Ex-FBI chief James Comey, charged with lying to Congress, insists that he’s being selectively and vindictively prosecuted and that he never committed the offenses.

But a trove of evidence released in response to his claims by prosecutors undermines his case.

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan filed a response to Comey’s demand that the court dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution.

And it includes “bombshell, damning evidence” in his own handwritten note on FBI letterhead confirming his knowledge of and participation in “the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump.”

Exhibit 5 gets worse.

James Comey, from his burner gmail with his alias Reinhold Niebuhr, states:

The exhibits include statements from Comey, “from his burner gmail with his alias Reinhold Niebuhr, that, ‘At this point it would shouting into the wind. Some day they will figure it out. And as Jack and Ben point out, my decision will be one a president elect Clinton will be very grateful for (though that wasn’t why I did it).’”

He also, responding to a planted New York Times hit piece against Trump, told “FBI special government employee Daniel Richman, ‘Well done my friend. Who knew that would. E so uh fun.”

Richman was the tool Comey is accused of using to leak government secrets to the media.

BREAKING: Comey knew top aide was talking to media, emails show pic.twitter.com/RKlU2Q1Q57

— Just the News (@JustTheNews) November 3, 2025

A report at the Gateway Pundit explains that federal prosecutors have confirmed they have a “trove of personal emails” with Comey openly talking, before the 2016 election, how he expected to work for “president elect” Clinton and he “was being kept apprised by a top FBI aide on efforts to anonymously provide information to the news media.”

The report called the court filing responding to Comey’s demand the case be dismissed a “bombshell.”

“Halligan cited and attached to the filing numerous emails in which Comey was clearly aware that Richman was working to provide information anonymously to news outlets about the Clinton email case and that he expected those outreach efforts would end with Clinton defeating Donald Trump in the November 2016 election,” explained Just the News.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is claiming that struggling federal workers agree with Democrats’ shutdown strategy despite the funding lapse creating financial uncertainty for hundreds of thousands who receive a government salary.

Van Hollen, who represents a vast swath of federal workers in Maryland’s D.C. suburbs, voiced confidence that government employees want Democrats to keep the government shuttered indefinitely until their demands are met, in a brief interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday. The Maryland Democrat suggested that federal workers care more about opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda rather than receiving their next paycheck in a timely manner.

“I think they all would like to see the shutdown end, but they also don’t like giving Donald Trump a blank check,” Van Hollen said while also acknowledging that federal workers have a “mix of views” on the subject. “I mean, he’s been shutting down parts of this government since Day One. I mean, he brought in Elon Musk, right? And they took a chainsaw to different federal agencies, so they’ve been shutting it down piecemeal since Day One.”

When asked if federal workers’ support for the 35-day shutdown is weakening over time, Van Hollen replied, “I haven’t seen their support eroding.”

Van Hollen’s remarks follow the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a prominent federal workers’ union representing more than 800,000 employees, urging Democrats to pass the GOP-backed continuing resolution (CR) to end the funding lapse.

Though AFGE president Everett Kelley warned that federal workers were “hurting” during the shutdown, Democrats have not reversed course to reopen the government.

More than 700,000 government employees have been furloughed and are turning to second jobs and food banks to make ends meet. A wide range of government employees, including air traffic controllers and VA nurses, are reporting to work without pay.

Hundreds of businesses, unions and advocacy groups have called on Congress to end the shutdown using Republicans’ preferred approach of a clean CR.

Democrats have thus far refused to fund the government until Republicans agree to add on partisan policy demands to a government funding measure.

“They’ve been blackmailing federal employees since Day One in this administration, including during the shutdown,” Van Hollen told the DCNF. “This is why we’re standing up for them.”

Van Hollen’s Democratic colleague, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, who also represents a large cohort of federal workers in the D.C. suburbs, lashed out at Trump when asked about a growing number of industry groups and unions calling for an end to the shutdown.

“I think it’s interesting that the day Americans — the one out of every eight Americans who need food assistance — were getting turned down, the president of the United States was having a Great Gatsby Party,” Warner said regarding a major federal food aid program expiring due to Democrats’ shutdown.

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders warned on the New York Times’ “The Opinions” podcast Monday that the Democratic Party’s survival is not guaranteed.

The Democratic Party’s favorability stands at just 33.4%, according to the RealClearPolling average. Sanders said on the podcast that the party’s survival hinged upon opening up to the masses instead of catering to elites.

