For four years following his first term as US President, Democrats coordinated attacks on President Trump hoping to bankrupt the former president and imprison him until his death.

Every single charge was complete garbage and they knew it. They didn’t care. They wanted to destroy President Trump and persecute his supporters. The fact that they were destroying the country was not a concern for these wicked people who worked together to tyrannize former President Trump.

We know this first hand at The Gateway Pundit after several years of brutal attacks by the left in their quest to destroy us.

President Trump and the country survived this very dark period by the grace of God.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world was watching as Democrats crucified President Trump. Today we see similar efforts in Brazil and South Korea to destroy and imprison the innocent opposition candidates.

On Monday South Korea’s pro-China President Lee Jae-myung will meet with President Trump at the White House.

Last week Lee Jae-myung’s regime carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.

On August 20, armed police stormed the office of the Free and Innovation Party, led by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, under the guise of investigating so-called “election law violations,” according to our contact in South Korea, Kim Yu-jin.

On Monday a special prosecutor working for the current pro-Chicom South Korean president, filed an arrest warrant for the former president.

Here is information on the current developments from our sources inside South Korea.

They added this in today’s communication: Mr. Hoft, I believe these details are crucial for your readers. If published, they will show the world how South Korea’s judiciary is being weaponized in a political purge against its former President and senior officials.

1. Arrest Warrant Request for Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo

The special prosecutor filed an arrest warrant on August 24, 2025, against former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on six charges: aiding the ringleader of insurrection, perjury, falsification of official documents, destruction of official documents, violation of the Presidential Records Act, and use of falsified official documents.

The pre-trial detention hearing is scheduled for August 27 at 1:30 PM, presided over by Judge Jung Jae-uk of the Seoul Central District Court. This is the first arrest warrant ever requested against a former Prime Minister in Korean constitutional history.

Critical view: The Prime Minister is a subordinate of the President and has no structural authority to “aid” or “block” martial law. Accusing him of aiding insurrection is therefore a clear case of political purge. The stated grounds for detention—“risk of flight or evidence destruction”—are absurd when applied to a high-profile former Prime Minister, and serve only as a formal pretext to justify detention.

2. Coercive Investigations of Former Justice Minister Park Seong-jae and Former Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung

On August 25, the special prosecutor carried out raids on the residences and offices of Park Seong-jae (former Justice Minister) and Shim Woo-jung (former Prosecutor General), including the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and the Seoul Detention Center.

Article: https://naver.me/5DD8XBfb

The special prosecutor initially requested to seize ten months’ worth of data from Park’s cellphone, but the court limited access to just two days (December 3–4, 2024) immediately following the martial law declaration.

Article: https://naver.me/GXgA7wY7

Critical view:

Park Seong-jae is accused merely because he was one of six ministers convened by President Yoon on the day of martial law, and because he held an internal meeting to “consider dispatching prosecutors” to the Joint Investigation Headquarters. These are routine official duties, being distorted into crimes.

Shim Woo-jung is accused because he did not file an immediate appeal against the court’s March 2025 decision to release President Yoon. Yet filing an appeal is discretionary, not mandatory. Charging him for “not appealing” is an invention of a crime where none exists.

The attempt to seize 10 months of private data demonstrates the prosecutor’s intent to search indiscriminately in order to fabricate charges, rather than investigate real crimes.

3. Judge Jung Jae-uk’s Precedents

Judge Jung Jae-uk of the Seoul Central District Court has repeatedly approved the special prosecutor’s arrest warrants.

He issued warrants for former First Lady Kim Keon-hee (August 13, 2025) and former Interior Minister Lee Sang-min, and now presides over the case of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.

Article (Kim Keon-hee warrant): https://news.nate.com/view/20250813n02019
Article (Han Duck-soo hearing): https://www.chosun.com/national/court_law/2025/08/25/FBBCLC7VKFBF7NE2IGSATCNPUQ/

Critical view: Judge Jung has become effectively a “rubber-stamp judge” for the special prosecutor. Nearly every warrant requested has been granted, showing the judiciary aligning itself with a political prosecution rather than exercising independent judgment.

