Almost Three Minutes of Footage Are Missing From ‘Full Raw’ Epstein Video.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Metadata from surveillance footage of the facility where Jeffrey Epstein died shows nearly three minutes were trimmed, contradicting claims that the video was “full raw” and raising fresh doubts about the official narrative.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), WIRED, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and President Donald J. Trump

📍WHEN & WHERE: New York and Washington, D.C., July 2025

💬KEY QUOTE: “Refer you to the FBI.” – Natalie Baldassarre, DOJ Public Affairs Officer

🎯IMPACT: The edited footage, released amid rising demands for accountability, has reignited skepticism around Jeffrey Epstein’s death, and intensified calls for full disclosure in the Epstein investigation.

IN FULL

Newly revealed metadata shows that almost three minutes were removed from surveillance footage the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had described as “full raw” from outside pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell before he was found dead. Though the Trump administration released the video to demonstrate transparency, the findings have instead raised renewed concerns about potential omissions in critical evidence.

Forensic experts verified that the supposedly “raw” video was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro from two separate files. The first clip was shortened by nearly three minutes, ending precisely at 11:58:58 pm—just ahead of a known one-minute camera lapse attributed by officials to an automatic system reset. The second clip resumes at 12:00:00 am and continues through early morning. While DOJ officials maintain there was no tampering, the specific timing of the edit has drawn scrutiny.

A WIRED investigation confirmed that the video was saved and exported multiple times on May 23, 2025, between 4:48 PM and 8:16 PM. The footage includes internal markers used by analysts to flag notable moments, though the public version omits their descriptions. These flags correspond to movement near Epstein’s cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

A 2023 DOJ Inspector General report found that surveillance at the time of Epstein’s death was limited to two functioning cameras, both tied to outdated and unreliable systems. One captured common areas and stairwells near Epstein’s tier, but not the cell itself. Visibility of the stairway was also obstructed, and neither camera filmed directly inside the cell or at its door.

WIRED’s findings cast doubt on DOJ transparency under Attorney General Pam Bondi, and public pressure continues to mount for a complete and unaltered release of all surveillance evidence.

CBP Agents Discover Cocaine And Meth Being Smuggled In Children’s Game.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Philadelphia seized cocaine and methamphetamine hidden inside a children’s board game, “5 Second Rule, Jr,” on July 30. The drugs were concealed under a bag of cat food within the game box and were en route to London after being marked “return to sender.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

📍WHEN & WHERE: Area Port of Philadelphia, July 30, 2025

💬KEY QUOTE: “This seizure… illustrates how Customs and Border Protection officers expertly leverage our export enforcement mission to combat drug trafficking organizations,” said Cleatus P. Hunt, Jr., Area Port Director in Philadelphia.

🎯IMPACT: CBP officers and agents seize an average of 1,571 pounds of drugs daily across U.S. ports of entry.

IN FULL

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted cocaine and methamphetamine inside a children’s game in Philadelphia on July 30. Officers examined the package disguised as a board game and discovered a zip-lock bag and a vacuum-sealed bag under a bag of cat food inside a box for the “5 Second Rule, Jr.” game, which is marketed to children ages six and up.

According to CBP, the zip-lock bag contained 515 grams of cocaine, while the vacuum-sealed bag contained 186.9 grams of methamphetamine pills. The package was shipped from Atlanta, Georgia, to London after being posted as a return to sender—suggesting the potential for a foreign drug smuggling operation based out of the United Kingdom, possibly utilizing board games or children’s toys to conceal illicit substances.

However, CBP also notes that “drug trafficking organizations may swap the parcel’s contents and post it returned to sender, creating the illusion of the parcel being misaddressed.” Parcels may be returned to the sender if they are undeliverable to the address, such as when the address is incorrect or nonexistent, or not accepted by the resident of that address.

“This seizure of dangerous drugs illustrates how Customs and Border Protection officers expertly leverage our export enforcement mission to combat drug trafficking organizations,” said Cleatus P. Hunt, Jr., Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Philadelphia., adding: “CBP officers remain committed to searching for and seizing similar export and import shipments to deprive criminal organizations of their poisonous products or illicit revenue.”

On average, CBP officers and agents seize 1,571 pounds of drugs daily at U.S ports of entry.

VP Vance Visits With Unlikely Friend at Country Estate.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy is hosting U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance at Chevening House during Vance’s private family holiday in the UK.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: David Lammy, J.D. Vance, and their families.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Friday, at Chevening House in Kent, UK.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Let me just say on J.D. Vance that I’ve met him now on several occasions, we share a similar working-class backgrounds with addiction issues in our family.” – David Lammy

🎯IMPACT: Strengthened ties between the U.S. and UK, with a focus on shared values and personal connections.

