Wife of WaPo Columnist Who Accused Trump of Being a Russian Asset Has Been Charged as a Foreign Agent.

Sue Mi Terry, a former senior official with the White House National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst, has been arrested and charged with acting as an agent of the South Korean government. According to federal prosecutors, Terry has been indicted for failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Federal prosecutors allege the woman clandestinely promoted South Korean interests in the U.S. government in exchange for luxury handbags from Louis Vuitton and other high-end items. Terry is the wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot—a prominent neoconservative and critic of former President Donald J. Trump.

In 2019, Boot published a column listing 18 reasons why he believed that Trump could be a Russian foreign asset. Among the reasons, the Washington Post columnist repeated the widely disproved Russia collusion hoax. Additionally, Boot insinuated that those around Trump may have been influenced by the Russians, including through business ties and gifts.

South Korean intelligence agents plied Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, with luxury gifts in exchange for handing over information pertinent to the Asian nation’s interests and providing introductions to key U.S. officials. According to prosecutors, she received a  $2,950 Bottega Veneta handbag, a $3,450 Louis Vuitton handbag, a $2,845 Dolce & Gabbana coat, and multiple trips to top-tier restaurants. In addition, her policy program focusing on South Korean affairs received over $37,000 in funding from South Korean intelligence operations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicates Terry began serving the interests of the South Korean government in 2013—just after she left Barack Obama‘s White House. Consequently, this means that Boot made false accusations against Trump while his wife was allegedly working as a foreign agent against the interests of the United States.

‘You Owe President Trump Answers’ — Senators Heckle Secret Service Chief at RNC.

United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle was lambasted by a group of Republican United States Senators as she walked through the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday. The Senators demanded answers and transparency regarding the security failures that led to Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.

“This was an assassination attempt! You owe the people answers. You owe President Trump answers,” shouted Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as she and others kept stride with Cheatle through the convention concourse. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), meanwhile, accused the USSS director of “stonewalling.”

Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and James Lankford (R-OK) were also among the scrum following Cheatle as she made her way to a suite occupied by the USSS. Cheatle was in Milwaukee ostensibly to oversee security arrangements following last week’s attempted assassination, though some speculate her presence was little more than an attempt to save face.

According to Sen. Blackburn, Cheatle “…would not answer our questions and wanted to say it was not the time nor place.”

The Tennessee Republican added: “This is after we’ve been through a conference call today. … She can run, but she cannot hide because the American people want to know how an assassination attempt was carried out on former President Donald Trump.”

In response to the senators’ questions, the USSS released a statement insisting that Cheatle and the agency are committed to transparency and cooperation in the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt. The agency also reiterated that Cheatle has no intention of stepping down as director.

WATCH: Navarro Delivers Speech in Milwaukee After Heading Straight to RNC from Prison.

Peter Navarro, former top trade adviser to President Donald J. Trump, was released from federal prison on Wednesday after completing a four-month sentence for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee. Navarro, aged 75, headed directly to the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee to support the former president.

News of Navarro’s release was shared on social media by his staff, who optimistically wrote, “The best is yet to come.”

At the convention, he delivered a speech saying the committee had demanded he “betray” Donald Trump and break the law, and Joe Biden’s “Department of Injustice” punished him for refusing to do so.

“They did not break me, and they will never break Donald Trump,” he declared.

In September, Navarro was found guilty of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the January 6 Committee. A leftist federal judge in Washington sentenced him to four months in prison and a $9,500 fine.

A three-judge appeals court panel in Washington rejected Navarro’s request to delay his sentence. Subsequently, he sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, but Chief Justice John Roberts denied his initial request to remain free during his appeal. The full Supreme Court later declined a renewed effort by Navarro.

Navarro became the first former White House official to serve prison time following a contempt of Congress conviction.

Stephen K. Bannon, former White House chief strategist, is currently serving a four-month sentence in a federal prison in Connecticut for similarly defying the January 6 Committee.

Trump to Attend Funeral of Hero Firefighter Killed During Assassination Attempt.

Former President Donald J. Trump is set to attend the private funeral of firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed while protecting his family during an assassination attempt against the former president last weekend in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Comperatore was among those supporting Trump at a campaign rally when gunfire erupted from a nearby rooftop. The shooter grazed Trump’s right ear while fatally injuring Comperatore and severely wounding two others. The assailant, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was subsequently killed.

