The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover video of a Finance Development Officer for Los Angeles Housing Department admitting to witnessing multiple instances of fraud.

Donald Byers told the undercover OMG journalist that $10 to $20 million are going into people’s pockets and that homeless developers are embezzling money.

Byers also said that the superiors look the other way to help corrupt Democrat Mayor Karen Bass maintain “re-election funds.”

Per the O’Keefe Media Group:

Donald Byers, a Finance Development Officer from the Los Angeles housing programs, admits on hidden camera that millions of taxpayer money disappear inside the city’s low-income housing system. Byers told our undercover journalist he flagged the fraud internally but was ignored.

“I’ve reported it… nothing happens.”

Accountability is avoided. Despite years-long delays on projects, funding continues to flow even when, by his own admission, officials are failing. Meanwhile, as billions are poured into homelessness programs, the money is “going to people’s pockets.”

Despite years-long project delays, funding continues to flow even as, by his own admission, oversight appears to be failing. After raising red flags, Byers says nothing changed and now he claims, “At this point, I’m just covering myself.”

“I have a couple of developers doing really sketchy stuff,” Donald Byers said.

My project was with a developer called CRCD — Marcella Gardens. We [LA City] can’t figure out where all the money is going… it’s going to people’s pockets,” Donald Byers said.

“If they [LA Housing Department] were to call out the people [Developers] contacting Karen Bass’s office, she might not get enough money for re-election — or for what she needs done,” he said.

“For whatever reason, LAHSA gets allocated a ton of money, but they [LAHSA] don’t really have a whole lot to show for it,” he said.

Senator Ruben Gallego turned on his good friend Eric Swalwell after initially defending him on social media.

On Monday, Gallego began to distance himself from Swalwell shortly before the California Democrat announced his resignation from Congress amid allegations of sexual assault.

“I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Gallego said ahead of Swalwell’s resignation.

“I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew,” he added.

On Tuesday, after a fifth Swalwell accuser came forward at a press conference in Beverly Hills and accused the California Democrat of violently raping her at a West Hollywood hotel in 2018, Gallego threw Swalwell under the buss

“Eric Swalwell lied to all of us. He lies to the most powerful people in this country. And they trusted him,” Gallego told reporters.

“They trusted him with the most sensitive spots in our government. Whether it was a Judiciary Committee, Intel Committee, or impeaching Donald Trump,” he said.

“And that clouded my judgment, my friendship with him, our family’s friendship together with him clouded my judgment, and I was wrong,” Gallego said.

Gallego claimed that Swalwell was living a ‘double life’ but conceded he heard rumors that Swalwell was ‘flirty’ with women.

WATCH:

A reporter asked Gallego if he was in the hotel room and sitting next to Swalwell on the bed in the leaked video.

Martin Shkreli and Jack Posobiec released videos of Swalwell sitting on a bed with a sex worker. A man who resembles Gallego is briefly seen sitting on the bed.

“Was that you sitting next to him?” a reporter asked Gallego.

Gallego said that was not him in the video.

“No, I was not sitting next to him, I was not in the room,” the Democrat Senator said.

“I didn’t know where it happened. Right-wing political operatives are pushing this narrative that somehow I was in that room with uh Eric Swalwell and that is an absolute lie,” he said

Another Swalwell accuser came forward and spoke at press conference in Beverly Hills on Tuesday morning.

The 5th Swalwell accuser to come forward, Lonna Drews, is represented by attorney Lisa Bloom.

“I represent a brave Eric Swalwell accuser. Her disturbing story is forthcoming. We call upon him to resign from Congress and the governor’s race, and we will cooperate with authorities in their investigation,” Lisa Bloom (Gloria Allred’s daughter) said on Monday evening before the press conference.

Lisa Bloom also disclosed that three other women have contacted her in the last 24 hours with accusations against Eric Swalwell.

Lonna Drews recounted how Eric Swalwell drugged and raped her in 2018 and choked her to the point of unconsciousness in a West Hollywood hotel room.

“In 2018, while I was living and working as a model in Beverly Hills, and I also owned a fashion software company, I had contact with Eric Swalwell on three separate occasions,” the alleged sexual assault victim, Lonna Drews, said.

