A photograph taken in the Oval Office of the White House, decorated with gold drapery, presidential and military service flags, and gold-trimmed ceiling molding. A man resembling Donald Trump sits behind the ornate wooden Resolute-style desk, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red tie, hands clasped on the desk. He is surrounded by five older women standing/seated around the desk, dressed in various patterned cardigans, blazers, and floral tops. The desk holds two large closed hardcover books/binders (one appears titled "The White House"), a small clock, and other desktop items. Behind them are American flags, service branch flags, a bust/statue, and a window looking out onto greenery.

A news-style photo taken inside a gilded room (resembling the White House Oval Office/reception area), decorated with ornate gold-framed portrait paintings on cream-colored walls and gold furnishings. In the foreground, a man in a dark navy suit (with dark hair, seen mostly from behind/side, resembling Marco Rubio) leans down to shake hands with an elderly woman with styled reddish-blonde hair, wearing a black cardigan with floral embroidery, a pearl necklace, and dark bracelets, seated on a cream sofa. She is smiling broadly during the handshake. Behind her stands a woman in a black dress with a neon green sash/tie detail, also smiling. In the background at right, other attendees are visible: a man wearing a dark yarmulke and dark suit, and a woman in a pale yellow outfit. A small circular inset photo/video thumbnail appears in the lower left corner showing a person walking on an outdoor boardwalk/trail through greenery, with a small pink/red heart icon overlaid near it. A speaker/volume icon appears in the lower right corner, indicating this is a video post on a social media platform.

Yeah, so that famous photograph, what we have now learned and the government has had Jack Smith and his prosecutors have had to admit that that was staged and those top secret classified sheets that all the public saw and said, "Oh my God, look at those top secret documents." Those were placed there by the FBI. What Jack Smith admitted in court this week was that in his word, they mishandled the classified documents and misrepresented those to the court. Maria, that's a kind way of saying, "We tampered with the evidence. Then we lied to the court about it." They got caught when President Trump's lawyers and the other co-defendants raised this issue and said, "Look, the documents here don't match up. The documents that were presented to us don't match the digitally scanned records of when they were taken from Mar-a-Lago." Jack Smith, not only did they tamper with that and lie to the court about it, but he's now admitted to the court that he doesn't know how that happened. He's only offered a number of possible explanations for how that could have happened. So he's absolutely blown the chain of custody. And again, he has a prosecutor, lead prosecutor in this case, Jay Bratt, who met with White House counsel and a representative of the National Archives several times in the weeks before Jack Smith was even appointed. This reeks of crossfire hurricane when the Obama-Biden administration fabricated evidence before the FISA court, lied to the court about it to pursue Donald Trump. And now we're seeing it again in this classified documents case. The judge could dismiss this case at any point in time, Maria. I think the only reason-

You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every day under the Biden administration to look at what new crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a problem that didn't even exist. I mean our constant friction at Citadel with the government across umpteen different aspects of our business was exhausting and to have that literally end on one day election day just gives you so much energy as an offshore to go back and build your damn business. So the the biggest sea change I've seen across American executives has been just like the the giant sigh of relief. I can now go and focus on building my business and that prior administration you know we happen to be a creditor of spirit. Their merger with with JetBlue was stopped. Spirits and bankruptcy today. There were so many decisions that were so so poorly thought out in terms of economic consequences it cost the U.S. economy dearly. I cannot emphasize that enough and so the Trump administration is making slow progress on deregulation thus far but the end of the regulatory onslaught has been just an extraordinary boom for American business.

A scanned/screenshotted official letter on U.S. Department of Justice letterhead, from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, dated August 12, 2026, addressed to the Council of the District of Columbia at the John A. Wilson Building. It has a DOJ seal in the top left. The letter defends the deployment of the National Guard and a "D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force" in D.C. since August 11, 2025, criticizes the Council's letter to state governors asking them to remove National Guard troops, and argues crime in D.C. was a severe problem before the deployment, citing a 2023 quote from D.C. Councilmember Trayon White calling D.C. "clearly in a war zone," and a July 2026 DOJ Inspector General report about D.C. police crime-reporting controls. The letter includes three footnotes citing sources: a WTOP news article and the DOJ Inspector General report.

