A member of Donald Trump's family on Saturday issued a stark warning about the president's strategy for controlling the corporate media.
Mary Trump, the niece to the commander in chief, over the weekend wrote an email to her "exhausted" followers, explaining how her family life explains Trump's moves.
"Exhausted yet, friend? That's the point," she wrote before revealing her view on her uncle's purported strategy. "This regime’s playbook isn't complicated. Flood the zone. Overwhelm the senses. Make people so tired of the outrage that they stop paying attention. Then, while everyone's looking away, they quietly do the damage."
Mary Trump went on to say, "I've watched Donald weaponize this strategy my entire life."
She then added, "It works on cable news. It works on social media. It works on people who just want to live their lives without having to become full-time fact-checkers. But it doesn't work on me."
"And it won't work on us — if we stay organized," the activist wrote.
Promoting her own Mary Trump Media company, she then dropped another insider detail about the Trump family:
"Here's what I know after decades inside this family: The cruelty is never accidental. The chaos is never random. And the lies are all part of the strategy."
Kristi Noem set off a firestorm among political observers over the weekend by making a comment about voting that many said was "saying the quiet part out loud."
Noem, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, said during a press event Saturday, "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure that we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."
That comment about "the right people" voting immediately spread online, with Jonathan Karl,ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent, saying one word: "Extraordinary."
The popular Ekklesia Network wrote simply, "They are saying the usually quiet part quite openly."
Sports analyst Ben Fowlkes chimed in, "If we let these people destroy our democracy we won’t be able to say that we didn’t have plenty of advance warning."
Former Obama insider David Axelrod said, "THIS is why Noem will remain in place, despite her flagrant, corrupt mismanagement of the DHS, at least through the midterm elections."
He added that Trump "wants a loyal apparatchik in place who will do whatever is necessary to ensure 'the right leaders' win."
Camille MacKenzie, who identifies as a "constitutional conservative," weighed in, "Elections are not a 'critical infrastructure' responsibility that Kristi Noem is in charge of. She’s outright making up lies about what DHS is responsible for. It’s outrageous that she even thinks that this is something she has any power over."
"To make sure the 'right people' are voting? Who the f--- are the 'right people?'" he asked. "And it’s not government’s job to choose our leaders. It’s the American people’s job. I served in Congress with Kristi Noem. It’s not at all surprising to hear her spew this un-American s---."
Dem congressman Daniel Goldman said, "They’re not even trying to hide their intention to steal the election. We cannot give one more cent to DHS until Congress ensures our elections will be free and fair."
President Donald Trump launched into a near 500-word spiel Saturday to voice his regret over having hosted comedian Bill Maher at the White House, calling the television host a “jerk” who displayed “zero confidence” during their recent time together.
Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that Maher came to the White House recently for dinner at the request of a mutual friend, and that Maher’s behavior was “much different” than what he expected.
“He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a ‘Vodka Tonic,’” Trump wrote.
“He said to me, ‘I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.’ In one respect, it was somewhat endearing! Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting.”
However, watching the most recent episode of Maher’s show, “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Trump apparently wasn’t amused.
“In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night,” Trump wrote.
“Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me. He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented!”
Newly released messages between ex-Trump official Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein revealed new details of a supposed plot to “take down” the late Pope Francis, the details of which left onlookers stunned Saturday.
“This Epstein files drop keeps getting wilder,” wrote Abdul Kabir Khan, a blogger whose bio says they lead a Pakistani-based shipping logistics company, in a social media post on X Saturday. “History books are gonna need extra chapters.”
The messages in question, exchanged just weeks before Epstein was found dead in a New York jail cell, show Bannon asking the convicted child sex offender if he had read the 2019 book “In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy.”
Epstein’s response suggested he had not read the book, which alleges that a majority of clergy serving at the Vatican are secretly gay, including some who have publicly made anti-gay remarks.
“Dude-- I thought u were global player,” Bannon responded, adding that someone named “Sean” would get Epstein a copy of the book.
