Devin Nunes Teases Previously Undisclosed Document Devastating to Brennan and Comey’s Russia Collusion Hoax Deployment
As more details have emerged over the last few weeks regarding the Russian Collusion hoax, Devin Nunes, the former congressman who initially led the Russia investigation in 2017, has disclosed that a new document suggests that John Brennan, James Comey, and others knew right from the start that the ‘Russian Collusion’ story was “stirred up” by the Clinton campaign.
Yet, the rollout of the long-debunked hoax was still rolled out with the effect of diminishing President Trump’s first term in office.
Nunes claimed that this document was undisclosed to the investigators until late 2020. During a FOX News interview with Trey Gowdy, who was also involved in the 2017 investigation, Nunes discussed the undisclosed document, and more importantly, the still-unpublished report that Nunes wrote in response to the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia Collusion:
“…there was a document that you nor I saw back in 2017, and 2018 while we were doing this investigation, it didn’t appear until right before the election in 2020. In October 2020, then-Director Ratcliffe declassifie[d] this document. And it was sent in September 2016 from the CIA to Director Comey and Peter Strzok. That document we never saw.
You got to put a little bit of common sense to this. If you listen to what your interaction with Brennan was, he never briefed us on this. He knew, the CIA sent to Comey and to the FBI, that the Russians and others knew that the Clinton Campaign and the DNC were actively involved in stirring up a Russian controversy with Trump. That was real intelligence. It never made it to us. It really didn’t allow President Trump to govern in his first term…because…everything was about Russia all the time. And it was all a bunch of non-sense. And hopefully now they’ll be able to get to the bottom of this and people can be held accountable.
Nunes does not elaborate on what specifically the document contains nor when he hopes it will be publicly released. However, Nunes then refers to the report he submitted regarding the CIA Intelligence Community Assessment that has been declassified (twice) but has never been publicly released:
Right after the election in 2017, we were briefed by the FBI and the other intelligence agencies, and we were told everything was normal. Yeah, the Russians, all the usual suspects, were up to their usual games but there was nothing unusual about it. This was a week or two after the election in 2016. We…had been running an investigation and warning the Obama administration about Putin for a very long time.
Then we went home for Thanksgiving and the Senate got a different briefing. So, in between that time, Obama and company, including, had to be Comey and had to be Brennan, conspired to produce this ICA that then in December [2016]…I warned that ‘look this looks like political nonsense here.”
…Why does all this matter? We then did a long investigation looking into this ICA that had the [Steele] Dossier shoved into it, that should have never been shoved into it, because now we know that Brennan and Comey and everybody knew that this was a Clinton campaign hoax.
So what happened to that ICA? We did an exhaustive study of it, Trey. You remember. That report, which I still can’t believe this, that report has still not been put out. Now, Director Ratcliffe put out something recently about the tradecraft issues at the CIA, but the report that we did…that still has not been released. And I think Chairman Crawford…has requested that be put out. And I think you and I both agree that that it should be put out.

Once again, it is not clear specifically what report Nunes is referring to; however, in March 2025, President Trump ordered “all of the materials referenced in the Presidential Memorandum of January 19, 2021” to be declassified. President Trump did determine that certain material proposed for redaction by the FBI in 2021 would remain classified. He also stated that the declassification “does not extend to materials that must be protected from disclosure pursuant to orders of the [FISA] Court,” as well as personally identifiable information.
FBI Director Kash Patel was also intimately involved in this investigation and laid the foundation for his 2023 book, “Government Gangsters.” However, at that time, the Durham Report was the keystone investigation into ‘Russia Collusion’ and did not suggest that Brennan, Comey, or any other leadership at the FBI or CIA knew that the Russia Collusion narrative was initiated by the Clinton campaign.
So glad @CannConActual & I recently did Government Gangsters on Book Club. The administration was always prioritizing Russia Gate. They’ve been building the record for years. And those plot lines were left hanging in Kash’s book. Nunes is now reviving them.
This makes sense.… https://t.co/YJzwJrjBO1