IN FULL

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy is set to welcome U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance to Chevening House, a historic Grade 1 listed mansion in Kent, on Friday. The meeting is part of Vance’s private holiday in the UK with his family. According to the White House, the two leaders will discuss “a variety of topics pertaining to the U.S.-UK relationship.” Vance and his family plan to spend most of their time in the Cotswolds and are also expected to visit Hampton Court Palace during their stay.

Lammy and Vance have developed a working relationship since Lammy took on the position of Foreign Secretary last year. The two reportedly bonded over their shared Christian faith and similar experiences with working-class backgrounds and family addiction issues. Lammy previously attended mass at Vance’s residence in Washington during an official visit in March.

Speaking about Vance last summer, Lammy noted, “Let me just say on J.D. Vance that I’ve met him now on several occasions, we share a similar working-class backgrounds with addiction issues in our family. We’ve written books on that, we’ve talked about that, and we’re both Christians. So I think I can find common ground with J.D. Vance.”

Notably, however, Lammy has had a more rocky relationship with President Donald J. Trump. The National Pulse reported last August that the UK Foreign Secretary has referred to the America First leader as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and “tyrant.” Defending his remarks, Lammy argued, “You’re going to struggle to find any politician who has not had things to say about Donald Trump in his first term, particularly on Twitter.”

The visit comes just weeks after President Trump traveled to Scotland for a private visit to his golf courses and met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. Trump also agreed to a trade deal with the EU and is expected to return to the UK for a state visit in September.

Transgender Illegal Charged with Child Rape Was Paroled into U.S. Under Biden.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A biological male identifying as a “transgender” woman, who entered the U.S. illegally, is facing trial for the rape of a minor and stalking.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a Colombian national and illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The suspect was paroled into the U.S. by the Biden government in March 2023 and is set to appear before the New York Supreme Court on September 10, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Thanks to the failed sanctuary policies and Biden’s open-border agenda, this serial criminal was freed to prey on innocent American children – but that ends now.” – DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The case has reignited debate over sanctuary city policies, “transgender” criminal protections, and border enforcement under the Biden administration.

IN FULL

Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a Colombian transgender woman, is facing serious charges, including first-degree rape of a minor under 17 and stalking. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Contreras-Suarez had previously entered the United States illegally in March 2023 but was released under protocols established during the former Biden regime, despite a notable criminal history.

After initially being apprehended at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in California, Contreras-Suarez was released into the country. Following this release, authorities say he was involved in several criminal incidents in Medford, Massachusetts, where charges were filed for armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Local sanctuary policies in both Massachusetts and New York reportedly prevented federal immigration authorities from detaining or deporting Contreras-Suarez, allowing him to remain free despite multiple charges. The National Pulse reported in July that Contreras-Suarez raped a 14-year-old boy in the bathroom of a bodega in East Harlem early this year.

It wasn’t until February 2025 that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer at Manhattan Central Booking, finally enabling federal officials to assume custody. Contreras-Suarez is now incarcerated at Rikers Island and is scheduled to appear before the New York Supreme Court on September 10, 2025.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued strong criticism of local and federal policies that allowed Contreras-Suarez to remain at large: “Thanks to the failed sanctuary policies and Biden’s open-border agenda, this serial criminal was freed to prey on innocent American children – but that ends now.”

The case has reignited debate around sanctuary city policies and border enforcement under the former Biden government. At one point under Biden, as many as 15 percent of the women in federal prisons were actually men claiming to be transgender.

2028 Democrat Hopefuls Now Trying to Distance Themselves from Migrant Giveaways.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Democratic governors in California, Illinois, and Minnesota have rolled back public health care benefits for illegal immigrants, citing budget constraints.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governors Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, and Tim Walz; immigrant advocates, and state legislatures.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Policy changes were enacted in 2025 across California, Illinois, and Minnesota.

💬KEY QUOTE: “There were very difficult conversations… but at the end of the day, we were able to come to this agreement.” – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D)

🎯IMPACT: The cuts will affect tens of thousands of undocumented residents and have sparked backlash from immigrant rights groups and progressives.

