Starmer Pressured Foreign Office Into Granting Security Clearance for Epstein-Linked Peter Mandelson, His Chief of Staff Ordered: ‘Just F***ing Approve It!’ (VIDEOS)
April 21, 2026

The more Starmer explains, the worse his situation becomes.

In his almost two years of premiership, Starmer has been a political survivor of endless crises – but at this point, in the words of British journalist Gordon Rayner, ‘his full-time job now is clinging to power’.

Right out of the gate, Sir Keir got mixed up in the ‘Freebiegate’, having accepted large amounts of undeclared or high-value gifts, clothes, glasses, and concert/sports tickets totaling over £100,000.

Then he cut the winter fuel allowance for pensioners while freeing thousands of prisoners from jail.

His deputy PM Angela Rayner resigned over a tax scandal, while his chief of staff Sue Gray resigned amid (lack of) impartiality concerns.

Mandelson and Starmer: will this be the final straw?

Starmer was accused of cronyism and favoritism over donor appointments to senior civil service roles.

Starmer failed miserably in stopping the migrant boats, even though he kept paying the French millions to help.

He kept the military in a total state of disrepair, with the Royal Navy a mere shadow of its former self.

He is called ‘U-Turn’ Starmer for reversing his own decisions at an absurd rate.

But the scandal that won’t go away is his appointment of Jeffrey Epstein’s close ‘pal’ Lord Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador.

After Mandelson fell in disgrace over his correspondence with Epstein revealed in the US DOJ-released documents, Starmer has been trying to shake the scandal off, but hasn’t been able to.

He refused to resign and told Parliament that the Foreign Office was to blame for not telling him that Mandelson had, in fact, flunked the vetting process.

But today, the ‘scapegoated’ Sir Olly Robbins, former top civil servant of the Foreign Office, had a very different story to tell, in which the Prime Minister’s team exerted ‘constant pressure’ to clear Lord Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the United States.

The Telegraph reported:

“The former top civil servant at the Foreign Office said there had been an “atmosphere of constant chasing” for Lord Mandelson’s vetting clearance.

He told the foreign affairs committee: ‘I think throughout January, honestly, my office, the Foreign Secretary’s office, were under constant pressure’.”

“He said Downing Street had repeatedly asked ‘has this been delivered yet?’, adding: ‘[There was] never any interest, as far as I recall, in whether, but only an interest in when’.

Morgan McSweeney, the Prime Minister’s former chief of staff, reportedly ordered the Foreign Office to ‘just f—ing approve’ the appointment, Dame Emily Thornberry told the hearing.”

BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group Releases Undercover Video of US Nuclear Scientist Leaking Sensitive National Security Information to Stranger – Update: Escorted Out of Pentagon
April 21, 2026

Andrew Hugg, Branch Chief of Nuclear and Chemical Surety at the U.S. Department of the Army, discusses collateral damage in a candid conversation.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover footage of a top nuclear chief leaking sensitive national security information to a stranger.

Andrew Hugg, a Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety disclosed sensitive information to a date in a public restaurant.

Hugg told an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist that the US still possesses nerve agents and a US Army chemist recently died from exposure.

Andrew Hugg also confirmed that Ukrainians have taken US taxpayer and used it to buy mansions.

At one point, Hugg asked the OMG journalist, “You’re not a spy, right? Your eyes have mesmerized me so much…Almost like you’re an intelligence.”

“The easiest way to get intelligence…send a pretty girl, talk to the guy…I have to resist your eyes,” he said.

Per the O’Keefe Media Group:

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information.

He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.

He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.

Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: “We’re not going to nuke anybody.”

All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official’s judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors.

WATCH:

Update: Hugg was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday and placed on administrative leave amid an investigation.

Declassified National Intelligence Memorandum Shows US Adversaries Had Capability to Compromise US Election Infrastructure and Much More

Declassified National Intelligence Memorandum Shows US Adversaries Had Capability to Compromise US Election Infrastructure and Much More

Declassified National Intelligence Memorandum Shows US Adversaries Had Capability to Compromise US Election Infrastructure and Much More
April 21, 2026

Voting machine displaying an official ballot with candidates, alongside a confidential election report marked as declassified.

