    Released DOJ Search Warrant For Trump’s Twitter Account Reveals Broader Investigation

      Back in August, Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s X/Twitter account despite pushback from the social media giant.

      The initial resistance prompted a federal judge to hold the company in contempt and issue a $350,000 fine.

      Eventually, the social media company now known as X complied (after the court-ordered deadline) but was prohibited from telling Trump about it.

      An unsealed indictment revealed that Smith’s team cited Trump’s tweets while outlining his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

      But that’s not at, as Twitchy reports:

      More is now known about the warrant, and you might not be shocked to know this was about more than just Trump:

      These people are completely out of control:

      ‘MyPillow Guy’ Mike Lindell Loses Dominion Defamation Case

      Despite suffering a major loss in court on Monday, MyPillow founder and staunch Trump loyalist Mike Lindell is remaining positive.

      A federal jury in Colorado on Monday afternoon found MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell liable for defamation, siding with a former Dominion Voting Systems employee who alleged that the Donald Trump loyalist caused real-world harm with 2020 stolen election conspiracies he aired at his 2021 “cyber symposium,” an event that also proved costly for Lindell in the form of an ill-fated and boomeranging “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge.”

      In the end, the jury found Lindell liable for defaming Dr. Eric Coomer, along with his company FrankSpeech for participating in a civil conspiracy to do the same, leaving the MyPillow CEO on the hook for $2.3 million — a far cry from the $60-plus million Coomer’s team asked for but nonetheless a loss for Lindell, according to Kyle Clark of 9NEWS.

      It wasn’t a total loss for Lindell, however, as MyPillow escaped liability — reportedly as Coomer’s legal team requested.

      In an interview with former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani on LindellTV after the verdict, Lindell offered his reaction, saying: “It was awesome.”

      “I hope Mike doesn’t feel too down. He never does,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said as he kicked it to Lindell for a statement.

      “It was awesome,” Lindell told Giuliani.

      He also called the judgment a “huge victory for our country,” adding that, “MyPillow was sued for no reason and they won.”

      “All the pillow companies have to be happy because now they can’t be sued for libel.”

      Watch:

      Lindell had long maintained that he has “done nothing wrong,” that he truly believes his claims about the election, and that both he and his allies have instead been persecuted and subjected to “lawfare” for simply asking questions about the integrity of the 2020 election, in violation of their First Amendment rights.

      In a video and post shared Monday on X ahead of the verdict, Lindell remarked upon the gravity of his situation: “Today the jury decides.”

      “I really believe, God willing, that this will be the gateway to securing our elections, bringing back free speech and the American dream, and saving our country,” he said, before asking his supporters for prayers and directing them to the website for his legal defense fund.

          Vice President JD Vance’s vacation in the English Cotswolds was protested by residents on Tuesday, who carried altered images of the vice president’s face and signs that read, “GO AWAY.”

          At a demonstration organized by the “Stop Trump Coalition,” protesters could be seen carrying signs that read, “GO AWAY,” “SOD OFF!” “WAR CRIMINAL,” “JD Vance Claps When the Plane Lands,” and “Cotswold Childless Cat Ladies Say Go Home.”

          Protesters also carried edited images of Vance’s face and Palestinian flags, with one man wearing a t-shirt which read, “Tiny Dick Tator.”

          “JD Vance, shame on you!” the protesters could be heard chanting.

          A political campaign group called “Everyone Hates Elon” also drove a van around the area of the vice president’s vacation, displaying the same edited image of Vance’s face on a screen.

          “He’s on his holiday. I normally wouldn’t protest against people on their holiday, but there’s clearly a political angle to this,” one protester told The Guardian. “You know, he spent the weekend with our foreign secretary and so I think that means, you know, anything goes, really. I think, you know, you have to be respectful of people, but at the same time, he’s here, he’s carrying out political business, and it’s appropriate to carry out a po

          Report: Obama Admin. ‘Manufactured’ Intelligence To Establish Russian Collusion Narrative

          Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday released a cache of newly declassified documents that she says contain “overwhelming evidence” showing how the Obama administration laid the foundation for the yearslong investigation into alleged collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia—despite intelligence assessments that contradicted key claims.

          The declassified material includes a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) prepared on December 8, 2016, by the Department of Homeland Security in coordination with the CIA, FBI, NSA, State Department, and others. That report stated explicitly: “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”

          The PDB also confirmed that although Russian-linked hackers likely compromised a voter registration database in Illinois and attempted similar efforts in other states, those actions were deemed “highly unlikely” to have changed any state’s official vote results. The assessment emphasized that the real aim appeared to be psychological—undermining confidence in the electoral system—rather than directly influencing the outcome.

