    Report: Jeanine Pirro Turned Down The Number Two Spot At The FBI

      A new report indicates that former Fox News star and current U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro declined President Donald Trump’s invitation to serve under FBI Director Kash Patel.

      The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush reported that “Late last year, after Mr. Trump tapped Kash Patel, a podcaster with scant law enforcement experience, to be F.B.I. director, his aides approached Ms. Pirro about becoming his deputy,” citing two sources familiar with the exchange.

      But Pirro, whose legal experience includes serving as a prosecutor and judge in New York’s Westchester County, turned down the role, even though she had “tried and failed to secure a top Justice Department job” during Trump’s first term.

      The reason, according to Thrush, was Pirro had “no interest” in working for Patel.

      The job ultimately went to former Fox News contributor and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino.

      On Monday, the Justice Department announced Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will step into the Trump administration as co-deputy director of the FBI.

      Bailey, who stepped down from his role as attorney general effective September 8, will hold his newly-created position alongside current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and serve under FBI Director Kash Patel.

      Pirro went on to take over the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia, even though she “has not run a prosecutor’s office in the iPhone era,” Thrush wrote, adding that Pirro has not made it known whether she “hopes to ascend” to a bigger role in the DOJ.

      “Like many big-shot outsiders who take on medium-shot government jobs, Ms. Pirro has been aggravated by red tape, particularly requirements that she obtain approval of other officials before taking actions she would have done unilaterally as Westchester County district attorney two decades ago,” Thrush wrote.

      Pirro’s focus so far has been on stamping out violent crime in Washington, D.C.

      On Monday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Nathalie Jones, 50, of Lafayette, Indiana, was arrested in the District of Columbia on Saturday in connection with making a series of threats on social media in which she threatened to kill President Trump.

      “Hi everyone, it’s Judge Jeanine. I just wanted to let you know here from the United States Attorney’s Office in D.C. that an individual by the name of Nathalie Rose Jones is now in custody, charged with two federal crimes for knowingly and willfully threatening to take the life of the President of the United States,” Pirro said in a clip she released on social media.

      “She did come from New York to Washington, D.C. and she has been threatening and calling for the removal of the president and even worse as she got to D.C. Her threats were on Facebook and Instagram and she continued to call the president a terrorist and was working to have him eliminated. She is now in custody. She will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Make no mistake about that,” Pirro said with a hint of a smile.

      Trump To Attend Super Bowl In New Orleans

        President Trump will attend the Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans, the White House confirmed to The Hill’s partner NewsNation.

        The game, which is set for 6:30 p.m. EST, will take place at Caesars Superdome. The Kansas City Chiefs are aiming for their third Super Bowl win in a row against the Philadelphia Eagles.

        Trump congratulated the Chiefs after they won the AFC championship game to advance to the Super Bowl but didn’t comment on the Eagles’ win in the NFC championship game.

        Trump will also sit for an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, which is set to air before the game on Sunday. A sitting president granting an interview to the network broadcasting the big game has become an unofficial tradition in recent years, though former President Biden skipped the pregame chat the last two years and Trump snubbed a pregame conversation with NBC News in 2018.

        Trump would be the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl if he does make the trip to the Big Easy.

        Trump attended another big football game this year — the University of Alabama’s football game against the University of Georgia in September.

        A shocking announcement…

        President Donald Trump announced a “full and unconditional pardon” on Wednesday for Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda.

        “For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

        “Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country,” Trump continued. “Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!”

        The Texas Democrat openly criticized the Biden Administration’s open borders policy.

        In 2024, the Department of Justice under the Biden administration then indicted Cuellar and his wife in for allegedly taking roughly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-owned energy company and a Mexican bank, according to a news release at the time.

        “The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts,” the Justice Department said. “In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank.”

        Watch: Hecklers Derail Pelosi Event

          Things quickly went off the rails at an event featuring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

          The heckler interrupted Pelosi, who was speaking alongside economist Paul Krugman at The City University of New York’s Graduate Center — and accused her of having “a very bad obsession” with getting the United States into war.

          “You know Pelosi, that’s a very good place for you, in the depths of hell,” the heckler began, and continued to shout over the booing crowd as security quickly surrounded him to remove him from the venue.

          “For some reason, you have a very bad obsession of getting us into war. Hey, why is it that you did not admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq? You lied us into a war in Iraq. You got us to invade Afghanistan. Now over 90% of those people are impoverished and are dying,” he shouted. “Why don’t you tell the truth about Nordstream? You’re leaving millions of Germans without energy! You have a knack for getting us into war! People like you should be arrested. You are a war criminal!”