Responding to inquiries about Trump‘s attendance at Comperatore’s funeral, a source close to the former President affirmed, “Of course he is.”

Earlier this week, Trump personally reached out to Comperatore’s wife to offer his condolences. Helen Comperatore shared on Facebook that Trump was compassionate during their conversation and assured her of continued support in the coming days.

Comperatore, a father of two, was the fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company in Sarver, Pennsylvania. He died while shielding his wife and daughter from Crooks’s gunfire. Since his tragic death, a GoFundMe launched for Comperatore’s wife has garnered over $1.2 million in donations.

The private funeral service is scheduled to take place Thursday, marking a somber occasion as family, friends, and community members gather to honor Comperatore’s life and sacrifice. Since the shooting, many have criticized the United States Secret Service (USSS), but despite admitting failures, the head of the agency, Kimberly Cheatle, has ruled out resigning.

She claims the slightly sloped roof of the building where the shooter took his shots was deemed too risky to post agents. Several law enforcement sources across Pennsylvania contradicted Director Cheatle, and said they had observed Crooks at least 26 minutes prior to the shooting and sent the information up the command chain.

WATCH: Drone Strikes Oil Tanker in Red Sea as Biden’s Failing War in Yemen Drags On.

Footage has emerged showing a suicide drone striking an oil tanker approximately 100 nautical miles northwest of Yemen‘s port city of Hodeidah. The drone struck the tanker on its portside, raising concerns about a potential oil spill.

The incident represents another failure for Joe Biden’s Operation Prosperity Guardian, aimed at curbing the Houthis’ activities in the Red Sea. Biden previously admitted that U.S. strikes in Yemen were not stopping Houthi attacks on global shipping but vowed to continue them anyway.

“When you say working, are they stopping the Houthis, no. Are they going to continue, yes,” Biden told reporters in January.

The footage of the attack was released by the Iran-backed Houthis, who have been targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November. They claim these attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the conflict in Gaza.

Since Biden launched his ineffective campaign against them, their attacks have expanded to include targets in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

In May, the Houthis even managed to capture a $30 million U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, adding to the embarrassment of the U.S. in the region.

Government Bans Pro-Trump Magazine for Criticizing Multiculturalism.

Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has unilaterally banned the right-wing, pro-Donald J. Trump Compact Magazin, accusing the publication of fostering “hatred” of migrants and ethnic diversity. “The ban shows that we are also taking action against the intellectual arsonists who stir up a climate of hatred and violence against refugees and migrants and want to overcome our democratic state,” Minister Faeser said.

“Our signal is very clear: We will not allow ethnic definitions of who belongs to Germany and who does not,” she added.

Several people associated with the magazine, including publisher Jürgen Elsässer, had their homes raided following the ban on July 16. Police also seized the magazine’s assets.

Compact is well-known for its links to the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which lawmakers in Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag, are also trying to get banned. The magazine is also noted for being skeptical of Western involvement in the Ukraine war, blaming NATO expansion for the conflict.

Brandenburg state interior minister Michael Stübgen, a member of the so-called “center-right” Christian Democratic Union (CDU) formerly led by Angela Merkel, has said all of Compact‘s social media channels will be scrubbed from the Internet, with their content deleted and revenue confiscated.

Earlier this year, Minister Faeser, who previously wrote for far-left Antifa publications, announced the government would be banning anyone declared a far-right extremist from owning firearms. The government will also trace people who donate to allegedly far-right individuals and groups.

Boris Johnson Lobbies Trump for Ukraine After Speech to Audience of Empty Chairs at RNC.

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson met with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday and lobbied him to prolong the Ukraine war. Johnson posted a picture of his meeting with the America First leader shortly after delivering a speech to a nearly empty room at the Republican National Convention (RNC).

Johnson said President Trump was on “top form” following the failed assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “We discussed Ukraine, and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy.”

It is a marked change of attitude from the supposedly right-wing Briton, who said “America is unreservedly back as the leader of the free world and that is a fantastic thing” after Biden replaced Trump.

Prior to Trump’s victory in the 2016 election, Johnson joined much of the political establishment in trashing then-candidate Trump as “unfit to hold the office of President of the United States.”

Since resigning as Prime Minister in 2022, Johnson has become a lobbyist for Ukraine and war with Russia. In September of last year, Johnson begged Trump not to withdraw support.

