https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jun/9/biden-accused-pocketing-5-million-bribe-while-vice/
A paid informant told the FBI that an executive from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma has documents proving he bribed President Biden with $5 million while he was vice president.

The “trusted” and “highly credible” FBI informant said Burisma paid the bribe between 2015 and 2016 to solicit then-Vice President Biden‘s help in thwarting a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating the company, The Washington Times has confirmed.

Burisma paid an additional $5 million to Hunter Biden, the president’s son, who served on Burisma‘s board at the time and received a $1 million annual salary at the energy company. The scheme was concealed using multiple bank accounts, according to the informant.

Details of the FBI informant’s previously undisclosed allegations were revealed after the House Oversight and Accountability Committee was granted access to the FBI memo in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol on June 8.

In response to these allegations, the GOP-led panel plans a round of subpoenas in the coming days that will seek new financial documents from Biden family associates, sources told The Times.

The panel chairman, James Comer, Kentucky Republican, and ranking member Jamie Raskin, Maryland Democrat, will also review additional FBI memos documenting earlier conversations with the paid informant about the Burisma bribery allegations.
No recording equipment or note-taking was allowed when lawmakers viewed the FBI memo on June 8, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, said she quickly memorialized what she read from the memo and wrote detailed notes so she could report it to the media. The information she released was verified independently.

Indictment says Trump lied, schemed to keep highly classified secrets
The former president faces 37 criminal charges. His longtime valet, Walt Nauta, faces six charges.
By Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey, Perry Stein and Jacqueline Alemany
Updated June 9, 2023 at 7:03 p.m. EDT|Published June 9, 2023 at 9:19 a.m. EDT

Former president Donald Trump stashed sensitive intelligence secrets in a bathroom, his bedroom and a ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, according to a scathing 49-page indictment unsealed Friday against him and a loyal servant who is accused of lying to cover up his boss’s alleged crimes.

The grand jury indictment tells a story of hubris and hypocrisy, describing a wealthy former president living among neck-high stacks of boxes with classified documents scattered inside them, sometimes literally spilling out of their containers. In the prosecutors’ telling, neither Trump nor any of his aides or lawyers appeared bothered by the sprawl of sensitive papers until government agents came calling. Then, the former commander in chief allegedly set out to hide some of what he had.

President Joe Biden was allegedly paid $5 million by an executive of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, where his son Hunter Biden sat on the board, a confidential human source told the FBI during a June 2020 interview, sources familiar told Fox News Digital. The sources briefed Fox News Digital on the contents of the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions.

The FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020, is the FBI's interview with a "highly credible" confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with a top Burisma executive over the course of several years, starting in 2015. Fox News Digital has not seen the form, but it was described by several sources who are aware of its contents.

An FD-1023 form is used by FBI agents to record unverified reporting from confidential human sources. The form is used to document information as told to an FBI agent, but recording that information does not validate or weigh it against other information known by the FBI. The Burisma executive sought the advice of the confidential source, a business professional, on gaining U.S. oil rights and getting involved with a U.S. oil company, the sources familiar with the document said. The Burisma executive was speaking with the confidential source to "get advice on the best way to go forward" in 2015 and 2016.

>A district judge in Washington state has ruled that Olympus Spa, a women-only spa where nudity is compulsory, must allow pre-op transgender women with penises to utilize their facilities.

>This ruling comes after the spa sued the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) when they were previously ordered to change its ‘discriminatory rules’ which is ‘biological women only’ policy.

>Haven Wilvich, a biological male, complained when his membership application was declined by the Korean-style spa. He was allegedly told that “transgender women without surgery are not welcome.”

>According to the Daily Mail, the Pacific Northwest state of Washington is one of several Democrat-led regions where transgender individuals are allowed to use facilities that correspond with their identified gender, regardless of their physical status.

According to White House visitor logs recently obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, a Southern Poverty Law Center director who just put several major parents’ rights groups on the SPLC’s "hate map," met with Biden administration counterterrorism officials this year.

The visit happened in the wake of rising calls for the Department of Justice to look into parents’ rights groups and school board meetings to see if there is "domestic terror" activity among those frustrated with what’s being taught in U.S. public schools.

The SPLC’s annual "Year In Hate and Extremism" report officially designated the organizations as "anti-government extremist groups." It also described members of Mom’s For Liberty, saying they can be "spotted at school board meetings across the country wearing shirts and carrying signs that declare, ‘We do NOT CO-PARENT with the GOVERNMENT.’"

Kaczynski was found dead around 8 a.m. at a federal prison in North Carolina. A cause of death was not immediately known.

He had been moved to the federal prison medical facility in North Carolina after spending two decades in a federal Supermax prison in Colorado for a series of bombings that targeted scientists.

Kaczynski was serving life without the possibility of parole following his 1996 arrest at the primitive cabin where he was living in western Montana. He pleaded guilty to setting 16 explosions that killed three people and injured 23 others in various parts of the country between 1978 and 1995.