          Pelosi said nothing, sitting calmly on the stage and waiting for the chaos to die down — but another heckler quickly picked up where the first had left off.

          “Hey, Congresswoman! I came to see a warmonger, but you’re a sad old drunk. What happened?” the second protester asked. “When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nordstream on accident or on purpose? Did you know about that?”

          He continued to shout at her, calling her a “war criminal” as security moved to take him out as well. “How many people have died in your f***ing name? How many people have died because of Iraq?” he asked.

          Once the second protester had been removed, a third stood up, and then a fourth — each criticizing Pelosi for provoking war

          DOJ Authorizes Grand Jury Investigation Into Obama-Era Russia Probe Origins

          Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed her subordinates to convene a grand jury to investigate whether officials from former President Barack Obama’s administration politicized intelligence to falsely link Donald Trump to Russia during the 2016 election. The inquiry stems from a criminal referral submitted by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, who accused senior Obama officials of manipulating national security assessments.

          Bondi has formed a special strike force to scrutinize Gabbard’s claims, which allege a coordinated effort — rooted in the Crossfire Hurricane probe — to leverage intelligence as political ammunition. The investigation is reportedly examining figures including former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey.

          Gabbard declassified documents she says provide direct evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy” to frame Trump — a claim that contradicts past bipartisan reviews affirming Russia attempted to meddle in the election, but did not change the vote count.

          A former senior Justice Department official torched the move as a “dangerous political stunt.”

          Another former national security official pointed out that multiple investigations — including Republican-led ones — had already found no criminal misconduct tied to the origins of the Russia probe.

          “There’s no logical, rational basis for this,” the official said, speaking anonymously.

          Meanwhile, a senior Trump administration official confirmed there’s no timeline yet for the grand jury to convene — warning it could be months before proceedings formally begin.

          Fox News was the first to report on Bondi’s letter to prosecutors:

          Bondi personally ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury, which would allow the department to secure a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News Digital and a source familiar with the investigation.

          United States Department of Justice, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

          A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on the report of an investigation but said Bondi is taking the referral from Gabbard “very seriously.” The spokesperson said Bondi believed there is “clear cause for deep concern” and a need for next steps.

          The DOJ confirmed two weeks ago it received a criminal referral from Gabbard. The referral included a memorandum titled “Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing ‘Russian and criminal actors did not impact’ the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure” and asked that the DOJ open an investigation.

          No charges have been brought at this stage of the investigation against any potential defendants.

          While Obama himself enjoys presidential immunity for official acts, DOJ may focus on lower-level officials or alleged false statements to Congress — though statute of limitations could limit prosecution.

          Bondi hasn’t ruled out criminal charges if sufficient evidence emerges. For now, the scope of the investigation remains opaque.

          What to Watch Next

          • Will the grand jury lead to indictments — or stall amid immunity and timing issues?
          • How will critics respond to Bondi’s motives and whether the allegations are partisan?
          • Might a high-profile hearing or public release of documents emerge if lawmakers press for oversight?
          • Will emerging revelations around intelligence protocols impact ongoing or future probes?

          Bottom Line

          With grand jury proceedings officially underway, the DOJ marks a major escalation in the political and legal repercussions of the Russiagate era. Whether this yields accountability or deepens partisan divide depends largely on what evidence is presented — and whether immunity, timing, or lack of new corroboration stymies action.

          Debunked: ‘Twitter Files’ Expose Plot to Suppress Conservatives

            Conservative Twitter users have finally been vindicated.

            Thursday night, former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss released the second installment of the “Twitter files,” Elon Musk’s purging of Twitter’s private failures in hopes of rebuilding trust in the platforms.

            Throughout the Twitter thread, Weiss revealed how the platform previously sought to silence and suppress some conservative users and accounts by placing them on “blacklists” and flagging particular information.

            Images appeared to show that several of the accounts had been flagged with “Recent Abuse Strike” and that more basic information, such as when the accounts were “Twitter Blue Verified” or “High Profile,” had also been noted.

            Jay Bhattacharya, a health policy professor from Stanford University who opposed COVID-19 lockdowns, appeared to have been placed on a “Trends Blacklist,” as was the right-wing Libs of TikTok account, according to the photos.

            The account of conservative commentator Dan Bongino was placed on a “Search Blacklist,” while the photos showed Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk had his account marked as “Do Not Amplify.”