“I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant. He was my friend. On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink,” she said.

Lana Drews said Swalwell drugged her drink and violently raped her.

“He raped me, and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness. And I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity,” she said threw tears.

“I would never have engaged in a consensual sexual encounter with Eric Swalwell,” she said.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday voted 2-1 to end Judge James Boasberg’s criminal contempt inquiry related to the Trump Administration’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.

The three-judge panel ordered Boasberg to end his “intrusive” contempt probe of the Trump Administration.

Judge’s Rao (Trump) and Walker (Trump) ordered Boasberg to end his inquiry.

Judge Childs (Biden) dissented.

Last March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

Boasberg then threatened to hold Trump officials in contempt for not bringing some of the world’s most vicious killers, criminals, and rapists back to the United States.

Judge Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in criminal contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes carrying dangerous Venezuelan gang members.

In a 46-page opinion, Judge Boasberg said the Trump Administration showed willful defiance that amounts to criminal contempt.

In December Boasberg made it clear that he was not backing off from his planned contempt hearings and threatened to pierce through attorney-client privilege in his order denying the government’s motion to reconsider.

Last year, a three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted Boasberg’s contempt hearings.

Judges Rao (Trump), Walker (Trump) granted an administrative stay pending further order of the court.

Judge Childs (Biden) would have denied the motion for an administrative stay.

Boasberg recently took the next step toward ‘contempt prosecution’ after he revived his criminal contempt inquiry against President Trump over Alien Enemies Act deportations.

The Justice Department recently disclosed that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem greenlit the deportation flights in March despite Boasberg’s emergency order.

Brian Hooker, the American man who was taken into custody after his wife, Lynette Hooker, disappeared in the Bahamas was released by Bahamian authorities on Monday without charges.

The investigation is ongoing.

“Brian Hooker, an American man who told investigators his wife fell overboard and vanished in rough waters in the Bahamas, has been released from custody without charges after being arrested and questioned in his wife’s disappearance, his attorney said Monday night,” CNN reported.

“It is unclear whether Hooker will be required to stay in the Bahamas as the investigation continues or whether he is free to leave the country.”

“Hooker was arrested Wednesday and questioned in the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker, who was reported missing April 5, police have said,” the outlet reported.

Fox News also reported that Brian Hooker was released without charges.

Brian Hooker was spotted as he was being released from custody.

At least four prosecutors who weaponized the FACE Act under Merrick Garland and jailed Christians for praying at abortion clinics have been fired.

Nearly two dozen pro-life activists were charged with the FACE Act for praying at an abortion clinic in October 2020.

In one of the more egregious acts of abuse, the Biden DOJ convicted Paula Harlow last year of federal conspiracy against rights and FACE offenses for peacefully protesting an abortion clinic in DC back in 2020.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, sentenced Harlow to 24 months in prison.

She was the tenth defendant to be sentenced by the Biden Regime related to the peaceful abortion protest.

Paulette Harlow, who was 75 years old at the time, participated in a peaceful protest at an abortion clinic in 2020 and didn’t hurt anyone.

Here is video of Paulette Harlow praying and peacefully protesting in an abortion clinic:

Here is a video of the protest this poor woman is going to prison for. pic.twitter.com/xDcchPfQ7R

— Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) June 3, 2024

According to Catholic News Agency, Harlow suffered from significant health issues. Her husband at the time feared she would die in prison.

Judge Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, mocked Paula Harlow’s Christian faith when she sentenced her to prison as her husband begged for mercy expressing his fear his wife would die alone in prison.

The judge taunted the elderly woman and mocked her Christian faith and told her to honor the “tenets” of her religion and not die in jail.

Four prosecutors from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division were fired, according to CBS News.

CBS News reported:

The Justice Department has fired at least four prosecutors who were involved in prosecutions under the FACE Act during the Biden administration, a government official familiar with the firings told CBS News.

Among those fired Monday is Sanjay Patel, a longtime federal prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section who was placed on administrative leave last month, sources told CBS News at the time. The terminations occurred at about the same time a report on the FACE Act and the Biden Justice Department was being finalized.

Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994 to address rising concerns about threats and intimidation that women were facing at reproductive health clinics. Nonviolent and first-time offenses of the law are misdemeanors, while repeat offenses or violations that result in bodily injury or death can be treated as felonies.

The FACE Act report is being drafted by the Justice Department’s “weaponization working group,” established in the first days of former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s tenure.

A Justice Department spokesperson said in a statement that the department “has terminated the employment of personnel responsible for weaponizing the FACE Act who still remained at the department.”

It appears there is a backroom deal going on.

Shortly after Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress on Monday, GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales announced his retirement.

Rep. Gonzales was also facing expulsion from Congress after it was revealed he was having an affair with a staffer who died by suicide.

“There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office. It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas,” Gonzales said.

Recall that it recently came out that Tony Gonzales had an extramarital affair with a staffer who took her own life.

Last year a report came out that revealed Gonzales’ staffer who died in September after she caught on fire in her home, doused herself in gasoline and set her body on fire.

After reviewing surveillance video, authorities determined Regina Santos-Aviles was in her backyard alone when she caught fire on September 13.

Santos-Aviles was alive when first responders arrived at her home late in the evening on September 13; however, she passed away the next morning.

Firefighters also had to put out burning gas cans, according to the report obtained by Uvalde Leader-News.

Texas officials did not disclose whether Santos-Aviles deliberately set herself on fire; however, her family insists it was an accident.

“Her last words were, ‘I don’t want to die,’” a family member previously told KSAT.

Last month, Tony Gonzales admitted to having an extramarital affair with his staffer.

“I made a mistake, and I had a lapse in judgment, and there was a lack of faith, and I take full responsibility for those actions,” Gonzales said on “The Joe Pags Show” last month. “Since then, I’ve reconciled with my wife, Angel. I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has, and my faith is as strong as ever.”

“When you make mistakes like this, it’s never easy. It humbles you,” he said.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed President Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal.

Florida-based US District Judge Darrin Gayles, an Obama appointee, gave President Trump a chance to refile the lawsuit.

Trump’s legal team told Fox News that it will refile the lawsuit.

“President Trump will follow Judge Gayles’ ruling and guidance to refile this powerhouse lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and all of the other Defendants. The President will continue to hold accountable those who traffic in fake news to mislead the American people,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital.

Fox News reported:

President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story on his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was dismissed by a federal judge on Monday.

Trump filed the lawsuit last year after The Wall Street Journal published a July article claiming Trump signed a sexually suggestive letter that was included in a 2003 album compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday. The letter was subsequently released publicly by Congress, which subpoenaed the records from Epstein’s estate.

U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in Florida wrote in the order that Trump had failed to make the argument that the article was published with the intent to be malicious, but he gave the president a chance to file an amended complaint.

Last July, President Trump filed a libel lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two Wall Street Journal reporters after the Wall Street Journal dropped a Jeffrey Epstein hit piece.

The case was filed in a Miami federal court.

The Wall Street Journal dropped a ‘hit piece’ on President Trump last summer.

According to the hit piece published by The Wall Street Journal, President Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” letter for his 50th birthday depicting a naked woman.

President Trump denied he wrote the letter.

Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly prepared a ‘special gift’ and collected letters written from Trump and other people.

President Trump on Monday issued a statement on Truth Social.

“Our powerful case against The Wall Street Journal, and other defendants, was asked to be re-filed by the Judge. It is not a termination, it is a suggested re-filing, and we will be, as per the Order, re-filing an updated lawsuit on or before April 27th. President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.

President Trump vowed to never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

“Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and we’re going to get the dust back. We’ll get it back. We’ll get it back from them, or we’ll take it,” Trump said.

President Trump addressed the US Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

“We’ve been called this morning by the right people, the appropriate people, and they want to work a deal. They would like to work a deal,” Trump told reporters.

The reporter asked Trump if other countries will assist in the blockade.

“Yeah, other countries are going to also. We don’t need other countries, frankly, but they’ve offered the services. We’ll let it be known probably tomorrow,” Trump said.

Trump defended his Truth Social post criticizing Pope Leo.

“I think he’s very weak on crime and other things,” Trump said.

