It’s official, the lawfare case brought by Jack Smith against President Trump is officially GONE — dismissed by the Court! It all started this morning when Jack Smith filed a Motion To Dismiss the federal case against President Trump: BREAKING: Special counsel Jack Smith has moved to dismiss his federal election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump due to a long-standing Justice Department policy that bars the prosecution of a sitting president.

We knew it from day 1, the case was always bogus and we told you so right from the jump. Now they head off with their tail between their legs losing once again. But….I told you there was one small detail and it’s this: the case is Dismissed “Without Prejudice” and the Judge went out of her way to make a big federal case about that (no pun intended): And just like Jack Smith, Chutkan has to take one final shot suggesting the case can be revisited after Trump leaves office in January 2029. pic.twitter.com/VgBxzqRUM7 — Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) November 25, 2024 So what’s that mean and why is it a big deal? Because it means the DOJ can refile the case in the future. And look at the highlighted portion below from the Judge’s Order: Look, I’m no legal scholar, but that sentence doesn’t even make any sense! Immunity afforded to a sitting President expires when they leave office? That is wildly false. Immunity afforded to a sitting President applies to all official duties served while in office and it does NOT expire when they leave office.  That’s the whole point!  If it simply expired after they leave office, that would defeat the entire point! Wow, that’s a really uninformed sentence to write. And while the case was bogus to begin with, even the flimsy claims in the case apply to when President Trump was in office, not when he was out of office. So what is the point of the highlighted sentence other than to just have one (unintelligent) hissy fit on the way out the door? Wow! I completely agree with Julie Kelly here: I explain why Jack Smith–who burned through an estimated $50 million in two years to pursue Pres Trump–should face an investigation into prosecutorial misconduct, selective prosecution, tampering with evidence, and withholding discovery:https://t.co/qbbNNbfUUP — Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) November 8, 2024 Watch it live on Fox News: THIS AFTERNOON: Jack Smith has dismissed the… Trump Election Interference CaseTrump Classified Documents Case This lawfare was always unprecedented.

Davis believes severe charges should be used.@Mrddmia @BANNONS_WARROOM pic.twitter.com/MC4KJLuFKW — Real America’s Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) November 25, 2024 Here’s more, from ABC News: The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election interference case has dismissed the case, after special counsel Jack Smith asked the judge to toss the case due to a long-standing Justice Department policy that bars the prosecution of a sitting president. Smith earlier Monday moved to dismiss Trump’s election interference case and the appeal of his classified documents case ahead of Trump’s impending inauguration, due to the DOJ’s presidential immunity policy and not because the charges lacked merit. U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the charges against Trump without prejudice, leaving open the highly unlikely possibility of a future prosecution. In a two-page opinion, Judge Chutkan wrote that dismissing the case without prejudice is “appropriate” and would not harm the “public interest,” agreeing with Smith’s argument that Trump’s immunity would not cover him when he leaves office. “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,” Chutkan wrote. However, it’s extremely unlikely that any prosecutor would attempt to bring the same charges in the future, in part because the statute of limitations for the alleged crimes will have expired by the time Trump leaves office in four years. My take? There’s no way in hell this case ever gets brought again in the future. This case was brought for one reason and one reason only: to distract President Trump and hurt him in the election. And it failed even at that one job.

Over 100 Republican lawmakers are demanding answers about federal dollars. They want to know why they’re flowing to health centers that also provide abortions, including Planned Parenthood. They’re calling on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to give an account from the past three years. Turns out past reports revealed billions were sent to health facilities and $49 million to Planned Parenthood affiliates. Time for more transparency. And it’s time for Planned Parenthood to get defunded. The Hill reports: More than 100 Republican lawmakers are asking for an investigation in to the amount of federal funding that has been awarded to health centers that also provide abortion, including Planned Parenthood. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), as well as House Pro-Life Caucus co-Chair Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), led a letter Friday to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), asking for a report on the funding sent to the groups over the past three years. The lawmakers noted the GAO has prepared several congressionally requested reports on federal funding for these organizations over the years. According to its most recent report, the Department of Health and Human Services obligated an estimated $33.67 billion to federally qualified health centers and about $49 million to Planned Parenthood affiliates from 2019 through 2022. “It is our hope that this report will provide greater insight as Congress considers funding levels and provides increased transparency and openness for our constituencies and the general public,” the lawmakers wrote.

A judge has granted a request by Special Counsel Jack Smith to dismiss President-elect Donald Trump’s election interference case. 

A California judge has delayed the resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez in a Monday ruling, as the two killer brothers appeared in public for the first time in almost 30 years. 

