WaPo Slashes 4% of Workforce

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Washington Post announced on Tuesday that it started to lay off approximately 4% of its workforce because the newspaper has been financially for a while, losing millions of dollars.

The New York Times reported that the cuts would affect fewer than 100 people in the advertising sales, marketing, and print products divisions. The Times also stated that those working in the newsroom won’t be fired since the Post eliminated 240 jobs from that department two years ago.

“The Washington Post is continuing its transformation to meet the needs of the industry, build a more sustainable future and reach audiences where they are,” the newspaper’s statement said. “Changes across our business functions are all in service of our greater goal to best position the Post for the future.”

The Post mostly fired employees in the advertising division. In a memo, Johanna Mayer-Jones, the newspaper’s chief advertising officer, told the employees that 73 jobs under her purview were being eliminated and that the Post would “prioritize connecting advertising clients to our subscriber base.”

Headline USA previously reported that the Post had financial problems, almost losing $77 million in 2024.

Before the recent news was reported, many people who used to work for the Post were either fired by the newspaper or wilfully left.

The Times reported that among those people were Sally Buzbee, who stepped down as the paper’s executive editor in June, and Rob Winnett, who was supposed to replace Buzbee but withdrew himself from that position.

Headline USA reported that Ann Telnaes, the Post’s cartoonist, also left because the newspaper refused to publish her anti-Trump cartoon.

Reporters Ashley Parker, Michael Scherer, Josh Dawsey and Dan Eggen also left the Post. The New York Post reported that Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent, and two columnists, Michele Norris and Robert Kagan, also left the newspaper.

Hugh Hewitt, a conservative columnist who had contributed to the Post for many years, also left at the end of the year because of the newspaper’s far-left political bias.

Fox News’s inside source also stated that the “morale is just horrible” in the newsroom under publisher Will Lewis, saying that talented people are leaving the newspaper to work for other outlets, and the Post is experiencing financial problems and dwindling traffic.

Fani Willis Forced to Pay Thousands to Judicial Watch Over Hidden Documents

Fani Willis Forced to Pay Thousands to Judicial Watch Over Hidden Documents

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) What goes around comes around. 

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered to pay $21,578 in attorney fees to Judicial Watch after her office was found in default for failing to respond to a lawsuit regarding Open Records Act (ORA) requests. 

“Fani Willis flouted the law, and the court is right to slam her and require, at a minimum, the payment of nearly $22,000 to Judicial Watch,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “But in the end, Judicial Watch wants the full truth on what she was hiding – her office’s political collusion with the Pelosi January 6 committee to ‘get Trump.’”

The lawsuit, filed in March 2024, sought communications between Willis, Special Counsel Jack Smith and the now discredited and disbanded Jan. 6 Committee.  

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after Willis’s office denied its August 2023 records request. Willis claimed her office had no documents related to the ORA request at the time. Judicial Watch later learned this was false. 

Willis failed to respond to the lawsuit despite being given 30 days, as requested by Georgia law. This failure led the Fulton County Superior Court to issue a default judgment and a blunt rebuke of Willis’s dismissive conduct with Judicial Watch.

For instance, Fulton County Open Records Custodian confirmed it had forwarded the request to the District Attorney’s Office in August 2023. The request was abruptly closed five minutes later with the false response: “After carefully reviewing your request. (sic) We do not have the responsive records.” 

The court rebuked this response, calling it “perplexing and eventually suspicious” as Judicial Watch uncovered at least one document that “should have been in the District Attorney’s Office’s possession that was patently responsive to the request.” 

Following the default ruling, Willis’s office suddenly “discovered” documents. 

“Despite having previously informed [Judicial Watch] four separate times that her team had carefully searched but found no responsive records, now there suddenly were – but they were not subject to disclosure under the ORA,” the court noted, calling out the inconsistency. 

Willis, a leftist Democrat, was one of the several prosecutors who unsuccessfully plotted to jail Trump before the 2024 election, accusing him of violating Georgia law by questioning the state’s election results. 

The case quickly unraveled after Willis was busted having an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, the same man she had hired to lead the case.  