It was then that Bannon awarded Epstein with the title of “exec producer” for “ITCOTV” – an acronym for the book – suggesting plans to turn the book into a film, with Epstein leading its production as executive producer.
“Bannon working with Epstein vs [Pope Francis] is basically good vs evil,” noted ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, responding to a CNN report Saturday about the newly unearthed messages.
“Something rotten in Bannon’s soul,” wrote Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who’s had his own share of controversy after being named in the Justice Department’s most recent release of Epstein files.
Austen Ivereigh, a biographer of Pope Francis, told CNN in its report Saturday that Bannon was likely hoping to damage the Pope's reputation using the aforementioned book. That apparent plot, however, was a miscalculated effort, he said.
"I think he badly misjudged the nature of the book – and Pope Francis," Ivereigh told CNN.
The recently released Epstein files have revealed that Bannon and Epstein had a far deeper and more personal relationship than what was previously known. Both frequently criticized President Donald Trump in private messages, and Bannon reportedly worked hard to rehabilitate Epstein’s public image in the wake of his 2008 conviction on prostitution involving a minor.
Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) were hit by a barrage of attacks from top Trump officials Friday night after being accused of linking “random” people to Jeffrey Epstein, but on Saturday, Massie hit back with an blistering observation that appeared to undercut the core of those attacks.
Earlier this week, Massie and Khanna successfully pressured the Justice Department to reveal the names of six individuals whose identities had been redacted in the agency’s release of Epstein files, which by law are mostly limited to only including redactions to protect the identities of minors or victims. On Tuesday, Khanna read the names of the individuals on the House floor.
On Friday, however, the DOJ claimed that four of the six individuals were “random” people with no connection to Epstein, and later that evening, several top Trump officials went on the attack.
“Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are some of the dumbest r------ ever to be in Congress,” wroteWhite House Communications Director Steven Cheung, using a slur for people with intellectual disabilities, in a social media post on X.
Deputy FBI Director Todd Blanche accused Khanna of having “ran to X and the House floor” to make “false accusations about four men,” and top DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon accused Khanna and Massie of “making fools” of themselves.
While the four men in question do appear to have no connection to Epstein, Massie hit back at the Trump officials early Saturday morning with an astute observation that appeared to undercut their entire line of attack.
“You’re better than this Harmeet. I literally told DOJ these might be random guys in a line-up before DOJ released the names,” Massie wrote Saturday in a social media post on X.
Massie had, in fact, noted that the individuals whose names were redacted could have been “just randoms in a line-up” on Monday, before the DOJ un-redacted their names. That same day, Blanche reposted Massie’s social media post while also announcing that his agency had un-redacted the names of the six individuals.
“Todd retweeted my post, so you can’t say he didn’t see it,” Massie fired off Saturday. “DOJ should have provided the same context I did when they released the names.”
Khanna also clapped back at the barrage of attacks from Trump officials, laying blame for the entire ordeal squarely on the DOJ.
“The problem is DOJ illegally redacted names without explanation and then refused to give context for the names once they redacted,” Massie wrote in a social media post on X. “This is why Massie and I have been pushing for the full release of the files with context and protecting survivors.”
You’re better than this Harmeet. I literally told DOJ these might be random guys in a line-up _before_ DOJ released the names.
Todd retweeted my post, so you can’t say he didn’t see it. DOJ should have provided the same context I did when they released the names. pic.twitter.com/TgMTmNkMXw — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) February 14, 2026
New images released Friday offer the clearest look yet at President Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom addition, a sweeping project that would mark the most significant change to the White House grounds in decades – even as it faces legal challenges and increasing criticism on Capitol Hill.
The updated renderings were shared with the National Capital Planning Commission, which oversees major federal construction projects in the region, according to The Washington Post. The plans depict a roughly 90,000-square-foot structure, described by the White House as an “East Wing modernization,” that would house a ballroom and offices for staff.
The images show a notable design revision: the removal of a large triangular pediment above the southern portico after concerns were raised by federal design reviewers, the Post reported Friday.
