President Trump is scheduled to make a televised announcement in the Oval Office today.

It is unclear what the President will speak about, but this follows a series of victories in recent days and weeks.

Most notably, on Monday, President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European Leaders to negotiate a peace agreement. This was just two days after his high-stakes meeting with Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.

The President later announced that Putin agreed to meet with Zelensky and later participate in a trilateral meeting with Trump and Zelensky.

”This was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years,” Trump said.

The President also secured a trade deal with the European Union, which was formalized and announced on Thursday. EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic described it as "the most favorable trade deal the U.S. has extended to any partner.” 

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI on Friday morning raided former national security advisor John Bolton's home in a move that could signal incoming action against others such as James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan.

President Trump spent the morning traveling around DC, visiting the People's House gift shop near the White House and the Kennedy Center, where he discussed his efforts to beautify Washington, DC, and took questions.

According to NBC, however, President Trump will speak about the 2026 FIFA World Cup and his plans to host the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in December.

He is still expected to speak about numerous topics, including the John Bolton raid and potential accountability for deep state operatives.

The announcement was scheduled to begin at 12:00 pm ET, but the President was still at the Kennedy Center as of 11:43 am ET, and his Oval Office announcement is expected to be delayed until further notice.

Disgraced warmonger and former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton apparently still has time to rant on social media even as he experiences one of the worst days of his life.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI raided Bolton’s Maryland home in an investigation that FBI Director Kash Patel is leading. They also raided his office in DC.

The investigation is reportedly linked to a classified documents probe years ago, but was later shut down under the Biden administration.

As the raid began, FBI Director Kash Patel took to X and wrote, “NO ONE is above the law.”

While the raid was happening, a tweet appeared on Bolton’s X page. Interestingly, the post did not concern the raid at all but focused on the Ukraine-Russia war.

The tweet was sent at 7:32 AM ET. As TGP readers know, the FBI entered Bolton’s Maryland home about half an hour earlier at 7 A.M ET.

Bolton stated that Russia’s ultimate goal was to make Ukraine entirely a part of Russia and said the peace talks would prove futile. Moreover, he said that Trump would only hold further meetings because he wants the Nobel Peace Prize rather than a sincere desire for an end to the bloodshed.

“Russia has not changed its goal: drag Ukraine into a new Russian Empire. Moscow has demanded that Ukraine cede territory it already holds and the remainder of Donetsk, which it has been unable to conquer,” Bolton wrote. “Zelensky will never do so.”

“Meanwhile, meetings will continue because Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but I don’t see these talks making any progress.”

Even as he potentially faces years in prison, Bolton remains as committed as ever to forever war.

At least one cannot accuse him of abandoning his values, no matter how repulsive they may be.

President Trump on Friday said he will fire embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook if she doesn’t resign.

“Are you going to fire Lisa Cook, the Fed Governor?” a reporter asked President Trump.

“Yeah, I’ll fire her if she doesn’t resign. What she did was bad,” Trump said.

Special Prosecutor Ed Martin is currently investigating Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud and falsifying bank statements.

Ed Martin on Thursday asked Fed Chair Jerome Powell to remove embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her post amid allegations of mortgage fraud.

In a letter to Jerome Powell, Ed Martin encouraged him to remove Lisa Cook from her position amid allegations of mortgage and banking fraud.

“It is a very troubling public interaction relating to her, I think you will agree,” Martin wrote in a letter obtained by CNBC.

“At this time, I encourage you to remove Ms. Cook from your Board,” he wrote. “Do it today before it is too late! After all, no American thinks it is appropriate that she serve during this time with a cloud hanging over her,” Martin wrote.

Martin added, “As we begin any investigation of the conduct like that by Ms. Cook in the referral, I will likely be required for confidentiality purposes to remain silent about our investigations.”

“However, I will answer any questions you have to help you make a timely decision to remove her,” he said.

According to housing regulator Bill Pulte’s criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”

By claiming “primary residence” on her out-of-state condo, Lisa Cook received more favorable loan terms and a lower interest rate.

On June 18, 2021, Cook acquired a loan on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the mortgage agreement, Cook represented to “use the Property as Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days after the execution of her agreement, Pulte said.

On July 2, 2021, just two weeks later, Lisa Cook also purchased a condo in Atlanta and entered a 30-year mortgage agreement and affirmed the property would serve as her primary residence within 60 days of the execution of the mortgage and would serve as her primary residence for a full year, Pulte’s referral said.

According to Pulte, while Cook affirmed her Atlanta property would serve as her primary residence, online records indicate that the property was listed for rent in September 2022.

“While the property was listed for rent in 2022, a review of Ms. Cook’s federal government financial disclosures for calendar years 2022 and 2023 indicate that she has not disclosed any rental income tied to this address,” Pulte wrote in his criminal referral.

Lisa Cook remained defiant on Wednesday and said she will not be bullied into resigning.

“I learned from the media that FHFA Director William Pulte posted on social media that he was making a criminal referral based on a mortgage application from four years ago, before I joined the Federal Reserve,” Lisa Cook said in a statement.

“I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet,” she said. “I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts.”

Disgraced warmonger John Bolton may be in even deeper trouble than previously believed.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI raided the Maryland home of Trump’s former National Security Adviser, John Bolton.

On Friday morning, at 7 a.m., FBI agents raided Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland, home in an investigation that FBI Director Kash Patel is leading.

The investigation is reportedly linked to a classified documents probe years ago, but was later shut down under the Biden administration.

Now, it has been revealed that the FBI has also stormed into Bolton’s DC office. Fox News was on the scene when this occurred.

The anchor covering the scene noted that two agents were seen loading cars with documents.

This did not appear to be quite as big of presence as the one at his Maryland home.

At this point, Bolton has not been charged with any crime.

Earlier this year, Trump revoked Bolton’s security clearance and secret service protection.

It has also been revealed that Bolton had a classified memo in his possession that showed how former CIA Director John Brennan helped manufacture intelligence linking Trump to Vladimir Putin.

Still, he never briefed Trump on the matter.

Guess what he did instead?

He stuck it in a National Security Council safe because he supposedly believed the intel. What a snake.
