Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, admitted Saturday to having an extramarital affair during his first marriage. The admission comes after the Daily Mail reported that Emhoff and his ex-wife, Kerstin Emhoff, separated after Doug got the nanny of the couple’s daughter pregnant.

“During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions,” Emhoff said in a statement to CNN on Saturday. “I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side.”

Emhoff and his first wife were married from 1992 to 2009. The couple have two children together, Cole, 29 and Ella, 25, who they co-parent along with Harris.

According to the report from the Daily Mail, the nanny, Najen Naylor, did not deny the report when asked for comment. In addition to being the couple’s nanny, Taylor was a teacher at Emhoff’s school.

A “close friend with knowledge of the pregnancy” told the outlet that Naylor did not keep the child.

Emhoff and his wife Kerstin separated in 2009 after the affair was discovered. Sources told the Daily Mail that Mayor had to leave her job as a teacher at The Willows, an elite private elementary school in Culver City, California. She had been teaching the Emhoff children and moonlighting as a nanny for the couple.

It is unclear what happened to the baby, or whether Emhoff had any involvement in the baby’s life.

Harris and Emhoff met in 2013, while Harris was serving as attorney general in California, and were married a year later. Harris knew about the affair before the marriage, and the Biden Campaign was became aware of it during the vetting process in 2020.

“Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago,” Kerstin Emhoff said in a statement to CNN. “He is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend to me and I am really proud of the warm and supportive blended family Doug, Kamala and I have built together.

Trump supporters in Florida’s The Villages assembled in golf carts over the weekend in order to send a message to a group of Kamala Harris supporters who organized a golf cart rally of their own earlier this week.

Despite the fact that large swaths of Florida were under weather advisories due to an approaching tropical storm, turnout for the rally was reportedly massive. “There are around 1,000 carts here right now and the mood is electric,” Valerie Jamieson, co-president of The Villages MAGA Club, told local outlet Gulf Live just ahead of the parade’s 1 p.m. start time.

Footage shows hundreds of golf carts decked out in American flags and Trump gear assembled as far as the eye can see ahead of the rally. Some carts displayed signs reading “Kamala, You’re Fired” and “Make America Great Again” while others played patriotic music.

U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) was also spotted amongst the crowd.

Last weekend, a much smaller group of Kamala Harris supporters gathered in the retirement community for a rally of their own. The event, titled “Cat Ladies For Kamala,” drew a few dozen  Harris supporters in the predominantly conservative community.

“Young people are energized and so are we,” said Villages resident Joyce Wiegand. “I’m really glad she does appeal to young people, because they’ve been marginalized in voting for years,” added Karen Wink, another Harris rally goer.

Gulf Live noted that 70 percent of registered voters in Sumter County, of which a portion of The Villages is located in, vote Republican. Trump visited the retirement community twice, becoming the first sitting president to do so.

Chelsea Clinton is reportedly eyeing a prestigious ambassadorship if Kamala Harris is elected president, according to a report from the New York Post.

“Chelsea really wants to be the ambassador to the UK,” a source close to the Clinton family told the outlet. “There’s a reason why Bill and Hillary came out in the first five minutes to support Kamala’s presidential bid — they were currying favor.”

While multiple Democratic Party and Biden family sources have hinted at dysfunction within party leadership, Bill and Hillary Clinton were indeed among the most prominent Democrats to immediately endorse Harris. The  source further told the New York Post that the Clintons have been “working on this idea for a long time.”

VOTE NOW: Are You In Favor Of Term Limits For All Members Of Congress?

Ambassadorships to key allies like the U.K. Or France are generally reserved for top political allies and donors. In 2022, President Biden appointed Jane Hartley, a Democratic Party megadonor who solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations for Biden’s election campaign, to the U.K. ambassador position.

Hartley is known as a “bundler,” meaning that she has solicited and coordinated over $100,000 in contributions to the party from groups of donors.

During his White House campaign, Biden vowed to end the practice of rewarding prestigious ambassadorships to wealthy donors. “I’m going to appoint the best people possible,” he said. “Nobody, in fact, will be appointed by me based on anything they contributed.”