“Despite the revisions, the proposed addition would remain the same height as the White House at its highest point — a priority for Trump and a major concern for outside architects and historical preservationists," according to the Post. "Critics have warned the project could overshadow the iconic main mansion and alter long-protected sightlines around the complex.”
One Biden-appointed architect, Bruce Redman Becker, who Trump removed last year from the Commission of Fine Arts, blasted the design as “a poorly proportioned pseudo-neoclassical structure that is completely out of scale with the White House.” He added that the images shown in the renderings failed to comply with long-standing National Park Service guidelines.
Despite the concerns, preparation work has already been underway for months, including the controversial teardown of the East Wing last fall. Above-ground construction could begin as soon as April, the Post said Friday.
Trump’s beloved project also faces another hurdle: a legal challenge as a federal judge is continuing to weigh whether the president can rely on private donations to bypass congressional approval.
But Trump remains dead set on seeing the project through, writing on Truth Social this week that it is “on budget and ahead of schedule.”
Parents and critics alike erupted in fury Friday after an alleged Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator was linked to one of the nation’s largest school photography companies, prompting multiple districts to cancel picture days, HuffPost reported.
That company is Lifetouch, which provides photography services for schools across the nation, and proudly touts on its website that it’s “built on the tradition of ‘Picture Day.’” Lifetouch is owned by Apollo Global Management Group, an assets management firm co-founded by billionaire Leon Black, a key source of Epstein’s wealth.
And, while Black has since stepped down as Apollo Global Management Group’s CEO, new details about his relationship with Epstein revealed recently – along with the company’s new CEO, billionaire Marc Rowan, another individual with close ties to Epstein – have prompted several school districts to cancel picture days it had scheduled with Lifetouch, and sparked fury among parents and critics online.
“Lifetouch is the largest school photo company in the country,” wrote Briana Rose Lee, the chair emerita of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, in a social media post on X. “They keep a database of all the digital photos of kids and their personal info. Burn. It. All. Down.”
Black, who reportedly paid Epstein $158 million for tax advice, stepped down as CEO of Apollo Global Management Group in 2021 after reporting revealed new details about his relationship with Epstein. After the Justice Department’s most recent release of Epstein files last month, however, a wave of “concerned parents” led to school districts in Texas and Arizona cancelling their scheduled picture days with Lifetouch “out of an abundance of caution.”
Lifetouch published a statement responding to the concern, denying any wrongdoing and insisting that it does not – and “has never provided” – photographs of children to third parties.
“Lifetouch images are shared only for the purposes of school records and to allow parents or guardians to purchase them,” the company wrote in a statement.
“Additionally, as part of our decades long relationship with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Lifetouch prints SmileSafe cards free of charge for each student we photograph that families can use with law enforcement if a child goes missing.”
WASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) would rather not be in the national spotlight because the President of the United States called for him to be hanged, but that doesn't mean he's not prepared to fight to the bitter end.
And this week, the only bitterness was emanating from the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The TrumpWhite House suffered major setbacks in its attempt to make an example out of Kelly and other veterans in Congress who cut a video calling on active-duty service members to refuse any unconstitutional orders from Trump or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
That video prompted Trump to say the Democrats were guilty of “seditious behavior,” an offense he claimed was “punishable by DEATH!” He also shared calls from supporters for the Democrats to be hanged.
Hegseth threatened to court martial Kelly, then attempted to reduce his rank and pension.
In an exclusive interview withRaw Story, Arizona's senior senator opened up about the barrage of attacks he and other veterans of the military or intelligence services have endured as a result of such Trump administration assaults.
"This government doesn't want us speaking out against them," Kelly said, while riding the tram underneath the U.S. Senate.
"Such a fundamental American right that we all have is to criticize the government. They don't like criticism."
‘Rights are on the line’
There was a lot of criticism this week over Trump’s attempt to censure the Democratic veterans who spoke out.
