One of the two National Guard members who was shot near the White House has died, US President Donald Trump said Thursday. Trump praised Specialist Sarah B., 20, as a "highly respected, young, magnificent person." The other Guard member, Staff Sergeant Andrew W., 24, was "fighting for his life. He's in very bad shape," Trump said as he addressed the US troops to mark the Thanksgiving holiday.
A longtime FBI employee has filed a lawsuit alleging that he was fired for displaying a Pride flag at his desk, naming FBI director Kash Patel, the justice department and attorney general Pam Bondi as defendants. According to David Maltinsky, an intelligence specialist who had served with the bureau for 16 years, his wrongful termination earlier this year was unconstitutional and politically motivated.
screenshot Tucker Carlson is now openly alleging that the Trump-era FBI not just Biden's is lying about critical details of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is the core, explosive thrust of his just-released video (embedded below): that the very federal law-enforcement leadership now serving in Trump's second term including his newly installed FBI team led by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino is obscuring what really happened on the rooftop where Thomas Crooks nearly killed a former president.
Back in July, in the wake of Trump's struggles to distract from his own Epstein cover-up and as if in response to Tulsi Gabbard's wild rants about the Intelligence Community Assessment, the FBI Director posted this tweet, RTing an inflammatory tweet from a propagandist who has been central to Kash's disinformation about the Russian investigation. Buried in a back room at the FBI, Kash claimed, was what John Solomon called "the smoking gun evidence ... [i]f it is authenticated."
A former Russian diplomat linked to a sanctions-evasion scandal involving one of the FBI's top former counter-intelligence agents and a notorious Russian oligarch was sentenced to two months in jail on charges of lying to US law enforcement. Sergei Shestakov's sentencing closes a chapter in a case that both embarrassed the FBI and also shone a new spotlight on Oleg Deripaska, a Kremlin-connected billionaire who has long been on the FBI's radar screen.
FBI director Kash Patel has reportedly fired an agent for displaying a Pride flag at his desk. Insiders have claimed that the staff member, who was training at the academy in Quantico, Virginia, was handed an immediate-dismissal notice last week. He had previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles. Two FBI veterans told CNN that the trainee had won awards for his service. The dismissal letter, signed by Patel, did not specifically mention the Pride flag but said the agent was being dismissed for past "poor judgment" and "inappropriate display of political signage" on his desk in LA.
The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine, Patel wrote. He reserved criticism for the centre's interactive hate map, which identifies groups associated with hate and antigovernment activity and maps their bases of operation. Their so-called hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership, Patel said.

The connection between the group and the FBI is officially terminated, Patel made clear.
EXCLUSIVE: NEW YORK - The FBI has warned it is getting ready to smash and dismantle the transnational gangs who have helped transform a busy commercial strip in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district into a crime-infested hot spot blighted by illegal prostitution, drugs, human trafficking and violence.
A federal manhunt is under way for anyone involved in the assassination of the conservative commentator and Trump ally. The FBI office in Salt Lake City, Utah, has posted two images of a person of interest in the killing of Charlie Kirk, a conservative American activist and ally of United States President Donald Trump. Kirk was speaking at a debate at Utah Valley University when authorities say a shooter fired
A Salisbury man pleaded not guilty Tuesday after allegedly making bomb threats to an Everett city councilor, according to The Boston Globe. The Boston office of the FBI contacted Salisbury police on Tuesday morning regarding social media threats of firearm and explosive use, Salisbury police said. Salisbury police and the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council collaborated to arrest the suspect around 12:43 p.m. that day.
Patel admitted that his superiors, who he referred to as they' and who Driscoll understood to include Defendant Department of Justice and the White House had directed him to fire anyone who they identified as having worked on a criminal investigation against President Donald J. Trump, the lawsuit alleges. Patel explained that he had to fire the people his superiors told him to fire, because his ability to keep his own job depended on the removal of the agents who worked on cases
with respect to the director's social media posting, I mean, it's yet another example of, in my opinion, Kash Patel failing to live up to the example of his predecessors, McCabe said in reaction. This is not the kind of thing that any FBI director has ever done. FBI directors don't gratuitously point towards search warrants and the people who are the targets of those warrants in any sort of way that could possibly be interpreted as grandstanding and nonsensical, as this one certainly suggests.
