‘Clinton Corruption Files’: New Evidence Released On Clinton Family Foundation

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have given Congress a new set of documents that show how Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation took donations from both foreign and domestic groups that wanted to have an impact.

This has raised new concerns that federal prosecutors who tried to look into pay-to-play claims against the former first family ten years ago were not given this evidence.

Just the News was told by officials that the documents were sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the last few days. They show many times that foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor tried to win over the Clintons by giving money to their family charity, even when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was the U.S. president from 1993 to 2001.

The officials stated that some of the information was brought to their attention by whistleblowers who indicated that it was hidden from a corruption probe that the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. attorney’s office was doing in 2015 before the Obama administration’s Justice Department shut it down.

The documents will make clear that there was an effort “to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money,” said one official directly familiar with the documents.

Hillary Clinton is still engulfed in allegations from the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

New disclosures from the government’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 election, otherwise known as alleged “Trump-Russia collusion,” have revealed a stunning admission from top Obama-era officials.

A newly declassified memo, released by Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, shows that U.S. intelligence officials concluded Russia did not play a significant role in Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.

Paul Sperry, a senior reporter for Real Clear Investigations, reported that sources informed him that there are damning text messages and emails showing coordination between the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign aides.

“DEVELOPING: I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…” Perry wrote.

The documents released by Gabbard are the clearest proof yet that officials within the Obama administration had serious doubts about Russian interference, even as they proceeded with the investigation.

The memo, dated 2016, told then-President Barack Obama directly that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”

While acknowledging prior reports about a possible breach of Illinois voter rolls and failed targeting attempts in other states, the memo clearly states that those efforts never compromised voting systems—and didn’t come close to altering results.

“The targeting of infrastructure not used in casting ballots makes it highly unlikely it would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote,” the document reads. It goes further: “Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes.”

The disclosure is a major vindication for Trump, who has long argued that the Russia collusion narrative was a hoax pushed by the Clinton campaign and Obama intelligence officials to sabotage his presidency before it began.

And now the pressure is turning on the people who pushed it.

FBI officials are preparing the groundwork for a possible criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and others involved in launching and running the Crossfire Hurricane probe.

This document falsely claimed connections between Trump and Russian agents.

A 200-page congressional audit has been compiled after a secret meeting last weekend between the DOJ and intelligence officials. They’re now looking at whether to declassify even more documents, including Crossfire Hurricane notes and transcripts from special counsel John Durham’s investigation, which concluded in 2023 that the Trump–Russia connection was baseless.

Gabbard’s disclosure appears to be the first step in a broader transparency effort.

Tyler Robinson Makes First Court Appearance In Charlie Kirk Murder Case

Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, made his first in-person court appearance Thursday in Provo, Utah, drawing immediate attention for his behavior inside the courtroom.

Robinson appeared in civilian clothing but remained fully shackled throughout the proceeding, a security measure ordered by the court due to the severity of the charges.

Observers in the courtroom noted that Robinson smiled and laughed as the hearing began, behavior that raised concerns among those present given the gravity of the case.

Video from inside the courtroom, released under strict broadcasting limitations, showed Robinson standing quietly as his attorney briefly stepped aside, offering the public its first clear look at the accused since his arrest.

Reporters described Robinson as appearing relaxed, shifting casually and grinning while facing charges in one of the most high profile political murder cases in recent years.

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn, reporting outside the courthouse, said the appearance marked the first time Robinson had been physically seen by the public since his arrest following the September shooting.

Finn said the hearing “set the table” for what is expected to be a lengthy and high stakes legal battle.

Thursday’s hearing focused largely on a dispute over media access to the proceedings.

Robinson’s defense team asked the court to limit camera coverage and reduce the presence of reporters, arguing that intense national attention could jeopardize his right to a fair trial.

Defense attorneys cited earlier closed hearings and warned that widespread media exposure could influence potential jurors.

A coalition of local and national media organizations opposed the request, filing motions urging the court to preserve full public access due to the significance of the case.

Judge Tony Graf said he is considering both sides as he determines long term rules regarding cameras, recordings, and public attendance.

Prosecutors have said they intend to pursue aggravated murder charges and may seek the death penalty.

Robinson, who is 22 years old, has not yet entered a plea.

Additional hearings are expected to determine whether the case will proceed under full public access or with tighter courtroom restrictions.