            Weiss also noted that Twitter previously denied depressing particular accounts. In 2018, Twitter’s then-Head of Legal Policy and Trust, Vijaya Gadde, along with then-Head of Product, Kayvon Beykpour said, “We do not shadow ban.” They added: “And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.”

            Thursday evening, Musk responded to users’ concerns and said he plans to release a new feature to combat “shadowban” concerns.

            “Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal,” Musk tweeted.

            “Most engineers don’t feel strongly about politics, but do want to work with other great engineers,” Musk added. “Silicon Valley has world’s best engineering talent, but is co-located with San Francisco, which is far left. Thus, far left gained control of an incredibly powerful info weapon.”

            Musk also responded to a question about whether “any political candidates — either in the US or elsewhere — [were] subject to shadowbanning while they were running for office or seeking re-election” by answering, “Yes.”

            Former NBC Host Chuck Todd Suggests a Trump Family Member Could Emerge as GOP Nominee in 2028

            Former “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd says he believes the possibility of another member of the Trump family seeking the White House in 2028 should not be dismissed.

            During a discussion posted Tuesday on social platform X, Todd examined odds from FanDuel’s prediction market regarding potential Republican presidential contenders and suggested that a Trump family member could ultimately emerge as a serious candidate.

            “I’d prefer a flyer on somebody with the last name of Trump,” Todd said.

            Todd specifically mentioned several members of the president’s family, including Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Lara Trump, the former Republican National Committee co-chair who is married to Eric Trump and currently hosts a program on Fox News.

            “Any of those four, none of them are 0 percent chances in my head,” Todd added.

            Watch:

            While Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are widely viewed as leading contenders for the Republican nomination once President Donald Trump leaves office, Todd’s comments reflect ongoing speculation about the Trump family’s continued influence within the GOP.

            Recent polling suggests Vance and Rubio remain the early frontrunners in a hypothetical 2028 Republican primary. An Emerson College survey found Vance narrowly leading Rubio, 36 percent to 35 percent, among Republican voters.

            President Trump himself recently fueled discussion about the party’s future during a podcast appearance, where he floated the idea of Vance and Rubio running together on a Republican ticket in 2028.

            “I don’t know how you beat them if they’re together,” Trump said. “That would be a great team.”

            Although Trump stopped short of endorsing either man as his preferred successor, his comments highlighted the growing attention being paid to the next generation of Republican leadership.

            At the same time, members of the Trump family continue to maintain high public profiles. Donald Trump Jr. remains one of the president’s most active political surrogates, while Lara Trump has expanded her media presence and remains popular among many grassroots conservatives. Ivanka Trump has largely stepped away from politics since her father left office in 2021 but continues to generate interest whenever her political future is discussed.

            The prospect of another Trump family member seeking national office remains speculative, and none of the individuals mentioned by Todd have formally indicated plans to run for president. However, the family’s enduring influence over the Republican Party has led political observers to continue viewing them as potential factors in the post-Trump era.

            Todd’s remarks come as Republicans increasingly look ahead to the 2028 election cycle, even as President Trump continues serving his second term and remains the dominant figure within the party.

            Politician Who Left The Democrat Party Endorses Trump For President

            Another Democrat is calling it quits and backing Donald Trump for President…

            A Texas state lawmaker from the Houston area announced Friday that she is leaving the “almost unrecognizable” Democratic Party.

            In an announcement Friday, State Rep. Shawn Tierry explained that she made the switch because the Democratic Party has “veered so far left, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support,” the Texas Tribune reported.

            “As a woman, a mother, and a lawmaker, I have dedicated my life to championing the values that fortify our families and uplift our communities. After much reflection, prayer, and soul-searching, I have come to a decision that aligns with my core values and the best interests of our beloved country,” Tierry further explained in an X post.

            “For my entire adult life, I have voted as a Democrat. I was raised in a household with my amazing parents who believed the Democratic Party was the party of the people—a beacon of justice and opportunity for all,” she continued. “But as the years have passed, I have watched with dismay as the party I once knew has drifted far from its roots. It has become almost unrecognizable—radicalized and increasingly out of touch with the values that millions of everyday Americans hold dear.”

            Thierry also noted how the left stifles debate, silences dissent, and demands “blind allegiance to ideology.”

            The former Democrat received a standing ovation on Friday night when she formally announced her decision at a Moms For Liberty event.

            “The Democratic Party has moved so far back, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support. Policies like promoting sex changes for vulnerable children, dismantling Title IX protections for women and girls in sports. This is not the party that I grew up with,” Thierry explained.