Wade quit the case after presiding Judge Scott McAfee ruled that the relationship created an appearance of conflict of interest. 

Unsatisfied with this ruling, Trump appealed to have Willis disqualified and the charges dismissed. An appellate judge agreed to disqualify Willis, indefinitely pausing the case. 

Biden Rerouts More than $100M in Aid for Israel, Egypt to Bribe Hezbollah Proxy for Ceasefire

Biden Rerouts More than $100M in Aid for Israel, Egypt to Bribe Hezbollah Proxy for Ceasefire

(Headline USA) After Democrats used the assurances of Israeli military aid last fall to persuade RINOs in Congress to help pass a Ukraine free-for-all, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, lame-duck President Joe Biden pulled one final bait-and-switch, rerouting it instead to Israel’s de-facto enemy to help support anti-Semitic terrorism.

The Biden administration said it was shifting more than $100 million in military aid from Israel and Egypt to Lebanon as it ostensibly tries to bolster a ceasefire agreement it helped mediate between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror group that is backed by Iran.

In separate notices sent to Congress, the State Department said it was moving $95 million in military assistance intended for Egypt and $7.5 million for Israel toward supporting the Lebanese army and its government. The notices were dated Jan. 3 and obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Most of the money will go to the Lebanese Armed Forces, which have a critical role in standing up the ceasefire that was agreed to in November following an all-out war between Israeli and Hezbollah that battered much of southern and eastern Lebanon for two months.

But critics argue that the Lebanese military is effectively a proxy for the terrorist organization because it is so heavily infiltrated by Hezbollah combattants. That likely means the money will instead be used to help plan further attacks on the embattled Jewish nation–state and longtime U.S. ally.

The Biden administration faced similar criticism for its funding of Hamas, including the decision to unfreeze billions in Iranian assets in the days prior to a deadly Oct. 7, 2023, massacre that left more than 1,200 Israelis dead, with about 250 more taken hostage.

The Lebanese kickback is intended to help the LAF deploy in the south of the country and supplement the role of the U.N. peacekeeping mission patrolling the so-called Blue Line, which has separated Israel and Lebanon since the end of a monthlong Israel–Hezbollah war in 2006.

“Successful implementation will require an empowered LAF, which will need robust assistance from the United States and other partners,” the State Department claimed in the notices, both of which used nearly identical language to explain the funding shifts.

Both Israel and Hezbollah agreed to pull their forces out of southern Lebanon before the end of January, with compliance to be overseen by the Lebanese army and U.N. peacekeepers.

However, the U.N., like the Lebanese military, has faced prior criticism for having allowed terrorist to embed in its purportedly neutral operations.

“U.S. security assistance to the LAF increases its capacity as the country’s only legitimate military force and defender of Lebanon’s territorial integrity, enables the LAF to prevent potential destabilization from ISIS and other terrorist groups, and enables the LAF to provide security both for the Lebanese people and for U.S. personnel,” the State Department claimed.

The notices rejected concerns about the diversion of U.S. assistance allocated by Congress to Israel, as well as those about U.S. assistance to the Lebanese military.

“U.S. support to the LAF reinforces the LAF as an important institutional counterweight to Hezbollah, which receives weapons, training, and financial support from Iran,” the State Department claimed. “The LAF continues to be an independent, non-sectarian institution in Lebanon, and is respected across all sectors.”

In a third notice, also sent to Congress on Jan. 3, the department said it was going to provide $15 million to Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces to ensure that they become the primary law-enforcement entity in the country and assist the LAF in controlling areas in the south.

That money will primarily be used to rebuild police stations, improve radio communications and purchase vehicles, the notice said.

The third notice also informed lawmakers that the administration would provide $3.06 million to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Authority’s police to support its operations in the West Bank and $2.5 million to Jordan’s Public Security Directorate to support its response to public demonstrations.

Nvidia Unveils New AI-Powered Graphics Processor as Tech Rivals Try to Keep Pace

(Headline USA) In a packed Las Vegas arena, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang stood on stage and marveled over the crisp real-time computer graphics displayed on the screen behind him.

He watched as a dark-haired woman walked through ornate gilded double doors and took in the rays of light that poured in through stained glass windows.

