In an interview with Morning Wire that was released on Sunday, Washington Free Beacon reporter Jon Levine opened up about the FBI&#8217;s coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.
Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/02/opinion/miranda-devine-new-fbi-chat-logs-reveal-extraordinary-gag-order-senior-leadership-used-to-shutdown-any-hunter-biden-laptop-discussion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that after the New York Post published the Biden laptop story in October 2020, the FBI instructed its agents not to discuss it and even scolded one agent for confirming the story&#8217;s authenticity. According to chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee, an FBI analyst confirmed the Biden laptop story to Twitter and was promptly &#8220;admonished&#8221; by higher-ups who lamented that &#8220;he won&#8217;t shut up.&#8221;
In one discussion, an FBI attorney told an agent, “Please do not discuss the Biden matter.”
Levine, who formerly wrote for the New York Post, told Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley that he and his team at the Post &#8220;already kind of knew the FBI knew [the laptop] was real,&#8221; but added that the House Judiciary Committee&#8217;s revelations were &#8220;new&#8221; to him.
&#8220;And it&#8217;s extra insidious because if you go back to that time, which is now five years ago, the FBI was running around that same week saying, &#8216;Well, we&#8217;re looking into this being a Russian information dump,'&#8221; Levine said. &#8220;So on the same week, the same day, they knew it was real, they were counter-programming the narrative.&#8221;

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/collections/the-hunter-biden-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire review</a> of the contents of Biden&#8217;s laptop conducted by reporter Luke Rosiak revealed Hunter Biden&#8217;s attempts to use the family name for massive business deals and propose business plans that would apparently include Joe Biden.
The FBI appeared to know about the laptop in the weeks before the story dropped, asking social media companies to look out for a Russian “hack and leak” operation involving Hunter Biden. The suppression of the story — and of the New York Post — that followed likely had a major impact on the 2020 presidential election.
&#8220;They were actively casting doubt on it when they knew it was real. And it&#8217;s inescapable now that it was clearly so they could help steer the election towards Joe Biden, which is actually what happened,&#8221; Levine told Morning Wire.
It would have been one thing for the FBI to say that it was looking into the matter and wasn&#8217;t going to comment, but the bureau actively tried to discredit the story, Levine said.
&#8220;When they were actually the ones who were speaking the falsehoods, we were trying to tell the truth. They essentially ran an information operation on the American people,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They spread us a bunch of BS because the truth was detrimental to Joe Biden. They didn&#8217;t want it out.&#8221;
Asked if he thinks trust in the FBI can be restored under new leadership after the Hunter Biden laptop saga, Levine said that there must be a complete overhaul of the top leadership and mid-management agents.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not the rank and file people. They&#8217;re very good,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I think we should get a slimmed-down FBI because obviously we&#8217;ve seen how they abuse their power, and Democrats will be in charge at some point again. And I don&#8217;t want a giant FBI in the hands of Democrats.&#8221;

U.S.

The Justice Department is dropping a Biden-era challenge to a Georgia election integrity law passed in the aftermath of the 2020 election, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Monday.
Bondi said that her department would no longer seek to block Georgia from enforcing SB 202, a Republican-backed measure that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/georgias-election-integrity-act-everything-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tightened </a>absentee voting requirements. After the implementation of the law, the Biden administration sued to block it from taking effect, alleging that it targeted black voters.
“Contrary to the Biden Administration’s false claims of suppression, black voter turnout actually increased under SB 202,” Bondi said. “Georgians deserve secure elections, not fabricated claims of false voter suppression meant to divide us. Americans can be confident that this Department of Justice will protect their vote and never play politics with election integrity.” 
The law, passed in March 2021, mandated a voter ID requirement for absentee voting, required election workers not to stop counting the votes after they’ve begun, and limited the availability of ballot drop boxes to only inside early voting locations during business hours. 
At the time, President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-excoriate-new-voting-restrictions-georgia-make-it-illegal-give-n1262181" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decried</a> the law, calling it “Jim Crow in the 21st Century” and “a blatant attack on the Constitution.”
The law induced corporate backlash from companies like Coca-Cola and Delta. It even prompted Major League Baseball to yank the All-Star Game from Atlanta, costing the state tens of millions of dollars. 
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that the decision from the Justice Department was a win for Georgia voters.
&#8220;This reaffirms that the Election Integrity Act stands on solid legal ground,&#8221; he said Monday. &#8220;Our commitment has always been to ensure fair and secure elections for every Georgian, despite losing an All-Star game and the left’s boycott of Georgia as a result of commonsense election law.&#8221;​
Raffensperger also asked for the release of any documents showing coordination between Biden&#8217;s DOJ and outside groups on the case.
While many Democrats claimed that the law would depress voter turnout, Georgia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-compared-georgia-election-law-to-jim-crow-the-state-just-broke-its-early-voting-record" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saw</a> record day one early vote turnout in 2024 when there were 328,000 ballots cast, a substantial increase from the previous 2020 record of 136,000.
Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley praised the DOJ for dismissing the case. 
“This is a victory for election integrity and a defeat for every Democrat who lied about Georgia’s election law,” he said. “The RNC has been proudly fighting to defend SB202 ever since it was passed, which is why we intervened as soon as the Biden Justice Department filed this lawsuit. States like Georgia should be praised, not punished, for making their elections more secure.”

