    Republican Demands Bondi Appear Before Congress for Monitoring Epstein Searches

    Republican lawmakers are escalating scrutiny of Attorney General Pam Bondi following a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing this week, with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) now calling on Bondi to testify before the House Oversight Committee over concerns about how sensitive materials are being handled inside the Department of Justice.

    Mace led the charge Friday morning, arguing that questions raised during Wednesday’s hearing warrant further examination by lawmakers.

    During that hearing, a photographer captured an image of Bondi holding a folder that appeared to display search records connected to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) within the Justice Department’s Epstein files database. Members of Congress were granted access to portions of those files two days earlier amid ongoing public pressure for transparency surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

    “In the Judiciary Committee, she had a folder open, and you saw an image of a search history of a member of Congress in the software in the database,” Mace said in an interview circulating Friday. “Why is the DOJ — why is the attorney general carrying around a folder of the search histories of members of Congress who only simply want the truth? She should answer for that, and I think she should come before the Oversight Committee, because I have a lot of tough questions.”

    Mace framed the issue as one of accountability and equal treatment under the law, signaling that Republicans intend to continue pressing the Justice Department over how it is managing and tracking access to the highly sensitive Epstein materials.

    The Judiciary hearing itself was marked by sharp exchanges between Bondi and several Democratic lawmakers, who accused the department of withholding information and mishandling aspects of the long-running Epstein investigation. Republicans, meanwhile, have emphasized the need to fully expose any failures connected to the case and to ensure that political considerations do not interfere with the release of relevant records.

    At one point during the hearing, Jayapal urged Bondi to apologize directly to victims of Epstein who were seated in the room. Bondi declined, accusing the congresswoman of engaging in “theatrics” rather than focusing on substantive oversight.

    The exchange underscored the broader partisan divide surrounding the Epstein files, which have fueled public distrust across the political spectrum.

    It remains unclear whether the House Oversight Committee will formally request Bondi’s testimony. However, Mace’s public demand signals that Republican lawmakers are not finished pressing the attorney general for answers as the Epstein controversy continues to reverberate through Congress.

    Dem Strategist Admits 2024 Trump Could Win 2024 As Kamala Labels Herself ‘The Underdog’

      Democrats shouldn’t get too comfortable…

      Despite Kamala Harris’ recent gains a longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod still says that if the 2024 election were held today Donald Trump would more than likely come out on top.

      “But this is still a very competitive race. If the election were today, I’m not sure who would win and I think it may well be President Trump because it’s an Electoral College fight,” Axelrod said.

      “I’ve said several times here that, you know, for Democrat to win those battleground states, they have to have a significant lead in the Electoral College,” he continued. “Remember, Joe Biden won by seven million votes nationally last time, and a margin of 45,000 votes or 44,000 votes in the three closest battleground states combined.”

      The Hill noted that while tens of millions of Americans will vote in the general election this fall, about a half-dozen of critical swing states will likely determine the race.

      “So, she’s [Harris] right to be telling people it’s good to be enthusiastic, that enthusiasm is really, really important for the Democratic Party,” Axelrod added. “But you have to turn that into energetic action in order to win the election. I think that’s going to be part of what you hear here.”

      Harris is leading Trump by 3 points nationally, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll released on Sunday. The poll showed Harris at 51 percent and Trump at 48 percent while the two were tied at 50 percent in the battleground states.

      The vice president was asked about the poll on Sunday and whether she still considers herself the underdog in the race.

      “I very much consider us the underdog. We have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the American people,” she said.

      The vice president added, “That’s why we’re on this bus tour today, and we’re going to be traveling this country as we’ve been, and talking with folks, listening to folks and hopefully earning their votes over the next 79 days.”

      Appeals Court Disqualifies Trump Appointee Alina Habba

        An appellate court ruled Monday that Alina Habba is unlawfully serving as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor—marking a setback for President Donald Trump as he works to keep his preferred nominees leading U.S. attorney offices in Democrat-run states.

        The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed a lower court’s decision to disqualify Habba, a loyal Trump ally who previously served as the president’s personal attorney.

        The Trump administration can still request a rehearing before the full Third Circuit or appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

        A three-judge Third Circuit panel heard arguments in October and questioned a DOJ lawyer over the unusual process by which Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi reinstated Habba after her initial temporary term expired.

        Habba is one of several Trump-aligned nominees who have faced legal challenges from opponents claiming the administration bypassed the Senate and made use of federal vacancy laws in ways they argue were improper. While Habba’s case has advanced the furthest, Lindsey Halligan in Virginia and Bill Essayli in California also face court battles over their temporary appointments.