Despite the pledge, more than 1/3 of President Biden’s picks were former “bundles,” according to a report from the New York Post.

The Clinton Family will be hoping to continue the trend, according to the family source. Chelsea Clinton, who currently works as vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, would also be interested in the French ambassadorship.

“I can well imagine that the UK ambassadorship is an aspiration for Chelsea, although she is a bit junior still — and London usually goes to a massive donor or fundraiser,” a longtime British embassy official told the New York Post.

Another source close to the family also stated that Chelsea, 44, has long had her eye on a prestigious diplomatic post.

“Foreign countries love high-profile people as ambassadors because it brings them more attention,” the second source said. “They would rather have someone more famous and less rich.”

Chelsea Clinton does have her fair share of connections to the United Kingdom. Like her father, she attended the prestigious Oxford University for both her undergraduate and doctorate degrees.

“She is 44 and has a long-held ambition for this. It’s important for her to have her own legacy,” the person in the know said. “She has always wanted to spend more time abroad, much like Caroline Kennedy” — who is the current ambassador to Australia and was ambassador to Japan under Obama.

The second source did throw cold water on the notion that the Clintons endorsed Harris with the goal of securing the gig for Chelsea, however. “Among stupid things said by clueless people, that’s pretty high up there,” they said.

President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is set to be sentenced on November 13 after a jury convicted him of federal firearms charges earlier this year.

In June, a jury found Hunter Biden guilty on charges related to his purchase and possession of a firearm while he was addicted to crack cocaine. Biden lied about his drug use on a federal form when he sought to purchase a firearm and was initially slated to accept a generous plea deal that would have seen him avoid jail time, though the deal was axed by a federal judge.

(BREAKING: This Is The Handshake That Will Collapse The Western Economy)

Special Counsel David Weiss later refilled charges not long after he was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

In September, the president’s son was indicted on three felony gun charges after the plea deal fell through. He was accused of buying and having a gun, a Colt Cobra 38SPL, for 11 days in October 2018 when he was using crack cocaine.

Hunter lied on a federal form about his drug use when he bought the weapon. Federal law bars illegal drug users from having guns.

Over the course of a six-day trial, jurors heard testimony from Hunter Biden’s ex-wife; an ex-girlfriend, Hallie Biden, widow of his late brother Beau, as well as his daughter Naomi.

As a result of his conviction, Hunter now faces up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. He is a first time offender, though he has also pleaded not guilty to a number of tax-related charges filed by Weiss in California federal court.

Hunter Biden will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who has overseen the case. Sentencing proceedings will take place just eight days after the presidential election.

In December, Hunter was indicted on six misdemeanor counts and three felony counts for tax-related crimes. He has pleaded not guilty and is set to go to trial in the case on September 5.

Vice President Kamala Harris is refusing to debate former President Donald Trump after he agreed to a September 4 debate hosted by Fox News. Instead of agreeing to Trump’s terms, Harris is insisting on a September 10 debate hosted by ABC News, a date that was agreed to by President Biden, who has since exited the race.

“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10,” Harris Campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement on Saturday.

(FREE RED HAT: “Impeached. Arrested. Convicted. Shot. Still Standing”)

“The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience. We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”

In a Truth Social post released Friday evening, Trump responded to claims that he is ducking from a debate with Harris by agreeing to a debate. The Harris Campaign had been claiming that Trump was afraid to debate and was looking for a way out over the last several days.

“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” the former president wrote. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”

Trump is currently suing ABC’s George Stephanopoulos for defamation over false statements he made regarding the E. Jean Carroll case.

“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined,” Trump continued. “The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

Trump’s proposal features one notable difference from his June debate with President Biden, which was not conduced in front of a live audience. The former president did add that his proposal would follow the same procedures as June’s CNN debate, which included a feature that muted each candidate’s microphone when the other was speaking.

The Republican nominee had previously indicated that he would not debate Harris until she had officially secured the nod, pointing to the Democratic Party’s unprecedented move to oust President Biden last month.

As of Friday, Harris has officially secured the nomination after party delegates approved it in a backroom “roll call,” however.

“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” the former president wrote. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”

Trump is currently suing ABC’s George Stephanopoulos for defamation over false statements he made regarding the E. Jean Carroll case.