“The amount of geometry that you saw was absolutely insane,” Huang told an audience of thousands at CES 2025 Monday night. “It would have been impossible without artificial intelligence.”

The chipmaker and AI darling unveiled its GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop and laptop GPUs—powered by its new Blackwell artificial intelligence chip—kicking off a string of entertainment-related AI announcements and discussions at the trade show.

“Blackwell, the engine of AI, has arrived for PC gamers, developers and creatives,” Huang said, adding that Blackwell “is the most significant computer graphics innovation since we introduced programmable shading 25 years ago.”

Blackwell technology is now in full production, he said.

Semiconductor maker AMD unveiled its latest Ryzen 9 and AI series processors Monday morning, boasting unprecedented performance for gamers and content creators. The new chips help AMD to further compete with rivals like Nvidia, Intel and Qualcomm in the budding AI PC space.

“With the next generation of AI-enabled processors, we are proliferating AI to devices everywhere, and bringing the power of a workstation to thin and light laptops,” said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of computing and graphics group at AMD.

Google, meanwhile, previewed new AI tools for Google TV that use Gemini to make “interacting with your TV more intuitive and helpful.” Users, the company said, will be able to have a “natural” conversation with their TVs to ask about things like travel and history, or ask the TV for an overview of the day’s news.

Samsung also showed off its foray in AI and announced its “Samsung Vision AI” that includes a click to search feature allowing users to do things like identify an actor on screen, and a translation feature that provides real-time subtitles. It also integrates with the rest of the company’s smart home ecosystem.

SW Yong, president and head of visual display business at Samsung Electronics, said the company sees TVs as “interactive, intelligent partners” rather than “one-directional devices for passive consumption.”

“We’re reimagining what screens can do, connecting entertainment, personalization and lifestyle solutions into one seamless experience to simplify your life,” he said.

But not all of the AI discussion revolved around gadgetry at CES.

Leaders in technology and entertainment discussed current trends in generative AI ahead of Tuesday’s conference opener.

In one panel discussion on entertainment copyright and AI, some attorneys and experts gave their opinions on whether whether the federal government would pass regulations on the technology this year, especially around the issue of gen-AI created deep fakes.

Some believe the courts and individual states would tackle the issue before the government would.

“There have been no major decisions on this issue. They will be litigated and tried in the next year or so,” said Chad Hummel, an attorney at McKool Smith.

Lisa Oratz, an attorney at Perkins Coie who represents clients in the publishing, arts and entertainment industries, acknowledged that AI technology should be regulated but noted it has an “upside.” She said many of her tech clients’ jobs are being made easier because AI helps alleviate iterative work.

“You can make content creation faster, easier and more affordable. You can do things like reduce barriers to entry and democratize content,” she said.

However, Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said that digital replication was central to their 2023 film and television strike, and that a lack of protections around the unregulated use of AI is core to negotiations between their video game performers and the industry.

“It is a tool and it is also an existential threat,” he said.

Sunny Hostin’s Husband Accused of Insurance Fraud in Explosive RICO Lawsuit

Sunny Hostin’s Husband Accused of Insurance Fraud in Explosive RICO Lawsuit

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The View co-host Sunny Hostin’s surgeon husband, orthopedic surgeon Emmanuel Hostin, has been accused of federal insurance fraud in an unprecedented RICO lawsuit filed in New York. 

Sunny Hostin, a vocal Trump antagonist, may soon have to address her viewers about the claims against her husband, including accusations he performed surgeries and received kickbacks by fraudulently billing an insurance company that covers taxi drivers. 

“Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries,” attorneys for insurance firm American Transit claimed in a Dec. 17 lawsuit, according to the Daily Mail. 

The allegations starkly contrast Sunny Hostin’s frequent virtue signaling and rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump over his cases.

For instance, in November, she questioned how Americans overwhelmingly voted for Trump in the 2024 election.

“How did a convicted felon resonate more with Americans than a hyperqualified woman of color?’ Is it racism?” Sunny asked House Minority Hakeem Jeffries in an interview in November. 