        The panel included two judges appointed by President George W. Bush and one appointed by President Barack Obama.

        During arguments, the judges pressed DOJ attorney Henry Whitaker on Bondi’s authority to replace a court-appointed U.S. attorney after Trump removed him. Whitaker defended the administration’s approach, saying it followed the legal paths available.

        “In this case, the executive branch admittedly took a series of precise and precisely timed steps not to evade or circumvent those mechanisms but rather to be scrupulously careful to comply with them,” Whitaker said.

        One judge suggested the situation raised constitutional concerns, asking: “Would you concede that the sequence of events here, and for me, they’re unusual, would you concede that there are serious constitutional implications to your theory here, the government’s theory, which really is a complete circumvention, it seems, of the appointments clause?”

        Veteran D.C. attorney Abbe Lowell—well-known for challenging the Trump administration—represented the defendants who argued Habba’s appointment was invalid.

        Those defendants, facing routine federal charges, contend that because Habba was not legally serving as U.S. attorney, she should not be permitted to prosecute their cases.

        Former FBI Director Indicted But Trump Remarks Signal Potential Problems

        A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey.

        Comey was reportedly indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly lying under oath to Congress. The 12 grand jurors reportedly declined to indict on additional charges.

        Comey declared he’s “not afraid” in a video posted to his Instagram responding to his historic indictment on two charges.

        “My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either,” began Comey. “Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant and she’s right. But I’m not afraid and I hope you’re not either. I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.”

        “My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I’m innocent,” he concluded. “So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.”

        Comey’s son-in-law, a senior federal prosecutor, abruptly resigned Thursday just hours after the former FBI director was indicted on charges of false statements and obstruction.

        Troy A. Edwards Jr., a national security prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, stepped down Thursday night with a brief note to his boss.

        “To uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately,” Edwards wrote in the letter, posted to X.

        The case follows the firing of Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who has since sued the Justice Department, claiming retaliation tied to her family name.

        President Donald Trump unloaded on James Comey, deeming him a “destroyer of lives” in an early morning Truth Social post Friday that also saw him brand the former FBI director a “DIRTY COP.”

        On Friday morning, the president unleashed on Comey as “corrupt,” insisting that the former FBI boss “lied” in his testimony and demanding he pay “a very big price”:

        Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute. He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question. He just got unexpectedly caught. James “Dirty Cop” Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT

        Trump followed minutes later with an all caps quip:

        JAMES COMEY IS A DIRTY COP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

        Since the indictment, some legal analysts have warned that Trump’s social media posts about Comey could arm the defense with an argument for a selective prosecution motion to dismiss the indictment.

        ‘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.

        RFK Jr. Blocked From New York Ballot As Supreme Court Declines Appeal

        Residence Questioned by Courts

        Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be listed as a presidential candidate on the New York state ballot after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to reinstate his name. Lower courts determined that Kennedy’s address in Katonah, New York, did not qualify as his fixed and permanent residence, leading to his exclusion from the ballot.

        Kennedy’s legal team argued that removing him from the ballot would deprive his New York supporters of their right to vote for him. They emphasized that no evidence suggested voters had been misled about his candidacy. Despite these arguments, the Supreme Court declined to issue an emergency injunction.

        Opposition from New York Attorney General

        The emergency request to reinstate Kennedy’s name faced strong opposition from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office. Her team argued that the state had already mailed absentee ballots and the certification deadline had passed, making it too late to add his name back to the ballot. The court’s refusal marks a significant setback for Kennedy’s campaign efforts in New York.

        Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign last month and endorsed former President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House. Since then, he has worked to remove his name from ballots in critical swing states while keeping it on in others, triggering a series of legal battles.

        This Supreme Court appeal marked Kennedy’s first attempt to remain on the New York ballot, but he isn’t the first candidate to face such a challenge. Earlier this month, the Green Party’s candidate, Jill Stein, also failed to secure a spot on Nevada’s ballot after the Supreme Court denied a similar emergency request.

        New York Polls: Kamala Harris Leads Trump

        Despite Kennedy’s exclusion from the ballot, the latest Siena College poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by 13 points in a direct matchup in New York. Pollster Steven Greenberg noted that although New York remains solidly blue, the margin isn’t as wide as in recent presidential cycles.

        “Despite the Democratic convention, the debate and numerous other events during the six weeks between Siena College polls, there has been little movement in the horse race or in either candidate’s favorability rating. While the race appears largely static, Harris did pick up support among Latino voters, leading Trump 56-39%, up from 48-47% in August,” Greenberg noted. “Independents moved further in Trump’s direction, supporting him over Harris 58-34%, up from 47-40% last month. Interestingly, New York’s independent voters moved significantly in the Republican direction across several questions that will be on the ballot.”

