Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night wondered aloud why Taylor Lorenz, the author of a Washington Post story earlier in the day on the popular Twitter account “Libs of TikTok,” isn’t registered as a foreign agent. In the piece , the reporter makes note of findings from software developer Travis Brown that helped her reveal the right-wing account’s creator, Brooklyn-based real-estate agent Chaya Raichik. Specifically, Brown uncovered deleted tweets from the account, including those in which Raichik claimed she attended the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Brown, Lorenz notes, receives support from the German-based Prototype Fund. The fund, according to its website , “supports ideas in civic tech, data literacy, data security and software infrastructure” with money from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research. That funding, Carlson claimed, proves that “what happened to the woman who runs Libs of TikTok—her life being destroyed—was not the work of Taylor Lorenz... it was a … [Read more...] about Tucker Calls Reporter Who Unmasked ‘Libs of TikTok’ Creator a German Stooge

Eric Trump says he will reveal FBI raid surveillance tape
Eric Trump, the second son of the former president, said his family is in possession of surveillance tapes of the FBI raid at Donald Trump 's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, and this footage will "absolutely" be released "at the right time." "Will you—you still have the surveillance tape, is that correct? Will you—are you allowed to share that with the country?" Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Eric Trump on Monday. "Absolutely, Sean. At the right time," Eric Trump replied, adding that all law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, should wear body cameras for transparency reasons. Eric Trump's claim confirms what Christina Bobb—one of the former president's lawyers—already said last week about security cameras being on at the Florida home during most of the FBI search on Monday, August 8. According to what Bobb told the right-wing media network Real America's Voice last week, surveillance cameras were off for a short time while the FBI agents talked to Donald … [Read more...] about Eric Trump says he will reveal FBI raid surveillance tape
Trump’s FBI rants are “just like’ his Jan. 6 balancing act
Former President Donald Trump 's rhetoric following the FBI 's search of his Mar-a-Lago residence is "just like" his language leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, political experts say. On his Truth Social site on Sunday, Trump called the search of his Florida home a break-in, and a described it as "a sneak attack on democracy" that was conducted while he was away. The next day, Trump told Fox News he had offered help to the Justice Department with its ongoing investigation "because the temperature has to be brought down in the country." "If it isn't, terrible things are going to happen," the former president said, noting that there was "tremendous anger" in the United States as a result of "years of scams and witch hunts." His comments came after a man was shot dead while trying to breach an FBI office in Cincinnati, Ohio, last Thursday. The individual was believed to have been in Washington, D.C., in the days before the breach of the U.S. Capitol on … [Read more...] about Trump’s FBI rants are “just like’ his Jan. 6 balancing act
Princess Diana was “a mother at odds with the crown”—James Patterson
Princess Diana has been described as a "mother at odds with the crown" who wanted Prince William and Prince Harry to grow up as "normal kids," according to bestselling U.S. author James Patterson. Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of the release of his new book, Diana, William, and Harry , co-authored with Chris Mooney, Patterson said the princess "tried to control" and was "troubled by" the feeling that Harry would grow up labeled as "the spare" while William was destined to become king. The release of the book, which focuses on Diana's life as a mother, comes with the 25th anniversary on August 31 of her death at the age of 36 in a Paris car crash. "I think she tried to control it as much as she could," Patterson told Fox News Digital while speaking about Harry's and William's different positions in the line to the British throne. "I think she was troubled about it. That's a standard thing for families. One of the kids who do better in school or become a better … [Read more...] about Princess Diana was “a mother at odds with the crown”—James Patterson
Nikki Haley Slams Biden WH Foreign Policy — ‘They Think if They Say Something, It’s True’
On Tuesday, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley lambasted the Biden administration’s foreign policy on the one-year anniversary of the botched withdrawal out of Afghanistan. In reaction to the Biden White House claiming the United States was in a “stronger position” because of President Joe Biden’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, Haley told Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that members of the administration “think if they say something, it’s true.” She warned the United States was now “less safe.” “What’s amazing about that is they think if they say something, it’s true,” Haley lamented. “The second that blunder happened in Afghanistan, it was the green light for every enemy we had. Then you saw Russia move into Ukraine. Then you saw China starting to threaten Taiwan. Now you see Iran trying to build a nuclear weapon, but they’re also … trying to assassinate Americans on our own soil. That was the day America became weak. That was the day the … [Read more...] about Nikki Haley Slams Biden WH Foreign Policy — ‘They Think if They Say Something, It’s True’
GOP Rep. Turner: FBI Didn’t Have to Be so ‘Intrusive, Invasive’ of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Home
Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) weighed in on the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Turner asserted that the FBI “didn’t have to do the most intrusive, invasive execution” to obtain documents from Trump’s property. He also called for more information on what the FBI seized. “[O]ne thing that we know … is, first off, that the Department of Justice and the FBI had options,” Turner proclaimed. “They didn’t have to do the most intrusive, invasive execution to get these documents that are alleged to be highly classified by actually going into Mar-a-Lago and spending nine hours. They could have gone to court and asked for their subpoena to be enforced and these documents turned over to a court. We know from the warrant that they are making allegations that the president had classified documents, and from the inventory — notice did not include anything about passports — they allege that they have taken classified … [Read more...] about GOP Rep.