          Earlier intelligence assessments leading up to the 2016 election echoed this view, consistently stating that Russia was “probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means.”

          Internal FBI communications show that the bureau raised concerns about the December 8 PDB, drafting a formal dissent and urging the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to delay publication. The brief, originally scheduled for release on December 9, was held back following “new guidance,” according to redacted internal ODNI emails.

          A White House Situation Room meeting convened that same day—December 9, 2016—brought together senior national security officials to address the sensitive issue. A source familiar with the meeting confirmed that the unpublished version of the PDB clearly stated there was no Russian impact on the election outcome through cyberattacks.

          Despite these internal conclusions, top Obama-era officials allegedly leaked conflicting information to the press, suggesting Russia had interfered in the election and possibly swayed the outcome—a narrative that helped ignite the Trump-Russia investigation.

          The declassified documents also point to the now-discredited Steele Dossier as a key influence in shaping the subsequent Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). Officials acknowledged that some of the information used in that assessment was “manufactured” or “deemed not credible” at the time it was circulated.

          Further, sources told Fox News Digital that key agencies—such as the FBI and NSA—had expressed “low confidence” in attributing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) email leaks to the Russian government, even as the ICA concluded otherwise.

          Gabbard characterized the entire episode as a “treasonous conspiracy,” accusing senior Obama-era officials of weaponizing intelligence and launching a coordinated campaign to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency

          “This is not a partisan issue,” Gabbard told Fox News Digital. “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup.”

          She warned that the actions of these officials represent “an egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution,” which she believes undermines the integrity of the democratic system itself.

          Gabbard and ODNI officials indicated that further investigation is ongoing and that more declassified materials may be released in the coming months.

          Texas Rep. Targets Trump In Unhinged Rant During Rally Event

            Texas Congressman Jasime Crockett unleashed an unhinged anti-Trump rant during a weekend event.

            Crockett joined fellow Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) for the rally held by the political advocacy group to inspire voters ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

            Ahead of her slam on Trump, the congresswoman said in the clip flagged by Mediaite she’s confident that a Democratic candidate will win the 2028 presidential election, and laid out the strategy the party should have to secure that victory.

            “But what are we going to need to do then?” she asked. “For me, it’s getting aggressive.”

            “Now listen, I’m not going to say that’s what we’re going to do, but I’m telling y’all what my vision’s [going to] be,” she continued, pointing to limiting the Supreme Court, which she called “corrupt.”

            She then used the expletive against Trump but argued that it’s Congress and the high court that need to be reined in because they’re the institutions allowing him to implement his agenda.

            “But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit,” she said.

            President Donald Trump hit back at Democrat lawmaker on Tuesday, calling her “a very low IQ person” during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” 

            “I won the election in a landslide,” Trump said. “And obviously that’s only, you know, we’re only six months in, but my poll numbers are better now, much better than during the election. Part of that is because the Democrat Party is self-destructing. I mean, when you have low IQ, people like Crockett, I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.” 

            Trump said Crockett was “one of the leaders” of the Democrat Party, which he argued was “lost.” 

            “But you have this woman, Crockett, she’s a very low IQ person,” the president said. “Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding. Are they? The Democrats are lost. They have Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going. [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer is finished. Schumer look, I watched him the other day. He’s lost all of his confidence.”

            Newsom Says California to Draw Congressional Maps to ‘END TRUMP PRESIDENCY’

            It’s on…

            California Governor Gavin Newsom is moving forward to draw new congressional lines in the Golden State that will aim to threaten Donald Trump’s presidency according to a blistering new attack.

            “DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS,’ THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!),” Newsom wrote Tuesday night, in a post written in the style of President Donald Trump’s occasionally all-caps social media posts.

            The announcement comes amid Texas Republicans’ efforts to redraw congressional maps in their party’s favor. The redistricting showdown in Texas has led blue states to threaten to retaliate — with Newsom proposing to cut five GOP-held seats in California.

            The redistricting battle in Texas — and potentially other states — has national implications, with control of the U.S. House potentially at stake. The Texas GOP’s proposed congressional map could net Republicans between three and five seats in next year’s midterm elections — seats that could make a difference as Republicans work to maintain their small majority in the U.S. House.

            A spokesperson for California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas confirmed to ABC News that the state legislature is aiming to release draft maps on Friday.