>Tucker Carlson dedicated the second episode of his Twitter show to what he called "the greatest taboo of all," child molestation.

>The theme of the show was born out of the recent reporting about a network of child pornography distributors using Instagram. Its parent company Meta acknowledged flaws within its anti-child pornography enforcement operation and said it was creating an internal task force to look into these networks. Carlson claimed the aftermath is evidence that pedophilia "is teetering on the edge of acceptability."

>Carlson used the story of Kyle Rittenhouse as another example of pedophilia becoming less of a taboo in society today.

>He pointed out that one of Rittenhouse's victims was Joseph Rosenbaum, who was a convicted child molester. During the Rittenhouse trial, the judge involved rejected elements of Rittenhouse's defense attorneys' evidence having to do with the criminal background of Rosenbaum, who had an adult female fiance at the time of his death named Kariann Swart.

>According to Carlson, the media made Rosenbaum out to be the victim instead of the villain.

WASHINGTON ― Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges stemming from his removal of top-secret documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago social club in South Florida and his refusal to return them, even in defiance of a subpoena.

The coup-attempting former president announced the news himself on his Truth Social media platform Thursday evening in a three-part post.

“I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN!” Trump wrote. “This is indeed a DARK DAY for the United States of America. We are a Country in serious and rapid Decline, but together we will Make America Great Again!”

The indictment was under seal, but news reports said there are multiple counts, which range from willful retention of national defense information to conspiracy. Typically, a federal indictment becomes public at the time of arraignment.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the documents belong to him, even though they were official papers generated as a result of his role as president and commander in chief.

During a CNN “town hall” appearance that the network hosted for him in last month, Trump claimed he had every right to take whatever documents he wanted when he left the White House, and that the mere fact of his taking them made it OK for him to keep them at his home.

Is this post supposed to be ironic?

A Virginia dentist was allegedly murdered by his transgender daughter during a fight over the weekend, police said.

Dr. Abbey Horwitz, 68, suffered "multiple" stab wounds shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday in their $2.1 million Virginia Beach home and was pronounced dead by 9:13 a.m, police said.

Horwitz's daughter, a biological male who is in the process of transitioning to a woman, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and stabbing in the commission of a felony.

Police named the suspect as "Michael (Norah) Horwitz" in a press release and used the pronoun "she."

Norah Horwitz is currently being held in the Virginia Beach Jail without bond and has been placed under suicide watch, according to the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office.

Police didn't give a motive for the alleged attack.

Norah is named as "Michael" in her slain father's page on his dentistry practice's site The Art of Dentistry, which says he has been married to his wife, Brenda, for over 25 years and "is the proud parent of their three children, Michael, Shayna and Jonathan."

Exclusive: Donald Trump admits on tape he didn’t declassify ‘secret information’
By Paula Reid and Jeremy Herb, CNN
Updated 8:41 AM EDT, Fri June 9, 2023

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/09/politics/trump-tape-didnt-declassify-secret-information/index.html


Former President Donald Trump acknowledged on tape in a 2021 meeting that he had retained “secret” military information that he had not declassified, according to a transcript of the audio recording obtained by CNN.

“As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t,” Trump says, according to the transcript.

CNN obtained the transcript of a portion of the meeting where Trump is discussing a classified Pentagon document about attacking Iran. In the audio recording, which CNN previously reported was obtained by prosecutors, Trump says that he did not declassify the document he’s referencing, according to the transcript.

Trump was indicted Thursday on seven counts in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the mishandling of classified documents. Details from the indictment have not been made public, so it unknown whether any of the seven counts refer to the recorded 2021 meeting. Still, the tape is significant because it shows that Trump had an understanding the records he had with him at Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House remained classified.

Some business experts are reportedly warning Bud Light that it will have to make major changes if it wants to regain the trust of consumers.

"Unless Bud Light starts to experience a serious course correction in terms of performance, which can only come from consumers finding their way back into the brand family, then that firm grip on the No. 1 rank by year-end loosens a bit more every week," Dave Williams, vice president of analytics and insights at Bump Williams Consulting, reportedly told CBS MoneyWatch.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Anheuser-Busch for comment but has yet to receive a response.

In the more than seven weeks since consumers first revolted over Bud Light's apparent partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, some stores have been forced to give away the beer for free, with Bud Light even resorting to buying back unsold, expired beer from wholesalers, according to The Wall Street Journal.

And the whole Biden bribe story goes up in smoke.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/fbi-agent-testified-republicans-was-suspended-leaked-classified-inform-rcna88407

One of the Republican-touted FBI “whistleblowers”—who alleged pervasive anti-conservative bias at the agency and later presented testimony to the GOP-led House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government—was suspended from his position for leaking sensitive information to the right-wing string group Project Veritas, an official told NBC News Thursday. Following the news, House Democrats accused agent Garret O’Boyle of lying under oath when he said that he had not spoken to the media prior to his suspension. House Dems said they were referring the matter to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. A spokesperson for O’Boyle told the network that he never lied to the committee or leaked non-public information.
