Here Comes QE Lite: Yields, Dollar Tumble, Gold Spikes After Treasury Unexpectedly Doubles Size Of Long-End Treasury Buybacks

 

Over the past several years, one of the more amusing debates gripping the market's Fed-watchers was whether the Fed's treasury buyback auctions were a form of soft QE, with this website consistently arguing that - contrary to what washed out ex-Bridgewater traders with a newsletter to sell may tell you - Treasury buybacks were just that when it comes to what matters such as market reaction, to wit:

 

*TREASURY SAYS IT'S EVALUATING ENHANCEMENTS TO BUYBACK PROGRAM

 

"Not QE"

10:31 PM · Apr 30, 2025

 

*TREASURY INCREASES LIQUIDITY BUYBACK TOTAL TO $30B FROM $15B

 

"Not QE 2.0" is growing

10:30 PM · Jul 31, 2024

 

TREASURY DEBT BUYBACK TARGETS COUPONS MATURING IN 2031 - 2034

 

Next QE rehearsal

 

And moments ago, Scott Bessent finally resolved the debate when, with 30Y yields at 20 year highs and threatening to blow out higher, the US Treasury shocked markets, sparked a meltdown in yields and surge in equity futures and gold when it announced at 8:30am that they will be "increasing, by at least double, the size of liquidity support buyback operations for longer-dated nominal coupon securities (the 10-year to 20-year sector and the 20-year to 30-year sector). The current maximum size of $2 billion per operation will be at least $4 billion per operation."

 

This change will be effective September 9, 2026 and will be in effect for the remainder of this refunding quarter (through November 4, 2026). The releases noted that the Treasury will provide more information about future buyback sizes at the next Quarterly Refunding, scheduled for November 4, 2026, in other words it has the benefit of 3 months of "NOT QE" without having to even specify its thinking.

 

According to the statement, "this increase in buyback operation sizes reflects Treasury’s desire to provide greater liquidity support in longer-dated nominal sectors where there is consistent strong sponsorship from market participants, as evidenced by the significant volume of high-quality offers Treasury routinely receives in longer-dated buyback operations."

 

Translation: Bessent panicked and the justification that there is no liquidity is just a strawman, with the Treasury now freaking out that the demand for AI paper is crowding out demand for Treasuries as we have been warning for the past several weeks, and as we predicted a week ago when looking at the blowing out Treasury skew, "Bessent will be busy.:"

Henderson County DA STRIPS Trinidad, TX Police Department of Prosecution Power After Cops Arrested Two Citizen Journalists for Exercising Their First Amendment Rights

 

Tiny East Texas Town of Under 1,000 Implodes Over Dirty Water Cover-Up, Retaliatory Arrests, Fired Judge, Mass Resignations, and 15 Years of “Bad Policing”

 

The Henderson County District Attorney and County Attorney have informed the Trinidad, Texas Police Department that they will no longer accept ANY cases for prosecution solely investigated or filed by the department until further notice.

 

The letter, obtained by local media, effectively neuters the Trinidad PD’s ability to bring meaningful criminal cases. The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office will now handle crimes inside city limits.

 

Pending cases will be reviewed one by one. The prosecutors themselves requested the ongoing Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) audit of the department, FOX 4 reported.

 

This is the direct fallout from Trinidad’s heavy-handed war on free speech.

 

Trinidad, a town of fewer than 1,000 people about an hour southeast of Dallas, has struggled for years with serious water problems, discolored water, sediment, strong odors, and chemical readings far above legal limits.

 

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality later confirmed major deficiencies, including chemicals more than 300% above federal limits and a failing distribution system.

 

Citizen journalist Jennifer Combs, who runs the Southern Belle Watch Facebook page, posted that she had received reports of residents being hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. She asked people to share what they were seeing so the information could be passed to state regulators.

 

Then-Police Chief Charles Gregory responded by having her arrested on a state jail felony charge of false alarm or report. Gregory claimed the post “creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community.”

 

Combs, a mother with a clean record, was taken from her home, handcuffed, and spent 23 hours in jail.

Jeffrey Tucker Reveals The Insidious Reason For The Lockdowns

 

The lockdowns that wiped out small businesses. The school closures that sent children's reading scores back to 1971. The plexiglass, the masking, the stay-at-home orders. None of it was about keeping us safe. “It was exactly the opposite,” as Tucker put it.