While Emmanuel Hostin has not been indicted and categorically denies the allegations, the lawsuit’s claims could undermine Sunny Hostin’s credibility on The View.

She did not respond to Headline USA’s request for comment sent to her representatives outside of business hours.

American Transit alleges that New York’s “No-Fault Law” incentivizes doctors to file insurance claims by requiring insurers to pay up to $50,000 for medical expenses for individuals injured in road accidents.

Taxi drivers, including those employed by Uber and Lyft, are required to carry policies that cover up to $200,000 for those individuals injured. 

“These substantial possible no-fault recoveries can incentivize providers with ill intent to over-diagnose, over-treat, and over-bill to recover the most money for themselves,” American Transit said in a statement. 

The lawsuit accuses Emmanuel Hostin of performing surgeries on two individuals involved in “low-impact” collisions that should have caused “no more than soft-tissue injuries.” Despite this, he allegedly conducted arthroscopic surgery within two months, effectively bypassing conservative treatment options, the Daily Mail noted. 

American Transit attorney Williams Natbony described “No-Fault” fraud as a “huge problem in New York.” 

Emmanuel Hostin’s defense attorney, Daniel Thwaites, called the lawsuit “meritless” and accused American Transit of being bankrupt. 

“It is meant to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given to American Transit insureds and their passengers,” Thwaites said.

“The real story here is about an insurance carrier abusing the legal system to limit and restrict health care benefits to its insureds and their passengers, and write off its proper obligations,” the defense attorney added. 

American Transit is seeking to recover more than $450 million in damages in the RICO case.

Melania Trump Inks Documentary Deal w/ Amazon

(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) Incoming First Lady Melania Trump reportedly signed a $40 million deal with Amazon for a documentary on her life, according to the New York Post.

The documentary began filming in December 2024 and will be directed by Brett Ratner.

“By being removed from constant public exposure and being mysterious, she’s driven up both interest in her everyday life, and this has driven up her price,” a source told the Post.

President-elect Donald Trump and their son Barron are both slated to appear in the documentary as well.

An Amazon representative shared more information with Fox News.

“We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world,” the representative said.

The statement added the film will “give viewers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look” at the first lady.

Commentator Brett Cooper praised the news on social media.

“And she deserves it,” Cooper wrote. “Criminal that her grace, class, and style wasn’t highlighted in their previous term.”

Disney also was reportedly trying to purchase the film and offered $14 million for it, according to the Post.

A source added there was a lot of interest as Melania Trump is notoriously private.

“Melania has carefully limited and controlled both her image and access to her—which has driven public interest,” they said.

The president-elect was rumored to have helped her secure the deal.

“I’m also told her deal also gives her a piece of the backend, and that her husband helped structure the project,” the source added while speaking with the outlet.

Melania Trump previously released a book on her life and it has stayed on The New York Times’s best-selling list since its October 2024 release.

“Writing my memoir has been an amazing journey filled with emotional highs and lows,” she told Fox News while promoting her book. “Each story shaped me into who I am today.”

Suspected Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber at Trump Hotel Used ChatGPT to Plan Attack

Suspected Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber at Trump Hotel Used ChatGPT to Plan Attack

(Headline USA) The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative artificial intelligence including ChatGPT to help plan the attack, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.

A laptop, cellphone and watch are still under review nearly a week after 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger reportedly shot himself just before the truck blew up.

However, online theories have emerged suggesting that Livelsberger may have been a whistleblower ready to expose either U.S. military operations in the Middle East or else a cover-up of its secretive drone test flights.

Those theories rest on the possibility that he was shot sometime prior to the rented Cybertruck’s suicide mission and that its self-driving feature may have been deployed to pilot the vehicle to its destination.

His familiarity with the cutting-edge AI technology will likely bolster skepticism among those who argue that elements of the story do not logically compute.

Among those are the fact that the Trump-supporting Green Beret would have targeted the president-elect’s hotel and that identifying documents including his passport happened to survive the conflagration that charred the body inside beyond recognition.

Military experts further maintain that Livelsberger’s training would have given him the know-how to execute a much more deadly and sophisticated attack.

The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the Trump International Hotel.

Authorities maintain that Livelsberger acted alone.