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said Monday that the state Supreme Court should not take up an appeal from Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fani-willis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a> to be reinstated to the case against President-elect Donald Trump. 
The Georgia Court of Appeals <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fani-willis-disqualified-from-trump-election-case-what-does-that-mean-for-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disqualified Willis from prosecuting</a> the 2020 election interference case against Trump and more than a dozen co-defendants because of an apparent conflict of interest she created by hiring her then-boyfriend Nathan Wade as a special prosecutor. 
“The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump,” Carr said. “‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics and it must end.”
“As such, I would encourage the Georgia Supreme Court to not take her appeal,” he added. “It’s our hope that the DA will now focus taxpayer resources on the successful prosecution of violent criminals in Fulton County.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp echoed Carr’s sentiment.
“Agreed, [Georgia AG]! Georgians deserve safe communities and partisan politics out of our courtrooms,” Kemp<a href="https://x.com/BrianKempGA/status/1873835123936030918"> posted</a> on X. 
Trump lawyer Steve Saddow also <a href="https://x.com/stevesadow/status/1873792007602098421" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> with Carr, saying that a lower court had previously “abused its discretion by failing to disqualify Wade AND DA Willis” and that the Appeals Court was simply providing an “appropriate remedy.” 
Willis <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5060177-georgia-attorney-general-fani-willis-trump-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> Carr’s statement was motivated by his desire to run for governor. 
“If Mr. Carr cannot separate his ambition to become Governor from his duties as Attorney General, he should resign and focus on being a full-time candidate rather than serving as a constitutional officer sworn to uphold the Constitutions and laws of the United States and Georgia,” she said. 
On December 19, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to disqualify Willis from the case. 
“While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25464412-trumpgaappealsopn121924/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> Judge Trenton Brown.
Willis was accused of hiring Wade, who had little experience prosecuting cases, and paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they used to fund lavish vacation trips.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a> had at least 26 informants in Washington, D.C., on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6</a>, 2021, the day of the U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/capitol-riot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol riot</a>, including some who committed offenses but are not among the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hundreds who have been charged</a> with crimes, the inspector general for the Department of Justice said in a report released on Thursday.
Informants, or confidential human sources (CHSs) as they are called by the U.S. government, <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/what-is-the-fbis-policy-on-the-use-of-informants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are used by</a> law enforcement for various investigations, yet the sheer number of them suspected to have been in the crowd on January 6 has fueled concerns about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-and-capitol-police-identified-credible-threats-but-failed-to-follow-procedure-in-run-up-to-january-6-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intelligence failures</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/proud-boys-defense-attorney-claims-50-informants-revealed-in-january-6-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doubts</a> about whether they acted appropriately.
The <a href="https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/25-011_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new report</a> said the inspector general&#8217;s team determined three informants were tasked by FBI field offices in the days leading up to the January 6 certification of the presidential election results with the &#8220;required approval&#8221; by the FBI&#8217;s Washington Field Office to travel to D.C. for events to report on &#8220;domestic terrorism subjects&#8221; who were possibly going to be in attendance.
A review by the watchdog found that these three CHSs and another 23 FBI informants who were in D.C. for January 6 events did not receive authorization to enter the Capitol or a restricted area, &#8220;or to otherwise break the law&#8221; on January 6. The inspector general&#8217;s report also stressed that none of the informants were directed by the FBI to &#8220;encourage others&#8221; to commit illegal acts on January 6.
However, the inspector general&#8217;s team determined, four informants entered the Capitol during the riot and another 13 of them entered a restricted area around the building, &#8220;which was a security perimeter established in preparation for&#8221; the certification process. Despite this finding, none of the CHSs have been prosecuted to date, the watchdog added.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
A footnote in the report included a response from the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office in Washington, D.C., which said it &#8220;generally has not charged those individuals whose only crime on January 6, 2021 was to enter the restricted grounds surrounding the Capitol, which has resulted in the Office declining to charge hundreds of individuals; and we have treated the CHSs consistent with this approach.&#8221;
The report said the inspector general&#8217;s team determined that &#8220;many&#8221; of the informants provided &#8220;relevant&#8221; information related to the January 6 electoral certification and a few also gave details about the riot as it occurred. Information provided included particulars related to the Oath Keepers, some of whom were later found guilty of <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/four-additional-oath-keepers-sentenced-seditious-conspiracy-related-us-capitol-breach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seditious conspiracy</a> and sentenced to prison.
Still, the report said the information was &#8220;no more specific than, and was consistent with, other sources of information&#8221; about the potential for violence on January 6. And, the inspector general&#8217;s team noted, a review of FBI field offices did not &#8220;identify any potentially critical intelligence related to a possible attack on the Capitol on January 6 that had not been provided to law enforcement stakeholders&#8221; prior to that day.
The watchdog said it found no evidence the FBI had undercover employees in the &#8220;protest crowds&#8221; or at the Capitol on January 6, which FBI officials stressed would have been against the bureau&#8217;s policy with regard to First Amendment-protected events &#8220;absent some investigative authority.&#8221; A Washington Field Office official told the inspector general&#8217;s team he denied a request to have an undercover employee &#8220;engage in investigative activity&#8221; on that day.
One issue raised by the watchdog was that some of the intelligence obtained by informants was not &#8220;adequately shared&#8221; with the Washington Field Office or, if it was shared, was not sufficiently followed up on by the office. In its recommendations, the inspector general advised the FBI to &#8220;assess&#8221; how it prepares for &#8220;potential domestic security issues&#8221; that are not designated National Special Security Events to help ensure &#8220;clarity&#8221; of responsibilities.
The FBI, in its response, said it &#8220;continues to disagree&#8221; with some of the &#8220;factual assertions&#8221; in the watchdog&#8217;s report, but said it accepted the recommendation. It also noted that the Department of Homeland Security has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-ratchet-up-security-for-electoral-vote-certification-on-january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated</a> the 2025 certification as a National Special Security Event, which was not the case in 2021, but was &#8220;nonetheless committed&#8221; to assessing policies and procedures for further events that do not receive such a ratcheted-up level of security.

