🔵 WH Cocaine Probe

Good evening. It’s Tuesday, May 27.

Three of the biggest unsolved mysteries in recent political history are being reviewed by the FBI, deputy director Dan Bongino announced Monday.

Bongino, a former NYPD officer, Secret Service agent and conservative commentator, revealed on X that he and bureau Director Kash Patel had decided to “either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention” to the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing during the Biden administration, the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, and the planting of pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committees hours before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” Bongino added in his post. “If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”

 
 

Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Tuesday that he would not vote for President Donald Trump’s House-passed “one big, beautiful bill” in its present form.

Trump gave Senate Republicans permission to make major changes to the bill on Sunday as some GOP senators are warning that the package is dead-on-arrival without significant reforms. On “The Charlie Kirk Show,” Scott said he would “absolutely” vote against it without additional spending cuts.

“If they brought it to the floor like right now, there’s not a chance it’ll get the≈ needs … Look we all know we have to balance the budget,” Scott said. “Look, we know that it’s getting harder to sell our treasuries, we know interest rates are going up. We want to get interest rates down, we can get inflation under control. That means balance the budget.”

President Donald Trump issued a new ultimatum to Canada on Tuesday, saying it can either pay $61 billion to be covered by the proposed U.S. “Golden Dome” missile defense system—or become the 51st state and get access to it free of charge.

Trump has repeatedly pushed Canada to join the U.S. and mocked then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by calling him “Governor Trudeau.”

Canada has rebuffed Trump at every juncture, and the country’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, won this year’s federal election after running an anti-Trump campaign that emphasized the importance of Canadian sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Trump administration is weighing requiring all foreign students applying to study in the United States to undergo social media vetting — a significant expansion of previous such efforts, according to a cable obtained by POLITICO.

In preparation for such required vetting, the administration is ordering U.S. Embassies and consular sections to pause scheduling new interviews for such student visa applicants, according to the cable, dated Tuesday and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

If the administration carries out the plan, it could severely slow down student visa processing. It also could hurt many universities who rely heavily on foreign students to boost their financial coffers.

A pair of suspects wanted in the hit-and-run jet ski death of a teenage Air Force recruit on a Texas lake have been arrested — and both are believed to be illegal immigrants.

Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and a man she allegedly fled from Grapevine Lake with were arrested Tuesday after a standoff with police at their Dallas-area home, according to Fox 4.

Gonzalez is suspected of fatally striking 18-year-old Ava Moore with a jet ski as she kayaked on the lake Sunday evening, and then fleeing from the scene in the man’s car as bystanders tried in vain to save the teen.

Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted of financial crimes in 2022 by an Atlanta jury and sentenced to federal prison, are expected to be granted full pardons.

Margo Martin, Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor, posted a video to social media showing President Donald Trump calling Savannah and Grayson, the couple’s children, to let them know about the news.

“Your parents are going to be free and clean,” the President told the family. “Wish them good luck.”

A COVID-19 variant that has led to a resurgence in cases in China has been discovered in the United States, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed, but the agency indicated that fewer than 20 cases have been found in the United States so far.

A spokesperson for the CDC told The Epoch Times on May 25 that the agency “is aware of reported cases of COVID-19 NB.1.8.1 in China and is in regular contact with international partners.”

Some cases of NB.1.8.1 have been found in the United States, the spokesperson said, noting that it’s “fewer than 20 sequences in the U.S. baseline surveillance data to date.”