The new developments also follow suspicions that the Vegas attack may have been linked with an early-morning terror attack in New Orleans due to what investigators insist were a series of remarkable coincidences.

Both of the now-deceased suspects were Army servicemen who had been stationed at North Carolina’s Fort Bragg and had done tours in Afghanistan. Both also used the little-known app Turo to rent electric vehicles that were used in the carefully planned attacks.

Shamsud Din Jabbar, the driver who fatally plowed down 14 revelers on Bourbon Street before engaging New Orleans police in a shootout, had been on at least two prior planning expeditions, during which he used Meta Glasses to record and surveille the layout of the French Quarter.

An investigation of Livelsberger’s searches through ChatGPT indicated he was looking for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel and whether fireworks were legal in Arizona.

Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, called the use of generative AI a “game-changer” and said the department was sharing information with other law-enforcement agencies.

“This is the first incident that I’m aware of on U.S. soil where ChatGPT is utilized to help an individual build a particular device,” he said. “It’s a concerning moment.”

Ironically, billionaire Elon Musk, a key supporter and adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, was instrumental in the development of both the Cybertruck and ChatGPT—whose parent company, OpenAI, Musk helped found before an acrimonious split.

During a roughly half-hour-long news conference, Las Vegas police and federal law enforcement officials unveiled new details about the New Year’s Day explosion.

Among the details law enforcement disclosed: Livelsberger stopped during the drive to Las Vegas to pour racing-grade fuel into the Cybertruck, which then dripped the substance.

The vehicle was loaded with 60 pounds of pyrotechnic material. Officials are still uncertain exactly what detonated the explosion, but they said it could have been the flash from the firearm that Livelsberger used to fatally shoot himself.

Livelsberger, who was living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, left notes saying the explosion was a stunt meant to be a “wake up call ” for the nation’s troubles, officials said last week.

He left cellphone notes saying he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”

Livelsberger’s letters touched on political grievances, societal problems and domestic and international issues, including the war in Ukraine.

He wrote that the U.S. was “terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”

Investigators had been trying to determine if Livelsberger wanted to make a political point, given the Tesla and the hotel bearing the president-elect’s name.

Livelsberger harbored no ill will toward Trump, law enforcement officials said. In one of the notes he left, he said the country needed to “rally around” him and Musk.

Trump Announces Patriotic Rebrand of the Gulf of Mexico

Trump Announces Patriotic Rebrand of the Gulf of Mexico

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump announced a patriotic rebrand of the Gulf of Mexico during a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday.

In the first news conference since his reelection was officially certified on Monday, Trump said he planned to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, calling it a “beautiful name” with a “beautiful ring.”

“It’s ours,” Trump said. “We’re going to be changing—sort of the opposite of [President Joe] Biden, where he’s closing everything up, eventually getting rid of 50 to 60 trillion dollars of assets—we’re changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.”

Following Trump’s announcement, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., delared her intent to introduce legislation to make Trump’s proposal official.

“President Trump’s second term is off to a GREAT start,” Greene wrote on X. “I’ll be introducing legislation ASAP to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to its rightful name, the Gulf of America!”

Conservative pundits and supporters on social media likewise raved over the surprise bombshell, which Trump tossed out casually about 25 minutes into the 70 minute remarks.

“Damn I love this. The Gulf of America!” wrote talk-radio host Rich Zeoli.

Some called Trump’s plan “amazing,” while others celebrated that “America’s so freaking back.”

A day after the resignation of far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump also reiterated his desire to make Canada the 51st state of America and elect hockey great Wayne Gretzky as its governor.

”Canada and the United States, that would really be something,” Trump said, while discussing the possibility of economic pressure, such as tariffs, if the U.S. neighbors on its northern and southern border refuse to assist with his ambitious immigration agenda.

“You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security,” he added.

Trump also reupped his previously stated desires to take back the Panama Canal and to annex Greenland—which his son Donald Trump Jr. visited on Tuesday.

In response to a reporter’s question at the Mar-a-Lago conference, the president-elect refused to rule out using military action to occupy the two territories if national security were at stake.