In a <a href="https://chriscillizza.substack.com/p/why-joe-biden-needs-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion</a> with journalist Chris Cillizza, Todd said he knew &#8220;100%&#8221; the pardon was going to happen and insisted President Biden &#8220;needs therapy&#8221; because he has &#8220;not processed&#8221; the death of his older son, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who passed away of brain cancer at the age of 46 in 2015.
President Biden has an &#8220;issue&#8221; with Hunter Biden in which he blames himself for Hunter Biden&#8217;s struggles over the years, including drug addiction, &#8220;second-guesses everything&#8221; with raising Hunter compared to how he raised Beau, Todd contended.
Todd also reportedly said he believed that Biden was never going to stand for the possible &#8220;humiliation&#8221; that President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> would be the one to pardon Hunter Biden.

The conversation then turned to the summer, when a jury in Delaware convicted Hunter Biden on three felony counts of lying on paperwork for a revolver and owning the firearm while being a drug addict in 2018. Todd mentioned Beau Biden&#8217;s widow, Hallie Biden. After Beau&#8217;s death, she started a romantic relationship with Hunter. Her public disposal of Hunter&#8217;s gun <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/02/hunter-biden-beau-widow-gun-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led to</a> the firearm case against him.

&#8220;I followed the Hunter Biden trial very closely. I read every transcript, all the testimony, because all that was made public. &#8230; You want to get angry? Just as somebody in — just all these mixed emotions,&#8221; Todd said.
&#8220;You read the Hallie Biden transcript, and that’s Beau’s widow. And essentially, [Hunter] turned her into a crack addict. And this was all happening in 2017 and 2018. And Joe and Jill Biden were so concerned about their family that they decided to run for president,&#8221; Todd continued. &#8220;When you talk about the word selfish &#8230; their decision to run for president put the entire Democratic Party and the United States of America in the position it&#8217;s in now.&#8221;
Cillizza, a former CNN editor at large who now has a <a href="https://chriscillizza.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newsletter</a> called &#8220;So What?&#8221; on Substack, posted a clip of the discussion to X on Monday. Some of those who commented on the post noted how Todd appeared to be more defensive of the Bidens in the past.