 

TUCKER: “We all have what we consider to be the most shocking feature of the COVID response. But for me, I still can’t get over the fact that I was told by top FDA, NIH officials that a major reason for social distancing, lockdowns, masking, Plexiglas, stay-at-home orders, and everything else was to delay the onset of natural immunity, to delay rising seroprevalence levels, to delay endemicity until after the shots were online.

 

“So, it wasn’t just that all these tactics, these sort of social engineering tactics, were designed to keep us [safe]. Well, no, it was exactly the opposite. It was to keep us from gaining natural capacity to resist the virus.

 

“So that they could wait until the injection came along. So the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and, and thereby get all the credit for having solved the issue.

 

“That sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, but that’s what they meant by ‘flatten the curve.’ Flatten the curve meant to prolong the pain, delay the solution. And it sounds crazy until you hear it from people who were there on the ground, in the agencies, in the companies, watching all this unfold.

 

“And multiple sources have confirmed this without a shadow of doubt in their mind that was the real purpose of the school closures, the business shutdowns, the stay-at-home orders, the travel restrictions, and everything: to delay the point at which we would have solved, essentially solved, the problem through natural exposure and immune upgrades.”

WATCH beaming Israeli security minister unveil execution facility for Palestinians

 

The facility will be used to hang convicted “terrorists” under a controversial new law and will include viewing booths, according to Itamar Ben-Gvir

 

Israel is building an execution facility for Palestinian prisoners sentenced to death on terrorism charges, ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced. Apart from an execution chamber, the facility will house viewing booths where “crime victims” and their families can witness hangings – an option “customary in many countries,” Ben-Gvir mentioned while presenting the facility on Tuesday.

 

The complex will be used to hang convicted “terrorists” under the recently approved Death Penalty for Terrorists Law. The Knesset passed the legislation, championed by Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party, in March. It mandates death penalty for those convicted of deadly terrorist attacks aimed at “ending Israel’s existence” – a provision critics say effectively exempts Jewish Israelis, making the law applicable almost exclusively to Palestinians. Executions must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no right of appeal.

 

The execution facility’s exact location has not been disclosed beyond that it is housed in a newly built death-row wing at a prison in central Israel. In partly blurred video footage filmed at the site, a beaming Ben-Gvir proudly showcases the construction site, framing it as the fulfillment of promises to his supporters.

 

“We are making history. Terrorists deserve only one thing – death by hanging,” the minister stated. “I took office promising to stop the ‘summer camps’ in the Prison Service. This has been fully implemented. I promised to legislate a death penalty law for terrorists. This has been carried out. And now the death row and hanging facility are also starting to take shape.”

 

He famously boasted that he would ensure “the terrorists [in prison] receive the minimum of the minimum” in food and argued last year that “there is no such thing as ‘Palestinian people.’” A leading advocate of the execution law, the minister and his party members wore noose-shaped lapel pins for months, while his 50th birthday cake in May also featured a noose.

 

‘Deeply discriminatory’ law

 

The death penalty law has drawn widespread criticism from human rights groups and legal campaigners, including in Israel, over discrimination, due process, and potential violations of international and Israeli law. UN human rights experts have warned that hanging in particular is incompatible with the absolute prohibition on torture, while Israeli rights group B’Tselem argued that the highly visual method contributes to the “dehumanization” of Palestinians.

 

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has called it “deeply discriminatory” and an egregious violation of international law. Israeli lawmakers and rights groups, including Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel – recently petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the law as unconstitutional.

Mossad Controlled opposition - limited release

 

NICK SHIRLEY’S RISE WAS A WHITE HOUSE OPERATION, LEAKED DOCS CLAIM

 

Independent reporter Caroline Orr Bueno says material tied to a private firm raises questions about how a viral Minnesota-fraud video reached the administration.

 

Leaked documents cited by independent reporter Caroline Orr Bueno allege that the Trump White House helped shape the rise of YouTube creator Nick Shirley before his Minnesota daycare-fraud video went viral.