For now, Robinson’s first appearance has given the public its first look at the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, as the case continues to unfold.

If you looked at Laura’s life from the outside, it might have seemed quiet, even stable. In truth, it was shaped by absence. She lived alone in a house that still carried echoes of the family she had lost, rooms filled with memories she could not bring herself to change. Her husband had left after grief made them strangers, and her daughter’s room remained untouched, a small shrine to a life that ended too soon. The only thing Laura still held onto was her grandfather’s diner—a worn, creaking place filled with chipped mugs, uneven floors, and memories steeped in coffee and kindness. It was never meant to be glamorous. It was meant to be human.

The diner had once thrived when the neighborhood moved slower and people knew one another by name. Her grandfather, Henry, believed food was a form of care, a way to nourish more than hunger. Laura bought the place after he passed, even when it made little financial sense, because it felt like staying connected to something solid. But times changed. Costs rose, customers thinned, and chain cafés replaced familiar faces. Laura worked alone, skipped meals, and watched unpaid bills pile up. Eventually, she called a broker and accepted that love alone might not be enough to keep the doors open. The night before everything was to move forward, the diner sat nearly empty, quiet except for the hum of old lights and Laura’s thoughts.

Then the bell over the door rang. An elderly man stepped inside, unsure and hesitant, leaning on a cane with a tiny dog trotting beside him. He asked for the cheapest item on the menu, careful and polite, already counting what little he had. Something in Laura softened. She invited him to sit and cooked the way she used to—slowly, intentionally, with care. They shared a simple meal and conversation, and before she realized it, Laura found herself telling him about her losses, her fear of letting go, and how tired she felt holding everything together. The man listened without fixing or judging. When he left, she refused his money, believing his presence had already given her more than enough.

The next morning, Laura found an envelope taped to the diner door, addressed to her. Inside was a modest bill and a letter signed “Henry.” The man wrote about his own losses, his loneliness, and how being welcomed had reminded him that he still mattered. Laura taped the letter near the register, her hands trembling but steadying. When the broker called later that day, she declined. She wasn’t ready to sell—not yet. Some places are held together not by profit, but by moments of connection. And sometimes, one small kindness is enough to remind you what is still worth holding on to.

Seven-year-old Tyler sat quietly at his lemonade stand, arranging his cups as the hours passed. Most people slowed down but continued driving, unsure how to approach a child facing a serious illness. Neighbors who once greeted him warmly now kept their distance, unsure what to say. Still, Tyler kept a hopeful smile, determined to help his mother in his own small way. His bright yellow shirt shone in the sun, a small reminder of the light he carried.

The quiet afternoon changed when the gentle rumble of motorcycles echoed down the street. Four bikers arrived and parked beside Tyler’s stand instead of passing him by like everyone else. While neighbors stepped indoors, Tyler stood up with new hope in his eyes. The lead biker noticed a small note taped beneath the “50 cents” sign and knelt to read it. His face softened with emotion as he understood the heartfelt message Tyler had written.

Wanting to help, the biker placed a generous donation in Tyler’s jar and introduced himself kindly. He praised Tyler’s courage and explained that he and his friends admired brave spirits like his. When Tyler’s mother came outside, they reassured her with gentle, respectful voices. She learned her son was simply trying to ease her worries with his thoughtful idea. Her eyes filled with gratitude as she realized how deeply Tyler cared for her well-being.

Word spread quickly, and soon dozens of bikers arrived, each offering support and compassion. What began as an empty lemonade stand became a gathering of kindness and community. Neighbors slowly returned, moved by the way strangers showed such genuine warmth. Tyler’s jar filled, but the greatest gift was the love surrounding him and his mom. As the sun set, the street glowed with the reminder that kindness often arrives when least expected.

**K9 Dog Barks at a Family in the Airport — What They Discover Leaves Everyone Stunned**

In the bustling environment of an international airport, travelers are often accustomed to the usual sights and sounds. The constant murmur of announcements, the rolling of luggage across the floor, and the sight of K9 units diligently patrolling the area. However, one day, a routine patrol took an unexpected turn when a K9 dog began barking incessantly at a seemingly ordinary family.
The family, visibly puzzled, stood by as the handler tried to understand what the dog was sensing. These specially trained dogs are known for their keen senses and are trained to detect various substances and threats. It wasn’t long before airport security was alerted, and a thorough investigation was initiated to ensure the safety of all passengers.

