Disturbing information has emerged regarding a major abuse of privacy led by former President Joe Biden’s administration.

The last several weeks have been replete with revelations about the efforts of prior administrations to undermine President Donald Trump.

Trump has been targeted by Democrat-led operations both while a candidate and as president.

Now, several veterans of Trump’s first term in the White House have stepped forward to claim that they were informed by Google of a major breach in privacy.

Google revealed that several Trump officials had been under investigation by the Biden FBI.

This was a disclosure the company was previously prevented by court order from making, as Fox News reports.

Details of the scrutiny faced by members of Trump’s first administration emerged on Friday in a post on X from Dan Scavino, who now serves as White House deputy chief of staff.

Scavino explained that he had been “proudly and patriotically serving in the first Trump White House” but, upon departing in January 2021, was targeted by what he called “Biden lawfare.”

The high-level Trump aide noted that five weeks before returning to the White House for the president’s second term, he received a troubling email from tech giant Google.

That message said, “Google received and responded to legal process issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation compelling the release of information related to your Google account.”

It continued, “A court order previously prohibited Google from notifying you of the legal process… .”

Scavino made the situation public in an effort to underscore what he said was a “small taste of the INSANITY that many of us went through – right here in the United States of America.

“LAWFARE at its finest,” Scavino noted.

“A Complete and Total Disgrace!!!!”

Soon after Scavino recounted the story on X, current FBI Director Kash Patel posted in response, writing, “I got one of those too… .”

Another former and current Trump official, Jeff Clark, chimed in as well.

Clark said that he also received the notification from Google, noting:

“Indeed, a whole [former special counsel] Jack Smith team was assigned to go through my emails after there was a privilege review.”

Clark lamented the expansive scope of the probe, adding:

“But that group of lawyers ignored my religious pastor privilege, and other privileges, and basically shipped all they could to Jack Smith.

Echoing the financial and personal ramifications of Democrat lawfare of which so many Trump allies, such as Carter Page, in recent years have complained, Clark added:

“But it still cost me tens of thousands to try to protect my communications.”

Clark continued by blasting “thugs with law degrees” who ignored the fact that “medical records and other private communications had nothing to do with the 2020 election.

“They were no one’s business.”

Still flabbergasted over being defunded by Congress, board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) cried, lied, and quoted Shakespeare during their melodramatic July 24 board meeting. On August 1, the board announced it is starting an “orderly wind-down of its operations,” and most of the CPB staff positions “will conclude with the close of the fiscal year on September 30, 2025.”

You would cry too, if you were losing a compensation package bigger than the salary of the president of the United States. In 2022, CPB CEO Patricia Harrison’s compensation was $524,000, according to the CPB’ most recently available 990 tax exempt form.

CPB is a nonprofit created by Congress in 1967 to administer funding for Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR).

Each year, Congress gives CPB loads of federal taxpayer money, and CPB decides the amount to give to 1,581 public radio and television stations. But the Big Beautiful Bill trimmed CPB out of appropriations, meaning it gets zero money instead of the $1.07 billion it expected for 2026 and 2027.

During its meeting, the board spent 30 self-indulgent minutes extolling the importance of public broadcasting and warning that life without it could harm rural communities. Diane Kaplin used Radio Station KSDP in Sand Point, Alaska as an example, saying without it, “There would be no information” about the recent earthquake and tsunami warning.

But that is a lie. Sand Point and everywhere else in the United States gets Wireless Emergency Alerts — instant emergency information delivered to cell phones to keep the public informed, not just the ones who think to turn on the radio.

In 2022, CPB gave KSDP $211,000. The radio station’s total revenue was $265,000. The CPB portion could have been paid by Harrison’s salary alone for two years. The folks at KSDP might be angry to learn that their annual budget for the compensation packages for all employees combined that year, ($141,067), was slightly less than Harrison’s 2022 bonus ($144,645). At least one person on the KSDP staff has a second job.

If the CPB board really cared about keeping broadcasting viable in small towns like Sand Point, it would not have a huge, overpaid staff in Washington, D.C.

In 2022, CPB spent $19.3 million on salaries and benefits. At least 14 CPB employees that year had compensation packages worth more than $260,000. Of those, five employees were paid over $470,000. Not bad for government work. It is obscene to the point of corruption.