Liz Cheney mocks Kevin McCarthy’s speaking skills ahead of Wyoming primary
Polls indicate that Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is likely to lose her primary election Tuesday, largely because key figures in her party have coalesced behind her challenger Harriet Hageman. One such figure is California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who campaigned for Hageman Monday and spoke to Fox News about the race. The House Minority Leader is not known for his wits on Capitol Hill — so much so that there was a lengthy Politico article about how many congressional reporters "don’t think he’s the sharpest tool in the shed" but don't articulate this belief publicly because "stupid may be one of Washington’s last taboos." When speaking to Fox on Monday, McCarthy offered a few garbled sentences, including: "The principle philosophy is less government, an idea of freedom in the aspect that just the concepts of a country that's conceived in liberty and dedicated proposition that we're all it has," and "I think [Cheney's] whole focus has been different. Her whole focus has been against … [Read more...] about Liz Cheney mocks Kevin McCarthy’s speaking skills ahead of Wyoming primary
Trump being “driven nuts” not knowing who mole is: Ex-federal prosecutor
Donald Trump not being able to identify a possible informer within his organization is driving the former president "nuts," according to a former federal prosecutor. Trump's Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, was raided by the FBI on August 8 investigating a potential breach of the Espionage Act and other alleged crimes. Agents seized 11 sets of classified documents from the property and removed 20 boxes of material. Two senior government officials told Newsweek that intelligence for the raid was provided by a confidential human source , or informant, based within Trump's team. On his Truth Social website, Trump demanded the release of the "completely unredacted" affidavit that was used to justify the Mar-a-Lago raid. He wrote: "In the interests of TRANSPARENCY, I call for the immediate release of the completely Unredacted Affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking BREAK-IN." This was rejected by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which said publishing the document would … [Read more...] about Trump being “driven nuts” not knowing who mole is: Ex-federal prosecutor
‘Never Seen Anything Like This’: McCabe Said Threats Against FBI Are ‘Unprecedented’
CNN analyst and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Andy McCabe said Monday threats against FBI officials following the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago are “unprecedented.” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI released a bulletin warning of increased threats following the raid , Fox News reported. The bulletin warns of “violent threats” against law enforcement and other government personnel, including one specific threat to “place a so-called Dirty Bomb in front of FBI headquarters,” the outlet described. “How do you describe the threat level against the FBI?” CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked on the program “At This Hour.” (RELATED: Steve Doocy: Trump Should Call For ‘End To Violent’ Rhetoric Against FBI) “Unprecedented,” McCabe said. “Never seen anything like this in my 21 years with the bureau.

DOJ Admits It Acted Outside Scope ‘Authorized’ By Court When Seizing Trump Passports
The Department of Justice (DOJ) believes that the FBI acted outside of its purview authorized by the court during the Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, a reporter told Fox News host Sean Hannity Monday night. “For the first time we have confirmation that the FBI and the Justice Department believes it over-collected evidence when it was at Mar-a-Lago, meaning it collected evidence not covered by the search warrant,” John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just The News, said while discussing the report .