Core Argument – Accusing the Head of State of “Insurrection”

Insurrection is a crime meant for rebellious forces who rise against state power.

Yet the special prosecutor has redefined it to target the President himself—the head of state vested with constitutional authority to declare martial law.

Labeling the head of state as the “ringleader of insurrection” is a legal contradiction and a paradoxical subversion of constitutional order. It criminalizes the legitimate exercise of constitutional powers and sets a dangerous precedent that would leave any future president unable to defend the nation in an emergency.

—

Conclusion

The special prosecutor is conducting a political purge by branding former President Yoon Suk-yeol and his associates as a “coup faction,” extending to a former Prime Minister, ministers, a Prosecutor General, and even the First Lady.

First-ever arrest warrant against a former Prime Minister.

Normal official acts and discretionary judgments are criminalized.

Courts repeatedly approve the prosecutor’s warrants, endorsing the political narrative.

Above all, accusing the head of state of “insurrection” is a constitutional absurdity and a fabrication that undermines the foundations of democratic governance. It reveals not law, but a coordinated political purge with judicial complicity.

It reads just like the Democrat Party playbook here at home!

By Enrique Tarrio
August 25, 2025

The January 6 prosecutions stand as a stark example of how the justice system was manipulated under the Biden administration to target political adversaries.

For years, I’ve asserted that the charges leveled against me and the “Seditious 5″—Joe Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zach Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola were constructed on a web of distortions, pressure tactics, and outright fabrications. Now, Jeremy Bertino, the cooperating witness whose testimony played a central role in our convictions, has surfaced with a sworn affidavit that, while claiming coercion, ultimately reveals his own complicity in the process. Bertino aligned himself with the very agents and prosecutors who engineered this farce, working hand-in-glove with them to deliver a narrative that suited their agenda.

This isn’t a story of exoneration through heroism, it’s a grim reminder of how individuals can buckle and collaborate with the system, perpetuating injustice even as they later attempt to distance themselves. Despite the profound damage caused by Bertino’s choices, which contributed to my 22-year sentence (pre-pardon) and the lengthy terms imposed on my brothers, I conducted a prerecorded interview with him to probe the facts. I aimed for neutrality in pursuit of clarity, but his revelations only highlight the extent of his involvement with figures like FBI Agent Nicole Miller and prosecutors Jocelyn Ballantine and Jason McCullough.

The full interview airs this Wednesday, but here’s a detailed exploration of the affidavit’s claims, the contradictions in Bertino’s FBI transcripts, and a tease of the most damning moments from our discussion.

The Proud Boys Trial: A Fabricated Narrative from the Start

The trial against the Proud Boys was never about justice, it was a political spectacle designed to vilify Trump supporters and score points in the court of public opinion. I received the longest sentence of any January 6 defendant: 22 years for seditious conspiracy, despite not being present in Washington, D.C., on that day. Biggs was handed 17 years, Nordean 18, Rehl 15, and Pezzola 10. The DOJ’s case hinged on portraying us as masterminds of a plot to disrupt the 2020 election certification, with Bertino’s testimony as the linchpin. He described a supposed “desperation for all-out revolution,” positioning the Proud Boys as the “tip of the spear” in a coordinated effort.

Bertino’s path to the witness stand began with his October 2022 guilty plea to seditious conspiracy charges, making him the first Proud Boy to do so. In exchange for a lighter outcome—his sentence was commuted by President Trump in January 2025—he provided the testimony that sealed our fates. But his affidavit now attempts to rewrite that history, claiming he was “groomed” over a year with over 15 meetings. What it really underscores is Bertino’s active participation in the DOJ’s strategy, collaborating with Miller, Ballantine, and McCullough to mold a story that fit their needs.

Bertino wasn’t just a pawn; he became part of the machinery that ground down innocent men.