“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined,” Trump continued. “The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

Trump’s proposal features one notable difference from his June debate with President Biden, which was not conduced in front of a live audience. The former president did add that his proposal would follow the same procedures as June’s CNN debate, which included a feature that muted each candidate’s microphone when the other was speaking.

The Republican nominee had previously indicated that he would not debate Harris until she had officially secured the nod, pointing to the Democratic Party’s unprecedented move to oust President Biden last month.

As of Friday, Harris has officially secured the nomination after party delegates approved it in a backroom “roll call,” however.

, Vice President Kamala Harris is refusing to debate former President Donald Trump after he agreed to a September 4 debate hosted by Fox News. Instead of agreeing to Trump’s terms, Harris is insisting on a September 10 debate hosted by ABC News, a date that was agreed to by President Biden, who has since exited the race. “Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10,” Harris Campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement on Saturday. (FREE RED HAT: “Impeached. Arrested. Convicted. Shot. Still Standing”) “The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.

Former President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social that he has agreed to a debate with Vice President Kamala in September. The announcement comes as the Harris Campaign has been accusing Trump of running from a debate, even though he has repeatedly agreed.

In a Truth Social post, Trump  wrote that he agreed to debate Harris on September 4. The debate will be hosted by Fox News, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as moderators.

“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” the former president wrote. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.”

“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined,” Trump continued. “The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

Harris has been attempting to stick with the schedule agreed to by both Trump and President Biden earlier this year. The two candidates had agreed to a September 10 debate hosted by ABC News, though Trump has told Harris that she would have to negotiate a new date as the previous event was scheduled by President Biden. In response, the Harris Campaign has accused Trump of looking for a way out.

As of early Saturday morning, it is unclear whether Vice President Harris will agree to Trump’s terms. Her campaign has not yet issued a comment on the matter, nor have representatives for Fox News.

If agreed to, the new debate will take place in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. Trump is also pushing for a live audience, a deviation from the first debate between he and President Biden, which was filmed inside CNN’s Atlanta studios.

The former president did add that the new event would follow much of the same format as the CNN debate, which included a notable feature that muted each candidate’s microphone when the other was speaking.

The September 4 date falls just ahead of the start of early voting in the Keystone State and would come after Harris had formally received the Democratic nomination for president. Trump has been adamant about scheduling a post-convention debate in case Democrats again wish to select a new candidate and ignore their primary voters.

As of Friday, Harris has all but officially secured the nod, however, as party delegates solidified her nomination in a backroom “roll call.”

Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance wasted no time in neutralizing a race-baiting question from a CNN reporter before turning it back around on Vice President Kamala Harris’ embrace of divisive identity and race-based politics.

On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump attended the National Association of Black Journalists convention and was immediately assailed by biased reporters. ABC’s Rachel Scott suggested — without evidence — that former President Trump was an irredeemable racist by quoting a number of the former president’s critiques of far-left prosecutors such as Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis. Scott did not point to a single instance of Trump talking about race when asking the question.

(FREE RED HAT: “Impeached. Arrested. Convicted. Shot. Still Standing”)

“I think it’s a very nasty question,” Trump responded.  “For you to start off a question and answer period especially when you’re 35 minutes late … in such a hostile manner, I think it’s a disgrace.”

Trump went on to point to Vice President Harris’ frequent embrace of either black or Indian heritage depending on before whom she is speaking.

While Senator Vance was visiting the southern border on Thursday, he was asked about the exchange by a CNN reporter. “As a father of three biracial children, do those comments give you pause at all? ” asked CNN’s Steve Contorno.

“They don’t give me pause at all. Look, all he said is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to Georgia two days ago. She was raised in Canada, she puts on a fake southern accent,” Vance replied without hesitation. “She is everything to everybody and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she’s in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out and that’s all he did.”

Vance then redirected the question to the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration record.

“I mean look, she’s running as a tough-on-crime prosecutor even though she implemented open border policy. She’s saying that she wants to support the police, yet she wanted to defund the police just three years ago. It’s totally reasonable to call out the fact that she pretends to be somebody different depending on the audience she’s talking to.”