Reports indicate Johnson personally sabotaged a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia in the early stages of the war in 2022. Naftali Bennett, the Prime Minister of Israel at the start of the conflict, has revealed he helped to negotiate a ceasefire, but NATO powers including the U.S. and Britain where Johnson was then still Prime Minister, “blocked it.”

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin later confirmed this during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year, saying a negotiated peace agreement had been made in Istanbul, Turkey, but Johnson dissuaded Volodymyr Zelensky from signing.

Following the interview, Johnson pilloried Carlson, calling him a tool of the Kremlin. Carlson said he reached out to interview Johnson, but the former prime minister demanded a million dollars to appear.

In May, footage emerged of Johnson praising Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Brigade at a private London club.

Great Britain’s Last Ethnic Minority Leader Resigns as Left Turns Back to White Men.

The Zambia-born First Minister of Wales, Vaughan Gething, is resigning. With the Labour politician’s elevation in March, every national leader in Great Britain was an ethnic minority. Now, all of them have gone.

Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland, was the first to lose office. The Pakistani-heritage Muslim resigned as leader of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP) in April. He had been facing a no-confidence vote after breaking a coalition agreement with the Greens, who propped up his anti-free speech administration in the Scottish government—roughly equivalent to a U.S. state government.

Unlike Scotland and Wales, England lacks a devolved government, with the British central government administering its domestic affairs. Until July 5, the British government was led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, an Indian-heritage Hindu. He has been replaced by Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer after leading the Conservatives into their worst-ever general election defeat.

Neither Yousaf, Sunak, nor Gething became national leaders after winning at the ballot box; all of them were installed by their parties between elections.

Yousaf’s leftist party has replaced him with John Swinney. Like Starmer, he is a white man in his sixties. Gething’s replacement is yet to be determined, but another white man is the favorite to replace him: Jeremy Miles.

Feds Confirm They Were Aware of Plot to Assassinate Trump.

Federal agents became aware in recent weeks that the Islamic Republic of Iran is plotting an assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says they have received human-sourced intelligence regarding the plot—allegedly increasing Trump’s security detail.

However, any changes to the security situation involving Trump did not appear to deter would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired several shots at the former president on Saturday, striking him in the ear and killing hero rallygoer Corey Comperatore while he shielded his family.

At the moment, it is not believed that Crooks and the Iranian plot against Trump’s life are connected.

Iran’s plot against Trump stems from his order in September 2020 to target one of the Islamic state’s top military commanders, Qassem Soleimani, in a drone strike. Soleimani was tied to numerous attacks by Iranian proxies against American soldiers—and believed to be the nexus of Iranian terror activities. Soleimani was killed in the strike, prompting the Iranians to declare him a martyr and swear revenge.

The existence of the Iran assassination plot raises even more questions regarding the security lapses and apparent lack of resources for Trump‘s United States Secret Service (USSS) detail at last Saturday’s rally. Video evidence shows rallygoers attempting to draw the attention of law enforcement to the gunman for several minutes before he opened fire.

Additional reports suggest that law enforcement had identified the would-be assassin as a suspicious person of interest upwards of half an hour before the shooting occurred.

According to the USSS, the rooftop—an elevated position just 400 feet away from where former President Trump was speaking—from which the attack was carried out was a high-priority location of concern. Despite this, no agents were stationed on the roof.

Local Cops Trash Secret Service Director’s Narrative Over Trump Hit.

Law enforcement sources across “multiple counties” in Pennsylvania are contradicting United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle’s account of the events leading up to the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday. Specifically, they are refuting her claims that there were police inside the building from which the would-be assassin opened fire.

Cheatle has said assets were not posted on the building due to its “sloped roof,” and “the decision was made to secure the building from inside.”

Channel 11’s Nicole Ford reports local police took photographs of the sniper, Thomas Matthew Crooks, “at least” 26 minutes before he attempted to assassinate Trump and that these were “sent up the command chain.” Sources told Ford that Crooks was also “spotted by police with a range finder.”

Ford’s sources say Crooks did not climb the roof until after Trump began his speech and that he was on top of the building for “fewer than seven minutes” before being confronted by a local police officer.

Serious questions have been raised about the USSS security failures that allowed Crooks to open fire on Trump, striking his ear and three rallygoers, one of whom was killed. Cheatle has said “the buck stops with me” but she has not offered her resignation.
