Good evening. It’s Wednesday, August 13.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly directed officials to “compromise” “normal” procedures to rush a politicized 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment – despite concerns from then-Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rogers, who allegedly said his team did not have “enough time” to review the intelligence to be “absolutely confident” that Russia was involved in the 2016 election.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified emails Wednesday. Fox News Digital obtained the declassified records.

“The leading figures in the Russia hoax have spent years deceiving the American public by presenting their manufactured and politicized assessments as credible intelligence,” Gabbard told Fox News Digital. “The email released today reinforces what we already exposed: the decision to compromise standards and violate protocols in the creation of the 2017 manufactured intelligence assessment was deliberate and came from the very top.”

 
 

Russia has floated a plan to the US to occupy parts of Ukraine in a way that would mimic the West Bank, the Times reported on Wednesday.

This means that Russia would take military and economic control of areas it has occupied in Ukraine under a separate governing body. Ukraine’s borders would not change, but Russia would cede control over undisclosed areas.

“It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank,” an unnamed source with ties to the US National Security Council (NSC) told the Times.

President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that there will be “very severe consequences” if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to agree to end the war in Ukraine following Friday’s U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump was “very clear” during a virtual meeting with European leaders that the United States aims to secure a ceasefire at the summit.

In the same meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told participants he believes Putin “is bluffing” ahead of his talks with Trump. Zelensky accused Putin of “trying to apply pressure on all sectors of the Ukrainian front” to project that Russia is “capable of occupying all of Ukraine.”

First lady Melania Trump is putting Hunter Biden on $1 billion notice over what she claims are “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about her, demanding he immediately remove and retract the content and issue an apology or face legal action, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the letter that Alejandro Brito, attorney serving as litigation counsel for the first lady, sent to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Aug. 6.

Brito demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” which were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in early August.

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer whose scandal in 2017 was pivotal in drawing global attention to the #MeToo movement, will be tried for a third time by New York prosecutors in the sexual assault case of Jessica Mann.

New York Judge Curtis Farber said on Wednesday that he wants the trial to take place before the end of this year.

A jury could not render a verdict in June on a rape charge accusing Weinstein of sexually assaulting Mann, a former actor.

As New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani promotes the idea of city-run grocery stores, one city-owned market in Missouri closed its doors on Tuesday after years of struggling and millions of taxpayer dollars.

Local news outlets reported the doors to the Kansas City Sun Fresh market were locked that morning with a note saying the store was “unable to serve” the community.

“Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we are no longer, at this time, able to serve the residents of this important community,” the note read, according to KSHB in Kansas City. “It has always been our dream and passion to provide quality products and services in a safe, family environment. At this time, unfortunately, we are unable to do that.”

A new documentary about the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film Festival — because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from the terrorist group to use their horrific footage of the massacre.

The festival claims the movie, called “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,” did not meet certain requirements to screen at the prestigious September event, widely attended by Hollywood stars and bigwigs, including not securing so-called “legal clearance” to use Hamas’ livestreamed video of the rape, murder and kidnapping of Jews.

The stunned filmmakers, including Canadian director Barry Avrich, slammed the decision, telling Deadline that TIFF has “defied its mission and censored its own programming by refusing this film.”
