hell did Trump know there was about to be a warrant issued in a lame criminal investigation before the act took place? How did he let Gabbard know to go there?โ€

He also criticized reports that Trump spoke directly with FBI agents involved in the case:

โ€œThis is not how American justice should work. When, when, when will any of my Republican colleagues find a spine?โ€

Democrats Claim Raid May Have Been Improper

In another clip posted Wednesday, Warner suggested the FBI raid itself may have been unlawful, pointing to leadership changes under FBI Director Kash Patel.

โ€œWe have seen Kash Patel basically decimate the leadership of the FBI to the point that that raidโ€ฆ the FBI agent in charge of that office got fired because I donโ€™t believe he felt this was legal.โ€

Warner also argued that Gabbard, as DNI, should not have been involved in what he called a โ€œdomestic criminal investigation.โ€

โ€œThe director of national intelligence, who showed up at that domestic criminal investigation where she had no right to be thereโ€ฆโ€

He continued by questioning whether anyone in the administration attempted to stop Trump from contacting agents directly:

โ€œI know Trump doesnโ€™t know the law, but wasnโ€™t there anybody in the White House Counsel that said, โ€˜Mr. President, you shouldnโ€™t be talking to FBI agentsโ€ฆโ€™โ€

Warner concluded with a sharp personal attack on Gabbard:

โ€œThis is a guy thatโ€™s being enhanced by a rogue DNI whoโ€™s way over her skis in terms of knowledge or competency.โ€

Political Stakes Rising as 2026 Approaches

Warnerโ€™s comments come as Democrats increasingly warn of authoritarianism and election manipulation, themes expected to dominate campaign messaging heading into 2026.

Republicans, meanwhile, have argued that ensuring election integrity โ€” including investigating irregularities and enforcing stricter standards โ€” is a legitimate government responsibility, not โ€œinterference.โ€

Illegal Immigrant Suspect Charged In Boulder Terror Attack

Police image via Pixabay free images

Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman is now facing murder, assault and other charges following what the FBI calledย aย “targeted terror attack”ย in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend.ย 

The violence Sunday against a pro-Israel group advocating for Hamas to release Israeli hostages left eight people, ages 52 to 88, with injuries, including one in critical condition, according to the FBI. Police responded to the area after receiving reports of a man with a weapon setting people on fire. 

Soliman wasย chargedย with murder in the first degree โ€“ deliberation with intent; murder in the first degree โ€“ extreme indifference; crimes against at-risk adults/elderly; 1st degree assault โ€“ non-family; 1st degree assault โ€“ heat of passion;ย criminal attempt to commit class one and class two felonies; and use of explosives or incendiary devices during felony.

The suspect in the firebombing attack targeting a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado is believed to be an illegal alien from Egpyt who overstayed his visa after it expired.

Several people wereย injuredย Sunday afternoon at a Boulder, Colorado, rally in support of the Israelis taken hostage by Hamas terrorists after a man set people on fire whileย yellingย โ€œfree Palestineโ€ and โ€œend zionist.โ€ Police arrived at the scene and found that victims had โ€œinjuries consistent with burns and other injuries.โ€

The FBIย saidย that six people were taken to the hospital with injuries, and that a witness said the suspect in the attack โ€œused a makeshift flame thrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd.โ€

As of Monday morning, there have been no fatalities confirmed by either the FBI or Boulder Police Department. Soliman was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Sunday evening and remains held on a $10 million bond.ย 

Authorities are now investigating the firebombing attack against the pro-Israel demonstration as an act of ideologically motivated terrorism.

โ€œWe are investigating this incident as an act of terror, and targeted violence. All of the necessary assets will be dedicated to this investigation,โ€ FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a statement online. โ€œIf you have any investigative tips please contact the FBI. And if you aided or abetted this attack, we will find you. You cannot hide.โ€

โ€œThis act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts,โ€ Bongino added in a subsequent post.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard added that her agency is investigating the case.

โ€œNational Counterterrorism Center is working with the FBI and local law enforcement on the ground investigating the targeted terror attack against a weekly meeting of Jewish community members who had just gathered in Boulder, CO to raise awareness of the hostages kidnapped during Hamasโ€™ attack on Israel on Oct. 7.โ€

White House Deputy Chief of Staffย Stephen Millerย slammed the Biden administration in a post calling for โ€œsuicidal migrationโ€ to be reversed after Soliman’s visa status was revealed.
