FBI insider’s China connections spark new concerns over Biden-linked leaks

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News The former FBI official who leaked details of a criminal investigation to a Chinese company with a relationship with a Hunter Biden client was over the years involved in a wide range of investigations, from Wikileaks to Crossfire Hurricane. It remains to be seen which ones may have been tainted. The since-convicted FBI counterintelligence leader, who leaked information about a criminal investigation into a Chinese company linked to Hunter Biden’s business efforts, had previously played what he claimed in his defense to have had supervisory roles in a wide range of investigations. Charles McGonigal, now known to have leaked sensitive information to China-linked targets of an FBI investigation he was helping oversee, played a role in a host of other...

Air Force admits decorated pilot suffered religious discrimination over COVID vaccine mandate

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The Air Force Review Board found that pilot “was discriminated against on the basis of religion" for objection to orders to take the COVID vaccination. On “all fronts, this is a huge win,” pilot's attorney R. Davis Younts said. The Air Force found that a pilot who faced separation from the military for requesting a religious exemption to the flu vaccine was discriminated against for his religion and should not have been reprimanded. Major Brennan Schilperoort, who has served in the Air Force for 17 years and was a whistleblower over the COVID-19 vaccine, can now request the military branch give him backpay and restore his flight status after he was reprimanded when his Religious Accommodation Request (RAR) wasn’t processed. Schilperoo...

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The Food and Drug Administration is investigating reports of child deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, agency Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said.

Makary said the agency would release a report in the coming weeks on how many deaths were caused by the vaccine.

Clinton email scandal revisited: FBI had its own private server issues

By Steven Richards | Just the News Months after he refused to charge Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election for using a private, unauthorized server to transmit classified information, then-FBI Director James Comey's inner circle used personal email accounts to further a plan to make an "unauthorized disclosure" to journalists, newly declassified memos reveal. When investigators in a criminal probe codenamed "TROPIC VORTEX" sought permission in 2019 to gain access to those private emails, federal prosecutors turned them down, according to the memos recently uncovered by current FBI Director Kash Patel and declassified for release to Congress by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington DC "issued a prosecutorial declination decision for TROPIC VORTEX,"...

U.S. Immigrant Numbers Fall for First Time in Decades Amid Trump Enforcement

By Caroline Boda | Just the News (The Center Square) - The foreign-born population in the United States shrunk this year for the first time since the 1960s, according to new data from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. After rapidly growing for more than 50 years, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. reached a record high of 53.3 million in January 2025. The following months showed a decline of nearly 1.5 million, a likely mark of President Donald Trump’s second-term immigration policies. The new Pew study shows that more people are leaving the U.S. than are entering it, the first time this has happened in more than half a century. The analysis also found that the number of noncitizens in the U.S. illegally reached a record high of 14 million in 2023, a trend which Tru...

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday released new data from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which confirmed his concern that the Biden administration placed over 10,000 migrant children with unvetted sponsors. The Trump administration provided Grassley with the information as part of his oversight investigation and requests, which were largely ignored or stonewalled by the previous administration.

Agents Told To “Shut It Down” Mid-Investigation in Clinton Probe

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News Kid gloves vs. brass knuckles: Newly-declassified timeline shows how the investigation of the Clinton Foundation was hamstrung by FBI and DOJ while baseless Russia collusion marched foward in both agencies against Donald Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a bombshell memo written in 2017 chronicling the extensive political obstruction that career agents in three cities faced from their own bosses and the Obama Justice Department during the 2016 election as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation. "Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York Cit...

Whistle-blower Claims Schiff Sanctioned Classified Leaks Against Trump

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress. The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and...