On Tuesday, a D.C. grand jury threw out charges the administration sought to bring against Kelly and the five other Democrats who spoke out.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon sided with Kelly, blocking a planned Department of Defense punishment and scolding both the White House and Pentagon — “Horsefeathers!” he exclaimed — for "trying to shrink the First Amendment liberties of retired servicemembers."
Kelly is a decorated U.S. Navy pilot and astronaut — which is partly why the personal attacks from the Commander-in-Chief have been so unsettling.
"What have you thought of..." Raw Story asked, before the senator finished the question.
"The president wanting to hang me?" Kelly said. "I take a little bit of offense to it, you know, and saying I should be executed. It's outrageous. I mean, he's the president."
On Thursday, Judge Leon ordered Kelly and the Pentagon to come back in 30 days with an update on the issue between them, even as his ruling barred Hegseth from punishing Kelly by reducing rank or retirement pay or by taking any other step.
"There's a process," Kelly said. "I filed a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth to, you know, stop that process.
"The real thing that matters is there are over two million retired veterans — veterans whose First Amendment rights are on the line with this case.
"Because if they can say that me — as somebody who left the military 15 years ago and is a retired service member — that I do not have freedom of speech rights, and I'm a U.S. senator, if they can take away my rank after 25 years and take away some of my retirement pension, they can do that to anybody.
“Much easier to do that to somebody else."
‘I didn’t ask for this’
The high-stakes fight with Trump and Hegseth has raised Kelly's profile, with appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in recent months.
Even with 2026 being a midterm elections year, there's lots of chatter about a Kelly presidential run in 2028. For now at least, he brushes that aside.
"I didn't ask for this," Kelly said. "I was just trying to send a really very simple, basic message that I felt needed to be said, and, you know, this is all Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's doing."
While calling for an execution is about as personal as politics can get, at the end of the day, Kelly laughs Trump off.
"Every day he just says outrageous stuff," Kelly said.
Kelly is confident the courts will continue to rule his way, because of the strength of First Amendment protections.
"The law and the Constitution are on our side here," Kelly told Raw Story. "So, yeah, I mean, anything can happen, but I feel pretty good about it."
A psychiatrist sent a detailed outline to Jeffrey Epstein mapping out a plan for escaping accountability – including plastic surgery – if he were ever caught.
An individual named Cynthia Reed passed along a seven-point outline, titled "What If I Get Caught?" that she told Epstein in a May 1, 2009, email had been written by Dr. Henry Jarecki in the context of a book that needed a co-author. While the book was never published, its purported chapter outline offered Epstein guidance for escaping capture or securing favorable treatment while incarcerated.
"Trouble avoidance," read the first bullet point in the outline, which then listed items of concern, including computer and telephone security, and advised "have a fall guy" and "avoid trackable expenditure."
The next bullet point offered advice for pre-trouble protections, such as setting up a safe house and making sure to have enough cash stashed away.
"Post-trouble," read the third bullet point, and Jarecki purportedly suggested to use disguises and fake identification or visit a plastic surgeon.
Jarecki advised readers in a section titled "post-arrest rules" to avoid being tracked with an ankle monitor and distrust interrogators because they'll assume he's guilty and attempt to trick him, and the psychiatrist also offered advice about trial rules and finding the right jail, according to the unearthed email
"Demography and goals of a jailer," Jarecki wrote, and then listed "special benefits": "(1) Episodic freedom (2) Conjugal rights (3) Drugs (4) Sex (5) Special food f. Religious services g. Infirmary & health h. Medical needs j. Good behaviour."
The last section advised readers such as Epstein on flight, and Jarecki suggested he familiarize himself with extradition laws in Brazil, Germany and Israel.
Epstein served 13 months of a 18-month sentence he received as part of a controversial plea agreement, and he received Jarecki's outline about two months before that sentence ended.
He was arrested again on sex trafficking charges in July 2019 but was found dead in prison about a month later of an apparent suicide.
In 2024, a former model sued Jarecki, a longtime Yale faculty member who was 91 at the time, on allegations that he enabled Epstein's sex trafficking and turned her into a "modern-day sex slave," but she voluntarily dismissed her civil lawsuit in April 2025.