, Attorneys General in multiple states are investigating the leading Democratic political action committee, ActBlue, after several investigative journalists reported on allegations of fraud and money laundering. Investigative researcher Parker Thayer, who works with the Capital Research Center, shared a screenshot showing tens-of-thousands of donations allegedly sent by the same Michigan individual. “A single donor in the small town of Monroe has supposedly donated over 20,000 times since 2019, totaling >$40,000,” Thayer wrote. “They live in a 1,000 sqft house built in 1956.” Another donor in Brighton, Michigan has made more than 2,500 donations since October 2023. That individual’s address was listed as a retirement home. CAST YOUR VOTE: Should Voter ID Be Mandatory In The 2024 Election? “There are dozens more donors like the examples above, and there are two explanations,” Thayer wrote. “1. [ActBlue] is preying on seniors with poor memory by repeatedly sending them requests to sign up for stacking monthly contributions. 2. Some sort of straw-donor scheme is happening.” O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe has also reported on a number of instances of alleged fraud generally targeted at senior citizens. In March, O’Keefe traveled to Maryland and spoke with residents whose names and addresses were linked to tens-of-thousands in donations to ActBlue and other left-wing organizations or political candidates. Almost all residents said that they had donated to ActBlue and other campaigns, though all denied making large contributions. Federal Election Commission data analyzed by Election Watch, a citizen journalist group, revealed that hundreds of senior citizens across the nation had been making hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of individual donations to ActBlue and other campaigns. One senior citizen had made 1,009 individual donations for a total of $18,849.77 since 2022. While she did say that she had made donations to ActBlue and Joe Biden’s election campaign, she vehemently denied having donated more than $18,000 and was shocked by the news. A citizen journalist in New Jersey recently uncovered additional evidence of pointing to alleged campaign finance fraud targeting senior citizens in New Jersey. One elderly woman began sobbing after being informed that over $86,000 had been donated to left-wing political campaigns in her name. “86-thousand-dollars? Oh my, that’s…I… I did that?” the distraught senior citizen said. Over 5,300 individual donations had been made in her name over the course of two years. The donations ranged from just one dollar, all the way up to $5,000. In response to the flood of allegations, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey vowed to investigate. “My team is looking into the disturbing allegations surrounding ActBlue,” Bailey wrote in an X post on Wednesday. “More to come.” Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has stated that he is aware of the allegations and will be taking action. “My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it,” he said. In Wyoming, Secretary of State Chuck Gray announced that his office will also be opening an investigation. “In the wake of nationwide money laundering and identity theft allegations against Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue, Secretary of State Chuck Gray announced an investigation into ActBlue Wyoming, a political action committee registered with the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office. ActBlue has been accused of stealing peoples’ identities to conceal illegal donations, such as donations from foreign actors. As the chief election officer for the State of Wyoming, Secretary Gray is tasked with ensuring the integrity of Wyoming elections,” Gray wrote in a press release. “The widespread allegations against ActBlue are deeply troubling, and we must ensure that political action committees are following the Wyoming Election Code,” Secretary Gray said in a statement. “Claiming that a person donated to a PAC if that person never donated to that PAC would be a felony under Wyoming law. I am very concerned, and remain committed to a thorough review of contributions to ensure compliance with Wyoming law.” ( STAY INFORMED!

A whistleblower told U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) that Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe personally directed cuts to the Counter Surveillance Division (CSD), which hindered the threat assessment team’s ability to properly perform its routine tasks ahead of former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The senator’s report comes just days after Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate testified before Congress concerning the state of their investigation into the attempt on the former president’s life.

According to the whistleblower, the Secret Service CSD, which performs threat assessment of event sites before the event occurs, did not conduct its evaluation ahead of the July 13 rally.

“This is significant because CSD’s duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter and mitigating those threats during the event,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Rowe on Thursday. 

In addition, the whistleblower stated that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks would have been “handcuffed in the parking lot” had the CSD team bean allowed to perform its routine duties.

“The whistleblower claims that if personnel from CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder,” Hawley wrote to Rowe. “You acknowledged in your Senate testimony that the American Glass Research complex should have been included in the security perimeter for the Butler event.”