Bueno reported that a source who approached former OANN correspondent Gabrielle Cuccia about working on White House-related, AI-generated content said using a third party to amplify administration messaging had “worked out for them and Nick Shirley.”

 

The claim revolves around Vine and Fig Tree, a private firm that Cuccia said sought help producing a video on behalf of the White House. In a later Byline Times investigation, Bueno reported that leaked material described burner accounts, AI-generated media, message testing, and influencer amplification.

 

“They don’t want it to look like it’s actually coming from the WH.” Gabrielle Cuccia, describing what she said Vine and Fig Tree told her.

 

Shirley’s December video alleging fraud at Somali-owned daycares quickly reached top Trump officials. The White House later cited Shirley by name, and he testified before Congress.

 

Shirley denied receiving White House funding or advance knowledge, telling Snopes the allegation was “completely false.”

 

Bueno’s reporting raises a central question: Did a viral citizen-journalism story become a White House operation before the public ever saw it?

“We Have Cameras Everywhere In That Town”: The Rising Epidemic Of Flock Camera False Arrests

 

All these wrongful arrests based on faulty Flock camera evidence is another illustration of the way people are making themselves dumber by outsourcing their thinking to machines.

 

Today in dystopia, police have been wrongfully arresting people based on faulty information from AI-assisted Flock surveillance footage instead of actually investigating the evidence of the crime.

 

In an article titled “She Spent 7 Months in Legal Hell After Cops Used Flock Surveillance To Identify the Wrong Car,” Reason Magazine documents multiple instances of innocent people having their lives upended in legal battles because police slammed them with charges based on incorrect Flock camera data which could have easily been ruled out by some basic verification.

 

Here’s an excerpt:

 

“But Isaacs wasn’t involved in the crash, and officers had enough information at the time to exclude her as a suspect. Yet she still spent two weeks in jail and faced the threat of life behind bars for months because police didn’t use basic scrutiny to be sure their cameras implicated the right person.

 

“Much has been written about Flock cameras making mistakes — including cases in which innocent people were detained at gunpoint because a camera mistook a 2 for a 7, or misread the state on a license plate.

 

“But it’s worse than just imperfect software: All too often, police pull people over, arrest them, and even jail them based on camera misidentifications that officers could have caught with basic scrutiny. There are also numerous examples of officers with access to Flock’s database using it to stalk and surveil people in their personal lives.”

 

Reason shared a police body cam video of a cop confidently handing a court summons to a woman for package theft, telling her and her husband that it was “100 percent” certain she was guilty because Flock surveillance had her on camera committing the crime.

 

“We have cameras everywhere in that town; you can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing,” the officer asserts on camera, saying “It is her, it is 100 percent, it is locked in, there is zero doubt; I wouldn’t have come here unless I was 100 percent sure.”

 

If that wasn’t Orwellian enough for you, Reason reports that the woman was only able to exonerate herself by providing police with “her cellphone tracking data, camera footage from her truck, and video placing her elsewhere at the time of the theft.” In other words, she was only saved from wrongful conviction based on faulty mass surveillance by providing correct information from other forms of mass surveillance.

 

It is absolutely chilling how the panopticon of surveillance is creating this “guilty until proven innocent by better surveillance” standard that is rapidly becoming the norm throughout our society. The state is being given massive, sweeping powers to monitor every aspect of civilian life to an increasingly intrusive extent, and it is already ruining people’s lives. This benefits nobody but the powerful, who live in constant vigilance and paranoia about the common folk growing fed up with their rulers and forcing the creation of a more equitable status quo.

The Stunning Collapse of the Climate Scam, Documented

 

The "settled science" chicanery of the climate catastrophe propagandists of the IPCC is rapidly falling to the wayside.

 

For those who have been paying attention, the stunning collapse of the climate scam over the past year has been something to behold.

 

First there was the COP Flop.

 

Then the US withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

 

Then Judith Curry retired her blog, opining that “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on.”

 

Then The Guardian published an article lamenting that less than 5% of UK media outlets have used the recent European heat wave as an excuse to promote Net Zero propaganda.

 

And now even The New York Times is waving the white flag on the climate Armageddon story…well, kind of.

 

So, what on earth is happening? How did we go from a world where the climate apocalypse was touted as an existential threat to life on earth and trumpeted on the news every single day to a world where climate change isn’t even on the radar anymore?