As security personnel escorted the family to a private area, curiosity among other travelers peaked. People speculated about what could possibly be hidden within the family’s luggage. However, what was discovered was something that left everyone, including the security team, in disbelief.

The findings revealed a heartwarming twist to the tale. Hidden within their luggage was not a threat, but rather a surprise for a beloved family member that the dog had sensed. The family had been transporting a special gift, imbued with scents that triggered the dog’s reaction. This unexpected incident not only showcased the incredible abilities of the K9 units but also brought about a moment of joy and relief once the misunderstanding was cleared.

On an ordinary morning, I stepped into my garden expecting nothing more dramatic than watering flowers and shooing away the neighborhood cats. But the moment I opened the gate, an unexpected, pungent odor drifted through the air—sharp, heavy, and instantly unsettling. When I followed the smell toward the flowerbed, I spotted something shifting slightly on the ground. It was oddly shaped, reddish, and glistening as if it had been turned inside out. For a split second, my mind flooded with wild ideas—some mysterious animal, a diseased plant, or something unfamiliar and possibly dangerous. I stood frozen in place, debating whether to ignore it, investigate, or abandon my yard entirely until someone braver came along.

Eventually, curiosity pushed me past hesitation. I approached slowly, careful not to touch or disturb whatever it was. Up close, the object remained unrecognizable, which only intensified the discomfort of not knowing what I was dealing with. Trying to calm my racing thoughts, I took a photo with my phone and began searching for answers. The internet delivered dozens of theories—some scientific, some ridiculous—but one explanation appeared repeatedly: a bizarre-looking fungus that tends to alarm unsuspecting gardeners. The suggestion was reassuring enough to shift my fear into cautious fascination. Maybe there wasn’t a threat lurking in my yard—maybe it was simply nature showing me one of its stranger, lesser-known faces.

The more I read, the clearer the picture became. The fungus was described as unusual but harmless, something that blooms after damp weather and releases a strong odor to attract insects. Its sudden appearance and striking appearance are exactly what make so many people mistake it for something alarming. With that knowledge, the uneasy mystery melted away. When I returned outside, I looked at the strange growth differently—not as something intrusive or frightening, but as a sign of how complex and unpredictable gardens can be. The environment hadn’t changed overnight; I had merely encountered something outside my comfort zone.

As I finished watering the flowers, I realized how symbolic the experience was. The fear I felt came not from danger, but from uncertainty—proof of how quickly the mind fills empty spaces with worst-case scenarios. That morning reminded me that even unsettling moments can become opportunities to learn when we slow down and seek understanding. I walked back inside feeling lighter, grateful that a moment of surprise had turned into a quiet lesson: not everything unfamiliar deserves panic. Sometimes, all it needs is curiosity, patience, and a closer look.

‘Clinton Corruption Files’: New Evidence Released On Clinton Family Foundation

This document falsely claimed connections between Trump and Russian agents.

A 200-page congressional audit has been compiled after a secret meeting last weekend between the DOJ and intelligence officials. They’re now looking at whether to declassify even more documents, including Crossfire Hurricane notes and transcripts from special counsel John Durham’s investigation, which concluded in 2023 that the Trump–Russia connection was baseless.

Gabbard’s disclosure appears to be the first step in a broader transparency effort.

Grammy-winning artist Pras Michel, a founding member of the hip-hop group the Fugees, was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in federal prison. The sentencing concludes a complex legal saga involving international money laundering, illegal lobbying, and one of the most significant violations of campaign finance laws in U.S. history.

The case, which centers on a conspiracy to funnel foreign money into the 2012 U.S. presidential election, highlights the growing scrutiny regarding foreign influence in American politics and the severe penalties for those who facilitate it.

The Charges: A Multi-Million Dollar Influence Operation

Federal prosecutors successfully argued that Michel served as a central conduit in a sprawling scheme orchestrated by Low Taek Jho, a Malaysian financier better known as Jho Low. Low is currently a fugitive and a central figure in the multi-billion dollar 1MDB sovereign wealth fund scandal.

