There has been a significant shake-up within the FBI as one of its top officials has been forced out.

NBC News reported Monday that James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York office, threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.

“Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did,” Dennehy wrote in an email obtained by NBC. “I was not given a reason for this decision.”

Two sources confirmed to NBC that Dennehy was given the choice between getting fired or resigning. He chose the latter.

She later announced that a key FBI official involved in withholding these critical documents “will not be working for us anymore.” Was it Dennehy?

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the FBI was withholding thousands of Epstein files. She ordered the FBI to provide the complete Epstein files by Friday morning, February 28, and directed an immediate investigation into the oversight.

Last Thursday’s much-hyped release of “The Epstein Files: Phase One” fell flat for many Americans hungry for the truth. The 120-page dump, handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers, was a heavily redacted dud—mostly rehashed information previously seen.

NBC News also noted that Dennehy previously wrote an email to his staff after the Trump Justice Department requested a list of employees who had worked criminal cases against the hundreds of Trump J6 supporters persecuted by the Biden regime.

As TGP readers know, then-acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll refused to hand over the names of the officials involved in the J6 and Trump investigations.

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own as good people are being walked out of the FBI,” Dennehy wrote in the email. “And others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy.”

“Time for me to dig in,” Dennehy added.

Now, it is time for the Epstein files to be fully released. No more excuses.

President Trump paused all military aid to Ukraine after Zelensky suggested the war with Russia would last a long time, Bloomberg reported.

The pause will halt all military aid that is currently in transit to Ukraine.

Earlier Monday Trump said he has absolutely had it with Zelensky digging in his heels and refusing to come to the table to a peace agreement with Russia.

Zelensky does not want peace with Russia and President Trump has absolutely had it.

Trump responded to Zelensky’s claim the end of war with Russia is ‘very, very far away.’

“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?” Trump said on Truth Social.

Later Monday it was reported that a completely fed up Trump has paused all military aid – including weapons in transit – to Ukraine.

Zelensky did not come to the White House last Friday to make peace. He came to continue the war so he can keep siphoning money from the US.

Following the blow up at the White House, Zelensky continued to be defiant in a series of X posts.

After receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid, coming to the White House on Friday with more demands, and disrespecting President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is doubling down and demanding more US support on social media.

“We’ve been fighting for 3 years, and Ukrainian people need to know that America is on our side,” the Ukrainian President said. “I want the U.S. to stand more firmly on our side.”

Zelensky tried to tone down his demands by thanking the US for supporting Ukraine over the last 3 years.

We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I’m thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion. pic.twitter.com/Z9FlWjF101

Investigative reporter Paul Bedard reported on Monday that the Trump Administration is moving to settle the Ashli Babbitt wrongful death lawsuit brought against the US government by the Babbitt family.

Judicial Watch brought forth this lawsuit.

The US District Court of the District of Columbia released a statement earlier today.

The Gateway Pundit has extensively covered this lawsuit since it was filed in January 2024.

The lawsuit extensively details the history of incompetence and multiple revocations of firearm privileges for previous dangerous incidents involving Officer Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered Babbitt in cold blood.

This includes a failure “to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements,” leaving a “loaded Glock 22 – the same firearm he used to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt – in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center,” and a shooting into a moving vehicle, stolen by teenagers, where the off-duty cop reportedly struck homes nearby with his bullets.

“Lt. Byrd had a reputation among peers for not being a good shot,” the lawsuit alleges.

"Lt. Byrd later confessed that he shot Ashli before seeing her hands or assessing her intentions or even identifying her as female. Ashli was unarmed. Her hands were up in the air, empty, and in plain view of Lt. Byrd and other officers in the lobby,” the filing also states.

Previously, Judicial Watch received a memo on the January 6 shooting “recommending ‘that the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia decline for criminal prosecution the fatal shooting of Ashli McEntee [Babbitt],’ also noting that the shooter, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, ‘did not create a police report or documents’ related to the shooting of Babbitt,'” the watchdog reported. Micki Whitthoeft commented in our exclusive interview on the lack of oversight within the Capitol Police Department and their tendency to "choose not to" report incidents.

