Two senior Republican senators are accusing the FBI under former Director Christopher Wray of deliberately burying classified files on the Biden family's alleged wrongdoing in Ukraine, and they want the Trump administration to open them up.

The operation, run out of the bureau's Foreign Influence Task Force-Russia, began in December 2019 to compile intelligence on the Biden family's business dealings in Ukraine.

On August 12, 2026, the American public finally learned that by the end of 2019, a full protection racket was already in place for Joe Biden and his family.

On August 12, 2026, the American public finally learned that by the end of 2019, a full protection racket was already in place for Joe Biden and his family. It was run by the very intelligence and law-enforcement agencies that are supposed to be politically neutral and driven by facts. Instead, they ignored the facts and played politics. This happened while President Donald J. Trump was still in his first term; and, ironically, just weeks after John Paul Mac Issac turned the infamous Hunter Biden laptop over to the FBI. According to the declassified ODNI summary and the Defensive Briefing Spreadsheet released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, the FBI had already received derogatory information about Joe Biden and…Open
AI:Declassified documents and recent revelations have exposed "Operation Round River," a massive, coordinated protection racket orchestrated by the FBI and intelligence agencies to shield Joe Biden and his family from accountability starting in 2019. Under the leadership of Christopher Wray, the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force-Russia (FITF-R) allegedly used counterintelligence designations to label legitimate evidence of Biden corruption—including information from at least 14 confidential human sources regarding Burisma and Ukraine—as "Russian disinformation." This bureaucratic coup effectively weaponized federal agencies to tilt the 2020 election by providing social media platforms with the pretext to censor the Hunter Biden laptop…Open

Todd Blanche survived a bruising confirmation fight to become the nation's 88th attorney general, winning Senate approval by a single vote after a last-minute decision by a Louisiana Republican broke the deadlock.

Two Republican senators are holding up acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation over the Justice Department's refusal to formally kill a $1.8 billion settlement fund, and one of them says he won't vote yes until he sees it on paper. The Senate Judiciary Committee pulled a scheduled Thursday morning vote on Blanche's nomination late Wednesday after Sen. John Cornyn of Texas made clear he would not support the nominee without a written agreement from the Justice Department. Cornyn wants two things in writing: confirmation that the DOJ's controversial "anti-weaponization fund" is permanently dead, and a clear answer on who exactly is shielded by the tax audit immunity baked into a settlement of President Trump's lawsuit against…Open

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, formally referred former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution on Wednesday.

The allegation centers on Smith’s responses about whether his office subpoenaed or reviewed text messages from members of Congress. In the…Open
