Dan Bongino Confirms FBI Is Reviewing White House Cocaine, SCOTUS Leak, Jan. 6 Pipe Bombs

Dan Bongino Confirms FBI Is Reviewing White House Cocaine, SCOTUS Leak, Jan. 6 Pipe Bombs

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced the agency is now reviewing three high-profile cases under the Biden-Harris administration which had previously gone unresolved, including the January 6 pipe bomb incident, the 2022 Supreme Court draft opinion leak, and the cocaine discovery inside the White House.

In a post on X, Bongino revealed that he and FBI Director Kash Patel made the decision “to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”

The news follows increased scrutiny from lawmakers and the public over the lack of resolution in each of the investigations.

“I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” Bongino stated.

The FBI deputy director also urged the public to assist in the investigations by submitting any relevant information or tips directly to the agency.

January 6 Pipe Bomb Case

The first case being reviewed involves the pipe bombs discovered at the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters on January 6, 2021.

Surveillance footage shows an unidentified individual placing the bombs near the buildings the night before.

Despite years of investigation, no arrests have been made, raising concerns about transparency and thoroughness.

Supreme Court Leak

The second case centers on the leak of a draft opinion in the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.

The leaked draft, published by Politico in 2022, revealed that the Court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, which it officially did the following month.

The leak sparked protests outside the homes of several justices and led to an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

In 2023, the Court announced that its internal investigation failed to identify the leaker.

White House Cocaine Discovery

The third unresolved case occurred in July 2023, when the Secret Service found a small bag of cocaine inside the White House.

The discovery came shortly after Hunter Biden, the president’s son, had visited the building.

Despite Hunter’s well-documented history of cocaine addiction, the Secret Service closed its investigation without identifying a suspect.

At the time, President Trump demanded transparency over how cocaine was discovered inside one of the most secure buildings in the world.

FBI Reform Teams Expanding

Bongino also confirmed that the FBI is expanding its internal reform teams.

“We will have new hires for our reform teams on board by next week,” he wrote. “This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda.”

Ex-Obama Insider Breaks Silence: Biden’s Decline Was “Obvious” But Hidden for Political Gain

Ex-Obama Insider Breaks Silence: Biden’s Decline Was ‘Obvious’ But Hidden for Political Gain

Former Obama aide and “Pod Save America” co-host Jon Lovett admitted on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast that despite his concern over Joe Biden‘s obvious mental decline, he kept silent because he *“wanted him to fking win.”***

Lovett told Stewart and Jon Favreau that he held his tongue over Biden’s decline even though it was blatantly obvious.

“I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president,’” Lovett said.

A, because I didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but B, if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to fu**ng win.”*

Lovett went on to explain that speaking up would have benefited Biden’s political opponents, like Donald Trump.

However, he kept quiet to avoid “having the words we’re saying taken out of context and all of a sudden be part of the case against Joe Biden from the right — that would use any person criticizing Joe Biden from the left as a weapon against him.”

“So it was about being honest about Joe Biden’s age as a liability while knowing that if he is the nominee, I want to be clear that I thought it was important to make sure we did everything we could to reelect him,” Lovett added.

The host becomes the latest Democrat to admit he has concerns over Biden’s decline, following the release of Original Sin, a book co-authored by Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson that details the alleged cover-up surrounding Biden’s health.

Lovett is featured in Original Sin, where he and his co-hosts met with Biden at the White House on April 26, 2024.

The hosts reportedly left the meeting feeling “deeply disturbed” after discussions with Biden, describing the president’s comments as rambling and “incoherent.”

Joe Scarborough Forced to Watch His Own Biden Lies During Brutal Interview

/
    Joe Scarborough Forced to Watch His Own Biden Lies During Brutal Interview

    “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was forced to explain why, in March 2024, he told the world that, after talking with President Joe Biden for hours, “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

    Note: Scarborough had never watched the most infamous clip of himself—until now.

    During a cringeworthy interview with political journalist Mark Halperin, the MSNBC host was confronted with the reality of his own propagandist reporting.