IN FULL

Three Democratic governors—California’s Gavin Newsom, Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker, and Minnesota’s Tim Walz—have implemented policy changes to freeze, cap, or eliminate health benefits for illegal immigrants, citing budget shortfalls. These cuts come as all three governors are viewed as potential contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to cap new enrollment for illegal immigrant adults in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. While current enrollees will retain coverage, they will face new costs, including a $100 monthly premium starting in 2027. “We are not cutting or rolling back those that are already enrolled in our Medi-Cal system, we’re just capping it,” Newsom said. More than 120 organizations have condemned the move, calling it harmful.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bipartisan bill removing illegal immigrant adults from MinnesotaCare, the state’s low-income insurance program. Walz acknowledged the challenges, saying, “There were very difficult conversations… but at the end of the day, we were able to come to this agreement.”

In Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker ended a program providing health coverage to over 30,000 illegal immigrant adults, effective July 1. Pritzker described the decision as “difficult” but necessary to balance the budget, blaming national economic challenges. “This year, passing a balanced budget required the difficult decision that reflects the reality of Trump and Republicans tanking our national economy and attempting to strip away healthcare,” his office stated.

Far-left critics argue these decisions undermine vulnerable populations and fail to distinguish Democrats from Trump-era policies, and illegal immigrant rights groups warn that the cuts will harm public health systems and alienate the Democratic base. Importantly, the recent policy changes put the three Democratic governors in stark contrast to the more progressive and pro-open borders politics of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has emerged as a leading national figure in the party.

Mamdani Says He’ll Be Trump’s ‘Worst Nightmare.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Zohran Mamdani (D) declared that his administration would be President Donald J. Trump’s “worst nightmare” during a press conference.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Zohran Mamdani, President Donald Trump, and former governor Andrew Cuomo (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Mamdani made the statements on Thursday during a press conference in New York City.

💬KEY QUOTE: “My administration would be Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.” – Zohran Mamdani

🎯IMPACT: Mamdani’s comments have drawn sharp criticism from both Trump and Cuomo, with the race for New York City mayor heating up.

IN FULL

New York City’s Democratic socialist candidate for mayor, Zohran Mamdani, made bold claims at a press conference on Thursday, stating that his administration would be President Donald J. Trump’s “worst nightmare.” Mamdani, who represents parts of Queens in the New York State Assembly, won the Democratic primary in June in a surprise upset.

“My administration would be Donald Trump’s worst nightmare,” Mamdani declared, adding: “I’ve said that my approach to Washington will not be a reflexive one, it is one that will be in opposition to Donald Trump’s administration when it comes for New Yorkers, when it comes at the expense of the welfare of the people that I’m seeking to serve.”

The self-described Democratic socialist’s candidacy has drawn national attention, particularly from President Trump, who is reportedly considering intervening in the race to block Mamdani’s potential victory in November. “What threatens the president so much about my campaign and our movement is the fact that it showcases the way in which he’s betrayed the very people that we are seeking to serve,” Mamdani said.

Mamdani also accused his opponent, former governor Andrew Cuomo (D), of collaborating with Trump against him, stating, “I will not pick up the phone to call Donald Trump to ask how we can work together to defeat the will of Democrats across this city. That’s what Andrew Cuomo did.” Cuomo responded sharply on X (formerly Twitter), calling Mamdani “short on facts and long on nonsense.”

Mamdani further alleged that the Trump administration has considered extreme measures against him, including denaturalization, deportation, and arrest, claiming these efforts reflect the president’s fear of his candidacy. “Those are the actions of a president who is afraid of the fact that I will actually deliver in a manner where he has simply betrayed,” Mamdani stated.

The 33-year-old Democratic socialist has campaigned on controversial proposals such as the abolition of private property, government-run grocery stores, free childcare, and higher taxes on income and predominantly white neighborhoods.

Bagpiper Banned from TikTok for Being A Proud Scot?!

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Scottish bagpiper has faced backlash and social media bans on platforms like TikTok after sharing videos promoting Scottish culture abroad.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Robin Alderslowe, a 20-year-old Scottish bagpiper; and critics, including fellow Scots and social media platforms like TikTok.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Alderslowe has traveled to countries like India, South Korea, and Australia, with his videos recently going viral.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The most core thing about fixing immigration is fixing our own attitudes toward our own self.” — Robin Alderslowe

🎯IMPACT: Alderslowe has been ostracized by some Scots, banned from social media platforms like TikTok, and faced criticism for being vocal about Scottish culture.

IN FULL

Robin Alderslowe, a 20-year-old bagpiper from Scotland, has stirred debate after posting videos of himself showcasing Scottish culture in various countries. He says his mission is to celebrate and preserve his heritage in a world where Western traditions often face criticism or are becoming diluted.