“The whistleblower alleges that because CSD was not present in Butler, this manifest shortcoming was never properly flagged or mitigated,” he said.

Hawley’s office further revealed details on Rose’s alleged personal involvement in the decision-making.

“The whistleblower further alleges that you personally directed significant cuts to CSD, up to and including reducing the division’s manpower by twenty percent,” Hawley said. “You did not mention this in your Senate testimony when asked directly to explain manpower reductions.”

The whistleblower also claimed that agents who raised concerns were targeted for retaliation.

“The whistleblower also alleges retaliation against those within the Secret Service who expressed concern about the security at President Trump’s events,” Hawley said. “The whistleblower claims that following an event with the former President at a golf tournament in August of last year, Secret Service personnel present expressed serious concern that the Secret Service’s use of local law enforcement was not adequate for security needs: local law enforcement were not properly trained for the event or otherwise prepared to execute the tasks given them.”

“Further, Secret Service personnel expressed alarm that individuals were admitted to the event without vetting,” the letter continued. “The whistleblower alleges that those who raised such concerns were retaliated against.”

In a statement to Fox News, the Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said that they will respond to Hawley’s requests.

“We respect the Senator and the role of oversight and will respond to the request through official channels,” Guglielmi said.

It was initially reported that Crooks had purchased a ladder in order to climb onto the roof, though investigators now believe that he climbed an air-conditioning unit to gain roof access. The gunman is also believed to have hidden his AR-15 rifle — which belonged to his father — behind the AC unit.

Instead of being on the roof, law enforcement personnel were instead placed inside the AGR building. Crooks managed to climb onto the roof — located roughly 130 yards away from the former president’s podium — with the teams inside the building.

Security personnel did take notice of Crooks at least 90 minutes before the shooting, as he was seen lurking around the grounds. One officer snapped a picture of him before he slinked away before eventually returning.

According to the whistleblower, the Secret Service CSD, which performs threat assessment of event sites before the event occurs, did not conduct its evaluation ahead of the July 13 rally. “This is significant because CSD’s duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter and mitigating those threats during the event,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Rowe on Thursday.  In addition, the whistleblower stated that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks would have been “handcuffed in the parking lot” had the CSD team bean allowed to perform its routine duties. “The whistleblower claims that if personnel from CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder,” Hawley wrote to Rowe. “You acknowledged in your Senate testimony that the American Glass Research complex should have been included in the security perimeter for the Butler event.” “The whistleblower alleges that because CSD was not present in Butler, this manifest shortcoming was never properly flagged or mitigated,” he said. Hawley’s office further revealed details on Rose’s alleged personal involvement in the decision-making. “The whistleblower further alleges that you personally directed significant cuts to CSD, up to and including reducing the division’s manpower by twenty percent,” Hawley said. “You did not mention this in your Senate testimony when asked directly to explain manpower reductions.” The whistleblower also claimed that agents who raised concerns were targeted for retaliation. “The whistleblower also alleges retaliation against those within the Secret Service who expressed concern about the security at President Trump’s events,” Hawley said. “The whistleblower claims that following an event with the former President at a golf tournament in August of last year, Secret Service personnel present expressed serious concern that the Secret Service’s use of local law enforcement was not adequate for security needs: local law enforcement were not properly trained for the event or otherwise prepared to execute the tasks given them.” “Further, Secret Service personnel expressed alarm that individuals were admitted to the event without vetting,” the letter continued. “The whistleblower alleges that those who raised such concerns were retaliated against.” In a statement to Fox News, the Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said that they will respond to Hawley’s requests. “We respect the Senator and the role of oversight and will respond to the request through official channels,” Guglielmi said. It was initially reported that Crooks had purchased a ladder in order to climb onto the roof, though investigators now believe that he climbed an air-conditioning unit to gain roof access. The gunman is also believed to have hidden his AR-15 rifle — which belonged to his father — behind the AC unit. Instead of being on the roof, law enforcement personnel were instead placed inside the AGR building. Crooks managed to climb onto the roof — located roughly 130 yards away from the former president’s podium — with the teams inside the building. Security personnel did take notice of Crooks at least 90 minutes before the shooting, as he was seen lurking around the grounds. One officer snapped a picture of him before he slinked away before eventually returning., , , https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/President_Trump_and_Mrs._Trump_Arrive_in_Ohio_48482552276.jpg, Trending Politics Conservative News and Commentary, , https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/cropped-Trending-Politics-ILMF-Logo-Heart-bubble-32×32.jpg, https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/feed/, Cullen McCue,