    Watch:

    Below is the viral clip in which Scarborough strongly defends Biden, declaring:
    “F-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually and analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

    Watch:

    “I’ve said it for years now, he’s cogent. But I undersold it when I said he was cogent, he’s far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he’s better than he’s ever been, intellectually, analytically, because he’s been around for 50 years,” Scarborough said.

    “Start your tape right now because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

    Three months later, “the best Biden” looked like this:

    Watch:

    During the interview, Scarborough insisted he had never seen Biden on a “bad day” personally.

    Halperin pushed back: “Well, you did! You did, because you saw him address a dead congresswoman, and you saw him in South Carolina.”

    Halperin argued he could show Scarborough several clips that contradicted his bold claim. Scarborough quickly pivoted the conversation to Trump.

    Scarborough argued:

    “He stumbled and bumbled around, Mark. I mean, yeah, he certainly did. Donald Trump did, other politicians did, and it’s actually the same case as a lot of times when I’ve gone in and talked to Donald Trump.

    We go on to Donald Trump, and I’ve heard the media narrative around Donald Trump, and certainly I’ve been very critical of Donald Trump, and when I leave, I have a better understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of weeks ago, a better understanding of where Donald Trump is mentally, if Donald Trump is losing it, like people have said through the years or not.”

    “And so again, am I going to look at a clip that’s gone viral and pay more attention to that than two and a half, three hours I had with a guy one-on-one going around the world? No, I’m just not going to,” the MSNBC host said.

    “Are some of the clips bad? Yeah, they certainly are bad.”

    “Put into proper context, I’m just not going to freak out and melt down on one or two clips here and there,” the Morning Joe host added. “And again he bumbled around, and he stumbled around, but he has for quite some time. That didn’t seem to me to get in the way of Joe Biden being able to analyze the most important issues..”

    ICE Deportations Linked to Massive 60% Drop in Denver Homicides, Report Shows

    ICE Deportations Linked to Massive 60% Drop in Denver Homicides, Report Shows

    Denver, the liberal ‘sanctuary city’ of Colorado, is seeing a large drop in homicides following the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants by ICE under President Donald Trump.

    Denver and other Colorado cities are now reporting a 60 percent reduction in homicides as deportation efforts continue.

    Homicides Down 60% in Denver, Police Confirm

    FOX 31 in Denver reports: Newly released report says homicides dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025.

    Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

    It’s a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.

    “Violent crime is just about reducing in every city, but we were the city in which it had declined the most,” said Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas.

    Thomas says he is proud to have that distinction, and it speaks to the hard work of his officers.

    “We’ve been able to see these significant reductions in crime without over policing communities,” said Thomas.

    “It’s one of the things we have understood was important and we need to be responsive, but we need to make sure we’re investing as much as we’re enforcing.”

    Trump-Era ICE Enforcement is Working

    Independent journalist Sara Carter commented:

    “This marked decrease in violence comes after intensified immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, which had made the Denver metropolitan area a key focus for removals of criminal migrants.

    ICE has acted swiftly, arresting 538 illegal aliens across multiple cities, including Denver. Shortly thereafter, the agency expanded its efforts in Colorado, zeroing in on members of Tren de Aragua.

    Breitbart News reports that despite these federal initiatives, local Democratic leaders resisted cooperation with ICE.

    Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Governor Jared Polis were among those who worked to oppose the administration’s actions, which prompted the Trump administration to initiate legal action against Denver and state officials for obstructing federal immigration enforcement.”

    Media Silence

    While the figures should be headline news, left-wing media outlets are downplaying the achievement.

    After all, what could be worse for them than proving that Trump’s policies work?

    RFK Jr. Silences Bonnie Watson Coleman After Heated Race-Baiting Rant: “My Time Has Expired”

    RFK Jr. Silences Bonnie Watson Coleman After Heated Race-Baiting Rant: "My Time Has Expired"

    Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) launched a heated and hate-filled tirade against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on Wednesday.