&#8220;Senator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed because I&#8217;ve yet to see anybody explain. It is not a crime to make money off of your last name,&#8221; Todd said at one point. At another, he said, &#8220;Look, you can go back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want. I understand it&#8217;s part of your identity.&#8221;

Chuck Todd Rips The Bidens: They ‘Put The Entire Democratic Party…In The Position It’s In Now’

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed federal election charges this week against President-elect Donald Trump after special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to drop the case.
Chutkan ordered the case be <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.283.0_2.pdf">dismissed</a> without prejudice and explained that &#8220;when a prosecutor moves to dismiss an indictment without prejudice, &#8216;there is a strong presumption in favor&#8217; of that course.&#8221;
&#8220;Dismissal without prejudice is also consistent with the Government’s understanding that the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office,&#8221; she added.
Smith had charged Trump with four felonies related to the 2020 election, specifically on Trump’s actions after the election and before Congress certified the results on January 7, 2021. In August last year, Trump was indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Trump celebrated the case being brought to close, saying on social media that Democrats wasted taxpayer money to fund their attacks on Trump.
&#8220;These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME.&#8221;

&#8220;Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before,&#8221; Trump continued, later adding: &#8220;It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;
Chutkan <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25402417/jack-smith-filing-in-jan-6-trump-case.pdf">dismissed</a> the case after Smith filed a motion to dismiss the case because &#8220;it has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President.&#8221;

Judge Chutkan Dismisses Federal Election Charges Against Trump

Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fulton-county-prosecutors-have-another-recording-of-trump-pressuring-georgia-house-speaker-to-overturn-election-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a> is attempting to restrict what her former special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, can tell congressional investigators in Washington this week about the Georgia 2020 election interference case against former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> and his allies.
On Monday, the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee released an October 11 letter from Willis stating her office told Wade, who left the RICO case earlier this year after a romance between him and the DA was revealed, about certain restrictions it wanted to place on his closed-door testimony.
Willis wrote that Wade has been informed her office was asserting &#8220;all legal protections and privileges related to information that he possesses about ongoing criminal prosecutions&#8221; and he was &#8220;instructed not to answer any questions that seek to solicit information about his role or underlying evidence&#8221; in the 2020 case.
To Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Willis said, &#8220;I am concerned that your demand for Mr. Wade&#8217;s testimony would force him to improperly divulge confidential information that is protected&#8221; by the DA&#8217;s office. She also raised concerns about Wade being pressed to violate State Bar of Georgia rules governing the conduct of attorneys.

The House Judiciary GOP account on X posted a copy of the October 11 letter it received from Willis, as well as one she sent to Wade with directions not to speak about his role in the 2020 election case. &#8220;FANI WILLIS demands NATHAN WADE not answer questions at his deposition tomorrow before the Judiciary Committee,&#8221; the account said. &#8220;What is she trying to hide?&#8221;
Willis and Jordan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fani-willis-responds-to-jordans-demand-for-docs-after-contempt-threat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clashed</a> earlier this year over another subpoena from the judiciary panel demanding the district attorney provide records about the potential misuse of federal funds weeks before the worker was fired. Willis rejected suggestions of wrongdoing, but said she was cooperating.
Trump, who is running for the presidency again, has pleaded not guilty in the Georgia case. A challenge over the judge&#8217;s decision that allowed Willis to stay on the case when Wade stepped down helped assure a trial would not start before Election Day like the DA <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/21/politics/fani-willis-trump-georgia-trial/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> wanted.

The former president is also fighting charges in other cases.

Fani Willis Moves To Restrain Former Special Prosecutor’s Testimony Before Congress

New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro made repeated attempts to bait Senator JD Vance (R-OH), vice-presidential running mate to former President Donald Trump, but Vance made it clear early on that he was not having it.
Vance sat for the interview last week, and several clips made their way to X on Friday — including one in which Garcia-Navarro pressured Vance five times to say that Trump had lost the 2020 presidential election.