The CEO of Gab, a social media site and Twitter alternative, is disputing claims from the FBI that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks expressed “antisemitic” and “anti immigration” views on the platform. Gab CEO Andrew Torba is instead reporting that Crooks shared pro-immigration and anti-Trump content on the platform.

On Tuesday, Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate testified before Congress alongside acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe. During the hearing, Abbate explained to Senators that the FBI has discovered two different social media accounts that they believe may belong to Crooks. According to the FBI, one account shared “antisemitic” topics and thoughts, though a second account on Gab shared “differing points of view.”

“While the investigative team is still working to verify this account to determine if it did in fact belong to the shooter, we believe it important to share and note it today, particularly given the general absence of other information to date from social media and other sources of information that reflect on the shooter’s potential motive and mindset,” Abbate told lawmakers.

Torba — who had previously reported that the FBI had alerted the company about an account possibly owned by Crooks and asked the company to preserve data relating to it — responded to Abbate’s testimony in an X post on Tuesday.

“This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (‘EDR’) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account ‘EpicMicrowave’ which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks,” Torba wrote in response to Abbate’s testimony.

Torba then posted a portion of the FBI’s request, with some sections left redacted out of respect for the sensitivity of the investigation.

In one post from the account that is believed to have been made by Crooks, he appeared to defend President Biden’s immigration policies in response to a pro-Trump poster.

“First of all Biden executive orders don’t incentivize human trafficking as human traffickers aren’t interested in citizenships, likewise the majority of illegal immigrants are not criminals and in fact some studies (such as the one linked below) show lower rates of crime committed by these individuals,” reads one post from the account. It then linked to a study from PNAS.

In another post, the account allegedly operated by Crooks suggested that COVID-19 lockdowns were an effective policy.

“Thats funny because the first order mandates a reuniting of any families separated at the border, the 2nd and 3rd orders a review of trumps immigration policies and other previous policies. However his order doesn’t actually open borders or reduce the authority of border patrol, or anything that would substantially reduce BP effectiveness,” reads another post in defense of President Biden’s decision to axe a number of Trump’s border policies.

“The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy,” Torba said.

“To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.”

The bombshell report caught the attention of X owner Elon Musk, who said the FBI deputy director committed perjury if the account does indeed belong to Crooks. “It sure looks like the FBI leadership engaged in perjury,” Musk wrote in an X post.

To date, the FBI has reported that it has been unable to determine a motive as to why Crooks attempted to kill the former president. While Crooks was registered to vote as a Republican, he did donate to the progressive fundraising arm ActBlue on the day of President Biden’s inauguration.

Outside the alleged Gab account, the deceased gunman’s social media footprint was practically nonexistent. He did have an account on Discord — a messaging application popular with gamers — though the account has been deleted by the platform.

One former classmate described Crooks as a “Trump hater” who would frequently argue over political matters.

“Thomas was a quiet kid unless there was something that he was passionate about. Politics being one of them, he just did not like politicians, especially with the choices that we’ve had. He did not like our politicians,” said Vincent Taormina, a former classmate of Crooks, adding that this became especially apparent in 2016.

“So I brought up the fact that I’m Hispanic and you know I’m for Trump, and he said, ‘well you’re Hispanic so shouldn’t you hate Trump?’ And I was like, ‘no he’s great, I mean like he’s a great president.’ And he’s you know, he called me stupid, or insinuated that as if he’s like, well, that’s kind of stupid.”

“So like, once again, if he was passionate about something, he would just talk, talk, talk and acted like he knew everything, especially politics related. And he was just, he was, he would say it in a type of way. And meanwhile, it’s like, dude, we’re in the same classes. You know what I mean? We’re talking about the same stuff here,” the former classmate continued.
