A whistleblower inside New York Attorney General Letitia James' office claims he was directed to "find and pursue crimes" against President Trump and Trump-linked entities without legal justification, and that the email exposing the directive was scrubbed from office servers. Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld, a lawyer in the AG's Investor Protection Bureau, sent an agency-wide email to roughly 2,000 colleagues alleging that his supervisor, Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, instructed him to target Trump, Truth Social, and Hewlett Packard without providing a credible basis for investigation. Fox News Digital reported that the email was allegedly wiped from office servers shortly after it went out, and that James' general counsel,…Open

A former prosecutor in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office claims he was told to dig up crimes involving Donald Trump’s allies, fueling accusations from critics that the AG’s office has become a partisan weapon. Daniel Wiesenfeld, who worked in the New York Attorney General’s Investor Protection Bureau, sent a since-deleted email to roughly 2,000 staffers alleging he was directed to “find and pursue crimes” involving people and groups tied to Donald Trump, without what he described as a “credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals.” The email was later removed, and Wiesenfeld was placed on paid administrative leave. Wiesenfeld’s message, described in a New York Post report , specifically…Open
Liaisons dangereuses: Swalwell admitted to an intimate relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, while he still sat on the House Intelligence Committee. The FBI had warned Democratic leadership about the risks years before he was removed from the seat.
Government records uncovered in recent court filings show that the Department of Homeland Security launched a mass surveillance operation against groups that protested the immigration crackdown in Minnesota – including labor unions, nonprofits and climate groups. Undercover agents sat in churches, schools and public libraries, and infiltrated Signal chats. Emilia González Avalos, a Minneapolis organizer whose meeting was surveilled, said the operation "feels like a confession." The government, she added, "came looking for a conspiracy and found neighbors."
AI:Government records released through recent court filings reveal that the Department of Homeland Security conducted an extensive mass surveillance operation targeting various groups protesting the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. This intelligence-gathering effort involved undercover agents infiltrating private communications on Signal and monitoring sensitive locations such as churches, schools, and public libraries to monitor activities of labor unions, nonprofits, and climate activists. Local organizers have characterized these actions as a targeted attempt by the government to manufacture conspiracy theories out of community gatherings and legitimate civic activism during the ongoing immigration…Open
The government conducted expansive surveillance, infiltrated group chats and obtained financial records of organizations never accused of crimes.
AI:The Department of Homeland Security has been caught conducting a massive, unprecedented intelligence operation targeting left-leaning activist groups during the recent immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. These federal agents didn't just observe; they actively infiltrated private group chats and seized sensitive financial records from organizations that have committed no crimes whatsoever. This represents a total inversion of law enforcement priorities, where the state operates as a shadow intelligence agency to monitor political dissidents while ignoring actual criminal activity. The investigation reveals an expansive surveillance dragnet designed to map out every connection within these protest movements, marking a significant…Open
State of the Union: The $1.8 billion fund for compensating victims of political targeting was a major point of contention in Blanche’s confirmation battle. The post Acting AG Blanche Cancels Anti-Weaponization Fund appeared first on The American Conservative .
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche officially cancelled on Monday a planned $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate people who say they were politically targeted, avoiding a major clash with two Republican senators who had threatened to block his confirmation as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) said they would back Blanche after he issued a written order rescinding the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” The fund was created in May as part of a settlement resolving Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax records. Critics said that it could be used to compensate people charged in connection with the events…Open
The group raises the question of whether the same Justice Department officials who prosecuted Trump for mishandling classified information may have committed similar security lapses themselves, going to the heart of whether the law was applied evenhandedly.
Israel-backed propagandists have demanded Blumenthal face US government persecution for reporting from Iran. It appears the Trump admin obliged.
This was originally published on the website of the ADC. Read the full brief of the ADC’s lawsuit here. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) filed a time-sensitive motion in the Eastern District of Virginia’s federal court on behalf of journalist Max Blumenthal, seeking the immediate return of two smartphones unlawfully seized and retained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The motion argues that CBP’s warrantless seizure and continued retention of Blumenthal’s phones violate the First and Fourth Amendments and the Privacy Protection Act. It seeks the immediate return of both devices and all information or copies obtained from them under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g), along with an expedited…Open
State of the Union: The governor accused the president of targeting him for political reasons. The post Gov. Newsom: Trump Weaponizing DOJ Against Me appeared first on The American Conservative .
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday said the Trump Administration had been targeting him as a “political enemy” through a baseless Department of Justice investigation. Newsom accused President Donald Trump of “coming after me because I am considering running for President.” Newsom said that family members, friends, and former employees had been approached in recent days by federal agents. Newsom also alleged that the administration was investigating his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The alleged investigation follows Trump’s nomination of Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, to head the DOJ following the departure in April of Pam Bondi. Blanche has overseen indictments of prominent Trump critics, including former…Open