 

Let’s find out.

 

Un-Settled Science: The death of RCP 8.5

 

Students of the climate scam will know by now the laundry list of scientific frauds, fallacies and fudgery that have undergirded the supposedly “settled science” of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.

 

You’ll know, for example, that the temperature record has been systematically tampered with to consistently cool the past and warm the present, thus creating a false impression of rapidly increasing temperatures.

 

And you’ll know the various techniques of statistical chicanery that are employed to keep a credulous public believing in a false narrative about imminent climate catastrophe.

 

And you’ll know that climategate gave a very revealing look at how climate scientists actually operate and demonstrated the extent to which they are willing to lie, cheat and smear to keep contradictory evidence out of the scientific record—despite the climategate debunkers‘ efforts to whitewash that scandal.

 

And you’ll know that the “global average temperature“ is not an actual, measured temperature but a calculated number constructed from various data sets of dubious quality.

 

But what you might not know unless you’ve been keeping close track of the latest developments in climate crockery is that the IPCC has officially dropped RCP 8.5.

 

For those who are well-versed in these matters, no more needs to be said. Most people, though, will have no clue what any of this means. Allow me to explain.

 

The IPCC, of course, is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN body tasked with “provid[ing] governments at all levels with scientific information that they can use to develop climate policies.” It issues an “assessment report” compiling key findings in the published climate science literature every six or seven years. These assessment reports are taken very seriously by the establishment media, of course, and are used by politicians to justify all manner of draconian Net Zero policies and Green New Deal tyranny.

 

Listeners of The Corbett Report will know that the IPCC is a scam, that its assessment reports are hot air and that the entire IPCC process has been rigged from the start.

ISRAELI SPY FIRM CAN SEIZE AND ALTER CAMERAS ACROSS AMERICA

 

An Insight to Incite investigation traces the Israeli-founded surveillance firm’s move into Maryland and its shared investor with Flock Safety.

 

Americans have only begun to confront Flock Safety’s expanding network of automated license-plate readers. Yet another surveillance company now demands closer scrutiny.

In a new Insight to Incite investigation, journalist JD Hall documents the rise of Toka, a cyber-intelligence firm co-founded by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and retired Israeli cyber commander Yaron Rosen.

 

Toka’s own announcement states that it has moved its headquarters to Columbia, Maryland, serves customers in 13 countries, including the United States, and sells to government, defense, intelligence, and law-enforcement clients.

 

"Toka, the provider of breakthrough intelligence and defense technologies to strengthen national security, today announced a series of company milestones. Following over 60% year-over-year growth in 2025 and serving customers in 13 countries globally, including the United States and allied nations, the company continues to scale operations and meet demand by appointing Gregg Smith as Chief Executive Officer and officially transitioning to a U.S.-based company with headquarters in Maryland." — TOKA GROUP

 

That should alarm every American who values the Fourth Amendment.

 

Reporting based on Haaretz documents said Toka’s technology can scan a geographic area for vulnerable security cameras, take control of their feeds, and modify recordings. The company reportedly marketed the ability to alter footage without leaving an obvious digital trace.

 

“Toka is pioneering a new era of innovation that unlocks the full potential of intelligence.” — Gregg Smith, Toka CEO

 

Toka’s investor list includes Andreessen Horowitz. Flock Safety also announced that Andreessen Horowitz led its $275 million funding round in 2025.

 

The records reviewed do not establish that Toka has breached Flock cameras, Ring devices, or any particular U.S. system. However, Hall’s report exposes the threat: a government-only vendor with reported tools to turn existing private and public cameras into covert intelligence assets has planted its headquarters outside Washington’s security state.

Serco Employee Charged with Leaking Asylum Seeker Addresses: Report

 

A man who works for a top outsourcing firm has been charged with allegedly releasing the addresses of asylum seekers in Norfolk that were later targeted in civil unrest.

 

James Jobson, 62, an employee of Serco, has been charged with “misconduct in a public office” and appeared before the Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

 

The Norfolk Police force said in a statement that the charge was “in connection with the release of information relating to a number of addresses in Thetford, which were later targeted during several nights of violent disorder in the town.”