According to court documents, Michel knowingly accepted approximately $120 million from Low. The funds were allegedly utilized to:

• Gain illicit access to the highest levels of the U.S. government.
• Secure influence during the 2012 re-election campaign of President Barack Obama.
• Lobby the Trump administration to drop investigations into the 1MDB embezzlement scandal.

The “Straw Donor” Scheme Explained

A pivotal element of the prosecution’s case involved the use of “straw donors.” Under U.S. federal election law, it is illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to political campaigns. To circumvent this, Michel was accused of deploying a network of approximately 20 individuals to make donations in their own names, using money secretly supplied by Low.

This mechanism effectively disguised the true source of the capital, allowing a foreign national to exert financial leverage within the American political system without appearing in official Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.

Sentencing Arguments: Intent vs. Manipulation

The sentencing phase presented a stark contrast between the government’s recommendation and the defense’s plea.

The Prosecution’s Stance:
Department of Justice attorneys argued that Michel’s actions constituted an egregious breach of public trust. They characterized the operation as a sophisticated, multilayered attempt to manipulate U.S. democracy for the benefit of a foreign fugitive. Citing the massive sums involved and the damage to the integrity of the electoral process, prosecutors initially recommended a life sentence.

The Defense’s Stance:
Michel’s legal team argued for leniency, requesting a sentence of roughly three years. They portrayed the musician as an individual out of his depth, manipulated by Low’s vast wealth and assurances. The defense maintained that Michel lacked malicious intent and did not possess the sophistication attributed to him by the government.

The Judicial Ruling:
The presiding judge ultimately settled on a 14-year sentence. While significantly less than the life term sought by prosecutors, the sentence reflects the severity of the crimes. The court emphasized that the deliberate nature of the concealment and the sheer scale of the financial transfers warranted a substantial penalty to deter future foreign interference.

Broader Implications for Campaign Finance Compliance

The conviction of a high-profile public figure like Pras Michel serves as a critical case study for legal and financial professionals. It underscores the Department of Justice’s commitment to enforcing the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and federal election laws.

The case highlights several key compliance vulnerabilities:

1. Third-Party Intermediaries: The risks associated with individuals acting as unregistered agents for foreign principals.
2. Source of Funds Verification: The necessity for rigorous due diligence regarding the origins of large-scale political contributions.
3. Global Financial Intersections: How international corruption scandals (such as 1MDB) can intersect with domestic U.S. policy and elections.

Michel, who has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, is expected to appeal the conviction. As the legal process continues, the 14-year sentence stands as a stark warning regarding the intersection of celebrity influence, global finance, and the strict boundaries of U.S.

Trump Cites ‘Obama Sycophant,’ Continues Pressing Senate GOP To Nix Filibuster

President Donald Trump is still pushing for the Senate GOP to get rid of the filibuster. The president posted a video on Truth Social on Monday that included audio of former Attorney General Eric Holder saying that if Democrats win a “trifecta” in the 2028 elections, they should think about extending the Supreme Court.

Holder said this while talking to Ben Meiselas, who co-founded MeidasTouch, which posted the footage last month.

In the Monday Truth Social post, Trump referred to Holder, who served under Democratic President Barack Obama, as an “Obama sycophant” and said that “Eric Holder (known as ‘FAST AND FURIOUS’) just gave a Speech where he emphatically stated, above all else, that Democrats will PACK the Supreme Court of the United States if they get the chance. The word is, he wants 21 Radical Left Activist Judges, not being satisfied with the heretofore 15 that they were seeking.”

Trump said that getting rid of the filibuster will help Republicans win the 2026 midterm elections and the 2028 presidential election.

“It will be 21, they will destroy our Constitution, and there’s not a thing that the Republicans can do about it unless we TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, which will lead to an easy WIN of the Midterms, and an even easier WIN in the Presidential Election of 2028,” he asserted.

“Why would the Republicans even think about giving them this opportunity? The American People don’t want gridlock, they want their Leaders to GET THINGS DONE — TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND HAVE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOUR YEARS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, BY FAR, WITH NOT EVEN THE HINT OF A SHUTDOWN OF OUR GREAT NATION ON JANUARY 30TH!” Trump declared in the post.

This is the second time in recent weeks that Trump has gone after former President Barack Obama.

The new interim U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York, appointed to the post by Trump, once called out Joe Biden and Obama as well as twice-failed presidential contender Hillary Clinton.