            “And so it’s today, at such a time as this, that I am officially announcing that I am leaving the race and the life of the Democratic Party.”

            Thierry was recently defeated in a primary election after she voted to ban gender reassignment surgeries for children and bar biological men from competing in women’s sports.

            Trump Asks Court To Throw Out Remnants of ‘Legally Unsound’ Fraud Case

            President Trump has asked New York’s highest court to dismiss the remaining findings and penalties in the state’s civil fraud case against him, arguing that the lawsuit brought by Attorney General Letitia James was legally flawed and politically motivated.

            In a 119-page filing submitted Wednesday to the New York Court of Appeals, Trump’s attorneys described the case as an “unprecedented” use of the attorney general’s authority and urged the court to fully overturn it.

            “This Court should put an end to this politically motivated action,” his lawyers wrote.

            James filed the civil lawsuit in 2022, accusing Trump and his family business of inflating the value of their assets to secure more favorable loan and insurance terms. The case became one of the most significant legal challenges Trump has faced, threatening both his public image as a successful real estate developer and the future of the Trump Organization. It also elevated James as one of Trump’s most prominent political and legal adversaries.

            The case has taken a complex path through the courts. After a bench trial, Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for fraud and imposed a $464 million judgment, which grew to more than $500 million with interest. Engoron also barred Trump from serving in top roles at New York companies for three years, imposed two-year bans on his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and appointed an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization’s business practices.

            However, a mid-level appellate court later struck down the financial penalty as excessive, removing the largest monetary consequence while leaving the liability finding and other restrictions in place. The appellate judges were sharply divided in their ruling.

            Despite that partial victory, Trump’s legal team is now seeking to eliminate the remaining penalties and the underlying liability determination. His lawyers acknowledged the “unusual posture” of the appeal, since the prior ruling largely benefited him, but argued that the decision still rests on an “erroneous finding” that must be reversed.

            “This unprecedented and legally unsound case is about far more than President Trump,” his lawyers said, arguing that James stretched a New York law targeting “persistent fraud or illegality” beyond its intended use.

            “If left on the books, the mistaken legal rulings below threaten New York’s position as the Nation’s financial capital, as well as the State’s commercial real-estate industry,” they added.

            The New York attorney general’s office, which has also appealed aspects of the appellate ruling, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

            The appeal comes amid a broader and highly contentious legal and political battle between Trump and James. During the period between Trump’s presidential terms, James secured a major civil fraud ruling against him, while Trump and his allies have repeatedly accused her of pursuing politically motivated cases.

            More recently, Trump administration officials have sought to pursue criminal cases against James. She was indicted last fall on mortgage fraud allegations, but a federal judge dismissed the charges, finding that the prosecutor who brought the case had been unlawfully appointed. Prosecutors later sought two additional indictments, but grand juries declined to bring charges.

            Trump’s latest appeal now asks the state’s highest court to bring the long-running civil case to a close by wiping out the remaining findings and penalties that continue to affect him and his business.

            Trump Now Has One Less Primary Rival

            Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has dropped out of the Republican presidential primary. The mayor suspended his campaign a week after he failed to qualify for the first Republican presidential debate.

            “Running for President of the United States has been one of the greatest honors of my life. This country has given so much to my family and me. The prospect of giving back at the highest levels of public service is a motivator if not a calling,” Suarez said in a statement. “Throughout this process, I have met so many freedom-loving Americans who care deeply about our nation, her people, and its future. It was a privilege to come so close to appearing on stage with the other candidates at last week’s first debate.”

            Suarez was the only Hispanic candidate on either side in the race for the White House.

            Suarez launched his campaign a little over two months ago, attempting to mimic Ronald Reagan’s big tent policy.

            Per CNBC:

            Suarez, a Cuban American, touted his Hispanic heritage and billed himself as a unifier in a politically polarized country. He also ran on his record courting the tech industry to invest in Miami, and leaned into his pro-cryptocurrency views by accepting campaign donations in bitcoin.

            “I will continue to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community – the fastest-growing voting group in our country,” Suarez said in Tuesday’s post.

            “I look forward to keeping in touch with the other Republican presidential candidates and doing what I can to make sure our party puts forward a strong nominee who can inspire and unify the country, renew Americans’ trust in our institutions and in each other, and win,” he wrote.

            Suarez was the third Republican from Florida to run for the 2024 presidential nomination, sharing that trait with Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But while Trump has loosed a relentless barrage of attacks against the governor, the former president rarely, if ever, mentioned the mayor.