Trump Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth has broken his silence on the sexual assault accusation made against him back in 2017, which has resurfaced since President-elect Trump tapped Hegseth for the DOD position. A police report concerning the allegation against Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran and former Fox News host, was released last week in response to a public records request. An unnamed woman claims Hegseth sexually assaulted her in a hotel room following a conservative conference. Hegseth said that the encounter was consensual and police decided against any further action. “It’s very simple,” Hegseth told reporters on Thursday. “The matter was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared, and that’s where I’m gonna leave it.” Tim Parlatore, an attorney for Hegseth, told the New York Post on Monday that they are demanding a file from the Monterey County district attorney’s office that they believe will show further exonerating details about the interaction. The memo the legal team is seeking outlines why the district attorney’s office decided not to prosecute, Parlatore said. It allegedly details an earlier allegation of sexual misconduct made by Hegseth’s accuser. “As part of our investigation, we received credible information indicating that she may have made a similar false allegation against another man in the past and the DA may have relied upon this as part of their determination, in addition to other witnesses who contradicted her story,” Parlatore said. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE As highlighted by The Daily Wire, the police report on the incident reveals that a man, presumed to be the accuser’s husband, told authorities that the woman told him she fell asleep in a friend’s hotel room when first explaining why she was out until 4 a.m. According to the report, Hegseth told authorities the woman told him this was the lie she would tell her husband, after panicking to Hegseth about cheating on her spouse. There is also security footage from the hotel and witness accounts that reveal the accuser was not intoxicated and was seen leaving the hotel bar with Hegseth in locked arms and “smiling.” The police report also details how the accuser contracted BV, or bacterial vaginosis, after having relations with Hegseth. This caused contention between the accuser and her husband. At one point, the woman asks her husband “to use a condom” when they had sex, for example.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk apparently struck a raw nerve, triggering MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Axios’ Jim VandeHei, when he issued a blanket announcement to everyone on his social media platform, X: “You are the media now.” VandeHei and Axios co-founder Mike Allen were honored at the National Press Club’s 2024 Fourth Estate Award Gala, and VandeHei lashed out at Musk directly during his remarks to Gala attendees. “Everything we do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day — or X today — saying like, ‘We are the media,’ ‘You are the media.’ My message to Elon Musk is: Bull****. You are not the media,” VandeHei complained. “You having a blue checkmark, a Twitter handle and 300 words of cleverness doesn’t make you a reporter. … You don’t do that by popping off on Twitter. You don’t do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work.” WATCH: NEW Axios CEO melts down over @elonmusk telling ? users “You are the media now” — mounts passionate defense of dying legacy media: "My message to Elon Musk is b*llshit.

You are the media now. And legacy media know it,” Musk said. Yeah, whatever lmao. You are the media now. And legacy media know it. https://t.co/TWemmwMoqd — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 25, 2024 The exchange comes as MSNBC — and a number of the network’s employees — waits to see what the future looks like once NBCUniversal spins off the far-left cable news network. “What I find absolutely astounding about this is not his anger at Musk,” one person noted. “I can understand and even respect that to some degree. What absolutely baffles me is the total lack of introspection or self reflection as to why the media is so distrusted. Just go back over the past 5-10 years. It’s not hard to figure out.

Fresh off losing the 2024 White House race to President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris is already getting the word out that she is open to running for office again, according to a new report. POLITICO reported on Monday that Harris has privately told advisers and others about her interest in a potential 2026 campaign for governor in her home state of California or even another presidential run in 2028. “I am staying in the fight,” Harris has declared in phone calls, per the report. Harris, a former California attorney general and U.S. senator, replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the 2024 race for the White House after he dropped out earlier this year following a fumbling debate performance against Trump. Trump ended up defeating Harris, coming out on top in all the battleground states and making gains among working-class voters, minority groups, and young people. Last week, after losing the election, Harris traveled with her husband, Doug Emhoff, to Hawaii for a vacation. Citing insider sources, POLITICO noted that Harris will head back to Washington, D.C., and is expected to explore “possible paths forward” with family members over the spend the winter holiday season. “She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” one former Harris campaign aide told the outlet. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.” If Harris were to campaign for governor of California in 2026, she would be competing to replace Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat who is term-limited and is seen as yet another potential candidate for president in the 2028 contest. A number of Democrats have already begun campaigns for California governor, including Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, while transgender-identifying celebrity Caitlyn Jenner indicated another GOP bid is possible following a 2021 recall campaign. “If I ran [for governor], and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her,” Jenner said in a post to X on Monday.