            Newsom sent a letter to Trump on Monday asking the president to tell Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republican governors to abandon efforts to draw new congressional maps. Texas Democrats have fled the state in protest of the maps.

            The Texas House of Representatives was once again unable to reach a quorum Tuesday. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows said that the House will convene once again on Friday, adding if there’s no quorum by then, Abbott will adjourn the current session and call a second special session to begin immediately.

            The Texas Attorney General is working towards throwing Democrat politician Beto O’Rourke behind bars over his role in helping fundraise for the Democrats who fled the Lone Star State earlier this month.

            In a statement released Tuesday, AG Ken Paxton said O’Rourke “blatantly” violated a restraining order when he continued to raise money for the lawmakers who fled Texas amid a contentious redestricting battle.

            Over the weekend, a Texas judge blocked O’Rourke from fundraising for the runaway Dems. (RELATED: Texas Judge Stops Beto O’Rourke From Aiding Runaway Democrats)

            District Court Judge Megan Fahey, who was appointed in 2019 by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, wrote in Friday’s order that she believes O’Rourke and his group “have and will continue to engage in unlawful fundraising practices and utilization of political funds” that either violates or causes the Democrats to violate state law and House rules.

            Evoking the almost 200-year-old Texas refrain “Come and Take It,” Paxton celebrated the ruling in a statement.

            “Today, I stopped his deceptive financial influence scheme that attempted to deceive donors and subvert our constitutional process. They told me to ‘come and take it,’ so I did,’” said Paxton, who is challenging U.S. Sen. John Cornyn for his Senate seat in next year’s GOP primary.

            Tulsi and Trump just exposed Obama’s SECRET DIARY: a blueprint for the Radical Left’s war on America. President Trump will NEVER give up on his fight to Make America Great Again. We Need MAGA patriots to stand and fight [DONATE NOW]

            Longtime ACU/CPAC Leader David Keene Speaks Out After Vice-Chair’s Resignation

            Longtime Conservative leader Charlie Gerow has resigned as Vice Chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU/CPAC) and as a Board Member of the ACU Foundation (ACUF).

            His resignation follows several recent resignations of other officers and directors of ACU/CPAC/ACUF.

            Like other former directors and officers, Gerow cited growing concerns with the sexual battery charges against ACU/CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp, financial questions, and internal management problems.

            Gerow’s resignation comes on the heels of the organization’s Treasurer, former Congressman Bob Beauprez’s resignation 3 months ago who brought up questions of financial and office mismanagement in his letter to the Board of Directors. POLITICO.com also reported earlier today that attorney Tim Ryan also resigned earlier this week.

            In resigning, Gerow issued the following statement:

            “It is with deep sadness and true regret that I have joined several of my colleagues in resigning from the Board of ACU/CPAC. I have consistently exercised my fiduciary duties to the organization and have always done my very best to fulfill all of my responsibilities to this very vital organization. I know I have done the right things.
            It was a great honor to serve the conservative movement in my leadership roles at CPAC/ACU/ACUF and I will continue to pray that the difficulties they are encountering will be dealt with openly and honestly.
            Although I will not now be able to participate in the August Board meeting, I am calling on my former colleagues to authorize an independent investigation into the charges against Matt Schlapp, to conduct an independent forensic audit of the organization’s finances, to obtain a written opinion of counsel that the organization is in full compliance with its own by-laws and all applicable law and to thoroughly review all the exit interviews of the large number of staff who have recently left CPAC/ACU/ACUF.”

            Gerow also cited his long record of service to the conservative cause.

            The loss of Gerow is a great one for the ACU and the conservative movement as a whole.

            Former ACU Chairman David A. Keene spoke exclusively to American Liberty News this evening about Gerow’s decision to depart his role on the CPAC board.

            “Charlie has always spoken the truth as he sees it, and is a valuable part of both the ACU and the conservative movement as a whole. It is a shame that he feels that he can not be a part of it any longer.”

            Keene served as Chairman of the ACU Board from 1984 to 2011 and his term overlapped with both Schalpp and Gerow’s respective tenure on the board. Keene was succeeded in his role as board Chairman by Al Cardenas, who served in the role until 2014. Schlapp has been Chairman for nearly a decade since then, when he was unanimously elected to the position.

            Keene also noted that CPAC has changed in the era of Schlapp’s chairmanship and that the loss of Gerow is the severing of a link to the original Reagan era of the organization. Once, the annual CPAC conference was a gathering place for conservatives of all stripes. Keene observed that in the past dozen years, the event evolved into “more of a show than a conference” drawing many more corporate sponsors than traditionally conservative grassroots organizations and think tanks. In the past several years, it has been an event showcasing the likes of 45th President Donald Trump and Schlapp himself.

