President Trump’s US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Senior Advisor, Kari Lake, will sit before the House Foreign Affairs Committee this morning to testify on her cleanup and DOGE efforts at the agency she heads as White House advisor.

Lake was previously chosen by the President to be the Director of VOA after a new USAGM CEO is confirmed by the Senate, a process that could take years. The President instead appointed Lake to USAGM as a White House Advisor with exclusive powers over the entire agency that oversees several entities, including VOA, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting.

The agency is known for disseminating globalist propaganda worldwide at the taxpayers’ expense. The agency has reportedly also been exposed to foreign spies posing as freelance journalists.

According to a 2024 House Foreign Affairs Committee report, USAGM repeatedly failed “to adequately investigate serious abuses of power and false credentials of employees within USAGM,” creating serious national security concerns.

Lake has said her testimony will “expose the USAGM’s record of waste, mismanagement, self-dealing, and national security failures.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Lake recently announced that she has reduced the workforce at USAGM by 85% since March.

Lake is expected to spar with radical left Democrats on the Committee during the hearing at 10 am ET, titled "Spies, Lies, and Mismanagement: Examining the U.S. Agency for Global Media’s Downfall."

A former CIA Station Chief is asking President Trump to have his DOJ intervene in a trial scheduled for next week where a Venezuelan has information about foreign interference in the 2020 Election.

This is big.

Colonel Conrad Reynolds shared:

My friend Gary Berntsen, a former CIA officer and chief of station, has a plea to @realDonaldTrump. He is asking @POTUS to get the DOJ to intervene in a trial that will take place next week. He’s saying the person going on trial is willing to testify on Venezuela tactics in election manipulation, including 2020, and also supporting Iran in the USA.

Colonel Reynolds also shared on another Berntsen social media post where he discussed the interference from foreign actors in US elections.

My friend Gary is whistleblower with deep connections to DOJ, FBI, DEA, and Homeland Security and he exposes shocking details about foreign involvement in U.S. elections. Allegations suggest foreign regimes, including Venezuela and China, are controlling key election systems. Learn about the claims surrounding election software and foreign manipulation.

Below are both videos from Berntsen.

Emerald Robinson also discussed this upcoming trial on her show today on Lindell TV.

Legendary @CIA officer Gary Bernsten has issued a public video plea to @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, warning that the DOJ is about to lose critical testimony from former Venezuelan intel chief Hugo Carvajal – a man with direct knowledge of global election interference, foreign espionage, and who helped orchestrate it.

Carvajal, who once served under Hugo Chávez, has offered to cooperate, but the @TheJusticeDept is fast-tracking a decade-old drug charge instead.

Bernsten calls on @POTUS to intervene immediately to delay the trial and protect Carvajal, before this crucial witness, and the truth he carries, disappears forever.

Many people believe that there was and is foreign interference in US elections.   President Trump issued an Executive Order in 2018 concerning foreign interference in US elections.

We have reported for some time on foreign interference in US elections.  This is not new.  Recently there were additional reports on China being involved in US elections.

It is not difficult to believe that a man in Venezuela knows about interference in US elections.

Let’s hope President Trump hears our calls and has his DOJ step in before this Venezuelan is locked away for good.

Communist Zohran Mamdani has prevailed against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City’s mayoral race.

As the winner of the Democratic primary, Mamdani will go on to the general election and surely stand a high chance of becoming mayor of the Big Apple.

“Tonight, we made history,” he said during his victory speech. “I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.”

However, he will have to defeat the likes of incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is standing as an independent, as well as Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.

Mamdani is a self-confessed left-wing radical. He has waged a longstanding campaign aimed at defunding the New York Police Department, which he claims are designed to “control black, brown and poor New Yorkers.”

He also believes that defunding the police is essential for the cause of “queer liberation” and the law enforcement are complicit in aiding a “violent, right-wing government” in persecuting minorities.

Among Mamdani’s other bright ideas include the launching of city-owned grocery stores, a policy most notoriously implemented by the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin that wreaked disastrous consequences.

NEW: Two-thirds of NYC voters support creating municipal grocery stores to bring down prices.

“The concept is imminently feasible. In fact, publicly owned grocery stores are quite common and already exist at scale—in the US military.”

The 33-year-old is also heavily invested in Palestinian liberation causes and recently said that he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he traveled to New York City.

He has also used the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” insisting it is a mere call for Palestinian rights rather than a push towards Islamic supremacy.

I’m not a New Yorker, but anyone who can’t condemn globalizing the intifada, especially after PA, DC, and CO, is manifestly unfit for office.

Former Congressman and current OAN host Matt Gaetz was secretly recorded by a fellow airline passenger—who then leaked his private text messages with his mother to the internet.

The footage, which was uploaded by a TikTok user going by the handle tidesofmarch, reveals a private, over-the-shoulder shot of Gaetz texting with his mother, Vicky Gaetz, about everything from family finances to his media strategy regarding President Donald Trump.

In the now-public texts, Gaetz’s mother warns her son not to criticize President Trump, urging him to remember his loyalty to the MAGA movement.

Gaetz’s mom wrote: “Don’t be criticizing the President or his actions. He’s trying to keep us safe. That’s his job. MAGA will turn on you. You will lose viewership. Your days in congress are over, practice of law? Let’s not mess up the media gig. The president has been a very good friend to you. He hates betrayal. Be smart, not stubborn.”

To which Gaetz replied, “I’m trying to guide him, not criticize him.”

He added: “But I’ve never been freer to share my views — and I’ll continue to do so. I think about the people who cheered the Iraq war because they liked Bush. Those people have blood on their hands.”

His mom responded, stating: Don’t guide him in the public square. He has intelligence and briefing that you are not privy to.”

Gaetz responded,” You’d be surprised… Guiding DJT always includes a private and public component. I know how to do it.”

The video also captured Gaetz discussing his financial stability, reassuring his concerned mother that he is thriving: “I’m a happily married man with a son on the way, two penthouse condos, a 1:1 real estate asset to debt ratio. I have $500K in my bank account cash.”

The leaked messages also reveal his views on Iran.

Gaetz wrote:

Iran has been 3 months away from a nuke since 1992. They had surrendered their ICBM program in 2003. They have done no R&D on re-entry capability. These are facts.

…

Iran’s nuclear program posed no threat to the U.S., North Korea actually does.

Gaetz addressed the privacy violation on X:

“Apparently someone sitting behind me on a flight recorded me without my knowledge. They found me texting my mother about news of the day, family finances, and working on my laptop.”

“Please let this be a reminder to everyone to CALL YOUR MOTHER!”