    Coleman, one of the three Democratic congressmembers who stormed the Delaney Hall Detention Center in New Jersey last week, accused the Trump administration of “attempting to legitimize racial discrimination” and charged Kennedy with spreading “the lie that [Trump] cares about me and black people.”

    Struggling to deliver her racially charged statements, Coleman repeatedly interrupted Kennedy throughout the exchange, denying him the opportunity to respond.

    Her aggressive tone escalated, and at times she was nearly shouting over Kennedy as she continued her barrage of accusations.

    Despite the interruptions, RFK Jr. delivered a sharp retort that ended the heated back-and-forth. “My time has expired,” he said, cutting through the tension with a calm but firm statement.

    Caught off guard, Coleman stammered in response, “Well, then so has your legitimacy!”

    Watch:

    Read the exchange below:

    Coleman: Mr. Secretary, few things enrage me more than the racist attacks I see this administration carrying out by embarking on an ignorant crusade to rid the government of any programs that are working to improve the lives of black Americans. The administration has moved to ban the words black, race, bias, minority, oppression, prejudice, discrimination, disparity, and racism. Any grant application on federal programs that include these words had them immediately stripped. It is painfully clear to me that this— in doing this, this administration that you work with and work for is attempting to legitimize racial discrimination, and that, sir, is a moral disgrace. It is not woke to improve the health and well being of black people who just are dis— dis— despairingly im— im— impacted by just about every health issue. It should not be controversial to make right a health care system that was not built to help people like me, to take my concerns, my pain, my health very seriously in this country. Black women die from childbirth complications at a higher rate in this country than any other high income country, and last year, where there was overall maternal deaths dropping in this country, well, black women maternal deaths rose. This sickens me, and it tells me that our government has so much more that we must do to focus on improving the lives of black women, not less. Your decision and justifications are damning and troubling, particularly for destructive impacts your choices and benefits will have on poor minority people. So, tell me, sir, how will eliminating minority health offices, how will eliminating initiatives and programs across the department that were created to look at the disparity in healthcare and the need to give greater attention to the fact that black folks experience in health care was very damaging, was very different. How exactly will HHS banning the words that we use to describe ourselves, make us healthier?

    Kennedy: Congressman, President Trump’s vision of this country is the same as Martin Luther King’s that we should have a color blind administration. President Trump is deeply concerned about the maternal health crisis and the fact that black mothers are more likely to die in childbirth, 2.6 times, 260%

    Coleman: Excuse me, sir, let me claim my time because I don’t need this rhetoric about Donald Trump and the lie that he cares about me and black people. What I want to know is the proposal—

    Kennedy: I was answering your question Congresswoman.

    Coleman: I’m claiming my time, sir, reclaiming it. I want to know, specifically, how do you intend to address those disparities and to overcome those disparities, as it relates to black health in this country, with the changes that you decided are important or someone has decided for you, I don’t know, with your department, specifically, sir?

    Kennedy: I’ve spent a lifetime working on those priorities, and I continue to do so. We have eight divisions, eight programs for Minority Health at HHS. We closed one of those offices. We’re maintaining the other seven. We have 42 programs for maternal health. We’re going to close a couple of them and consolidate them. We’re going to still spend $1.7 billion a year. The commitment is there. We’re just reorganizing.

    Coleman: Okay, you know what? The impact of reorganization is something that I shall continually ask you to show me. So, please, let me warn you now—

    Kennedy: I welcome those inquiries.

    Coleman: And I don’t want rhetoric. I want numbers. The other thing that really troubles me, sir, is LIHEAP. It is a program specifically to address the needs of low income and minority families as it relates to heating and even air conditioning. Why? Why? Why? Why? And what is your rationale for eliminating that program? Specifically? Why? Why? Why?

    Kennedy: I’m very committed to LIHEAP. My brother ran a low—

    Coleman: I don’t care about your past. I care about your functioning in this department, in this administration, right now, in response to this question!

    Kennedy: My time has expired.

    Coleman: Well, then So has your legitimacy! I yield back.

