Patel, Bongino Say Prior FBI Leaders Hid Evidence of Chinese Interference in 2020 Election

Just the News

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino alleged Tuesday that the bureau’s prior leadership “chose to play politics” and hide evidence from the American people of a Chinese plot to hijack the 2020 U.S. election with fake mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.

The two FBI leaders’ statement came a week after Just the News reported Patel turned over to Congress earlier this month a long-hidden intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to carry out a scheme to swing the 2020 election to Biden with fake mail-in ballots.

Patel located the evidence based on information that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, got from whistleblowers and forwarded to the FBI, officials said.

The House on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Texas Democrat Al Green to impeach President Donald Trump over his decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities without Congressional approval, when 128 members of his Democratic caucus joined Republicans in defeating the bill.

The president ordered the strike on Saturday, which led to retaliation from Iran on Monday. However, the United States has since brokered a ceasefire on the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran.

A federal judge blocked deportations for eight migrants Monday night in what the Trump administration called a “lawless act of defiance” of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration earlier on Monday to move forward with quickly deporting illegal migrants to countries not specified in their removal orders. The ruling pausing an injunction issued by Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, which required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give migrants notice and allow them to raise concerns about potential threats of torture before deporting them to a “third country.”

The number of abortions in the U.S. continued to climb in 2024, driven in part by a dramatic increase in telemedicine access, especially in states that have enacted near-total bans on the procedure, according to a new report.

One in four abortions at the end of 2024 were reportedly conducted using abortion pills mailed to patients, compared to just 7% at the end of 2022, a new report by the Society of Family Planning found. Nearly half of those mail-order abortions were prescribed to women living in areas with abortion restrictions by doctors operating out of so-called “shield law” states such as New York and Massachusetts.

Commentary: The Trump Doctrine

American Greatness
Trump War Room

As the dust and smoke settle over Iran’s devastated nuclear weapons program, President Donald Trump’s method of waging war is coming into focus. We had hints of what I call the “Trump Doctrine” in his first term as he annihilated ISIS in Syria, but the two-decade war in Afghanistan that he had inherited initially obscured what has now become a coherent doctrine. In his second term, the freedom of navigation attacks against Yemen’s Houthis were once again a hint of Trump’s way of war, but Saturday’s attack on Iran—and the events leading up to it—tell us much about the deliberate and precise manner in which Trump seeks to conduct American wars. Similar to (but different from) the famous “Powell Doctrine” promulgated by former Secretary of State Colin Powell (more on that later), the Trump Doctrine is the doctrine of a businessman serving his stockholders. Explained another way, the Trump Doctrine is the “Businessman’s Way of War.”