Text in image: U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Deputy Attorney General Washington, D.C. 20530 August 12, 2026 Council of the District of Columbia John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20004 Dear Councilmembers, I am not surprised that your recent letter to state governors regarding the National Guard feigns ignorance of the historic public safety strides made in our Nation's capital since August 11, 2025. I am surprised and saddened, however, that you would show such callousness—instead of compassion and care—toward your constituents, who now live in a city with far less violence and fear thanks to the National Guard and the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force (the "Task Force"). Let me be clear, your council has no power to demand that governors remove their brave men and women serving in uniform in our Nation's capital. Your politically-motivated letter is impotent theatrics not worth the paper it's written on, and D.C. is a much safer place no matter what you say. Because you refuse to speak the truth about the life-preserving work of the Task Force, the truth will speak for itself. For far too long, violence became an epidemic in D.C., with residents and visitors facing almost unbelievable homicide rates. Murder became commonplace and, tragically, expected. The situation became so dire that, in August 2023, D.C. Councilmember Trayon White—ironically, a signatory to your letter to the governors—publicly declared that D.C. was "clearly in a war zone," and suggested deployment of the National Guard to stem the violence.¹ "One of the biggest thing[s] they could provide is presence," White said. "The issue right now in our community is that you hear it over and over again, we don't have enough officers. We don't have enough resources."² After White's remarks, the city continued to experience the horrific consequences of this public safety crisis, with bloody month after bloody month. At the same time, carjackings and other violent crimes also skyrocketed in D.C.—and there is substantial reason to believe that crime was being undercounted.³ ¹ Kate Ryan, 'We are clearly in a war zone': DC Council member calls on National Guard to fight city violence, (Aug. 9, 2023), https://wtop.com/dc/2023/08/we-are-clearly-in-a-war-zone-dc-council-to-national-guard-to-fighting-city-violence/. ² Id. ³ On July 28, 2026, the Office of the Inspector General for the District of Columbia issued a report finding that "MPD's crime reporting controls broke down significantly" between 2015 and 2025.

A screenshot of a portion of an official letter (missing its opening/header), appearing to be a response from the D.C. Office of the Deputy Attorney General, signed by Colin M. McDonald, addressed to what seems to be a D.C. Council member. The letter defends the deployment of the National Guard and federal law enforcement resources in Washington, D.C. under President Trump's crime emergency declaration of August 11, 2025, crediting them with reduced violent crime, arrests, recovery of missing children, and confiscation of firearms, and pushes back against the recipient calling Guard members "outside military forces." Two footnotes at the bottom cite an MPD 2025 Annual Report on staffing declines and an Executive Order (No. 14,333, 90 Fed. Reg. 39,301, Aug. 11, 2025).

Text in image: Notably, directly coinciding with the assistance of the National Guard, the murder rate dropped substantially. To date, D.C. has seen the largest reduction in violent crime in the history of the city, record safety and security for residents and tourists alike, the complete rehabilitation and beautification of the city's history, monuments, and public spaces, and a total revitalization of the capital's commercial and downtown regions. You might pretend violent crime isn't down in D.C. or act like the cause is unknown.⁴ But the public knows the city is safer. And honest people know why: on August 11, 2025, President Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C. and directed significant federal resources to protect life and liberty in our Nation's capital.⁵ The results have been historic drops in violence. The National Guard has played a pivotal role in that effort as part of the Task Force by increasing officer visibility, supporting life-saving law enforcement operations, protecting critical infrastructure, and providing reassurance to all law-abiding people. Thanks to courageous and steadfast support from National Guard units, Task Force members have conducted thousands of arrests, located lost and missing children, and taken substantial numbers of illegal firearms off the city's streets. The National Guard has personally intervened in numerous assaults and provided medical aid on innumerable occasions, including repeatedly administering life-saving NARCAN to citizens in peril. The men and women of the National Guard represent the best our country has to offer. They are serving selflessly, away from their homes and families, to restore safety to our Nation's capital and ensure residents, workers, and tourists alike can enjoy the beauty this city has to offer. While you slander these men and women as "outside military forces," I refer to them as true American heroes. I am proud to stand with President Trump to ensure the security and beauty of our Nation's capital, and welcome the D.C. Council's support in that mission. Regardless, the D.C. Council has no role in managing the brave men and women protecting our Nation's capital. You should withdraw your letters and dedicate your remaining time in public service to correcting D.C.'s laws to ensure criminals are punished and the public is protected—not the other way around. My office is available to assist you in this regard. Sincerely, [handwritten signature] Colin M. McDonald Office of the Deputy Attorney General ⁴ Despite the implication in your letter, the marked decline in crime is not because the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has replenished its ranks. On the contrary, in its 2025 annual report, MPD identified the "continued downward slide in sworn staffing" as a "persistent obstacle to [its] ability to serve the District of Columbia at full strength," and sounded the alarm that "fiscal year 2025 marked the seventh year in a row with separations outpacing new hires."