The trial was marred by irregularities from the outset. Evidence like the “1776 Returns” document, a purported blueprint for occupying buildings, was paraded as proof of my involvement, even though forensics later confirmed I never viewed, edited, or shared it. Bertino’s affidavit admits he was fed this line by Miller, who allegedly presented it as “damning” evidence I authored. This wasn’t passive acceptance; Bertino went along with it, repeating the falsehoods on the stand. His cooperation didn’t end there, he endured mock cross-exams and script adjustments, all while knowing the facts didn’t align with the charges.

Contradictions in the FBI Transcripts: A Facade of Willingness

The screenshots from Bertino’s FBI proffer sessions in 2022—March 18, June 9, and June 22—offer a window into how the groundwork was laid. These documents list the key players: AUSA Erik Kenerson, Special Agent Nicole Miller, Task Force Officer Catherine Bowles, AUSA Nadia Moore, and others. On the surface, they emphasize a cooperative, pressure-free environment. The March 18 transcript reads: “Everything we’re doing in here today is voluntary… If at any point you want to stop this interview, that’s your call.” Bertino responds affirmatively: “Understood.”

The June 9 session echoes this: “This whole thing is voluntary… If you want us to shut this interview down at any point, that’s fine.” Again, Bertino confirms: “Okay.” And on June 22: “This is still under the protections of the proffer letter… if you want to stop this at any point let us know.” He replies: “Okay.” Miller is prominently featured, even setting the time in one instance: “Currently 1:17 p.m.”

Yet Bertino’s affidavit claims these were part of a coercive “grooming” scheme, with threats of decades in prison if he didn’t “play ball.” If true, it means he concealed this during the sessions themselves, going along with the charade. This isn’t the mark of someone trapped; it’s the behavior of a participant who chose to collaborate, providing the DOJ with the ammunition they needed. His later recantation doesn’t erase that—he was an equal partner in the process alongside Miller and Ballantine, helping to build a case that sent innocent men away for years.

These transcripts also reveal the DOJ’s focus on mindset and interactions, probing Bertino’s recollections of the lead-up to January 6. Kenerson states: “We understand… you don’t have a window into anyone else’s mind… But you did obviously have interactions with folks.” Bertino’s responses at the time show no signs of duress, further highlighting his willingness to engage. Only now, after securing his deal and freedom, does he claim otherwise—timing that raises serious questions about his motives.

Bertino’s Affidavit: Admissions of Collaboration, Not Exoneration

In his August affidavit, Bertino describes a process that began casually—”We’re not gonna charge you”—but escalated to explicit threats: “The weight of the federal government on your shoulders was a pretty big threat.” He accuses Miller of intercepting attorney-client communications and editing CHS reports, tying into the 2023 trial revelations where she was caught hiding over 1,000 messages. Ballantine and McCullough allegedly ran the scripting sessions, using his lawyer as a go-between to refine his story.

Bertino insists there was no real crime: “Absolutely not” to Capitol storming discussions; “HELL no” to an insurrection plan. He claims DOJ knew but prosecuted to “crush political opponents.” But this rings hollow given his active role—he didn’t resist; he complied, repeating the coached lines on the stand. His “regret” comes too late: “Watching them get convicted… broke my heart.” He waited until after Trump’s inauguration to speak, citing fear, but that delay only prolonged the injustice he helped create. Bertino wasn’t coerced into silence; he chose to be part of the team with Miller and Ballantine, delivering testimony that inflicted real harm.

The Interview: Probing the Facts Without Illusion

Sitting down with Bertino wasn’t about reconciliation—his actions caused irreversible damage, aligning him squarely with the agents and prosecutors who orchestrated this. I approached the interview with a neutral intent to extract details, but his responses only confirmed his complicity in the DOJ’s scheme. The full discussion airs Wednesday, unpacking the alleged tactics and his belated admissions. Here’s a tease of two of the most damning excerpts from the transcript:

1. On DOJ Deception and Fabricated Evidence: Bertino acknowledges the lies fed to him: “Nicole Miller brought out the 1776 document and told me that Enrique had wrote it… Come to find out later he didn’t. He had nothing to do with writing it.” He concedes the manipulation: “Of course… it’s the oldest play in the book… make you seem like you set me up.” This exposes how he went along with falsehoods that formed the core of the case against us.