"It's like asking the dog who got in the trash. He's always gonna say the cat did it." Whitthoft further told us of an incident in the Canon Congressional Office Building, where she had to wake up the sleeping officer so that she and others could enter through the metal detectors and TSA-style bag check.

Today, years after Ashli was gunned down in the US Capitol, the Trump administration signaled that they will resolve this case for the family.

The parties have agreed to work in good faith to narrow or resolve the issues in this case.

President Trump has inked another massive $100 billion deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to produce chip manufacturing plants in the United States.

President Trump made the announcement on Monday afternoon with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and TSMC CEO C.C. Wei.

WATCH:

Trump: Today, Taiwan Semiconductor is announcing that they will be investing at least $100 billion in new capital in the United States over the next short period of time to build state of the art semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

I think, mostly, it’s going to be in Arizona, which is what I understand, which is a great, a great state. I like it because I won it. But I want most of them, actually, but I did we won it, and we won it big.

The most powerful AI chips in the world will be made right here in America, And it’ll be a big percentage of the chips made by his company, but as you know, they’re based mostly in Taiwan, and they’re far and away the biggest; there’s nobody even close this $100 billion in new investment will go into building five cutting edge fabrication facilities in the great state, as we just discussed, Arizona.

And we’ll create thousands of jobs, many thousands of jobs, and they’re high-paying jobs. In total, today’s announcement brings Taiwan Semiconductor investments to about 1$65 billion they’ve started already.

This comes after President Trump announced that Apple will invest $500 billion, adding over 26,000 jobs to the U.S. market.

WINNING! Apple to Invest $500 Billion in U.S. After Trump Meeting With CEO Tim Cook — Will Add 20,000 Jobs Over Next Four Years

As noted by OANN correspondent Daniel Baldiwin, America is in a "domestic manufacturing renaissance," as President Trump has secured nearly $2 trillion in foreign investments since taking office less than two months ago.

Trump has secured:

- $100 billion from TSMC;
- $500 billion from Apple;
- $27 billion from Zepbound;
- $100 billion from Softbank;
- $20 billion from DAMAC;
- $500 billion from Stargate;
- $600 billion from Saudi Arabia.

Sounds like a domestic manufacturing renaissance to me!

TSMC CEO C.C. Wei thanked President Trump for the opportunity to make this investment Monday, to produce "the most advanced chip made on U.S. soil."

WATCH:

Previously, under Biden, TSMC invested $65 billion after receiving a $6.5 billion grant from the Biden Regime's CHIPS Act. But President Trump, in two months--not four years--has secured nearly twice the investment without paying a dime.

" you're seeing the power of Donald Trump's presidency because TSMC, the greatest manufacturer of chips in the world, is coming to America with a $100 billion investment," Howard Lutnick said. "that is backed by the fact that they can come here because they can avoid paying tariffs. So the idea is, come to America, build greatness in America, build for the American customers—the apple, Nvidia, that whole list that Chairman Wei gave—in order to bring production to America."

Lutnick: TSMC received a $6 billion grant, and that encouraged them to build $65 billion. So America gave TSMC 10% of the money to build here, and now you're seeing the power of Donald Trump's presidency because TSMC, the greatest manufacturer of chips in the world, is coming to America with $100 billion investment.

And, of course, that is backed by the fact that they can come here because they can avoid paying tariffs. So the idea is, come to America, build greatness in America, build for the American customers—the apple, Nvidia, that whole list that Chairman Wei gave—in order to bring production to America.

So, we're really, really excited. This continues the most incredible path you've ever seen in these first weeks and months of the Trump administration, of incredible manufacturing coming to America. The keys that the President has called out are coming here. They're coming here in huge size because they want to be in the greatest market in the world, and they want to avoid the tariffs that if they're not here, they'd have to suffer. So, I want to congratulate C.C. Wei for bringing in this incredible 100 billion dollar investment, but it's on the shoulders of our president, Donald Trump, which is why He's coming. So thank you.