WATCH:

“When I ran for president, you know, one of the things that I learned is there ain’t much of a Democratic Party. There are people on the top,” Sanders said. “When I think about a party, I think about the involvement of large numbers of people at the grassroots level … People disagree. They yell and shout at each other. As people have said, democracy is kind of messy.”

“But I think sometimes when people think about the Democratic Party, they think of these cocktail parties in New York City or LA, where wealthy people mingle with consultants, mingle with the leadership. That’s not much of a party,” he added. “That’s really kind of an elitist institution. So, one of the things that I believe — if the Democratic Party is to survive, maybe it will, maybe it won’t — the transformation has to be to open the doors, to bring in millions of people, to hear what they have to say, to have them start running for office, etc.”

Sanders ran for president as a Democrat in 2016 and 2020. He asserted on “Flagrant” in May that both of his campaigns experienced “hatred” from the “Democratic establishment.”

“[T]he establishment did not want to open the door. They hated the idea for all these people whose hands were a little bit dirty, who didn’t have PhDs or weren’t wealthy — imagine walking in: ‘It’s my party, man. You ain’t getting in. We will fight you in the most ruthless ways that we can.’ And that’s the struggle,” he said at the time. “Are they gonna open the door, or are they prepared to lose elections, literally, and … go down with the Titanic?”

Sanders also blamed Harris’ 2024 election loss on the Democratic Party neglecting working-class voters in a November 2024 statement posted to X.

Moreover, a New York Times analysis of voter registration data released in August found that the Democratic Party experienced a decline of around 2.1 million registered voters between 2020 and 2024. A May Puck/Echelon poll also found that likely voters largely viewed the Democratic Party as “liberal, weak, corrupt.”

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who was the second-in-command to George W. Bush after 9/11 and largely is considered the architect of America’s then “war-on-terror” but probably more famous now for having a daughter, ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, who turned on a Republican president and worked with Democrats to undermine a duly elected president, has died.

His family announced his passing on Tuesday.

“Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” the family told Fox News.

“The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States. Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing. We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”

Breaking: Dick Cheney, who served four Republican presidents and whose role as an architect of the post-9/11 war on terror made him one of the most powerful—and controversial—U.S. vice presidents in history, died. He was 84.

A divisive figure after 9/11, online commenters blamed him for the war in Iraq seeking Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” in which thousands of Americans, and thousands of Iraqis, perished.

There were offensive memes announcing his death, to the accompaniment of fireworks.

But referencing the left’s celebrations of the assassination a month ago of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, one said, “I don’t have anything nice to say about Dick Cheney, so I’ll leave it at condolences to his family. See, Libs, that’s how you do it.”

He had a long history of cardiac issues, including five heart attacks. He received a lung transplant in 2021.

Fox explained, “In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, he never expressed doubt about his support for indefinite detention for alleged terrorist prisoners or even about waterboarding.” In fact, he said, in 2008, “I feel very good about what we did. If I was faced with those circumstances again, I’d do exactly the same thing.”

He also worked in the oil industry.

Cheney was born Jan. 30, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska, and grew up in Casper, Wyoming.

Trump backs Cuomo in NYC race, warns “vote Cuomo or lose the city”

TRUMP AND CUOMO: QUEENS KINGS TEAM UP (SORT OF)

Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York told Fox News host Bill Hemmer Monday he opposed tax increases in his state but wanted to see higher federal tax rates.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of New York City has been running on left-wing policies, including establishing government-run grocery stores, free child care and free use of transit buses, while also calling for increasing taxes on predominantly white and wealthy neighborhoods of the Big Apple to fund those programs. Hemmer, on “America’s Newsroom,” asked Suozzi about former President Barack Obama declining to endorse Mamdani, leading Suozzi, who said he “fundamentally” disagrees with Mamdani’s proposals, to criticize the self-described Democratic socialist mayoral candidate.

“I think that we have to look at the fact that Mamdani, again, like President Trump, is a charismatic person and effective campaigner and he knows how to use social media and he’s very intelligent and he’s tapped into this anxiety people have about their finances, the same as President Trump has,” Suozzi, who announced he was backing former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo Wednesday, said. “The problem is his solutions, raise taxes in New York, raise the minimum wage in New York are bad ideas because New York is not competitive with the rest of the country.”

WATCH:

“I’m all for raising taxes on wealthy people, I’m all for raising the minimum wage in our country, but let’s not make it just New York where we are chasing businesses and individuals out of our state,” Suozzi continued. “When I was born there were 40 some odd members of Congress from New York State. Today, there’s 26 members of Congress from New York State and it’s going to go down in the next census. Why? Florida and Texas are growing. Places like New York are not growing.”

