#Trump has pressured admin ofcls to aggressively hunt for those leaking information. But he has gone further than trying to stop the flow of unauthorized information; he has labeled “treasonous” #media coverage that is critical of the #US handling of the #war in #Iran & the shortages of munitions.
The leaks have intensified an atmosphere of deep distrust & paranoia inside the #Pentagon, one that current & fmr ofcls say has been fostered by #Defense Sec #Hegseth.

“I’ve never seen polygraphs employed this broadly or at this seniority level,” said Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter, a retired top judge advocate general for the Navy. “In my experience, it’s unprecedented.”
The move comes as multiple news organizations have revealed details about how the #war with #Iran has drained munition stockpiles & reported on concerns inside the admin about the strategic direction of the conflict.

The investigators asked #military officers & civilian employees on the #JointStaff if they disclosed classified information to members of the #press, & about whether they provided information about diminished US munitions stocks.
The #polygraph tests were conducted in August after a flurry of news reports detailed diminished stocks of crucial munitions, including of long-range missiles & Patriot interceptors.

The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.
#Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

The strikes are separate from the #Pentagon’s campaign against alleged drug boats that began last fall. Those strikes have been fiercely criticized by #HumanRights groups & most Democratic lawmakers, who say they are #extrajudicial #murders. The admin has justified the strikes by equating “narco-terrorists” with militants assaulting the #US.

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who spent nearly four decades as the government’s top #InfectiousDisease expert, refused on Wednesday to answer any questions from a #Senate committee investigating the origins of #Covid19. Dr. #Fauci accused the committee’s #Republican chairman, #RandPaul, of having an “unhinged obsession with me,” before repeatedly invoking his #FifthAmendment right not to incriminate himself.

Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights.

“Through the *cooperation* of our federal partners we have obtained the hard drives of previously withheld evidence in the killings of #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti & the shooting of #JulioSosaCelis,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “We have also obtained some of the physical evidence that was previously withheld, including Renee Good’s car.”

American #WhiteSupremacist cavemen with #Russia are targeting #Canada with fake #AI videos and #propaganda promising a better life in the US to feed a #separatist movement in #Alberta to destabilize another #democracy in the West. But beyond that, the #US, a rogue #MafiaState in its current state, is hellbent on grabbing more oil, this time from #Canada, a clear sign of their endless #greed and #narcissism and that their #imperialist #colonizer impulses have no limits.

#Trump in December authorized an $11B arms package for #Taiwan — the largest weapons sale ever to the island — but has not yet moved forward with delivery & even acknowledged that he’s discussed the sale with #Xi. He’s groused that Taiwan “stole” America’s #semiconductor business & called on Taiwan to pay the #US for protection.

In July, Reuters reported 2 of Slater's deputies were fired for “insubordination” after a settlement greenlighting #HewlettPackard Enterprise's $14 billion acquisition of #JuniperNetworks. The move exposed a power struggle within Trump's admin between proponents of robust antitrust enforcement & dealmakers seeking to #leverage #influence.

…“It was like a bunch of gangsters coming into the neighborhood & smashing windows and threatening shop owners,” said Senator #SheldonWhitehouse, #Democrat of Rhode Island, who was briefed on the events by negotiators who were directly involved. Mr. Whitehouse called the Trump administration’s strategy a “shock-and-awe thuggery approach.”

#BorisEpshteyn earned #Trump’s trust by overseeing his legal team after Trump left office & is regularly at the White House, admin ofcls said.
Some of the #LawFirms privately worried about negotiating with a lawyer who wasn’t employed by the govt & didn’t have a govt email address, some of the lawyers said. But they decided talking w/Epshteyn was their best path to avoid a govt investigation or executive order, the people said, after determining he had serious sway w/Trump.