&#8220;In the debate, you were asked to clarify if you believe Trump lost the 2020 election,&#8221; she began. &#8220;Do you believe he lost the 2020 election?&#8221;
&#8220;I think that Donald Trump and I have both raised a number of issues with the 2020 election, but we&#8217;re focused on the future,&#8221; Vance replied. &#8220;I think there&#8217;s an obsession here with focusing on 2020. I&#8217;m much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open border, groceries that are unaffordable, and look, Lulu —&#8221;
&#8220;Senator, yes or no,&#8221; Garcia-Navarro interrupted. &#8220;Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?&#8221;
&#8220;Let me ask you a question,&#8221; Vance pushed back. &#8220;Is it okay that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, which independent analyses have said cost Donald Trump millions of votes?&#8221;
Garcia-Navarro ignored Vance&#8217;s question, saying instead, &#8220;Senator Vance, I&#8217;m going to ask you again. Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?&#8221;
&#8220;Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested would have cost Trump millions of votes?&#8221; Vance refused to budge. &#8220;That&#8217;s the question.&#8221;
&#8220;Senator Vance, I&#8217;m going to ask you again,&#8221; Garcia-Navarro repeated. &#8220;Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;ve answered your question with another question,&#8221; Vance shot back. &#8220;You answer my question, then I&#8217;ll answer yours.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve asked this question repeatedly. This is something that is very important for the American people to know,&#8221; Garcia-Navarro insisted. &#8220;There is no proof, legal or otherwise, that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re repeating a slogan rather than engaging with what I&#8217;m saying,&#8221; Vance protested, arguing that it was irresponsible to answer her question without acknowledging the context that complicated either answer. &#8220;I&#8217;m worried about Americans who feel like there were problems in 2020, I&#8217;m not worried about this slogan that people throw out — &#8216;Well, every court case went this way — I&#8217;m talking about something very discrete: a problem of censorship in this country that I do think affected things in 2020, and more importantly, that led to Kamala Harris&#8217; governance which has screwed this country up in a big way.&#8221;
In a second clip, Garcia-Navarro attempted to separate the housing crisis in the United States from the massive influx of illegal immigrants under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and Vance was not having that either.

&#8220;One thing that everyone agrees on is that more housing is necessary in this country, right? The reason that there is a housing crisis is that not enough houses have been built — Garcia-Navarro said, but Vane interrupted.
&#8220;And that we have 25 million people who shouldn’t be here. I think it’s both,&#8221; he said.
Garcia-Navarro went on to suggest that the housing crisis would get worse if illegal immigrants were deported because, she argued, they composed a large percentage of the labor force in the construction industry.
&#8220;Well, I think it’s a fair question because we know that back in the 1960s, when we had very low levels of illegal immigration, Americans didn’t build houses,&#8221; Vance dead-panned. &#8220;But, of course they did. And I’m being sarcastic in service of a point, Lulu: the assumption that because a large number of homebuilders now are using undocumented labor, that that’s the only way to build homes, I think again betrays a fundamental —&#8221;
&#8220;The country is much bigger. The need is much bigger,&#8221; Garcia-Navarro protested. &#8220;I’m not arguing in favor of illegal immigration. I’m asking how you would deal with the knock-on effect of your proposal to remove millions of people who work in a critical part of the economy.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I think that what you would do is you would take, let’s say for example, the seven million prime-age men who have dropped out of the labor force, and you have a smaller number of women, but still millions of women, prime age, who have dropped out of the labor force. You absolutely could re-engage folks into the American labor market,&#8221; Vance replied.
Garcia-Navarro floated the argument that illegal immigrants had to be allowed to stay because Americans wouldn&#8217;t do those jobs.
&#8220;People say, well, Americans won’t do those jobs. Americans won’t do those jobs for below-the-table wages. They won’t do those jobs for non-living wages. But people will do those jobs, they will just do those jobs at certain wages,&#8221; Vance argued. &#8220;We cannot have an entire American business community that is giving up on American workers and then importing millions of illegal laborers. That is what we have thanks to Kamala Harris’s border policies. I think it’s one of the biggest drivers of inequality.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> spoke out on Wednesday after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jack-smith">Jack Smith</a> in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.
In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113239989345034168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">election interference</a>, arguing that the filing&#8217;s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.
&#8220;Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113239970389335011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to his social media platform.
He also <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113239878507169039" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questioned</a> the timing, contending that it came &#8220;immediately&#8221; after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz&#8217;s &#8220;disastrous&#8221; performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.
The filing was <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-2020-election-case-jack-smith-special-counsel-filing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">submitted</a> under seal last week. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-in-trump-election-case-worked-at-same-law-firm-as-hunter-biden">Federal judge Tanya Chutkan</a> was the one who ordered its release.
Chutkan <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.251.0_4.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> Trump&#8217;s team provided &#8220;no support&#8221; to claims of &#8220;bad-faith partisan bias&#8221; and rejected the defense&#8217;s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public&#8217;s &#8220;need to understand&#8221; the document.
The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors&#8217; <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/08/27/nx-s1-5090925/trump-indictment-jan6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">superseding indictment</a> should be able to abide by the Supreme Court&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-trump-has-immunity-for-official-acts-likely-delays-trial-past-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling in July that</a> presidents have immunity for official acts.
It also addresses evidence gathered by Smith&#8217;s team allegedly showing how Trump and others &#8220;launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn&#8221; the 2020 election.