John A. Sarcone III, a lawyer in private practice in Westchester County, accused Biden of being a “traitor” and committing “treason” in a 2022 social media post.

After Biden tweeted on New Year’s Eve that year he was “ready to get things done,” Sarcone responded, “Traitor should be tried for treason. Worst person to occupy the White House.”

Sarcone once tweeted that Obama should be “the first illegal alien deported” while calling for Clinton to be jailed for treason.

Sarcone was allowed to be placed in his interim position without needing Senate confirmation. And while he does not have any prosecutorial experience, he has a lengthy track record as an attorney who has also worked for Trump’s campaigns.

When Sarcone was sworn in on Monday in Albany, he defended his limited prosecutorial experience by asserting in his speech that what truly defines a good prosecutor is “judgment.”

“I believe the prosecutorial power, and discretion,” he said, “is best entrusted to those with the full breadth of professional and life experiences, from which common sense, wisdom, and informed judgment emerge.” Sarcone said his priorities will include securing the border with Canada; ending “lawlessness and willful disregard” for federal laws; and fighting against public corruption, scams and consumer fraud.

In addition, the interim U.S. attorney suggested he could target Upstate colleges and universities, saying federal prosecutors will support students’ rights “to be free from harassment or threats because of their religious beliefs.”

“Our reach will not stop at prosecuting those who choose to violate our laws, but also those who knowingly support any violations in any way, shape or form,” he said, as noted by the media outlet in its report.

A career spent caring for children teaches you a great deal about strength, but nothing prepared me for the little boy I met decades ago—a child whose heart needed urgent repair and whose spirit somehow remained gentle despite everything he faced. I still remember how small he looked in his hospital bed, trying to stay brave for everyone around him. His surgery was complex, but it went better than any of us hoped. By morning, his heartbeat was stronger, his breathing steady, and his future finally within reach. But instead of finding relieved parents at his bedside, I walked into a room that felt impossibly empty. His belongings were untouched, his blankets neatly folded, and the only thing left behind was a stuffed dinosaur on the pillow. His parents had quietly signed the discharge forms and disappeared, leaving behind a child who needed comfort just as much as he needed care. That moment changed everything—not only for him, but for the family he would eventually become part of.

My wife and I met him the next day, unsure where the path would lead but certain he deserved stability and love. One visit turned into many, and soon he became part of our home—tentative at first, sleeping on the floor beside his bed, calling us “Doctor” and “Ma’am,” unsure whether letting himself hope was safe. Slowly, trust grew in quiet ways: a hand held during a fever, a whispered “Mom” during a restless night, a shout of “Dad!” after a scraped knee. As he grew, he filled every corner of our home with kindness, determination, and a deep desire to give back. Education became his way of honoring the second chance he’d been given, and eventually he chose a path in medicine, hoping to help children who faced challenges similar to his own. The day he matched at our hospital as a surgical resident, he stood in our kitchen with tears in his eyes, telling me that saving his life had given him a reason to live it fully.

Years later, we were working side by side when an emergency call pulled us into the ER—my wife had been in an accident. She was bruised but stable, and at her bedside stood a woman we didn’t recognize, someone who had pulled her from the vehicle and stayed until help arrived. Her clothes were worn, her hands scraped, and her eyes carried years of exhaustion. When she looked at my son, something shifted. Her gaze dropped to the faint scar above his heart, and her breath caught. She whispered his name like it was both a memory and a plea. My son froze as she revealed the truth she had carried alone for decades: she was the one who had brought him to the hospital all those years ago—and the one who had left. Fear, hardship, and impossible circumstances had shaped a decision she had regretted every day since. And now, by chance or fate, she had saved the life of the woman who raised him.

The moment that followed wasn’t simple, but it was honest. My son listened, torn between past hurt and present understanding, and finally offered the one thing he knew she had never been able to give herself: a chance to begin again. In time, we helped her find stability, medical care, and the support she had long lacked. That Thanksgiving, she joined us at a table where sorrow and gratitude sat side by side. My daughter placed his old stuffed dinosaur in front of her plate, a quiet symbol of both loss and hope. When we raised our glasses, it wasn’t just for second chances—it was for the courage it takes to accept them. Looking around at the family we had built through resilience and love, I realized that mending a heart is not always a medical act. Sometimes, it is the choice to stay, to forgive, and to let compassion shape the life that follows.