    Gabbard Slams Biden-Era Domestic Terrorism Strategy as “Authoritarian Overreach”

    /
    Gabbard Slams Biden-Era Domestic Terrorism Strategy as ‘Authoritarian Overreach’

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the mentality under Biden—where conservatives and citizens with dissenting views were treated like domestic terrorists—was an “abuse of power.”

    Gabbard signaled that a 2021 memo empowering the FBI to probe Americans for “concerning non-criminal behavior” is no longer operative.

    She said she has ended the domestic terrorism approach of the Biden administration, which was used to justify the targeting of conservative Catholics, gun enthusiasts, and parents who protested school board policies.

    According to officials, domestic terrorism was recently removed as a top threat from the intelligence community’s national threat assessment, marking a first step in that transition.

    Just The News reports:

    Gabbard’s statement came after Just the News reported last week that a June 2021 domestic terrorism policy memo empowered federal agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security Department to open probes on Americans solely if an agent believed they had been involved in “concerning non-criminal behavior.”

    The policy, which was shielded from Americans’ view because the document was mostly classified during the Biden years, substantially lowered the decades-long standard that agents opening a probe must have a predicate based on a reasonable factual basis that a crime has been committed.

    The FBI and DHS were allowed by Biden to open a probe based on a mere concern and without the behavior having to be criminal in nature.

    After Gabbard declassified the memo this spring, legal experts and members of Congress raised serious concerns about the change, warning it threatened Americans’ rights and civil liberties. Gabbard signaled in her statement to Just the News that she shared those concerns.

    “Disguised as an attempt to curb ‘domestic terrorism,’ Biden’s plan actually functioned as a partisan playbook on how the Biden Administration would weaponize government and intelligence against everyday Americans whose ‘offense’ was supporting President Trump, or daring to disagree with or oppose their policies,” the Trump administration’s top intelligence official said.

    “To ensure transparency and accountability, I declassified and released the document, so Americans could see the truth about the Biden Administration’s weaponization and politicization of our government against Americans. This abuse of power that violates our God-given freedoms and civil liberties must end,” Gabbard added.

    Officials confirmed the Trump administration has abandoned the tactics enumerated in the 2021 memo crafted by the Biden National Security Council.

    “The last administration appeared more focused on investigating Americans for their opinions than addressing actual criminal activity,” the FBI said in a statement from a spokesman.

    “Under new leadership, the Bureau is actively reviewing and revising its guidance to ensure our efforts are focused where they belong: on making America safe.”

    The directives provided to the Justice Department and FBI under President Joe Biden by the National Security Council said the agencies should “drive…executive and legislative action” to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, rein in “ghost guns,” monitor active-duty service members for possible terrorism recruitment and “mitigate xenophobia and bias.”

    The Biden policy also included a plan to counter “xenophobic disinformation” as a basis for investigation by creating the “Disinformation Governance Board” program under DHS that was discontinued in 2022, after being widely criticized as an ersatz “Ministry of Truth” established in the name of national security. Nina Jankowicz, selected to head the board, was widely mocked before the board was disbanded.

    For decades, FBI agents have been required to meet stringent requirements for opening criminal and national security investigations, known as a “predicate.”

    Before Biden’s term, the predicate for a full investigation required “an articulable factual basis” that “reasonably indicates” a crime or national security threat has or is about to occur, according to the Attorney General’s Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations.

    Lawmakers expressed disbelief that such a change impacting civil liberties was made by Gabbard with so little notice, praising President Donald Trump and Gabbard for declassifying and releasing the memo.

    “It’s not surprising. But you’re right. It is shocking,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the powerful Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Just the News.

    Paraphrasing former President Barack Obama, Johnson said, “And again, elections have consequences, and in this case, it’s a very good consequence that now this is coming to light.

    “I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard looking up exactly what happened and releasing this information. It’s important the American public understands what government does to it, how it tramples on our constitutional rights,” he added.

    JD Vance Shuts Down Biden’s Criticism on Russia: “It’s Rich Coming From Him”

    JD Vance Shuts Down Biden’s Criticism on Russia: “It’s Rich Coming From Him”

    Vice President JD Vance fired back at former President Joe Biden after his criticism of the Trump administration’s approach to the Ukraine-Russia war.

