Ken Dilanian has admitted the "Patel in Russia" scoop isn't real, but, of course, he had to pat himself on the back while doing so, "I want to correct reporting from earlier today. I reported that two sources had told us that FBI director Kash Patel had landed in Russia for a planned trip that had been reported about recently. We've since learned that Patel did not, in fact, land in Russia today and remains in the U.S. ...The timing of any potential trip remains unclear. Again, we regret this error and we are transparent about when we make errors. Back to you."

NEW: @ChuckGrassley Reveals Jack Smith Probe Collected Data on 639,000 Republicans, cites lawful whistleblower disclosures and subpoenas - Names - DOB - Physical addresses, occupation, place of employment - Individual political registration: Republican - Donor Analysis Data (frequency) + donor amounts - As one example, the attached memo shows the GOP donor contributed in 2005 and 2020 Grassley: “This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data – and voter data – beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate." NOTE: The new data revealed by Grassley should not be seen in isolation. It was part of overarching investigative strategy by the Special Counsel. Special Counsel Jack Smith's "Pen Register" collection of @SusieWiles47 phone data in 2023 combined with lawmaker communications + journalists opened the door to mapping the Trump campaign and defense team. While the contents of the calls were not collected, it was a sweeping collection operation. Smith's supporters call it an aggressive criminal investigation. His critics label it the "Jack Smith Dragnet," and characterize the data collection on GOP voters and donors as an abuse of process and power. Link to FULL Grassley memo in the thread: 👇

EXCLUSIVE: "I had a lot of evidence to back up my claim." For the first time, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial, Michael Desronvil, is speaking out about the tense deliberations in the high profile case, revealing to @kayleighmcenany that he had no reasonable doubt about his position. After 38 hours of deliberations, Desronvil found himself at odds with 11 other jurors who believed Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, in an exclusive interview, he opens up about the tension inside the jury room and why he's keeping some of his evidence to himself. Kayleigh's full interview airs tomorrow on @foxandfriends at 8am ET. | @SatAmericaFNC

🚨 JUST NOW: Legal expert Jonathan Turley says that Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar might actually face MORE LEGAL ISSUES for CONCEALMENT — because she is a member of Congress and has been a candidate for office IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER! "The warrant apparently refers also to a conspiracy, which is the darling of prosecutors, and that may be referring to what they allege to be a knowing effort to conceal these facts." "Omar's actually greater risk in terms of legal complications because she is a member of Congress and has been a candidate for office...That status requires her to fill out forms on a regular basis that may make reference to some of these facts...That exposes her to possible charges." Every member of Congress signs financial disclosures and other official forms, year after year. If any of them contain false information, every single one can become a legal problem! The NYT reports the warrant lists false statements, immigration fraud, and conspiracy. And her sister has now been subpoenaed, per new reports from TONIGHT So her case might now be immigration and a COVERUP.

BREAKING: A Saudi national/OpenAI employee has been arrested by the FBI after he was allegedly caught placing an eavesdropping/audio recording device inside of OpenAI’s executive conference room in San Francisco, CA. Feds say Abdulrahman Alfozan made his first appearance in federal court today. OpenAI says they immediately contacted the FBI after they discovered the device & are grateful the feds made a quick arrest. Alfozan was caught on CCTV cameras at OpenAI. From the complaint: “Alfozan had been employed as an engineer by the company identified as “Company 1” since July 2025. On or about Sept. 30, Company 1 personnel discovered a surreptitious audio recording device (Recording Device 1) inserted into a USB port on the back of a television in an executive conference room inside one of Company 1’s buildings in San Francisco.