A newly declassified National Intelligence Council (NIC) memo titled “Vulnerabilities in U.S. 2020 Election Infrastructure” from January 15, 2020, was published by Just The News.  The memo was declassified by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on March 16, 2026.

The concerns raised by the NIC were enough to warrant officials briefing President Trump in February 2020, a month after the report was released, according to reporting from Just the News.

The “Key Takeaway” from the memo states, “We assess that at least Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have the capability to access and potentially manipulate data in U.S. election-related computer systems,” while acknowledging they were not aware of any “specific plans” to do so.

The report also acknowledges “nonstate groups” as having the capability to gain access to the critical infrastructure.

Chris Krebs, who was the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the time, infamously testified before Congress on November 12, 2020, that the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history”.  This was a joint statement from the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) and the Sector Coordinating Council (SCC).

The GCC is made of key representatives of federal agencies and local election officials, but also includes non-governmental organizations such as the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED).

The SCC is made up of private sector counterparts such as Dominion Voting (now LibertyVote), Hart InterCivic, Democracy Works, ES&S, and ERIC.

NIC Report’s Findings

The memorandum includes several different segments of election infrastructure that are vulnerable to attack, including voter registration databases, pollbooks, and voting machines.

The memorandum notes that voter registration databases exist on “Internet-connected systems designed for easy access” because the records are continuously updated.  It notes that “adversaries could alter data to potentially prevent individual voters or groups of voters from voting” or “cause delays on election day.”

As John Solomon of Just the News reported, Iran and China both gained access to voter registration databases.  Iranian hackers were indicted for the breach in November 2021 while declassified documents showed Beijing’s penetration in March 2026.

The memo also notes the vulnerabilities with pollbooks, which many e-pollbooks also connect to the internet.  It notes that these “would be able to easily exploit to manipulate data.”  The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported on Dallas County ExpressPoll poll pads incrementing voters on their own as polls were closing during the November 2022 elections.  It then happened yet again in November 2023.

Among numerous other instances of pollbook discrepancies, The Gateway Pundit also reported on issues with pollbooks in Virginia’s Prince William County during the 2022 election.  This was now-Governor Abigail Spanberger’s election.

The January 2020 memo noted that centralized data repositories are the most vulnerable:

“We assess that adversaries could most easily exploit centralized election-related data repositories because of their ease of access and comparative lack of security.  These systems, which are used to collect, update, and store voter information, are designed for regular access, commonly through web portals, which make them vulnerable to a range of malicious cyber activities.”

“Vote-Administering Systems” were noted as “vulnerable to localized exploitation” in the memo, noting that “hackers have repeatedly demonstrated that some voting machines are easy to compromise.”

“Direct recording electronic machines, which record and process votes digitally and store tabulation data in removable memory, are particularly vulnerable to cyber operations, especially machines with no paper backup.  Such machines, however, are used far less than other, more secure types of voting machines.”

While the “auditable paper trail” is always mentioned as a safeguard against election fraud, most jurisdictions have restricted any public oversight to digital ballot images, not the physical paper.  Fulton County, Georgia, for example, has fought since 2021 to prevent any public examination of the physical paper ballots until the FBI seized them in early 2026.

The memo continued:

“Adversaries who obtained physical access to voting machines could alter how they function, manipulate the data in them, or install malware, according to U.S. state and academic investigations.  At the 2019 DefCon cybersecurity conference, hackers demonstrated the ability to compromise more than 100 voting machines, all of which had been certified for use in at least one U.S. voting jurisdiction.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on July 2022 testimony in Lake v. Hobbs from Clay Parikh, a former Voting Systems Test Lab contractor for Pro V&V, who testified he could hack into the systems in “five to ten minutes” with a record time of two minutes.  He also testified that he was forbidden from “going further” into the system, where he could “manipulate the statistical data on the system.”

The memo also states that, “Voting machines configured at a central location are vulnerable to insider threats.  Malware introduced into the voting machines during this phase might affect multiple jurisdictions, but also would be detectable during the pre-election testing.”

The report includes many other concerns regarding the election infrastructure in the United States, highlighting vulnerabilities that should shake every American to the core.

As John Solomon said in the above interview, “This is not the most explosive stuff that Tulsi Gabbard holds in her hands.”  Stay tuned.