An Emirati billionaire stepped down from their role leading an major international logistics company Friday after being exposed for having received an especially disturbing email from Jeffrey Epstein in 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported, and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) celebrated.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, formally CEO of DP World, was revealed this week to be involved in the now-infamous 2016 email with Epstein in which the convicted child sex offender wrote that he “loved the torture video.” Bin Sulayem’s name was initially redacted by the Justice Department until it succumbed to pressure from Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).
“[Massie] & I called on DOJ to stop protecting this man & underact his name,” Khanna wrote Friday in a social media post on X. “They relented. Then I took to the House floor to name names. Today, he resigns. We will not rest until there is elite accountability for the Epstein class.”
DP World is a hugely influential company that specializes in cargo logistics, annually overseeing the transportation of 70 million shipping containers carried by 70,000 sea vessels, a staggering 10% of global container traffic. The company generated more than $20 billion in revenue in 2024, and until Friday morning, was led by Bin Sulayem as its CEO.
DP World announced Friday, however, that Bin Sulayem had resigned in the wake of being exposed in the DOJ’s release of Epstein files.
Bin Sulayem’s name was initially redacted by the DOJ, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche rationalizing the redaction because it included personal identifying information, that being Bin Sulayem’s email address. After Khanna and Massie viewed the unredacted file for themselves, they called on the DOJ to un-redact the file, with Khanna publicly naming Bin Slayem on the House floor this week.
Bin Sulayem had also helped Epstein purchase his second private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2016, using the Emirati billionaire to “disguise his identity because the owner of the island didn’t want to sell to Epstein,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
.@RepThomasMassie & I called on DOJ to stop protecting this man & underact his name. They relented. Then I took to the House floor to name names. Today, he resigns.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) flagged an extraordinarily explosive allegation against President Donald Trump Thursday night, one uncovered in the Justice Department’s release of files on Jeffrey Epstein, and demanded the the DOJ take immediate action in interviewing witnesses.
“Dear [Attorney General Pam Bondi]: Since you creepily spied on the unredacted Epstein files I read, you know I read this one,” Lieu wrote Thursday in a social media post on X, referencing reports that Bondi and her agency appeared to be tracking lawmakers’ searches in its Epstein files database.
“Witness calls FBI’s [National Threat Operations Center] and reports girl, later found dead, told him Trump and Epstein raped her. DOJ NEVER INTERVIEWS WITNESS. When will DOJ interview this witness?”
The file in question is an unverified tip submitted to the FBI in 2020 from a limousine driver who claimed to have driven Trump in the 1990s, and recalled Trump making “very concerning” comments about “abusing some girl,” while also "continuously" stating the name “Jeffrey.”
The tip also included unverified allegations that Trump and Epstein had raped a young girl who was later found with her head “blown off,” details of which were later partially corroborated by local news outlets.
“And there it is. Rape. Murder,” wrote Cheri Jacobus, a political strategist and commentator to their more than 220,000 followers on X. “[Donald Trump] raping a girl and she's later found dead. Thank you Ted Lieu for bringing this out in the open when so many others are [too] afraid to point to this in the Epstein Files.”
Dear @AGPamBondi: Since you creepily spied on the unredacted Epstein files I read, you know I read this one.
Witness calls FBI’s NTOC and reports girl, later found dead, told him Trump and Epstein raped her.
WASHINGTON — Border czar Tom Homan’s goodwill tour continues, but members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus aren’t buying it.
In Minneapolis on Thursday, Homan — who as an aide to President Donald Trump has vowed to “run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen” — announced the end of the immigration crackdown that has upended the city and roiled the nation.
On Capitol Hill, Homan’s claim that ICE is pulling out, after federal agents killed two protesters in three weeks, was met with suspicion from leading members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
“They're going to draw down in Minnesota and go somewhere else where they're not going to get as much [pushback],” Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA) told Raw Story.
“They got particularly beat up [in Minneapolis] because the people that they shot and killed were very sympathetic. And I think they're going to go to some other place where people might not look so sympathetic.”