Defense lawyers had previously argued that the debate over grappling with the presidential immunity issue should wait until at least December, but Chutkan said the court was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jack-smith-seeks-streamline-trumps-appeals-election-interference-case-rcna169448" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;not concerned&#8221;</a> with the schedule of the 2024 election.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the D.C. case, which got delayed as the courts weighed his presidential immunity claims. Smith&#8217;s second case against him — one related to classified documents — has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tossed</a> by a judge in Florida.
Alluding to the dismissal, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113239878507169039" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in one of his posts to Truth Social that the 2020 election case &#8220;is a Partisan, Unconstitutional, Witch Hunt, that should be dismissed, entirely, just like the Florida case was dismissed!&#8221;

‘Witch Hunt’: Trump Sounds Off After Judge Releases Special Counsel’s Findings In 2020 Election Case

Judge

A judge in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> dismissed two criminal charges against former President Donald Trump on Thursday, ruling that prosecutors did not have the authority to bring the charges.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled that state prosecutors could not file the charges because a U.S. Supreme Court decision &#8220;preempts the State&#8217;s ability to prosecute perjury and false filings in a federal district court.&#8221;
The decision meant that &#8220;Counts 14, 15, and 27 must be quashed,&#8221; McAfee ruled.
Out of the three counts that were dismissed, two of them were against Trump, including Count 15, Conspiracy to commit filing false documents; and Count 27, Filing false documents.
Trump was not charged with Count 14, Criminal attempt to commit filing false documents, but others in the racketeering case were.
Trump has now defeated five of the original 13 charges he was hit with in District Attorney Fani Willis&#8217; controversial indictment from August 2023.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/">Am I Racist? ONLY In Theaters Tomorrow—Get Your Tickets Now!</a>
The other three charges that Trump has beaten includes: Count 5, Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, Count 28, Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer; and Count 38, Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.
The charges that remain against Trump include:
<ul>
<li>Count 1, Violation of the Georgia RICO Act</li>
<li>Count 9, Conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer</li>
<li>Count 11, Conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree</li>
<li>Count 13, Conspiracy to commit false statements and writings</li>
<li>Count 17, Conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree</li>
<li>Count 19, Conspiracy to commit false statements and writings</li>
<li>Count 29, False statements and writings</li>
<li>Count 39, False statements and writings</li>
</ul>
&#8220;President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again,&#8221; said Steve Sadow, Trump&#8217;s lead attorney on the case. &#8220;The trial court has decided that counts 15 and 27 in the indictment must be quashed/dismissed.&#8221;