“You could not have a nuclear Iran. And Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result. You have hundreds of millions of people dead,” Trump said.

The president also warned Iran to strike a deal or else.

“It won’t be pleasant for them. Let me put it that way,” Trump said.

The staffer also said Swalwell raped her years later in 2024 after she left his employment.

The unidentified former female staffer sat down with CNN and recounted some of the horrific details about the alleged rape that occurred in 2024.

“I went to the bathroom, and I don’t remember anything after that,” she said, adding that she “remembered the next day.”

“I can see flashes of that evening of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive. It was aggressive,” she said about the 2024 assault.

“He didn’t stop. He didn’t stop. I woke up the next morning naked, alone in his hotel. I, for a moment, didn’t even know that I was in his hotel room. That’s how intoxicated I was,” she said.

CNN said they corroborated the woman’s claims by speaking with friends and family that she confided in. CNN also reviewed photos and screenshots of contemporaneous text messages. The outlet reviewed a message from her medical provider the week after she received the pregnancy and STD test calling her a “survivor.”

More than 50 former Swalwell staffers on Sunday demanded the California Democrat resign from Congress.

Troubled singer Britney Spears has checked into rehab for drugs and alcohol after she was arrested for DUI in Southern California, TMZ reported.

Last month, TMZ reported that the 44-year-old was taken to a hospital to have her blood drawn after she was pulled over and arrested for driving while intoxicated in Ventura, California.

Britney’s manager, Cade Hudson, told TMZ that Spears is going to take steps to comply with the law.

“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time,” Hudson told TMZ.

Page Six obtained dispatch audio that revealed Britney Spears was swerving ‘in and out’ of lanes before she was pulled over.

“Black BMW sedan in and out of lanes… speeding,” the dispatch audio revealed.

On Sunday, TMZ reported that Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into rehab.

TMZ reported:

Britney Spears is in rehab for substance abuse … TMZ has learned.

She checked in a few days ago somewhere in the United States. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … people close to the singer had been urging her to check herself in and she finally agreed to do so voluntarily.

As one source put it … “She realizes she hit rock bottom.”

Britney has had issues with drugs — in particular Adderall — and alcohol for years. During her many trips to Mexico, she made it a point to replenish her Adderall supply.

Our sources say … part of the reason she’s gone to rehab now is because of her pending DUI case. As one source says, “She knows strategically this will look good in front of the judge — that she’s taking it seriously.”

We’re told her sons and other have been strongly supportive of the move.

In recent years, Britney Spears has worried fans by posting troubling videos to her social media.

Britney Spears posts NAKED video on Instagram, showing off her behind, as she writhes around in the ocean- days after her family expressed extreme concern for her well being.

As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported on Saturday, Vice President JD Vance announced no deal had been reached with Iran after a 21-hour marathon negotiations.

Vance made the announcement during a press conference in Islamabad on Saturday night.

The Vice President traveled to Pakistan to engage in historic, direct negotiations with Iran after President Trump announced a double-sided ceasefire last week.

“We’ve been at it now for 21 hours, and we’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news,” Vance said.

“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America,” he added.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 12, 2026

At the time it was unclear which specific ‘red line’ points the US and Iran could not agree to during the negotiations.

“We’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on, and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on, and we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could,” Vance said. “Iran may have chosen not to accept our terms.”

“Well, I won’t go into all the details because I don’t want to negotiate in public after we negotiated for 21 hours in private,” Vance said.

“But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon. That is the core goal of the President of the United States, and that’s what we’ve tried to achieve through these negotiations,” he said.

Here is the US’s ‘red line’ list according to Semafor (It is unclear if any points were agreed upon):

– End all uranium enrichment
– Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities
– Retrieve highly enriched uranium
– Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies
– End funding for terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis
– Fully open the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage

Per a US official, the US and Iran did not reach agreement to all of the following points during talks this weekend (which are considered red lines for the US):

– End all uranium enrichment
– Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities
– Retrieve highly enriched uranium…

On Sunday, following Vance’s announcement that Iran failed to agree to the US’s terms, President Trump and CENTCOM announced that there will be a Naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President’s proclamation.