Leakers Sabotaging Supreme Court AGAIN: Internal Memos Exposing Conservative Push to Block Obama’s Climate Power Grab Leaked to NYT

Leakers Sabotaging Supreme Court AGAIN: Internal Memos Exposing Conservative Push to Block Obama’s Climate Power Grab Leaked to NYT
April 21, 2026

The Supreme Court of the United States, 2024

In yet another brazen breach of the Supreme Court’s confidentiality, internal memos from a pivotal 2016 battle over former President Barack Obama’s controversial Clean Power Plan have been leaked to The New York Times.

The documents, which were never meant to see the light of day for decades, detail a five-day flurry of confidential exchanges among the justices that ultimately led to a 5-4 emergency order blocking Obama’s signature climate regulation.

Chief Justice John Roberts and other conservatives argued the plan would cause “substantial and irreversible” harm to the power sector if allowed to take effect before full review.

Leaks at the high court have become disturbingly frequent, and they almost always seem to be targeting the conservative justices.

The leaked papers show the court grappling with whether to issue an unprecedented stay on the Clean Power Plan, Obama’s aggressive EPA rule aimed at slashing carbon emissions from power plants by 32% by 2030.

Conservative justices emphasized the immediate economic damage the regulation would inflict on utilities and states.

In one memo, Roberts warned, “Absent a stay, the Clean Power Plan will cause (and is causing) substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector before this court has an opportunity to review its legality.”

Liberal justices pushed back, but the court ultimately sided 5-4 to block the plan, a decision many legal experts now view as the birthplace of the modern “shadow docket,” the fast-track process the Court has increasingly used for emergency rulings on major issues.

WATCH:

This is far from the first time the Supreme Court has been hit by damaging leaks.

The leak of the 2022 Dobbs draft opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade, remains unsolved despite an internal investigation.

It is time to identify the leakers, fire them immediately, and impose real consequences for their acts of sabotage.

Fox News reports:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, has been among the most vocal dissenters in emergency cases during President Donald Trump’s second term as the president frequently benefits from the fast-paced docket. Jackson is sometimes joined by her two liberal colleagues, Kagan and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissents, and emergency cases have often split 6-3 in favor of Trump.

Last week, Jackson aired her grievances in a different forum, blasting emergency docket decisions during a Yale Law School speech as rushed, “scratch-paper musings” that undermine the high court’s purpose.

“Given the real world facts that a stay request asks the court to consider, the court’s stay decisions can, at times, come across utterly irrational,” Jackson said. “We cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we consistently greenlight harmful acts.”

The Supreme Court has not yet issued an official statement on the latest leak.

Chief Justice Roberts previously called a prior breach “absolutely appalling” and an “egregious breach of trust,” but no leaker has ever been publicly identified or punished.

The Gateway Pundit will continue monitoring for any official response from the Court or new developments in the investigation.

Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) was left red-faced today after trying to humiliate Trump’s Federal Reserve nominee with a gotcha question because he had some humor she was not ready for.

As CNBC reported, the Senate Banking Committee is holding a confirmation hearing for 56-year-old former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh.

Democrats are peppering him to with questions on issues from his views on monetary policy, his personal finances, and his ties to the Trump White House.

Warsh would become the wealthiest Fed chair if confirmed.

Warren decided to try to pit Warsh against President Trump by asking him a silly gotcha question: what is one thing you disagree with the president on?

Warsh, though, refused to take Warren’s bait. He calmly responded that the the Federal Reserve has wandered outside its purview in recent years and he would not do so.

After, the role of the chair is to remain independent of the president.

Warren decided to try again with the same gotcha question and Warsh delivered an awesome response that will no doubt have Trump cracking up.

He said that he totally ‘disagreed’ when Trump told him this morning he looked ‘straight out of central casting.’ Warsh said that for that to be true he would “look older, greyer and show up with a cigar of sorts.”

Pocahontas, of course, was unamused at his reply.

WATCH:

WARREN: Name one aspect of Trump’s economic agenda with which you disagree.

WARSH: Well Senator, the Federal Reserve has wandered outside its (purview)…That’s not something I’m prepared to do.

WARREN: Just one aspect…Just one little place you disagree with Donald Trump on.

WARSH: I do have a disagreement, actually, with the president. This morning, he said that I was out of central casting. (If that were true) I’d look older, greyer and show up with a cigar of sorts.

WARREN (scoffing): Quite adorable.