Traveling to countries such as South Korea, Australia, and India, Alderslowe has gained attention online, some of it supportive, and some not. While audiences abroad have generally responded with curiosity and appreciation, the strongest pushback, he says, has come from his fellow Scots.

“Normally, people think the confused faces of Indian people means they’re angry, but they’re quite pleased to have me there,” Alderslowe explained in a recent media interview. He noted that although his performances are well-received in places like India, he’s faced accusations of racism back home in Scotland. According to Alderslowe, some have even gone so far as to call him a “Nazi” simply for expressing pride in his culture.

This backlash has had real-world consequences. Alderslowe shared that he’s been effectively pushed out of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, a famous destination for street performers. “I can’t play there anymore,” he said, noting that the local busking community has distanced itself from him. Tourists often ask about him using the label “racist bagpiper,” further contributing to his exclusion.

His presence on social media has also been impacted. TikTok has permanently banned his account, while Instagram has restricted some of his functions, including posting and private messaging. Despite these obstacles, Alderslowe remains determined. He insists that cultural pride is not only important but necessary. “If we want to keep our culture the way that it is … then we have to be proud of [that] culture and say it in a loud way,” he said.

He also voiced concern over the growing trend of discouraging Westerners from valuing their heritage. “We’re saying things like, ‘White people don’t have any culture,'” Alderslowe noted. “And to me, the most core thing about fixing immigration is fixing our own attitudes toward our own self, our heritage, our history, and our culture.” He believes being unapologetic and outspoken is key to preserving cultural identity, even if it means facing criticism.

Over Half of D.C. Carjacking Suspects Are Minors.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Over half of those arrested for carjackings in Washington, D.C., since August 2023 were minors, with some as young as 12 years old.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Juvenile offenders, D.C. police, Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D), Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Washington, DC; data from August 2023 to present, with a specific incident involving a government staffer on Sunday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.” – President Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The rise in juvenile crime has sparked debate over curfews, penalties, and federal intervention in D.C. crime policies.

IN FULL

Since August 2023, 333 suspects have been arrested for carjackings in Washington, D.C., with 56 percent of those arrests involving individuals under the age of 18. According to police data, many of the juveniles arrested were between 15 and 16 years old, with some as young as 12. Notably, the nation’s capital has seen a concerning number of high–profile incidents involving carjackings in recent years, including the murder of former Trump administration staffer Mike Gill.

The rise in juvenile crime has coincided with a broader increase in vehicle-related offenses. Over the past two years, D.C. has reported 1,046 carjackings, with 72 percent involving a firearm. In contrast, motor vehicle thefts without the owner present have remained steady, with 2,847 cases reported since August 2024 compared to 2,844 in the same period last year.

The issue gained national attention after 19-year-old Edward Coristine, a former staffer with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was attacked by a group of 10 juveniles while attempting to prevent a carjacking. Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in connection with the assault. President Donald J. Trump responded by calling for tougher penalties on juvenile offenders and warning of a potential federal takeover of D.C. if local leaders fail to address the crime surge.

“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local ‘youths’ and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-year-olds, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, adding: “The law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14… If the D.C. leaders do not clean up their capital city, I will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation’s capital, even if it means taking federal control of the City.”

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb has pushed back on such proposals, emphasizing rehabilitation for minors. In response to the Coristine case, Schwalb called the attack “horrific and disturbing” and stated, “When MPD brings us cases with sufficient evidence of juveniles who have broken the law and hurt people, we will prosecute them and ensure they face consequences for their actions.” His office has reported a 90 percent prosecution rate for homicide and attempted homicide cases in 2024, as well as high rates for carjacking and violent assault cases. Meanwhile, Mayor Muriel Bowser has implemented curfews for minors, including an 11 PM citywide curfew and earlier curfews in certain neighborhoods.

MTG Blasts Fox News Viewers.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Fox News for its aging audience and responded to host Mark Levin calling her a “lunatic.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Levin, and Fox News.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Greene made her comments during an interview on Real America’s Voice News on Wednesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Fox News better start paying attention, but their problem is most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age, the Baby Boomer generation… That’s not the future of America.” – Marjorie Taylor Greene

🎯IMPACT: Greene’s remarks highlight growing divisions within the GOP and her feud with Fox News’s more neoconservative personalities.

