The Atlantic, using anonymous sources, wrote that Trump disparaged murdered Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen & ordered Mark Meadows not to pay for her funeral. Guillen’s sister Marya is defending Trump’s treatment of her sister & her family, and Mark Meadows is denying the story.
Guillen family lawyer Natalie Khawam, who also appears in the Atlantic article, is also accusing Jeffrey Goldberg of misrepresenting the conversations they had and of lying in the story.

🚨New revelations by WSJ on how Biden-Harris Admin covered up COVID-19’s origins, including spy leaders excluding the FBI (at the time allegedly the only U.S. intel agency that had assessed Covid likely came from a Wuhan lab) from the 2021 briefing of Biden. But that’s not all…
Scientists at DIA’s National Center for Medical Intel concluded COVID-19 had lab origin — but that was allegedly at odds with DIA’s assessment, so the center’s assessment wasn’t incorporated in the report shown to Biden, & the scientists were told to stop sharing those findings…
State Dept official who served as consultant to WHO was opposed to lab leak hypothesis & thought WHO’s CCP-influenced inquiry should be taken seriously. She was made director for Global Health Security for National Intel Council — which had sway over Covid origins investigation…
DOJ just let McKinsey avoid criminal charges for colluding with Purdue Pharma to unleash the opioid epidemic. McKinsey will now try to sneak into the Trump Admin
— but should a company that turbocharged an epidemic, lied about its work in China, & more be let in? Let’s explore.🧵
After Biden DOJ let them off the hook for opioid scandal, should Trump DOJ consider charges vs. McKinsey for working with CCP while advising the DOD & IC? McKinsey’s pattern of bad behavior during opioid crisis appears to be repeating with U.S. national security implications. 2/x
(I’ll get into all this in the thread, but beyond lying re: China work & colluding w/ Big Pharma during the opioid epidemic— while profiting off of pushing painkillers to vets while working with VA— McKinsey consults w/ fed agencies & pushed DEI into gov’t & orgs nationwide!) 3/x
🚨Grassley to Wray: “I must express my vote of no confidence in your continued leadership of the FBI. President Trump has already announced his intention to nominate a candidate to replace you, & the Senate will carefully consider that choice. For my part, I’ve also seen enough.”
Grassley to Wray: “I reminded you that an FBI Director’s ten-year term is a ceiling not a floor… Rather than turn over a new leaf at the FBI, you’ve continued to read from the old playbook of weaponization, double standards, & a relentless game of hide-&-seek with the Congress.”
Grassley to Wray: “One of the most egregious examples is the FBI’s failure to provide basic information I requested more than two years ago related to the FBI’s ongoing mishandling of sexual harassment claims made by the FBI’s female employees.”
I’m reading Hegseth’s book “The War on Warriors” & this section on the debacle in Afghanistan and the failures by Pentagon leadership & by generals is the clearest & most passionate articulation by any high-profile figure about the need for accountability at DOD. Read every word.
In 2018, as Nunes pushed to release his FISA Memo (authored partly by Kash Patel who’s reportedly being considered for FBI Director) which exposed big flaws in the FBI’s Trump-Russia inquiry, Mike Rogers (also reportedly being considered for FBI) went on NPR to fight its release.
My own thoughts in January 2018 FWIW
Here is Mike Rogers on CNN criticizing the decision by Nunes & HPSCI GOP to release the FISA Memo (authored by Kash Patel & revealed deep flaws with the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation).
Rogers & Patel both reportedly being considered for FBI Director.
Happy eight-year anniversary of Jake Sullivan assisting Hillary Clinton in pushing the bullshit Alfa Bank Trump-Russia collusion claims as a last-ditch effort to generate an October Surprise. Sullivan went on to be the Biden-Harris Admin’s disastrous national security adviser.