The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

President Trump fired six more immigration judges for blocking deportations.

On Friday, the president fired four immigration judges and continued his spree of firings on Saturday and fired two more.

According to The New York Times, Trump fired two of the immigration judges on Saturday for blocking the deportations of two pro-Palestinian activists.

Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int’l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.

In December, President Trump fired eight immigration judges in New York City.

A fired immigration judge described the firings as a “Monday afternoon massacre.”

“The court has been eviscerated,” Olivia Cassin, another immigration judge who was fired in November told The New York Times. “It feels like a Monday afternoon massacre.”

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired or resigned since President Trump took office this year.

In July, 20 immigration judges were fired.

A few of the federal immigration judges recently fired by the Trump Administration over e-mail lashed out at Trump in an interview with CBS Evening News.

Three of the fired judges – George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza – spoke to CBS about their terminations. The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.

“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”

“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”

“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”

Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.

UFC President Dana White held a press conference on Saturday night after the conclusion of UFC 327.

Dana White is known for his no-nonsense press conferences.

He never holds back.

A reporter tried to bait Dana White on a question about the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House in June.

UFC Freedom 250 will be hosted on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 to celebrate 250 years of the US.

“Be Part of History UFC Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation tribute to the American fighting spirit,” the UFC said.

“From the Revolution to the Octagon, this unforgettable event will unite generations through powerful storytelling and elite competition on the world’s greatest proving ground,” the UFC said.

A reporter tried to politicize the UFC event.

“Was there ever hesitancy or consideration of perhaps having an event at the White House and maybe a part of a fan base that does not lean into those politics with the [Trump] administration?” a reporter asked Dana White.

“I don’t think like that,” Dana White said.

Dana White called Trump a good friend and praised him for being a fan of the sport.

Last week, UFC President Dana White hinted that President Trump would be attending Saturday night’s fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

“It’s good to be back in Miami. Yeah, I’m pumped. We got the big guy coming on Saturday, too. He’s coming,” Dana White said to Adin Ross.

Biden was recently spotted at a coffee shop in Delaware.

The video was posted to TikTok last week although it is unclear when it was taken.

The former president looked feeble and exhausted as he shuffled around the shop.

Barely anyone noticed Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has largely stayed out of the public eye since leaving office and revealing a cancer diagnosis.

But every once in a while Biden crawls out of hiding to attack President Trump.

Last month, Biden unleashed an attack on President Trump during a ‘surprise’ appearance at a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast in Boston, Massachusetts.

In early March Joe Biden slammed President Trump during a political event in South Carolina.

A federal appeals court on Saturday in a 2-1 ruling said President Trump can continue the construction on the White House ballroom… for now.

The appeals court judges sent the case back down to the US District Court judge who previously halted the construction on the ballroom.

The White House argued that the construction on the ballroom must continue for national security and safety reasons.

The construction can continue until at least April 17, the appeals court judges ruled.

Late last month, a federal judge ordered the privately funded Trump White House ballroom construction project to be halted.

US District Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, temporarily halted construction on the ballroom.

The judge said Congress has to approve the construction project.

President Trump responded to the judge’s ruling last month:

“In the Ballroom case, the Judge said we have to get Congressional approval. He is WRONG! Congressional approval has never been given on anything, in these circumstances, big or small, having to do with construction at the White House. In this case, even less so, because the Ballroom is being built with Private Donations, no Federal Taxpayer Money!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Last summer, the Trump Administration announced a White House Ballroom construction project:

For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people.

The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of ornately designed and carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people — a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House.

In recent weeks, President Trump has held several meetings with members of the White House Staff, the National Park Service, the White House Military Office, and the United States Secret Service to discuss design features and planning.

President Trump has chosen McCrery Architects as lead architect, which is well-known for their classical architectural design and based in our nation’s capital. CEO Jim McCrery said: “Presidents in the modern era have faced challenges hosting major events at the White House because it has been untouched since President Harry Truman. I am honored that President Trump has entrusted me to help bring this beautiful and necessary renovation to The People’s House, while preserving the elegance of its classical design and historical importance.”

The construction team will be headed by Clark Construction, and the engineering team will be led by AECOM.