        “New Yorkers trust Harris more than Trump on abortion, democracy and the economy, and trust them equally on immigration. But there are huge partisan divides. Democrats trust Harris on all four issues by between 76 and 89 percent, and Republicans trust Trump by between 76 and 89 percent,” the Siena College pollster continued. “While independents trust Harris more on abortion by 50-42%, they trust Trump more on the other three by between 15 and 34 points.”

        In previous elections, Democrats have won New York by at least 18 points. President Biden carried the state by 23 points in 2020. In a multi-candidate race, Harris’ lead drops slightly to 12 points.

        Report: Trump Leading In 6 Swing States

          It’s the economy, stupid…

          The latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult survey shows former President Donald Trump leading his successor in six of seven all-important swing states.

          Responses from a substantial sample of around 5,000 registered voters reveal Trump leading in Arizona (49% to 42%), Georgia (49% to 43%), Nevada (51% to 43%), North Carolina (51% to 41%), Pennsylvania (47% to 46%) and Wisconsin (48% to 44%). The poll shows President Biden leads Trump by 2 points in Michigan (47% to 45%).

          Seventy percent of respondents said the economy was heading in an unfavorable direction. A further 82% said the state of the economy would be of “great importance” in influencing their vote.

          America’s News Desk breaks down the results even further:

          Additionally, 54% of Americans hold the belief that inflation will worsen by the end of the year, while 17% are of the opinion that it will improve.

          Under the Biden administration, inflation has persisted at a high level, resulting in consumers facing increased costs for essential items such as food and gasoline.

          Last month, a political action group supporting Trump unveiled a website called “Biden-Mart” that focuses on the significant rise in food costs.

          Deep economic pessimism and Biden’s inverted favorability ratings more than make up for Trump’s 43.4% average favorability rating, according to the latest polls.

          Prosecutor Drops Trump Georgia Election Case

            On Wednesday, President Trump’s criminal prosecution in Georgia came to an abrupt end when the prosecutor who took over the case announced he would not move forward. 

            Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council who took over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s 2020 election subversion case against Trump and several allies, filed a motion indicating to the judge that he is declining to prosecute them further.  

            “The political persecution of President Trump by disqualified DA Fani Willis is finally over. This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare,” Trump’s lead Georgia defense counsel Steve Sadow said.

            The Hill reports:

            “It is on life support and the decision what to do with it falls on me and me alone,” Skandalakis wrote in a 22-page memo submitted to the court Wednesday. “But unlike family members who must make the emotional decision to withdraw loved ones from life-sustaining treatment, I have no emotional connection to this case.” 

            “As a former elected official who ran as both a Democrat and a Republican and now is the Executive Director of a non-partisan agency, this decision is not guided by a desire to advance an agenda but is based on my beliefs and understanding of the law,” he continued. 

            Trump has repeatedly said the “whole case has been a disgrace to justice.” 

            “It was started by the Biden DOJ as an attack on his political opponent, Donald Trump,” Trump said in a previous interview with Fox News, “They used anyone and anybody, and she has been disqualified, and her boyfriend has been disqualified, and they stole funds and went on trips.” 

            Trump said the case “should not be allowed to go any further.” 

            “There is no way such corrupt people can lead a case, and then it gets taken over by somebody else,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “It was a corrupt case, so how could it be taken over by someone else?”

            Supreme Court Intervenes In Trump Plan To Fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook

            The Supreme Court stopped President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook on Wednesday, pausing her removal until the court can hear the case.

            The Supreme Court denied Trump’s request and said Cook can remain in her position through January, when the court is likely to make a final ruling on the issue.

            Trump fired Cook from her position after his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, accused her of mortgage fraud

            The update comes roughly two weeks after Trump officials appealed the case to the high court for emergency review. 

            Oral arguments are expected to be closely watched, given the unprecedented nature of the case, and the seismic shift that any ruling could have on U.S. economic decisions. 

            In appealing the case to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the Trump administration argued that the Fed’s “uniquely important role” in the U.S. economy only heightens the government’s and public’s interest in reviewing the case.

            A trust connected to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s in-laws donated $5,000 to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

            Records show that the Siebel Family Revocable Trust, which is run by Kenneth Siebel Jr. and Judith Siebel, the parents of Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel, gave $5,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC in early April.

            The Siebel family has a history of making donations to Republican candidates, including Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Josh Hawley (R-MO).