IN FULL

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is publicly criticizing Fox News and one of its high-profile hosts, Mark Levin, after he labeled her a “lunatic” during an appearance on the network. Levin dismissed Greene’s influence in the Republican Party, saying, “The Republican Party isn’t going the way of Marjorie Taylor Greene or her ilk. No way!” She and Levin, a staunch neoconservative, have been at odds over U.S. military actions, particularly concerning airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets. Greene has urged a more domestic focus, arguing that internal issues should take priority over foreign conflicts.

Greene responded during an interview with Eric Bolling on Real America’s Voice News, pushing back against Levin’s comments and the platform he used to make them. “Mark has never called me or talked to me in person,” she said. “When he goes on Fox News, the network where he hosts his show, and calls me ‘crazy’ and refers to ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk,’ he’s insulting my entire district.”

In that same interview, Greene took aim at Fox News’ viewer demographics, criticizing the network for leaning heavily on an older audience. “Fox News better start paying attention, but their problem is most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age, the Baby Boomer generation, who I love, those are my parents, but that’s their biggest audience. That’s not the future of America,” she stated.

Data from Pew Research supports her remarks: nearly 50 percent of Americans aged 65 and up, along with 45 percent of those aged 50 to 64, report regularly getting their news from Fox News. Comparatively, that number drops to 32 percent among people aged 30 to 49, and just 28 percent for those under 30.

Despite Greene’s critique, Fox News recently reported strong growth in viewership, with a 31 percent increase in its key 25–54 demographic between April and June, and a 25 percent rise in total audience numbers.

Though known as a strong ally of President Donald J. Trump, Greene has started to voice disagreements with him and the broader Republican Party on a number of issues, including artificial intelligence and U.S. foreign policy. The Georgia Republican recently questioned her place in the GOP, saying, “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore.”

Pakistani Asylum Seeker Charged for Alleged Rape of 8-Year-Old Girl.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A 43-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker has been charged in London with multiple counts of child sexual abuse, including the alleged rape of an eight-year-old girl.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Kamran Khan, a Pakistani national, and an eight-year-old girl.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Alleged crimes occurred between September 2022 and July 2023 in London; court proceedings took place this week at Inner London Crown Court.

🎯IMPACT: Khan remains in custody and is set to face a seven-day trial in January for the alleged offenses.

IN FULL

A 43-year-old Pakistani migrant appeared before a British court in London this week on charges of allegedly repeatedly raping an eight-year-old girl. Kamran Khan is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of forcing a child under the age of 13 to engage in a sex act, two counts of forcing a child to witness a sexual activity, and four counts of sexually assaulting a child.

The 43-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker reportedly required the assistance of an Urdu language interpreter while pleading not guilty in court. According to prosecutors, between September of last year and July of this year, Khan raped an eight-year-old girl on two separate occasions.

The prosecution also accuses the migrant of molesting the young girl’s genitals with his hands and penis, and forcing her to watch another person have sex. Khan is scheduled to return to court in January, with a trial that is expected to last around seven days. He will be held in custody until his trial date.

The case is just the latest involving a Pakistani national accused of child sex crimes and comes after a decade of mostly Pakistani child grooming gang activity across the UK.

A recent report admitted that police purposely ignored the ethnic data of the grooming gangs, with some never bothering even to record it. In some cases, local police were even accused of joining the grooming gangs in abusing children. Five victims came forward in the town of Rotherham, with one claiming that at least one police officer also raped her.

EXCLUSIVE: Bannon Responds to Daily Mail Story Claiming 2028 Presidential Run.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: MAGA ‘godfather’ Stephen K. Bannon has responded to a Daily Mail article claiming he will consider a presidential run in 2028.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Steve Bannon, Vice President JD Vance, and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The Daily Mail, without comment from anyone close to Bannon, claimed on Thursday that his potential candidacy is in the early planning stages for the 2028 election.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Trump 2028.” – Stephen K. Bannon

IN FULL

Unnamed and anonymous sources have told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper that Stephen K. Bannon is in the preliminary phases of planning a presidential run for the 2028 election. The news appears designed to create a significant rift within the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, which Bannon was instrumental in building.

Speaking exclusively to The National Pulse on Thursday, after the publication of the Mail’s thinly sourced story, Bannon remarked, “Trump 2028.”

The Daily Mail claims Bannon did not comment on the matter, but The National Pulse can also reveal that, according to Bannon himself, no request for comment was made to Bannon before the story’s publication.

Bannon told reporters in March: “I don’t think like a politician… all I do is back President Trump and try to move the populist agenda and the America First agenda.”

He has also previously called the notion “too absurd,” though this did not stop the Mail publishing the story with a single, anonymous source.
