  Newsmax: A Democrat whistleblower told the FBI that Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., as a House member, approved leaking classified information in order to discredit President Donald Trump over the since-debunked Russia collusion scandal, according to newly released documents. The documents , which were obtained by Newsmax's Alana Austin, recently were given to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel, who found the files and declassified them. The whistleblower, a career intelligence officer, worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than 10 years and notified the FBI in 2017 of Schiff's alleged behavior, Just the News reported Monday night. The intelligence officer reportedly considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and "treasonous" but was told not to worry about it because Schiff said he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause. DOJ officials cited the same excuse ...

 NY Sun: Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired more than 20 Department of Justice employees who worked with former Special Counsel Jack Smith on two investigations into the January 6 riot at the Capitol and President Trump’s handling of classified documents. The investigations centered around Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents and his efforts to dispute the 2020 election results, which led to riots at the Capitol. According to sources cited by Reuters , nearly 20 DOJ staff members were terminated late Friday. The new dismissals bring the total number of Smith-related firings to 34 with 15 more looming, Axios reported. Among those fired were at least seven support staff who had worked closely with Mr. Smith’s investigations focused on Mr. Trump’s alleged illegal possession of classified documents kept at his Mar-a-Lago estate and the government’s efforts to recover them. Mr. Trump faced numerous felony charges stemming from the case, but pleaded not guilty. In addition, Mr...

 DC Daily Journal: ... The Trump administration is moving to tighten control over classified information shared with Congress following a damaging leak about U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a report revealed Thursday. The decision comes as the administration pushes back against media narratives questioning the success of the weekend operation, which President Trump has hailed as a decisive blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. On Saturday, U.S. forces conducted precision strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, an operation the administration described as a strategic masterstroke. However, a leaked Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment, reported by outlets like CNN and The New York Times on Tuesday, suggested the strikes only delayed Iran’s nuclear program by a few months. The report also noted that Iran had moved much of its enriched uranium stockpile before the attack. The administration swiftly dismissed the leaked assessment as incomplete and misleading. On Wedne...

 Axios: Top congressional Democrats are furious over President Trump's decision to limit intelligence sharing with Capitol Hill after the alleged leaks of   preliminary assessments   about the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites. Why it matters:   Democrats see the Trump decision as a significant escalation in what they say is the White House's   attempt to stonewall Congress   about the Iran conflict. "This isn't about national security—it's about Trump's insecurity. President Trump is cutting off intelligence to Congress, raising one clear question: what is he hiding?" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told Axios in a statement. "It must be bad news," Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told Axios of the intel surrounding the Iran strike. "They were embarrassed by the leak because it suggested that they did not obliterate the Iran nuclear program as promised." Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate...

 Blaze: A government employee's frustration with President Donald Trump's administration allegedly led him to attempt to betray his country. This revelation follows FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s vow to expose deep-state bad actors. The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that the FBI arrested a Defense Intelligence Agency IT specialist for "attempting to transmit national defense information to an officer or agent of a foreign government." Nathan Vilas Laatsch, a 28-year-old from Alexandria, Virginia, began working for the Defense Department's DIA in 2019. His position within the agency's Insider Threat Division allowed him "Top Secret security clearance," the DOJ stated. The FBI launched an investigation into Laatsch in March after the bureau received a tip that he had "offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government," according to the DOJ's press release, which did n...

  DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard Politicization of our intelligence and leaking classified information puts our nation’s security at risk and must end.
