House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday revealed that the Biden administration subpoenaed his phone records for a two-year period as part of the Arctic Frost investigation, making his records more expansive than other lawmakers.

The announcement comes after recent revelations claimed the Biden FBI snooped on the phone records of Republican members of Congress, including eight senators, during its January 6 investigation.

Jordan said his phone records were requested by Justice Department prosecutor Timothy Duree, who worked with Thomas Windom, one of Jack Smith's top prosecutors, in April 2022. The request sought his phone records from Jan. 1, 2020, through April 2022.

The toll records did not include the contents of Jordan's phone calls or messages but did include details about inbound and outbound calls, text messages, direct-connect communications and voicemail messages.

The subpoena was also accompanied by a nondisclosure order that claimed notifying Jordan of the subpoena could "result in flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation."

"As part of our investigation, we uncovered new information regarding Chairman Jordan and shared it with him as soon as possible," Verizon spokesman Rich Young told Fox News. "We are committed to restoring trust through transparency and will continue to work with Congress and the administration as they examine these issues and consider reforms to expand notification protections."

New York GOP Rep. Claudia Tennney confirmed Thursday that her private residence in Washington, D.C., was vandalized overnight, but that no one was injured in the incident.

Tenney said law enforcement responded to the vandalism early Thursday morning, and the incident is under investigation by the United States Capitol Police and D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. The motive is currently unclear.

It was not immediately clear if a suspect is in custody, but the vandalism included a broken window.

“This incident at my residence in Washington was disturbing and unacceptable," Tenney said in a statement. "I am grateful that no one was hurt, and I want to thank law enforcement for their rapid response and continued efforts to keep our community safe. Violence, intimidation, and attacks against public officials or their families have no place in our society. I will not be deterred from doing my job on behalf of the people of New York.”

Tenney represents New York's 24th Congressional District, which encompasses Lake Ontario’s shoreline from the Thousand Islands to Niagara County, minus the greater Rochester area.

Bondi faces GOP pressure to speedily release Epstein files

The House voted 427-1 in favor of the files' release.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is under pressure from Republican lawmakers to refrain from slow-walking the release of the Epstein files after President Donald Trump signed legislation requiring their public disclosure.

Bondi originally attempted to release largely public information to influencers earlier this year in a now-notorious PR stunt involving binders. The administration reluctantly endorsed the release of the files after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., managed to force a House vote on the issue. The legislation gives Bondi 30 days to release the materials. Bondi has hinted, however, that active investigations could lead to a hold on the release.

“You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on, but if you do a blanket hold, I think that they’re going to have a lot of people angry," Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said this week, according to The Hill.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, for her part warned “people who feel very strongly about this will feel like they’ve been duped" if Bondi implements a hold on the release.

The House voted 427-1 in favor of the files' release. The Senate approved the measure by unanimous consent. Trump himself campaigned on releasing the so-called "client list" of powerful people to whom Epstein allegedly trafficked young women.

Bondi, in February, said that the client list was "on her desk" though the administration has insisted she was referring to the body of documents related to the case. An unsigned memo, earlier this year, stated that no client list existed, leading to outrage over the administration's handling of the matter.

President Donald Trump’s Treasury Department will issue a new rule that prevents illegal aliens and foreign nationals from securing income tax credits such as the lucrative Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.

On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agency would issue new regulations regarding who is eligible for such income tax credits under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA).

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are enforcing the law and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits intended for American citizens,” Bessent told Breitbart News.

In particular, the rule will clarify that refunded portions of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit are federal public benefits and, therefore, illegal aliens and other foreign nationals will not be eligible to receive such benefits.

“Treasury’s Office of Tax Policy and the Internal Revenue Service have worked tirelessly to advance this initiative and ensure its successful implementation,” Bessent said. “Their diligence and professionalism reflect this administration’s determination to uphold the integrity of our tax system. We will continue to ensure that taxpayer resources are directed only to those who are entitled under the law.”

The rule comes after the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel released an opinion on the matter that interprets income tax credits as federal public benefits, thus making illegal aliens ineligible.

Interior Department proposes opening waters off California and Florida to oil drilling

The plan proposes sales off the coast of Southern California in 2027, 2029 and 2030, two sales near Central California in 2027 and 2029, and one off the coast of Northern California in 2029.

The Interior Department proposed a new, five-year plan Thursday to open waters off the coasts of California and Florida for oil drilling and gas leasing.

The proposal for the 2026–2031 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program would create up to 34 potential lease sales with six sales off California, seven in federal waters in the Gulf of America and 21 sales off of Alaska.

The department has already instructed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to cancel the Biden administration's 2024–2029 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for the new one.

“The Biden administration slammed the brakes on offshore oil and gas leasing and crippled the long-term pipeline of America’s offshore production,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement. “By moving forward with the development of a robust, forward-thinking leasing plan, we are ensuring that America’s offshore industry stays strong, our workers stay employed, and our nation remains energy dominant for decades to come.”

The plan proposes sales off the coast of Southern California in 2027, 2029 and 2030, two sales near central California in 2027 and 2029, and one off the coast of northern California in 2029, according to Politico.

Thursday's plan marks the first of three proposals for the 2026-2031 program, and members of the public will have a 60-day window to offer comments, which will begin next week.

Every day I wake up and discover some new level of corruption and ask can it get any worse?

Then I wake up again 😡

Today it’s Somalian “autism” fraud ripping us off to the tune of millions to fund, get ready, terrorism.

Is this fixable or are we so broken and corrupt our political leaders simply joined the corruption party?

@realDonaldTrump it’s not the golden era until the gold flows back toward we the people and not further into the pockets of corrupt government officials.

DOJ says foreperson confirmed grand jury approved two-count Comey indictment

The actual transcript from a September 25 discussion between the magistrate judge, the DOJ, and the grand jury foreperson lends credence to Lindsey Halligan's contention that the two-count indictment against James Comey was properly obtained.

The Justice Department has released a transcript from its effort in September to indict former FBI Director James Comey that appears to show the foreperson of the grand jury that voted on and agreed to a two-count indictment against Comey for allegedly lying to and obstructing Congress.

Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Gabriel J. Diaz and Tyler Lemons signed a “notice correcting the record” and filed it in federal court on Thursday, providing transcribed evidence that the grand jury, after rejecting one count against Comey, approved two other counts against him. The new effort by the DOJ comes as Comey's lawyers have sought to get the case dismissed and as the judges reviewing elements of the case have seemed open to Comey's arguments.

“The complete record eliminates any doubt: The foreperson confirmed the vote. The Court acknowledged the vote. The Court docketed the two-count true bill as the operative indictment. Only Count One lacked concurrence; Counts Two and Three were true-billed by at least twelve jurors,” the Trump DOJ said in its new court filing. “Accordingly, any assertion that the grand jury ‘never voted on the two-count indictment’ is contradicted by the official transcript.”

🚨 Two Virginia men — an assistant principal at a local high school and his brother — were arrested for plotting to shoot ICE agents.

Great job to the Virginia Beach Police Department for placing these SICKOS in custody.

Democrats have unleashed a left-wing terror movement that must be stopped.