U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both 37, were shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis. Their deaths triggered outrage, repulsion and protest in ways that agents’ alleged abuse of migrants has not.
While the shooting deaths of two white protesters inspired a protest song written and released by Bruce Springsteen, Hispanic Caucus members point to comparatively muted protests over 32 deaths of migrants held in ICE custody last year as evidence of a double standard even for sympathetic voices on the left.
Homan took over supervision of the Minnesota immigration surge after the Trump administration removed Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino.
"I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude,” Homan told reporters on Thursday. “A significant drawdown has already been under way this week and will continue to the next week."
Homan also claimed to have "improve[d] coordination and achieve[d] mutual goals” with local authorities, and to be “leaving Minnesota safer."
But media coverage painting Homan as a sort of savior-like figure since swooping into Minneapolis made Latino politicians in Washington laugh until they cry.
Vargas for one wasn’t buying anything about the notion of Homan as a friendlier face of Trumpist immigration policy.
“You know, it's interesting because the other guy's face completely looked … like a fascist, there's no doubt about that,” he said.
Bovino courted controversy with gestures and costumes critics said evoked far-right precedents.
“And then it just was downgraded to a bully,” Vargas said of Homan. “But we're still at bully level. I mean, him being the nice face is incredible. You know, really, the bully is the nice guy?”
'Horrible stuff'
Other CHC members concurred.
“You know, [Homan] has a pretty brutal history, so for him to become like a lighter version, it'll be tough for him to do that,” Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) told Raw Story.
“His demeanor has been very in-your-face. And, you know, that's what they're trying to do. Today we heard from a Marine whose father was a gardener who was beaten down by ICE, the father of three U.S. Marines, [Narciso] Barranco.
“So this is horrible stuff that is happening in the nation. The fact that they are reacting shows that they admit what they got wrong.”
Others on the Hispanic Caucus said they’d heard Homan’s tune before.
“[The Minnesota surge ]has created so much backlash even within their own base, that they have to try to quell that, because it's just undermining their position,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) told Raw Story. “Even when they said that they were doing a surge in LA, they pulled back, they didn't.
“So I think it's probably hiding the ball a little bit, Homan being the ‘softer face’. I think it's a laughable approach.
“Remember a lot of the stuff he was saying early on? Maybe he didn't agree with it. Who knows, but he still believes in a kind of a hardcore anti-immigrant enforcement.”
Jimmy Kimmel has ripped into Donald Trump's administration after a picture of Pam Bondi's notes from the congressional hearing earlier this week appeared.
The Attorney General had notes from Democratic Party representative Pramila Jayapal's searches of the Epstein files. Though legally allowed to search through the files, a member of the Trump admin had taken notes on what the US representative from Washington's 7th congressional district had searched.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson would call this an oversight from the admin, though Kimmel is unconvinced that documenting the Democrats' search history is an accident.
Speaking during the opening monologue of his talk show, Kimmel said, "For those who are wondering when the abuse of power will end, the answer is never, probably. So a photographer got a shot of her [Bondi's] folder, she opened the folder, they got a shot, you can see a page that says 'Jayapal Pramila Search History'.
"That refers to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat, with whom Bondi exchanged one of the most contentious exchanges of the day. The photo appears to show a list of everything Jayapal searched for in the Epstein files. They tracked her search history in the private room at the Department of Justice, where people are legally permitted to look at the less redacted files.
"It seems that they tracked those Congresspeople without their knowledge, they gave out their search history to give Bondi an edge in the hearings and then they're so dumb they printed it out and put a title on the top. It's such a delicate balance between stupid and evil."
Kimmel went on to criticize Johnson for the "deeply disturbing" oversight. Johnson said, "I don't think it's appropriate for anyone to be tracking that so I will echo that to anybody involved in the DoJ, and I'm sure it's an oversight, that's my guess.
Kimmel replied, "That's a bad guess. An oversight? You mean someone forgot to not track and document everything elected members of Congress were privately looking up? That's a hell of an oversight."