            When asked if those golden days of CPAC can be returned to, Keene stated that the possibility exists, but that it would take “new leadership” to go back to a time when a more diverse group of conservatives could call CPAC home. Still, Keene believes that the gathering is a “vital part of the conservative experience” and those in charge have an obligation to make sure it stays that way.

            The Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, Raheem Kassam noted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that “Matt Schlapp has single-handedly made CPAC an irrelevant and corrupt sideshow.  He HAS TO GO.”

            CPAC responded tweeting: “CPAC remains committed to compliance. Having a board that is unified toward the goal of defeating the left and winning on important issues and the next election is critical to saving America.”

            In February of this year, the Washington Post reported that “Schlapp received a $150,000 payment in 2021 for ‘business services’ and he started receiving annual compensation of $600,000 in mid-2022 according to tax documents.” Those records also show that his wife Mercedes received $175,000 for “strategic communications”, per the Post.

            It remains unclear if the remaining board members will support an investigation into Schlapp’s alleged misconduct in the wake of the recent resignations.

            Biden To Make Unannounced Visit To Walter Reed Hospital

              On Wednesday, President Biden revealed that he is making an unannounced trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a physical exam.

              Earlier this month, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, does not believe a cognitive test is necessary. She said O’Connor believes Biden proves his cognitive ability “every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.” 

              “Does the White House think that the idea of the president taking a cognitive test as a part of this physical is a legitimate idea?” a reporter asked.

              “I’m just gonna say what Dr. O’Connor said to me about a year ago when [Biden’s physical] was released,” Jean-Pierre responded. “The president proves every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks, by dealing with world leaders, by making difficult decisions on behalf of the American people – whether it’s domestic or it’s national security.”

              Biden received his last physical on Feb. 16 of last year, when his physician gave him a clean bill of health in a letter that said Biden was “fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”

              The Wednesday physical will likely be the final update on Biden’s health before the November presidential elections.

              Walter Reed, the hospital used by all presidents for routine medical care and examinations, is located in Bethesda, Maryland.

              The President’s health and age have been contentious topics throughout his presidency.

              DOGE Terminates Lease At Obama Presidential Library Site

                The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has terminated the lease at the Obama Presidential Library site, although it is unlikely to impact operations there since it is due to shutter later this year and move to a new location.

                The library is located in Hoffman Estates in the northwest of Chicago and is separate to the sprawling 19.3-acre Obama Presidential Center near Jackson Park in the southside of Chicago which is under construction and is expected to be completed next year.

                The site at Hoffman Estates is run by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), as are all presidential libraries, while the Obama Presidential Center is a private venture being overseen by the Obama Foundation. 

                DOGE this week updated its list of nearly 750 federal lease terminations, totaling around 9.6 million square feet in size, which included the Hoffman Estates site. The agency, which has been tasked by President Donald Trump to cut wasteful federal spending, said the terminations will save the taxpayer $468 million in lease savings.

                The DOGE website did not provide a timetable for the closures, although a NARA spokesperson told Fox News Digital the Hoffman Estates library was scheduled to close in late Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and move to College Park in Maryland. The government’s FY 2025 runs through Sept. 30, 2025.

                Currently at Hoffman Estates are also 35,000 physical artifacts, including gifts given to the Obamas. The library, a converted former furniture showroom, also houses former President Barack Obama’s silver BlackBerry, the draft of Obama’s first inaugural speech he wrote on a paper pad, a signed Pittsburgh Steelers football, a jeweled sword from Saudi Arabia and dresses worn by former first lady Michelle Obama.

                Those artifacts will also be sent to Maryland and occasionally lent to the Obama Presidential Center, the Chicago Tribune reports.

                NARA began leasing the building in 2016, paying $1.4 million each year in rent, according to the Chicago Tribune, citing the General Services Administration, which runs the government’s real estate portfolio.

                The Obama Presidential Library is expected to open some time next year and has been plagued by delays and cost overruns. It was initially expected to cost $350 million but that figure ballooned to $830 million in 2021. It is unclear what the total costs will be. 

                It will consist of a 235-foot tower museum, a branch of the Chicago Public Library, conference facilities, a gymnasium and a regulation-sized NBA court. It will also house the nonprofit Obama Foundation, which is overseeing the center’s development.