 

According to a report from the BBC, the information allegedly released by the Serco employee related to the addresses of asylum seekers.

 

The public broadcaster further reported that prosecutors accused Jobson of having “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification” committed misconduct in a way which “amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office”.

 

The charge sheet reportedly said that the alleged offences took place between the 3rd and 14th of August, during which time multiple days of protests broke out in the small town of Thetford in south Norfolk.

 

According to contemporary reports, protests broke out after a group of what were thought to be five Iranian illegal migrants were brought to a property within Thetford. By the end of the night, three properties had been allegedly attacked by around 100 people. Protests later took place outside the local police station.

 

For over a decade, Serco has served as one of the chief companies that the British government relies on to house alleged asylum seekers in hotels and other taxpayer-funded facilities while their requests for protective status are adjudicated.

 

A spokesman for the firm said in a statement: “This matter is currently being handled by the police, and we are cooperating fully. As this relates to an ongoing legal process, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

 

Jobson was remanded in custody and will appear before the Norwich Crown Court on September 14.

The Data Doesn’t Support the Charge: Iran and the “Number One Sponsor of Terrorism” Claim

 

Every administration reaches for the same line. Iran, we are told, is the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism — a claim now central to the case for war. It carries the weight of an official designation: Iran has sat on the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism since January 19, 1984, the longest-running designation currently on the books, alongside Cuba, North Korea, and Syria. The supporting figures get repeated as settled fact — more than a billion dollars a year in terror financing, and somewhere between 140,000 and 185,000 IRGC-Quds Force partner fighters spread across Afghanistan, Gaza, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen.

 

The problem is that the government’s own record doesn’t back the headline. The place to test the claim is the data the State Department itself publishes — the statistical annex to Country Reports on Terrorism, and before it Patterns of Global Terrorism, the congressionally mandated series that has catalogued international terrorist incidents year by year since 1990. When you actually read those tables, a different picture emerges from the one sold on cable news.

 

Who commits the attacks

 

The annex doesn’t sort attacks by sect, but it doesn’t need to. The identity of the top perpetrator groups tells the story on its own. Year after year across 2004–2023, the most active and lethal groups are Sunni: the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda and its affiliates, al-Shabaab, the TTP. On the order of nine in ten attacks in the reporting trace back to Sunni extremist actors operating out of the Salafi-jihadist tradition. None of them answer to Tehran. Most regard Shia Muslims — Iran very much included — as heretics, and target them accordingly. ISIS has spent years at open war with Iran and its allies.

 

A separate French dataset, compiled by FONDAPOL over a longer 1979–April 2024 window, lands in the same place. The five deadliest Islamist groups over that period account for better than 80 percent of all victims of Islamist terrorism — and every one of the five is Sunni: the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, and al-Qaeda.

 

Where are the Iran-linked groups in all this? Largely absent from the top of the tables. Hezbollah and the Iran-aligned militias tend not to appear, in part because their operations are directed mainly at military forces rather than civilians, which places them outside the working definition of terrorism the reports use. The Houthis are the main Shia-linked group to surface in recent editions, and only as a small share of the total.

 

It is only in 2023 that three groups in Iran’s orbit — the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah — break into the top ten at all. They do so because of their attacks on Israel, and those attacks were aimed primarily at military targets. Before 2023, neither Hamas nor Hezbollah ranked among the groups responsible for the most attacks worldwide. That is a remarkable fact for two organizations routinely described as among the planet’s most prolific terrorists.

Federal Judge Dismisses Trump’s Bogus Anti-semitism Lawsuit Against Harvard University

 

President Trump, ever Israel’s loyal puppet, instructed the US Department of Justice (sic) to bring a lawsuit against Harvard for anti-semitism. The Trump regime maintains that Harvard engaged in anti-semitism when some students protested against the Israeli genocide of Palestine.

 

Somehow free speech, guaranteed by the First Amendment, has become illegal if it results in criticism of Israel. The Trump regime contends, believe it or not, that it constitutes a violation of Jews’ civil rights for Harvard students to oppose genocide. Go figure.

 

Moreover, how is Harvard empowered to censor the free speech of its students? Harvard students are not locked away in dungeons with rags stuffed in their mouths. If Harvard punishes students for exercising First Amendment rights, Harvard will get a bunch of lawsuits for violating the civil rights of the students. Trump’s case and the students’ case cannot both be true.