    Vance responded to Biden telling the BBC that the infamous White House meeting—where he and President Donald Trump clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over ending the conflict—was “beneath America.” Biden also claimed that Trump’s approach to Russia was “modern-day appeasement.”

    “I think it’s rich for Joe Biden to comment on anything we’re doing when it comes to Russia and Ukraine because of course under Biden’s administration, Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine,” Vance said to The Story anchor Martha MacCallum on Fox News.

    “If we wanted to take advice from anybody on foreign policy, especially foreign policy in Europe, it would not be Joe Biden,” Vance continued. “So I wish Joe Biden the best. I don’t really care what he has to say about American foreign policy because so much of what he actually did was a total disaster.”

    Watch:

    He added: “If we just did the opposite of what Joe Biden did, I think we’d have one of the most successful foreign policy administrations in a very long time. So he can spend his time on the beach or doing whatever Joe Biden does. We’ll continue trying to fix the problems that he created.”

    Using his signature “I really don’t care” line, Vance concluded that nobody cares what a senile former president thinks.

    Later that day, Trump provided an update on his administration’s ongoing efforts to resolve the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Writing on Truth Social, he stated:

    “Talks with Russia/Ukraine continue. The U.S. calls for, ideally, a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. Hopefully, an acceptable ceasefire will be observed, and both Countries will be held accountable for respecting the sanctity of these direct negotiations. If the ceasefire is not respected, the U.S. and its partners will impose further sanctions.”

    “Thousands of young soldiers are dying on a weekly basis, and everybody should want it to STOP. I do, and the United States of America does, also.”

    “As President, I will stay committed to securing Peace between Russia and Ukraine, together with the Europeans, and a Lasting Peace it will be!

    This ceasefire must ultimately build toward a Peace Agreement.

    It can all be done very quickly, and I will be available on a moment’s notice if my services are needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

    Trump Plans to Drop Biden’s Classified Docs Interview Audio Before FOIA Deadline

    Trump Plans to Drop Biden’s Classified Docs Interview Audio Before FOIA Deadline

    Trump administration officials are preparing to release the unredacted recording of Hur’s interview with Joe Biden, in which he explained how documents containing classified national secrets were piled up in his home garage.

    The interview, based on transcripts released the following March, indicated that Biden had no idea how the productions got there and appeared confused.

    Hur even declined to bring charges against Biden, concluding that a jury would be sympathetic to a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

    The description of Biden as a frail and forgetful 81-year-old became one of the devastating blows that ended his reelection campaign.

    Democrats have since blocked the release of the tapes, but they may finally see the light of day.

    The interview also destroyed the media narrative that Biden had the mental stamina to serve another four years in the world’s most demanding job.

    While the details of the pending release are still in flux, the Biden camp is preparing for a major confrontation.

    The decision of whether to release the tapes also operates under a deadline set by a Freedom of Information Act request filed by conservative legal groups, set for May 20.

    The Justice Department has been ordered by a judge to declare whether it still stands by that decision.

    At the time, Biden’s administration argued that the policy would chill witnesses participating in other high-profile federal investigations.

    Republicans have long sought access to the tapes, which they say further elucidate the mental decline Biden suffered from and which members of his administration covered up.

    “The Hur audio will confirm what is one of the biggest cover ups in American history,” Mike Davis, an occasional advisor to President Donald Trump, told the outlet.

    While House Republicans don’t appear to be part of the group pushing for the tapes’ release, Democrats at the time fought against the release of the tapes and accused the GOP of seeking to spin the audio into attack ads the following year.

    As we reported in 2023, the transcript for Special Counsel Bob Hur’s interview with Biden showed the president made “car noises” before wandering off-topic about a man losing his penis and testicles.

    “And the worst part was, they said I couldn’t drive it outside the driveway. It’s a long driveway. So I’d get to the bottom of the driveway, tack it up to about four grand (indiscernible) (makes car sound) (indiscernible) (laughter),” it quoted Biden.

