Joe diGenova, the prosecutor leading the “grand conspiracy” investigation, abruptly resigned on Thursday.
Fox News reported that diGenova had lost the confidence of the DOJ and White House amid frustration over the probe’s pace — a year of subpoenas, but no charges.
On his way out, he told the New York Post: “If you want indictments where there’s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.”
The investigation began last year, focusing on the Deep State’s role in the Trump-Russia Hoax and whether top Obama-era officials — like then-CIA Director John Brennan — committed crimes when they falsely targeted Trump.
LINDSAY CLANCY’S HAIL-MARY PLEA
Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her three children. But now her lawyer wants a judge to unilaterally declare her innocent.
On Thursday, Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, filed a motion demanding a judge grant a “required finding of not guilty,” claiming that “no rational jury” could find Clancy guilty of the crimes she doesn’t deny committing.
Then, Reddington went on Fox News and attacked the lone holdout juror, admitting he was “angry” at the juror because of “his refusal to follow the law.”
But here’s the problem: That juror has said nothing publicly. Everything about him comes from other jurors. Reddington has zero proof the holdout juror did anything wrong.
TRUMP’S $5,000 PROMISE
President Trump wants to put more money back in your pocket.
At the Republican midterm convention, Trump announced what he called the “Trump Dividend”: If Republicans win the midterm elections, every American adult citizen will receive $5,000.
Immediately, Republican Bernie Moreno said he’ll draft legislation to codify the “Trump Dividend” — funded not by taxpayers, but by “market access fees” on foreign goods, and spendable only in the U.S.
“I will get a bill ready so that we can get the Trump Dividend passed immediately after the November 3rd election,” Moreno said.
APPEALS COURT SIDES WITH ACTIVIST JUDGE
President Trump’s effort to secure mail-in voting keeps hitting the same wall.
On Thursday, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals refused to lift activist Judge Indira Talwani’s order blocking Trump’s executive order, which requires mail-in ballots to be checked against verified voter rolls and the use of a standard ballot envelope.
The Trump administration has already asked the Supreme Court to intervene. A decision could come any day.
DOJ PUTS ELECTION OFFICIALS ON NOTICE
The Justice Department is done asking nicely.
The DOJ sent letters to at least 30 states ordering election officials to preserve their 2024 election records. It’s part of a broader push to force states to comply with the Trump administration’s election integrity efforts.
The letters bluntly informed state election officials they are “currently under investigation.”
Dozens of states have refused to comply with election security efforts — like turning over their voter rolls — leading to multiple lawsuits from the Trump administration.
But if their rolls are clean, what exactly are they worried about?