Sanctuary cities fail — but Karen Bass keeps pushing the lie
In yet another low point for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), she marched into the drug-ridden chaos of MacArthur Park — press corps in tow — to join a protest last week against federal immigration enforcement. She demanded that agents leave the area immediately. The stunt accomplished nothing beyond generating a photo op and pushing the false narrative that Bass stood for her city’s “honor.”
In reality, her appearance exposed a familiar truth: Sanctuary city mayors like Bass offer no real solutions to the crises they helped create. Worse, they routinely display ignorance of how federalism actually works.
The 2024 election was a clear rebuke of sanctuary city policies and the broader anti-borders agenda that Bass represents.
The Supremacy Clause — Article VI, Clause 2 of the Constitution — makes clear that federal law overrides state and local laws when they conflict. Immigration policy, long upheld by the courts as a federal responsibility, lies squarely within Washington’s authority. In Arizona v. United States (2012), the Supreme Court reaffirmed that states and localities cannot pursue policies that obstruct federal immigration enforcement.
By declaring Los Angeles a sanctuary city and demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stand down, Bass didn’t just express a policy preference. She tried to seize power that the Constitution explicitly grants to the federal government.
This isn’t a symbolic squabble. Immigration enforcement involves national security, public safety, and international diplomacy. Local governments lack both the authority and the expertise to handle these matters on their own.
Sanctuary cities in crisis
The leftist mayor’s public campaign against ICE is especially galling considering that the agency’s presence in Los Angeles stems directly from the city’s sanctuary policies. For years, Los Angeles has limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities, refusing to honor ICE detainers and withholding information when illegal aliens are released from custody.
Bass and her predecessors created the very conditions that now require federal intervention. Far from “overstepping” in L.A., ICE is responding to a city government that harbors people who violate federal immigration law, including those with serious criminal records.

The consequences of sanctuary policies have been devastating. Los Angeles, once a beacon of prosperity and opportunity, is struggling with high crime rates, strained public services, and a ballooning budget deficit.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, violent crime in the city increased by 11.6% from 2020 to 2022, with homicides spiking to levels not seen in over a decade. The city’s homeless population, which includes a significant number of illegal aliens, has surged to more than 75,000, overwhelming shelters and defiling public spaces.
Sanctuary policies worsen the crisis by cutting off cooperation with federal immigration authorities, giving criminal elements more room to operate unchecked. The burden on public resources grows heavier by the day. Los Angeles expects a $400 million budget shortfall in 2025, yet city leaders continue pouring funds into programs for illegal aliens, including legal aid and housing. These decisions reflect an ideological agenda that leaves taxpaying citizens footing the bill for rising crime and collapsing public services.
Bass’ posture isn’t just another act of left-wing defiance. It’s a warning sign of a national policy failure. Cities like San Francisco, Chicago, and New York have followed the same sanctuary script, and the results are as predictable as they are destructive: higher crime, strained infrastructure, and a public rapidly losing faith in its leaders.
In New York City, for instance, the influx of immigrants has pushed the city to the brink, with Mayor Eric Adams admitting in 2023 that the crisis could “destroy” the city. New York is no outlier. It is what happens when a city abandons order for lawlessness.
Enough is enough
Americans have had enough. The 2024 presidential election was a clear rebuke of sanctuary city policies and the broader anti-borders agenda that Bass represents. The L.A. mayor’s defiance of ICE is not just a legal overreach; it is a rejection of the democratic will of the American people, who have made it clear that they want safe streets, secure borders, and accountable leaders.
Instead of confronting the crime, homelessness, and fiscal crises fueled by her city’s policies, Bass chose to cling to a failed ideology. Her call for ICE to leave is not a defense of compassion but a surrender to anarchy. Americans deserve leaders who respect the Constitution rather than cling to a discredited sanctuary city experiment.

USDC Holders Can Now Earn Yield on Crypto Options Exchange Deribit
Deribit, the world’s largest crypto options exchange, has announced a new rewards program for eligible USDC holders to enhance users’ collateral choices and boost overall capital efficiency on the platform.
These payments are possible because Deribit leverages Coinbase as a custody solution for USDC and Coinbase, in turn, pays rewards to those holding USDC through them. As of July 2025, the reward rate stands at 4%, though users should note that Coinbase regularly adjusts these rates.
USDC is the world’s second-largest dollar-pegged stablecoin with a market value of $63.83 billion at press time. Deribit accounts for nearly 80% of the global crypto options activity.
The eligibility to receive the USDC yield is determined by the user’s location, Deribit said in the official announcement, adding that for institutional users, the place of incorporation and principal place of business are taken into consideration.
Additionally, users must store their USDC directly with Deribit, and now with an external custodian, to earn the yield. In case of a hybrid setup, only the USDC held on Deribit will be considered.
The first rewards will be paid in August 2025, with the amount calculated based on the minimum equity held each day between July 15 and July 31, the exchange said.