A screenshot of a social media post (X/Twitter) from a user named "Matt Van Swol" (@mattvanswol), with a blue verified checkmark, posted 1:08 PM, Jul 14, 2026, with 562.3K views. The post is a lengthy text-only message criticizing the Republican Party (GOP) for failing to deliver on promised reforms following Trump's election, listing grievances such as lack of accountability, mass deportations, deficit reduction, DOGE cuts, and passage of the SAVE Act, and warning of a midterm backlash.

Text in image: Matt Van Swol ✓ @mattvanswol I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now. I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately pissed off. They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it. No true accountability. No true mass deportations. No meaningful decrease in the deficit. Lots of very long vacations and no work. No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives. I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don't see coming. People are pissed off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want. Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised? Where is the SAVE ACT? Why haven't we defunded the Taliban yet? Why are bills passing the House and then disappear in the Senate? Why are the GOP still funding Left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans? Why are members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations? People are waking up and they aren't happy about it. People believed they were voting for the Trump agenda. and instead, many feel like they're getting the same old Washington. If Republicans in Congress don't start producing tangible results, they're going to discover that frustration has consequences... ...And by the time they realize how deep-seeded that frustration is, it may already be too late. 1:08 PM · Jul 14, 2026 · 562.3K Views

I found that there were about 25,000 ballots that were not printed from the official Dominion PDF ballot. In other words, the printing process, appearance is completely different than what you would get from a first generation PDF printing. We had approximately 25,000 ballots that were not created from the PDF that is used for the election process. So in other words, the election provider comes up with ballots and it's specific to a geographical area because the person that lives in this neighborhood might not be voting for the same people that live in that neighborhood or another neighborhood. So here in Maricopa County, from memory, you had 5,012 or something like that, just over 5,000 different permutations and combinations to the ballots. Then that's multiplied by two because there's a Spanish version that's available for each one of these ballots, but it's the same ballot with the same people, just in a different language. So we've got five, we'll just say 5,000 different ballots for now that are created ahead of time and those are created in PDF. Now, the big reason why is that you have a third party send out mail-in ballot, so those have to be created in advance. And second, for your early voting, you have vote on demand. So in other words, even if I live way out in the corner of the county, but I work downtown, I could go to something downtown that could print my ballot from my area and I could vote here. It's convenient. A lot of people do that. These PDFs are created in advance. They're obviously good quality PDFs and when they're printed, they should look roughly or exactly the same. In this group of ballots, I find that the quality is severely degraded from what a PDF would be as if printed on demand or if printed by your third party provider who prints these all the time. I'm Eric Spikine. I'm a forensic chemist and a forensic document analyst. That means I deal with all aspects of question documents, when they were made, if they've been altered, changed or added to, and how long ink has been on paper. I was asked if I had experience in election matters to look at primarily printing processes, machine copied marks, CPS code, which is a counterfeit protection system. And I said that I did and I traveled to Arizona with three other people from my office that I had. Number one is that there were a series of ballots that I examined the photographs of and the minion as the election subcontractor produced ballots for each of the zones or districts that were involved, at least in the area that I looked at here in Maricopa County. And there were 5,000 approximately, a little over different ballots. As you know, in a state, there could be two different senator races. They could be 10 different house races and all the permutations and combinations is what gives you the 5,000. So they create a final ballot for each one of these districts or zones or regions so that when you go in and you give your name and it knows you're from this area, you would get this ballot to vote on all the issues that pertain to you and only the issues that pertain to you. And I found that there were about 25,000 ballots that were not printed from the official Dominion PDF ballot. In other words, the printing process, appearance is completely different than what you would get from a first generation PDF printing. As you can imagine, the lines are perfect. So they're perfectly straight, no breaks in them, the circles or ovals as they may be, and they're a solid line. When I examined some of the early voting ballots and election day ballots from various polling locations, there were about 25,000 that did not have printing from this perfect PDF, as you would expect, but instead had breaks in all the same places around an oval. So you can look at one of the ovals and there are imperfections in the line, and they're in the same place on every single one of these ballots. These 25,000 unidentifiable ballots alone represent over double the amount of Joe Biden's 10,457 vote mark. In July of 21, actually before that, we we told them in June, we told them that we suspected from what we're seeing 25,000 plus counterfeit inauthentic ballots. That was early on in the process. Again, because of propaganda by the GOP's attorney, the GOP, other conservative operatives, they planted the seed inside this that you can't trust that. No, that's not it, et cetera. You'll hear more about it. But every one of the people up there knew this in advance, even of this hearing today. Now, the reason I bring that up is they had well over a year and a half to react to this so it wouldn't be duplicated in 2022. But they didn't. They did nothing and they allowed it. They enabled this to be done again.