2. Addressing the Seditious 5: Bertino speaks to Biggs, Pezzola, Rehl, and Nordean: “I guess I’d say boys, you know there’s no way that I could ever atone for what I did… you guys didn’t deserve anything that the government did to you… I am sorry truly for having to be part of that… Folding under pressure was something I never thought I would do.” He admits choosing “family and freedom over the truth,” while noting our stand: “Those are some giant fucking balls.” But apologies don’t undo the years lost due to his collaboration.

Calling for Accountability: No Excuses, Just Consequences

Special Agent Nicole Miller’s role demands immediate scrutiny—her handling of evidence, from hidden messages to edited reports, violated basic integrity. Ballantine, as head of the Capitol division, oversaw this mess and remains employed. Bertino’s affidavit doesn’t absolve him; it shows he was their willing accomplice, providing the testimony that locked us up. This isn’t redemption—it’s an after-the-fact confession that changes nothing for those who suffered.

The Seditious 5 were innocent from day one, and Bertino’s words now confirm it: No plan, no conspiracy—just a DOJ bent on persecution. This affidavit should trigger investigations, firings, and full exonerations. #NoJ6Conspiracy #FireNicoleMiller #ProudBoysInnocent

The post Bombshell Confession: J6er Jeremy Bertino’s Affidavit Exposes DOJ Coercion in Proud Boys Case – Enrique Tarrio Teases Interview with the J6 Turncoat Who Helped Feds Send Him to Prison for 22 Yrs appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

A major announcement was made on Friday in Greenville, Texas, at the 1A Film Fest, which was held in the historic Texan Theater.

Since January 20, 2025, this is the best news the J6 community has received. Ashli Babbitt’s mom, Micki Witthoeft came with very special news that the United States Air Force would be reinstating her daughter’s military honors, meaning that she would finally be able to have a military funeral and ceremony.

Ashli was an Air Force veteran, having given 14 years of her life in service to our country. She spent time deployed to Afghanistan, and she also worked at the Pentagon. She was a patriot who loved her country only to have her service stripped away by the corrupt and evil Biden Regime after she was shot and killed on January 6, 2021, inside the Nation’s Capital, by a Capitol Police officer.

She was denied her military honors and did not receive a military funeral, which she had earned and deserved. Micki and Aaron Babbitt, Ashli’s husband, were unable to find a funeral home that would perform any services for this American Hero. Not being able to give her a proper funeral because of the label given to her by the government, they were resigned to scattering her ashes in the sea, with no military service for Ashli.

But now, thanks to President Trump, along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and due to the diligence of their lawyer, Robert Sticht, this injustice is being corrected. Justice for Ashli is no longer a question; it is happening.

Mama Micki, as the J6 community has affectionately named her, asked David Sumrall, emcee of the event, to make the announcement to the crowd, which was followed by a tearful, grateful, standing ovation. It was a big surprise and the high point of the night.

“First, I would like to thank President Trump, and a special thanks to Robert Sticht for working so hard to get this done. We are waiting for a meeting to discuss plans and locations for a service. My hope now is that this will help other J6ers get justice.” -Micki Witthoeft

Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt had her military honors restored by the Trump Administration after having them denied in 2021 following her shooting death by Capitol Hill police officer, Michael Byrd.

Micki Witthoeft, Ashli’s mother, broke the news this past weekend at the First Amendment Film Festival in Texas.

Best news about J6 since J6!

Ashli Babbitt’s military honors have been restored!

Thanks President Trump @POTUS for continuing to fight for our J6ers!

On Monday evening, The Gateway Pundit spoke with Micki Witthoeft about this wonderful news.

Micki told us that she wanted to thank the many supporters for their hard work in making this happen.

Micki especially wanted to thank Attorney Robert Sticht for his exceptional work in making this happen.