The project will begin in September 2025, and it is expected to be completed long before the end of President Trump’s term.

President Trump, and other patriot donors, have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million dollar structure. The United States Secret Service will provide the necessary security enhancements and modifications.

The White House Ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, but at the same time, it’s theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical. The site of the new ballroom will be where the small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits. The East Wing was constructed in 1902 and has been renovated and changed many times, with a second story added in 1942.

The White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said the following: “President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail. The President and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserving the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future Administrations and generations of Americans to come.”

The former staffer who says Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell raped her sat down with CNN and recounted some of the horrific details of the alleged rape.

As TGP reported on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.

“A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

After The San Francisco Chronicle dropped their bombshell report on Swalwell, three additional women spoke to CNN and provided evidence about alleged additional misconduct by the California Democrat.

The Swalwell staffer said she was sexually assaulted by Swalwell in 2019

The staffer also said Swalwell raped her years later in 2024 after she left his employment.

The unidentified former female staffer sat down with CNN and recounted some of the horrific details about the alleged rape that occurred in 2024.

“I went to the bathroom, and I don’t remember anything after that,” she said, adding that she “remembered the next day.”

“I can see flashes of that evening of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive. It was aggressive,” she said about the 2024 assault.

“Did you say no?” CNN asked the alleged victim.

“Yes. I said no,” she recounted. “In my flash that I can recall, I was pushing him off saying no.”

“And what did he do?” CNN asked the victim.

“He didn’t stop. He didn’t stop. I woke up the next morning naked, alone in his hotel. I, for a moment, didn’t even know that I was in his hotel room. That’s how intoxicated I was,” she said.

CNN said they corroborated the woman’s claims by speaking with friends and family that she confided in. CNN also reviewed photos and screenshots of contemporaneous text messages. The outlet reviewed a message from her medical provider the week after she received the pregnancy and STD test calling her a “survivor.”

WATCH:

Swalwell denied the allegations in a written statement earlier Friday.

Swalwell’s lawyers also intimidated the alleged sexual assault victim and sent her a cease-and-desist letter, accusing her of making false statements.

Late Friday night Swalwell released a desperate and unhinged video denying the sexual assault allegations against him which prompted high-profile Democrats to withdraw endorsements.

High-profile California Democrats like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi turned on Swalwell and called for him to drop out of the gubernatorial race.

A machete-wielding man was fatally shot by police on Saturday after he attacked three elder victims at Grand Central.

The unidentified stabber was known to law enforcement and has numerous prior arrests.

Video posted to X showed a bloody scene on the subway platform after police shot the maniac.

The three victims are reportedly in stable condition.

The New York Post reported:

A maniac slashed three elderly people with a machete in an unprovoked attack and was fatally shot by cops at Grand Central Terminal Saturday morning — causing mayhem that sent commuters fleeing the iconic station, police and witnesses said.

An 85-year-old man and a 65-year-old man were slashed in their heads on the 4, 5, 6 subway platform at at 9:50 a.m., police said. A 70-year-old woman was also slashed, but it wasn’t clear where on her body, cops said.

Two NYPD detectives confronted the 44-year-old and told him to drop the machete.

He ignored their commands and was shot three times, according to police sources.

The victims were taken to local hospitals in stable condition, cops said.

The slasher was taken to Bellevue Hospital and was pronounced dead a short time later, cops said.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) who previously declared that subways and trains in New York City were “safe” weighed in on the latest stabbing.

“I’ve been briefed on the horrific incident at Grand Central this morning,” Hochul said.

“Two innocent people were attacked in a senseless act of violence. I’m grateful to our brave officers who acted quickly to stop the suspect,” Hochul said.

“We’re working closely with the NYPD as the investigation unfolds,” she said.

He continued, “They also come on the eve of an election where I have been the front-runner candidate for the governor in California.”

Swalwell seeming admitted to having extra marital affairs and apologized to his wife.

Eric Swalwell concluded his short video message by telling the public that he will spend the rest of the weekend with his friends and family.

Hunter Biden has reportedly fled the US and is $17 million in debt.

Why doesn’t Hunter Biden just sell a few pieces of his highly coveted art? Don’t each one of Hunter Biden’s art pieces cost more than a Degas?