New York City Marks 23rd Anniversary Of September 11, 2001 Attacks

Georgia Judge Dismisses Two Charges In Election Case Against Trump

A conservative legal group warned Monday of a “loophole” that allows thousands of voters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wisconsin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a> to cast a ballot without showing identification. 
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) released a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/Indefinitely-Confined-FINAL-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research report</a> that said there are 144,347 people in the Badger State classified as “indefinitely confined,” meaning that they could cast an absentee ballot without showing ID. Indefinitely confined rates skyrocketed during the 2020 election and allowed tens of thousands to cast absentee ballots. 
“Wisconsin has a strong voter ID requirement in place, but there is one loophole that is ripe for exploitation. In Wisconsin, voters can claim they are ‘Indefinitely Confined,’ a status that allows a voter to continually receive an absentee ballot without ever showing an ID,” the report from WILL researcher Will Flanders said. 
Flanders said that while the number of voters classified as “indefinitely confined” had come down from 2020, it was still 116% higher than it was back in 2016 as of July 2024. He added that there were still thousands of voters who should be removed from the list under state law. 
“Per state law, clerks are to remove voters if they vote in-person or do not vote in any election. Those voters must sign and return a form to retain that status,” the report noted. 
According to Flanders, voters who should have received a notice of potential removal from the &#8220;indefinitely confined&#8221; list include 24,800 who didn’t vote in the April election, 2,788 who haven’t voted at all since 2020, and 2,595 who voted in person in April.
The areas with the highest number of indefinitely confined voters are the Democratic strongholds of Milwaukee and Madison followed by more divided areas like Green Bay and Kenosha. 
Indefinitely confined voter status was designed to help voters who are elderly or disabled and unable to make it to the polls. Voters just have to select that they fit the requirements for being indefinitely confined.

“Under this statute, voters decide for themselves whether they meet the requirements and can receive an absentee ballot in perpetuity if they continue to vote in every election,” the report said. “Most critically, voters can receive ballots in this way without providing a photo ID. In Wisconsin, you only need to show a photo ID when you vote—not when you register.”

During the 2020 election, election officials in Madison and Milwaukee said that effectively all voters could claim indefinitely confined status because of COVID. The Wisconsin Supreme Court <a href="https://www.wisbar.org/NewsPublications/InsideTrack/Pages/Article.aspx?Volume=0&amp;ArticleID=28110#:~:text=In%20Republican%20Party%20of%20Wisconsin%20v.%20Dane%20County%2C,can%20declare%20persons%20indefinitely%20confined%20for%20any%20reason." target="_blank" rel="noopener">later ruled</a> against this guidance, after the election. 
WILL has argued that there should be tighter guidelines for receiving indefinitely confined status and sent out letters to 15 communities across the state to see if they were complying with state law about cleaning up their rolls. 
“Confidence in our elections continues to be dangerously low in Wisconsin and across the country,” Flanders told The Daily Wire. “Voter ID is a popular and well-executed way to keep our elections secure and free of fraud. While the Governor refused to fix this loophole in the years since 2020, efforts must be made by local election clerks to resolve it as much as possible.”
Wisconsin is expected to be one of the key battleground states that may determine the outcome of the 2024 election with polls showing a close race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Special counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jack-smith">Jack Smith</a> will have the chance to release new evidence in the 2020 election subversion case against former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> in the weeks before this year&#8217;s election in November.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-in-trump-election-case-worked-at-same-law-firm-as-hunter-biden">U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan</a> of Washington, D.C., released a <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.233.0_2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pre-trial schedule</a> on Thursday that said the government &#8220;shall file&#8221; an opening brief on presidential immunity by September 26.
&#8220;The bottom line is clear: Evidence in the Trump 2020 election conspiracy case could be revealed&#8230;. less than six weeks before the 2024 election,&#8221; CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane <a href="https://x.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1831806797528907779" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post to X</a>.
Earlier in the day, a hearing took place in which prosecutors and Trump&#8217;s team discussed how they wanted to proceed after the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-trump-has-immunity-for-official-acts-likely-delays-trial-past-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">determined</a> presidents have immunity for official acts.
Smith&#8217;s team said they needed about three weeks to file a brief on how their <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/08/27/nx-s1-5090925/trump-indictment-jan6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">superseding indictment</a> should be able to abide by the high court&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-trump-has-immunity-for-official-acts-likely-delays-trial-past-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling</a> in early July, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/05/us/trump-election-interference-hearing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.
Prosecutor Thomas Windom reportedly said the government could present new information, such as FBI interviews with witnesses, in making its case that Trump broke the law outside of his official role.

Defense lawyers argued the debate over grappling with the presidential immunity issue should wait until at least December, but Chutkan said the court was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jack-smith-seeks-streamline-trumps-appeals-election-interference-case-rcna169448" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;not concerned&#8221;</a> with the election schedule.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the D.C. case, which got delayed as the courts weighed his presidential immunity claims. Now the judge&#8217;s schedule has deadlines for various filings through early November.
Other prosecutions have been levied against Trump as he runs again for office, although Smith&#8217;s second case against him — one related to classified documents — was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> by a federal judge in Florida.
A jury <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> Trump as part of a New York hush-money case in May.
