USAO Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, announced the initial fraud indictments for the first set of fraudsters operating in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  McDonald emphasized this is only the beginning of the arrests in Minnesota as the fraud is beyond a scale that can be appropriately explained.

Together with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, U.S Attorney McDonald announces the first 15 individuals indicted with initial investigated theft of $90 million.  The DOJ anticipates hundreds more arrests.  Secretary Kennedy notes the scale of fraud is approximately 10x more than initially evaluated.

No specific allegations have been released; however, CBS is reporting the FBI raid on Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas appears to be in relation to a bribery scheme connected to a marijuana dispensary business where Lucas was a partner.

VIRGINIA (CBS) – The FBI on Wednesday searched the office of longtime Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, a bureau spokesperson told CBS News.

Lucas was a key figure in pushing a new congressional map through Virginia’s legislature that adds four Democratic-leaning seats. The map was approved in a ballot referendum in April but is currently on hold while the Virginia Supreme Court considers the legality of the new map.

Investigators are looking into an alleged bribery scheme in connection with the marijuana dispensary business, according to a source familiar with the matter.

A man was identified carrying a firearm inside the outer perimeter of the White House.  The Secret Service engaged the person carrying the gun, who then fled on foot, turning and shooting back at Secret Service agents.  The U.S. Secret Service returned fire hitting the gunman.  A juvenile bystander was shot by one of the bullets, most likely fired by the suspect.  Both the juvenile bystander and the gunman are receiving medical treatment.

Just before the gunman was identified, the motorcade of Vice President JD Vance drove through this immediate area.  The shooting did not involve the Vice President’s security detail and an investigation is ongoing.  The Secret Service gives a preliminary media briefing below.

Against the background of three assassination attempts, and with multiple Democrat activists, promoted social media influencers and leftist politicians increasingly calling for confrontation and violence against President Trump and his administration, the Secret Service is maintaining an elevated position of alert.

President Trump sends the following information from his Truth Social Account:

“Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we “LET THE SHOW GO ON” but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly. Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again.”

In 2023 Lt Gen Michael Flynn filed a $50 million lawsuit against the DOJ for wrongful prosecution.  Yesterday, the DOJ settled with Flynn for approximately $1.2 million.

As many of you are aware, the former National Security Advisor to President Trump was targeted by the FBI and DOJ during the Russiagate phase of the Trump targeting effort.

Michael Flynn was investigated by Robert Mueller and prosecuted, wrongly, for lying to FBI agents Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap about the content of his phone call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.  Flynn was also investigated for FARA violations.

When the Mueller team threatened his family, in November 2017 Michael Flynn signed a guilty plea which he later withdrew as more evidence of FBI and DOJ corruption began to surface.

(VIA AP) – WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit from Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who pleaded guilty during the Republican’s first term to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian diplomat and was later pardoned.

Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to disclose nonpublic information, confirmed the total as about $1.2 million. (read more)

The granular details showing Flynn’s malicious prosecution were researched and highlighted on CTH for years.  There is no doubt Flynn’s targeting by the DOJ and FBI was entirely political in nature.  In 2018 attorney Sidney Powell took on the mission to defend Flynn that eventually led to the DOJ dropping the case.  President Trump then pardoned Flynn.

Following the announcement of the DOJ settlement, Michael Flynn and family released the following statement:

A man who went by the name Mike King was the lead security officer for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. However, Mike King was an alias, and his real name was Diamon-Mazairre Robinson; a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal background.

According to police, King was wanted for impersonating a law enforcement officer. He reportedly fled into a hospital parking garage and barricaded himself inside a vehicle. King was then forced out of the car with tear gas and pulled his gun on officers.

“Multiple law enforcement sources tell CBS News Texas the man, known publicly as Mike King, had been using aliases while running a business that placed officers in off‑duty jobs,” CBS reported. King reportedly drove a replica undercover police vehicle and used stolen license plates from cars at a military recruiting office.

(VIA CBS) – […] CBS News Texas has been researching Robinson’s criminal history, which includes seven arrests for theft in Dallas, Duncanville, Irving, Dallas County and by the Texas Department of Public Safety. 

All of the arrests were between 2009 and 2012, as many as six of them at the felony level. 

It appears his sentences for those convictions, which he pleaded guilty to all, led only to fines no more than $2,500 and sentences of probation from 1 to 5 years, and in one case, 10 years.

A former New York City resident and U.S. citizen immigrant originally from Senegal, opened fire at a crowded Austin, Texas, bar, killing three people and injuring 14 others. Sources have told media the attack may have been motivated by recent U.S. strikes on Iran. {UPDATE: Shooter Pictured Below Fold}

The shooter was found to have a Quran in his vehicle and was wearing what is described as Islamic attire. The FBI is probing the incident as a potential act of ideologically driven terrorism. (PROMPTED)

(Fox 7 – Austin) – At a press conference early Sunday, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said police received a call around 1:40 a.m. for reports of a “male shooting” at Buford’s, a beer garden in the city’s busy entertainment district.

When police arrived at the scene, they confronted a man with a gun and then “returned fire, killing the suspect,” Davis said. According to EMS Chief Robert Luckritz, three people died at the scene and 14 people were taken to hospitals. Three of those injured were in critical condition.

A spokesman for the FBI said at a news conference later Sunday morning that the gunman appears to have ties to a terror group, but that is still under investigation.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, you will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy he was. {SEARCH TOOL}

Carvalho was tightly aligned with the Obama/Biden administration, the “my brothers keeper” program and the Dade/Broward County “Promise Program” where high school kids who committed felonies were directed away from the criminal justice system and instead given school punishments (suspensions etc.).

I spent months fighting corrupt Miami-Dade officials and getting transcripts from internal police investigators who admitted to the corruption within the program. It was jaw-dropping.

Well, Carvalho left Miami-Dade and went to work in Los Angeles. Now this appears:

BREAKING: FBI LA confirms they are currently executing search warrants at two addresses, which a separate federal law enforcement source tells Fox News are the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. LAUSD is the 2nd biggest school district in the country.

We are told the underlying affidavit in support of the search warrant is under seal, so it’s unclear what potential wrongdoing Carvalho may be suspected of. More as we get it. {SOURCE}

Nancy Guthrie disappeared in the middle of night from her Tucson, Arizona, home and was last seen on 31 January. Authorities believe she was taken against her will.

NBC narrative engineer Savannah Guthrie said on Monday that her family believes their mother is still alive and issued a new appeal to anyone with information.

The FBI have released images of a masked person in the hunt for news anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother. Officials are seeking to identify the individual, who they say was armed, shortly before 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home.

“The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance. New images released today show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance. The FBI seeks information that will lead to the identity of this individual” [FBI RELEASE]

FBI Director Kash Patel: “Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.

Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.

Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI“

Apparently, the mother of NBC reporter Savannah Guthrie has been kidnapped by someone or some group.  The strange, weird, and rather odd events surrounding the issue have been unfolding for several days.  Tonight, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a weird video saying, “we will pay,” in what appears to be a statement about a ransom.

The internet has been ablaze with this story for the past four days.  I have no idea what is going on, but the entire thing seems sketchy.  Maybe that’s what happens when someone is kidnapped and the communication takes place in public.  It’s all weird.

.

Many people suspect Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped and taken to Mexico, where she is being held for ransom.
