Tom Fitton said Monday the Department of Justice and FBI misled a FISA court to get a surveillance warrant against Carter Page as a way to target then-candidate Donald Trump.
The Justice Department on Saturday released documents used by the government to justify the FISA surveillance warrant against Page, a former Trump campaign aide.
President Trump took to Twitter Monday morning to declare that the heavily-redacted materials — which were released after a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act lawsuit — show that the Steele Dossier was a major component of the 2016 surveillance warrant. [Read More]
President Donald Trump is examining whether to revoke the security clearances of former intelligence officials who have criticized him, his spokeswoman said Monday, raising the specter of a president using his office to lash out at his political critics.

Clapper Jr.; and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. [Read More]

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic candidate for Congress Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent time campaigning last week in a state many progressives wouldn’t consider a campaign priority: Kansas.
CBS News’ “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan sat down with Vermont’s Sanders, a well-known face in Democratic politics, and New York’s Ocasio-Cortez, a rising star in the party after she defeated incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley, as they stumped in the Sunflower State.

DC-based chain Z-Burger is being heavily criticized for a tweet over the weekend that juxtaposed a photo of the murdered American journalist James Foley awaiting execution by ISIS in 2014 with an image of a hamburger. The message from Z-Burger reads “When you say you want a burger and someone says okay let’s hit McDonalds.” Underneath the image of Foley was the message “You disgrace me.” The tweet has since been deleted.
Owner Peter Tabibian apologized on behalf of Z-Burger, which operates four locations in DC and Maryland, and says an outside company, Valor Media, was responsible. Tabibian says he hired the North Carolina-based group three months ago to handle all of Z-Burger’s social media and ad campaigns. The tweet was live for about an hour before he was made aware of it, and then he contacted the company to delete it. [Read More]