Hemmer questioned whether tax increases in New York wouldn’t increase the number of people leaving the state.

“I only support it at the national level. I wouldn’t support at the local level because people are leaving our state,” Suozzi said. “I don’t want someone to say I’m moving to Florida or Texas because I can have lower taxes there. Wherever you go in the country, I’m all for you paying higher taxes anywhere in the country.”

“I don’t think America understands this. Our focus has been on the flight out of California going back to 2020,” Hemmer responded. “New York State has led the country in those who have moved out of the empire state. You can’t continue to afford this trend.”

During his time as Nassau County executive, Suozzi raised taxes by $200 million, according to PolitiFact.

“Two-Faced Tom Suozzi finally said the quiet part out loud: He wants you to pay higher taxes. Suozzi is hopelessly out of touch and soon to be out of a job,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

A new internal report regarding the British Broadcasting Corp. confirms that its officials lied about President Donald Trump when reporting on the Jan. 6, 2021, speech to a crowd of fans.

That was the day that some of those fans walked to the Capitol to protest what they viewed as the wrongful election of Joe Biden.

Some broke the law by entering the building when authorities barred them. And a few inside vandalized parts of the building.

They later were pardoned by Trump.

But according to the Daily Mail, a new “damning internal report” confirms that the BBC “manipulated” statements “to make it appear as though he encouraged his supporters to break into the Capitol.”

INSANE: BBC Panorama *edited footage* of Trump’s speech to make it look like he encouraged the Capitol Hill riot.

The Trump hating leftists at the BBC broadcast the programme a week before the US election.

Michael Prescott, was an independent adviser to the BBC for years, and sent a dossier to its board last month, the report said.

The documentation accused the BBC, which is paid for by taxpayers in the U.K., of having a widespread bias against Trump, on the Gaza war and on the transgender debate.

“Prescott explained how the BBC – often described as the world’s ‘most trusted’ broadcaster – ‘completely misled’ viewers during an episode of the program Panorama which aired a week before the election by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to ‘fight like hell.’”

The analysis revealed that Trump actually said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

He ended up not being allowed by Secret Service to walk with the crowd.

The network created Trump saying things he “never actually said” by editing and splicing footage of his speech, the report said.

The memo’s author warned BBC chief Samir Shah of the very dangerous precedent created by the Panorama claims.

“It is now understood that Prescott’s report is circulating among senior figures in the British government,” the report said.

Donald Trump Jr. said, “The FAKE NEWS ‘reporters’ in the UK are just as dishonest and full of s— as the ones here in America!!!!’ he wrote on X.”

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in the report, “‘We have Britain’s national broadcaster using a flagship program to tell palpable untruths about Britain’s closest ally. Is anyone at the BBC going to take responsibility – and resign?”

On the eve of Election Day in New York City, President Donald Trump urged citizens of the Big Apple to vote – not for Republican Curtis Sliwa, but for Democrat-turned-Independent Andrew Cuomo, as he does not wish “Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani” to be the next mayor.

“A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani,” Trump said Monday on Truth Social.

“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!”

Trump gave a lengthy explanation for his plea, saying: “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!

“It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win.

“His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful. I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE.

“He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory!”

Last month, the president was asked directly about the contest by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, and Trump appeared hesitant, saying, “I guess I haven’t made a decision really.”

Florida police have released borderline graphic video of when a sheriff’s deputy was forced to take down a thug who had a knife and was threatening the life of a 7-year-old child.

The footage is from bodycam documentation of the confrontation between Antonio Gonzalez, of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and the late Mario Comacho, 27, who died in the episode.

The video of the deputy confronting the suspect, who was reported to have a knife at the child’s throat and was choking him, in a back room of a house in Brandon, Florida:

The sheriff’s office later issued a statement about the incident.

Authorities said the confrontation happened on Sunday when deputies got a call about a domestic violence situation.

The caller said Camacho was armed with a knife and threatening the little boy.

“Once on scene, the suspect barricaded himself with his brother in a back bedroom. Deputies heard the child screaming for help and kicked down the door. Deputies encountered the suspect, who was holding a knife and refusing to let go of the child. The suspect was wearing a motorcycle helmet and two tactical vests with ballistic plates. After several commands to drop the knife, our deputy shot the suspect, rescuing the brother,” authorities reported.

Camacho was pronounced dead at Brandon Regional Hospital.