    Secret Service Agent Pushes Back Man Who Approached Ivanka Trump

    Secret Service Agent Pushes Back Man Who Approached Ivanka Trump – WATCH

    Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, were startled when an unidentified man rushed toward them Sunday night in South Beach, Florida.

    Secret Service agents quickly intervened, pushing the man back and ensuring the couple’s safety.

    The incident occurred as the former first daughter and her husband were walking toward their vehicle after a night out.

    Video footage shows a disheveled man approaching Ivanka, only to be immediately intercepted by a Secret Service agent.

    While the man’s intentions remain unclear, he engaged in a brief scuffle with the agent, attempting to bypass the security blockade.

    The agent responded by forcefully pushing him away.

    “A Secret Service agent wasn’t taking any chances last night. It appears that the agent believed a man got too close to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump as they were leaving an event in South Beach and aggressively pushed him away,” reporter Crabtree wrote in a post on X alongside the video.

    “The man then complained and appeared to grab the agent. Some Secret Service agents say this is an example of an agent getting too rough with the public, and a possible indication of worktime stress as many USSS agents details are continuing to be stretched thin with long hours, including on VP Vance’s detail,” she added.

    “Yet, such an aggressive push may not be that uncommon. I, too, have been pushed forcefully aside when I thought I was minding my own business. I was up in the hall near the press gallery — and the USSS agents were clearing the way for First Lady Michelle Obama to come through before a SOTU. I was shaken up a little, but understood that the agents are on high alert on nights like those,” she said.

    Watch:

    “I’m also used to getting pushed and shoved from very aggressive photographers, cameramen and women on Capitol Hill and at the White House, so I sort of view it as a cost of doing business in D.C. journalism,” Crabtree concluded.

    The viral video serves as a stark reminder that even members of a presidential family remain vulnerable to public confrontations.

    Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have stepped away from politics in recent years.

    “I love my father very much. This time around I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” Ivanka said in early 2022.

    The couple, who now reside in Florida, share three children and have focused on their family life since leaving Washington.

    Trump Puts RINO Senators on Blast Over Opposition to Ed Martin’s Confirmation

    Trump Puts RINO Senators on Blast Over Opposition to Ed Martin’s Confirmation

    President Donald Trump weighed in on a reported plot by a group of Republican senators to derail the nomination of Ed Martin, the president’s pick for the critical role of D.C. U.S. Attorney.

    On January 20, Martin was appointed to his current position.

    He serves a unique role as District Attorney for the District of Columbia, where he prosecutes both federal and local crimes in the D.C. area.

    His predecessor, Matthew Graves, used the position to arrest hundreds of Trump supporters in relation to the January 6 Capitol protests.

    Many of those arrested were sentenced to lengthy federal prison terms for nonviolent conduct.

    Martin’s interim appointment is set to expire on May 20, the maximum 120-day limit.

    If he is not confirmed by then, the authority to appoint a replacement falls to the anti-Trump U.S. District Court. Chief Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, would oversee that process.

    Despite the importance of the position, several Republican senators have signaled opposition to Martin’s confirmation. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) raised concerns about Martin’s advocacy for January 6 political prisoners.

    Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has not committed to supporting the nominee, stating, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

    Additional senators who have yet to endorse Martin’s nomination include Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Curtis (R-UT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).

    President Trump urged Republican senators to confirm Martin in a Truth Social post, emphasizing the nominee’s vital role in advancing his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.

    “According to many but, in particular, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., his approval is IMPERATIVE in terms of doing all that has to be done to SAVE LIVES and to, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN,” the president wrote.

    “This is a passion for Ed, more so than for almost anyone that I have seen. One of the reasons that I was so successful in winning the 2024 Presidential Election is my commitment to Health, and helping to Make America Healthy.

    The Cost of the Chronic Disease Epidemic has gotten out of control over the past four years of the Biden Presidency. We are going to take our Country BACK, and FAST.”

    Trump concluded by urging Republicans to support Martin’s confirmation:

    “When some day in the future you look back at your Vote for Ed Martin, you will be very proud of what you have done for America and America’s Health. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