 

Trump’s idea that Jews alone are entitled to protection from criticism shows what a complete puppet he is of Israel’s. You would think Trump would be ashamed to reveal himself in this way. An American president groveling at the feet of Netanyahu is a shameful sight.

 

Federal district judge Richard G. Stearns dismissed the lawsuit on the basis that the anti-semitic protests were “isolated and episodic.” In other words, the judge avoided the issue whether criticizing Israel is anti-semitic and illegal. He said that the few examples of anti-semitism did not amount to a policy.

 

In other words, the judge did not rule on First Amendment grounds. In effect his ruling amounts to abandoning First Amendment grounds for opposing genocide. This means the judge’s ruling is another victory for Israel.

‘Battery is not protest’: US judge rejects defense in Israeli flag assault case

 

According to court filings, Ali approached Sumrall from behind while she was isolated from her group and yanked on the flag, causing brief choking, pain, and disorientation.

 

A US federal court in Washington ruled that intentionally attacking a Jewish individual for wearing an Israeli flag constitutes direct evidence of racial discrimination under a post-Civil War statute.

 

United States District Judge Trevor N. McFadden issued the memorandum order in the case of Sumrall v. Ali, denying a motion to dismiss brought by Janine Ali against plaintiff Kimmara Sumrall.

 

The litigation stems from an incident in November 2024 at a demonstration outside the Dirksen Senate Office Building, where Sumrall, a Jewish-American woman, wore an Israeli flag tied around her neck as a cape.

 

According to court filings, Ali approached Sumrall from behind while she was isolated from her group and yanked on the flag, causing brief choking, pain, and disorientation. US Capitol Police Officer Reed Bonney intervened and arrested Ali at the scene.

A whistleblower has come forward to claim the Trump admin had "predetermined" the outcomes of their "anti-Semitism" shakedown "investigations" targeting Ivy League universities.

 

The Trump admin shook down Columbia for $221 million and Brown for $50 million.

 

Brown was made to adopt DEI programs only for Jews and scrap their DEI programs for everyone else (yes, you read that right).

 

Columbia was made to pay out $21 million to Jewish or Israeli employees who "faced a hostile work environment" or "harassment" following the Oct 7 attacks.

 

"In the case of Brown, investigators, including [whistleblower Ms. Haley Van Erem], were told in April 2025 of a plan to 'systematically interview Middle East studies professors, particularly Muslim faculty' to see if they would say anything that could be labeled antisemitic, the document states," NYT notes.

Federal Grand Jury Indicts Ex-Teacher and Former State Legislator on Child Sexual Exploitation, Enticement and Witness Tampering Charges

 

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – United States Attorney Moore Capito announced today that a federal grand jury indicted David Elliott Pritt, 36, of Oak Hill, on three felony counts alleging sexual exploitation of a child, coercion and enticement of a child, and tampering with a witness, victim, or informant.

 

The indictment alleges that from in or about March 2024 through in or about January 2026, Pritt attempted to and did persuade, induce, entice, and coerce a minor female to engage in sexually explicit conduct, and from in or about June 2025 through in or about January 2026 did so for the purpose of producing visual depictions of such sexually explicit conduct using the internet and cellular networks. The indictment further alleges that on or about June 20, 2026, Pritt attempted to intimidate and corruptly persuade the minor female with the intent to hinder, delay, and prevent the communication of information relating to the commission and possible commission of a federal crime to a law enforcement officer.

 

Pritt was arrested on July 22, 2026, following an investigation. At the time of the alleged offenses, Pritt was employed as a teacher with Fayette County Schools and represented a Fayette County district in the West Virginia House of Delegates. Following his arrest, Pritt resigned from the West Virginia Legislature and the Fayette County Board of Education suspended and then terminated his employment. An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

 

“With West Virginia’s children returning to school this month, now is another opportunity for parents and caregivers to have those important conversations with their kids,” Capito said. “Our children need to know that they can safely report and talk about any situation that potentially involves grooming, inappropriate behavior, or abuse.”

 

Capito also continued to encourage anyone with information relevant to this case to contact the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office at (304) 574-4268.