It is unclear where Hunter Biden is currently residing; however, last March, he was spotted out and about with his wife in South Africa.

Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, is from South Africa.

Last year, Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his second wife, Melissa Cohen, and their toddler son, Beau, on a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, with US Secret Service agents in tow.

Shortly after Laura Loomer and The New York Post reported that Hunter Biden fled the US and was in South Africa last year, Trump stripped the former first son’s Secret Service protection.

“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,” Trump said last year on Truth Social.

“Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” Trump said on Truth Social.

According to The Daily Mail, Hunter Biden is being sued by his former lawyers for outstanding legal fees.

The Daily Mail reported:

Hunter Biden has quietly pulled up stakes and left the country amid claims he is $17 million in debt and living overseas, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The disclosure came in a new legal filing submitted by his attorney Barry Coburn on April 6, in Washington DC, where the first son is being sued by his former attorneys at Winston & Strawn.

The court filing bluntly states ‘Mr Biden lives abroad’, and argues that the former First Son ‘cannot afford’ to pay off his outstanding legal fees.

The law firm defended Hunter, 56, in his tax and gun crimes cases, as well as other legal battles, but claims he failed to pay bills ‘substantially in excess of $50,000’.

On a podcast appearance last year Hunter himself claimed he was in ‘$17 million of debt.’

Coburn declined to comment to the Daily Mail, and did not specify where in the world Hunter, 56, now lives – but it’s not America.

However, last year Hunter was spotted spending time in South Africa, the birthplace of his wife Melissa, 39, the mother of his youngest child.

President Trump on Friday departed the White House en route to Charlottesville, Virginia, for a fundraiser.

Trump stopped to chat with reporters before departing for Virginia.

The reporters peppered Trump with questions about the ceasefire with Iran and ongoing issues with the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier this week President Trump announced a double-sided ceasefire and agreed to suspend his planned military strikes on Iran after speaking with the Pakistani Prime Minister:

Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.

This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.

We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.

On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iran reportedly accepted the ceasefire announced by President Trump, according to The New York Times and the Associated Press.

Earlier Thursday President Trump lashed out at Iran for restricting vessels from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

“Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Thursday.

On Friday President Trump answered questions from reporters.

“What’s your backup plan?” a reporter asked President Trump.

“You don’t need a backup plan! Their military is defeated!” Trump said.

Creepy Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell is going down in flames.

Swalwell is currently running as a Democrat in California’s gubernatorial race.

As TGP reported earlier on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.

“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” he said.

“For nearly 20 years, I have served the public — as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women,” Swalwell said.

”I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action,” he added.

Swalwell’s lawyers also intimidated the alleged sexual assault victim and sent her a cease-and-desist letter, accusing her of making false statements.

The officers learned that an unknown man had thrown “an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate,” police said.

The suspect fled on foot, and his description was broadcast to all officers.

Kamala Harris on Friday impersonated President Trump as a “mob boss.”

Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Senator Mark Kelly, and other high-profile Democrats and possible 2028 presidential hopefuls were in New York attending the National Action Network convention.

The event is being hosted by Al Sharpton.

“Two years out, we’ll see some of the people that have been thinking of running, and they’ll see us,” Al Sharpton told Politico.

Harris signaled she may run for president again.

Al Sharpton asked Kamala Harris if she would run for president in 2028 after she got trounced by President Trump in 2024.

“Listen. I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said.

“Let me also say this, I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” she said. “I know what the job is, and I know what it requires.”

Harris continued on with her word salad.

“Look, the American people have the right to expect that anyone who wants to run for office and be a leader, that it can’t be about themselves and what they want for themselves has to be about the American people,” Kamala said.

“And that’s how I think of it and I am thinking about it in the context of… who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people?” she said.

“I’ll keep you posted,” Kamala added.

Kamala Harris then impersonated Trump as a “mob boss” as she criticized his foreign policy.

“And then he, Rev, kinda acts like a mob boss. So then he’s kind of like, ‘well, you know. You take Eastern Europe and I’ll take the Western Hemisphere and then you over there, you get Asia. And we’ll just divide it up,'” she said.