“This was a huge win for Ashli and our family,” added Micki.

Ashli’s mother, Micki, moved to Washington DC after her daughter’s death and led the efforts for many years to support the Jan. 6 political prisoners locked up at the DC Gulag. She held a nightly vigil outside the prison to show the men and women they were not forgotten.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham didn’t hold back during her interview with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Monday night.

She took direct aim at President Donald Trump’s shocking announcement that his administration will allow up to 600,000 Chinese students to study at American universities.

President Donald Trump announced a plan to admit up to 600,000 Chinese students into U.S. universities, more than double the current 270,000, during a press briefing on Monday.

Trump pitched the idea as a “strategic move” to strengthen trade leverage with Beijing and prop up financially strapped U.S. universities.

“I hear so many stories that we’re not going to allow their students,” Trump told reporters.

“We’re going to allow their students to come in. It’s very important, 600,000 students. It’s very important. But we’re going to get along with China,” he added.

“But it’s a different relationship that we have now with China. It’s a much relationship economically than it was before with Biden.”

Many blasted the move as a betrayal of the America First agenda, warning that it risks flooding U.S. campuses with individuals loyal to the Chinese Communist Party.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued a fiery statement on X:

“We should not let in 600,000 CHINESE students to attend American colleges and universities that may be loyal to the CCP.

If refusing to allow these Chinese students to attend our schools causes 15% of them to fail then these schools should fail anyways because they are being propped up by the CCP.

Why are we allowing 600,000 students from China to replace our American student’s opportunities?

We should never allow that.

And we need more trade school graduates.

Trade schools are a GREAT alternative and produce the essential education and training for the most needed jobs in America with very high starting pay.”

We should not let in 600,000 CHINESE students to attend American colleges and universities that may be loyal to the CCP.

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer went even further:

“I didn’t vote for more Muslims and Chinese people to be imported to my country. Sorry, but these immigrants from communist countries and Sharia sh*tholes don’t make America great. Please don’t Make America China. MAGA doesn’t want more immigrants.”

I didn’t vote for more Muslims and Chinese people to be imported to my country.

Sorry but these immigrants from communist countries and Sharia shitholes where child rape is legalized don’t make America great.

On The Ingraham Angle, Laura Ingraham grilled Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on national television, cutting straight to the heart of grassroots outrage:

Laura Ingraham:
An issue, Mr. Secretary, for—I think—the base of the Republican Party, and certainly for the Ingraham Angle for many, many years, is this: conservatives have raised concerns about foreign students coming to the United States and taking spots that would normally, obviously, be open to American students. The President addressed this issue as part of the Chinese trade deal, which might be in the offing… Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, how is allowing 600,000 students from the Communist country of China putting America first?

Howard Lutnick:
Well, the President’s point of view is that what would happen if you didn’t have those 600,000 students is that you’d empty them from the top. All the students would go up to better schools, and the bottom 15% of universities and colleges would go out of business in America. So his view is he’s taking a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump looking at higher education and saying, until we modify that.

Laura Ingraham:
But why are you helping Harvard? That just helps Harvard and UCLA and UC Berkeley. You’re all helping those schools. Why? They’re basically factories of anti-American propaganda. Now they’re getting a big influx of cash because of the Chinese students. I know President Trump has always been very pro-Chinese student. I just don’t understand it. For the life of me, those are 600,000 spots that American kids won’t get.

WATCH:

Ingraham: “How is allowing 600K students from China putting America First? Those are 600K spots that American kids won’t get.”

UNREAL- British pub owner refuses entry to people wearing the flag of their country

An unprecedented incident shook daily life in England when a British pub refused entry to customers carrying their own country’s flag. What might seem trivial has become a focus of debate about national identity, freedom of expression, and the growing imposition of arbitrary rules by certain local administrations. Witnesses and affected patrons reported that the ban is clear and direct: carrying the English flag in a pub located in England may result in being denied service, regardless of whether the visitors’ intent is simply