“I can’t assure you—you’re talking about Panama and Greenland,” Trump told reporters. “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But I can say this—we need them for economic security.”

He slammed former President Jimmy Carter’s agreement to cede U.S. control over the Panama Canal for the price of a dollar after it cost some 38,000 U.S. lives to build, and he accused Panamanian officials of violating the terms of that agreement.

Trump’s property-acquisition plans have inspired social-media users, including popular podcast pundit Benny Johnson, to post maps depicting what the new nation will look like once it takes effect.

Tuesday’s press conference inspired conservative influencer Chaya Raichik to add a new entry on her Libs of TikTok account, with an image of the new Gulf of America that was captioned, “MAP BREAK.”

New Jersey Eliminates Literacy Test for Teachers

(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) New Jersey removed literacy tests for public school teachers.

Act 1669 went into effect on Jan. 1 and was signed by Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy in response to a teacher shortage in the state.

The bill removed the requirement for teachers to pass an exam testing basic literacy skills, writing and math.

However, teachers will still be required to pass a Praxis Subject Tests which is specific to their field.

The bill was originally passed in June 2024.

Democrat Sen. Jim Beach praised the bill before it was passed, according to Fox News.

“We need more teachers,” Beach said. “This is the best way to get them.”

The New Jersey Education Association previously claimed the test was a barrier for teachers to receive their certification.

Critics quickly took to social media to address the lowered requirements in the Garden State.

Tesla founder Elon Musk questioned the move by the Democrat governor.

“So teachers don’t need to know how to read in New Jersey?” Musk wrote. “Seems like that would make it challenging to teach kids how to read.”

Others said parents should either homeschool their children or put their kids in private school.

Some used sarcasm to express their disagreement with the move.

“Yay, we’re now hiring teachers who might not know how to read!” another wrote. “Because who needs literacy when you can teach by vibes alone?”

New York, California and Arizona previously lowered teaching standards years prior, according to Campus Safety Magazine.

Heather Peske, the president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, previously told USA TODAY the move to remove test standards will have a negative impact if new measures are not added.

“For states to drop standards without replacing them with another meaningful measure of academic aptitude doesn’t do anyone a favor in the long-term,” Peske said. “States are making it easier to become a teacher, though the job of being a teacher hasn’t gotten any easier.”

Trump: FBI Knows Identity of J6 Pipe Bomber

Trump: FBI Knows Identity of J6 Pipe Bomber

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump said at a Tuesday press conference that the FBI knows the identity of the person who planted pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic national committees’ offices the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill uprising.

Addressing questions about whether he’ll pardon J6ers, Trump said he would issue “major pardons.” He defended this on the grounds that the crowd of so-called insurrectionists was almost entirely unarmed, and that the only person murdered on Jan. 6 was unarmed protestor Ashli Babbit.

“And why didn’t they find the pipe bomber?” Trump then asked. “You know, they know who the pipe bomber is. The FBI knows who it is.”

Trump’s remarks came on the heels of the FBI trickling out some new info on the cold case, including that the suspect is 5 feet 7 inches tall. The bureau also was also posting previously unreleased video of the suspect placing one of the bombs. Trump’s remarks also follow a bombshell report from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and the House Administration Committee suggesting an FBI coverup.

“After more than 1,400 days since two pipe bombs were placed on Capitol Hill, the FBI has made no arrest and has charged no individuals with planting the explosive devices,” Loudermilk’s report said. “Since its initial progress in the early weeks and months of the investigation, there has been little meaningful progress toward the apprehension of the suspect.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris continues to be tight-lipped on the subject, despite the fact that her motorcade drove past the DNC pipe bomb on Jan. 6. Harris left the Capitol at 11:21 a.m. arrived to the DNC at 11:25 a.m., but the nearby pipe bomb wasn’t discovered until 1:07 p.m. by a plainclothes Capitol Police officer.

The lack of answers have driven many to suspect that it may have been a false-flag attempt overseen by the feds themselves to divert law enforcement from the Capitol right as the Jan. 6 protest was turning violent.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., asked DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz last September whether the pipe bomber was an FBI informant, and the IG said he couldn’t recall.
