Joe Biden could not recall the date of the 2021 riots at the Capitol building while speaking at a fundraiser on Thursday night. Appearing at the Hollywood residence of celebrity acting couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, the 81-year-old Biden referred to the January 6 riots as having occurred on June 6 — appearing to confuse the riots with the Normandy invasion in 1944.
“We’ll certainly never forget the dark days of June 6, January 6th, excuse me,” Biden told the high-dollar donor crowd in California in an attempt to criticize former President DonaldTrump. At 81 years old, Biden is the oldest American to have ever served as President of the United States.
Over the past several months, Biden‘s cognitiveabilities and memory recollection appear to have declined significantly. The National Pulse has previously reported on several instances where the incumbent Democrat has been unable to remember what century it currently is and falsely claimed to have played roles in both significant and insignificant past events.
Most recently, Biden left even some of his most ardent defenders bewildered after mentioning the death of his uncle Ambrose Finnigan on the campaign trail — insisting it could have come at the hands of cannibals. Biden, again, got basic facts surrounding his uncle’s military service and disappearance in an air crash incorrect. And while there is a remote possibility Finnigan could have been killed — and even eaten — by inhabitants of Papua New Guinea, it remains unclear why Biden felt the need to bring it up on the camping trail.

The fourth day of Manhattan District Attorney AlvinBragg‘s prosecution saw jurors hearing continued testimony from David Pecker as former President Donald Trump‘s defense attorneys finished their cross-examination of the tabloid newsman.
In addition to Pecker, jurors have now heard from two new prosecution witnesses. Rhona Graff, a former executive assistant to DonaldTrump and a former senior vice president in the Trump Organization, gave brief testimony after being called by the prosecution. Her cross-examination by Trump’s attorneys was short as well. The day closed with Bragg’s team putting banker Gary Farro on the stand — his testimony will continue on Thursday after a several-day break for the end of the Passover holiday.
At this juncture, the prosecution’s strategy has become readily apparent. More on that below.
FINISHING OFF PECKER.
Tabloid newsman David Pecker’s time on the stand came to a close on Friday. Former President DonaldTrump‘s attorneys continued their cross-examination of the prosecution witness, with even more damage done to Bragg’s case. Pecker admitted to the former President’s attorney Emil Bove that “catch and kill” was never discussed during a 2015 meeting between Trump, Michael Cohen, and himself. He also acknowledged that the three never discussed any financial agreements during the same meeting.
In a most damning moment, Pecker said he was aware that Cohen and Karen McDougal’s attorney at the time knew each other both professionally and socially. The tabloid newsman admitted the two attorneys could have been merely discussing an agreement they had made on their own.
RHONA GRAFF NO HELP FOR BRAGG.
The former executive assistant and senior vice president at the Trump Organization, Rhona Graff, briefly took the stand after Pecker. Prosecutors asked very little of Graff, mainly focusing on having her confirm the veracity of a thumb drive they claimed contained a list of contacts belonging to former President Trump. Among the contacts included in the drive are Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels.
Graff’s cross-examination by Trump’s defense team was also abbreviated. She was asked if she enjoyed her time working with former President Trump. Graff replied that she did, noting that Trump showed her a great deal of respect because of her intelligence and work ethic.
Addressing Stormy Daniels, Graff said she had seen the woman at Trump Tower but had assumed she was there to interview to be a cast member of The Apprentice. “It was part of the office chatter,” she told Trump defense attorney Susan Necheles.
COHEN’S MONEY MAN.
The next prosecution witness was banker Gary Farro. While working at First Republican Bank, Farro listed Michael Cohen among his clients. The banker told prosecutors he was assigned to Cohen because of his ability “to handle individuals that may be a little bit challenging.”
Farro told prosecutors that in October 2016, Cohen approached him about setting up a new LLC. “Need an account opened for Mike Cohen immediately. He wants no address on the checks,” Farro told associates in an email dated October 13, 2016. On forms setting up the company, Cohen marked “no” when asked if the organization would be “associated with Political Fundraising/Political Action Committee (PAC).”
The court adjourned for the day without finishing Farro’s testimony.
WHERE IS THIS GOING?
It is becoming clear that the prosecution is attempting to build up to the testimony of Michael Cohen. They hope that through Cohen, they can convince the jury that former President Trump engaged in illegal activity despite them so far being unable to provide any conclusive evidence. Each of the witnesses so far appears to be primarily concerned with boosting Cohen’s dubious credibility — which, as he appears to be Bragg’s singular star witness, is a top concern for the DA.

Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) wants answers from the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and Manhattan District Attorney AlvinBragg‘s office regarding the circumstances of Michael Colangelo’s departure from the former and subsequent employment with the latter. The Texas Republican contends that Colangelo could be a go-between, facilitating the DOJ‘s oversight and control of Bragg’s prosecution of former President DonaldTrump.
“The politicized persecution of former President Trump and the collusion between the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Manhattan District Attorney (DA) General’s Office have raised several concerns among the public,” Rep. Gooden wrote to Biden‘s Attorney General MerrickGarland and Bragg earlier this week. He continued, zeroing in on Bragg’s hiring of Colangelo: “The fact that Colangelo stepped down from a senior DOJ role to join a prosecution team in a city DA office raises some pressing concerns.”
“To ensure transparency and accountability are upheld in this case, I request immediate access to all records and communication in relation to the Department of Justice and the Manhattan District Attorney General’s Office process of hiring Matthew Colangelo,” the TexasRepublican added.
Colangelo formerly served as the Acting Associate Attorney General in the BidenDOJ. This highly coveted position is viewed as a stepping stone to lucrative private sector jobs such as general counsel with a Fortune 500 company. However, as Gooden notes in his letter to Garland and Bragg, Colangelo effectively took a demotion in leaving the DOJ and joining Bragg’s team as senior counsel.
Gooden specifically asks both Garland and Bragg: “Was Mr. Colangelo asked to leave by the DOJ, or did he accept a position in a lower office voluntarily? ” He also asks both men for details regarding continued communication between Colangelo and his former DOJ colleagues.

The prosecutors behind the ‘hush money’ lawfare trial against former President Donald Trump are emphasizing an obscure term — “catch and kill” — in an attempt to sway the jury and portray Michael Cohen‘s payments to Stormy Daniels as some grand conspiratorial scheme orchestrated by Trump himself.
The corporate media continues to parrot the phrase as if it were some well-known tactic deployed by Trump and his allies to cover something up. That’s entirely the point of the repetition, especially in front of the jury. “Catch and kill” — sounds bad. Catch? Fine. Kill? Sounds illegal. It’s not, of course. But there are two sides to the “catch and kill” industry that emanates out of Hollywood and features several regular, unsavory characters who have made their names and fortunes off the practice, often at the expense of celebrity figures.
LEXICON.
Its first Wikipedia entry was only in 2018, when the original page appears to have been created to malign Donald Trump and farcically connect him with Harvey Weinstein. Part of the reason why a fair jury has been so impossible in New York is the long-standing tainting of the jury pool via internet artifacts like these, alongside the ongoing hoaxes peddled by the corporate media.
The term has almost no internet search history.
“Catch and kill” appears to have been introduced into the political lexicon by Trump opponents just as the 45th President was first taking office. The Wall Street Journal was the first major publication to mention it in 2016, followed almost immediately by the Washington Post. For two unrelated newspapers to repeat such a phrase in close succession suggests they were fed the line. Murdoch’s WSJuses anonymized sources under the euphemism “people familiar with the matter” a journalistically bizarre seven times in their 2016 story.
BETTER CALL… KEITH?
One regular character in the saga is Keith M. Davidson, a Beverly Hills lawyer and frequent Democrat donor. At the time, Davidson was representing Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in their attempts to strong-arm Trump out of cash. Davidson has represented a number of unsavory characters in the same vein – portrayed by the Hollywood Smoking Gun blog as a Saul Goodman-style grifter who has been on the receiving end of numerous complaints from clients and critics alike, suggesting immoral behavior bordering on the unlawful.
The Smoking Gun noted of Davidson in a massive 2018 story that he is “the attorney to hire if you are seeking to monetize a celebrity sex tape or compromising information about public figures like Trump, Charlie Sheen, Tiger Woods, and Kanye West. Davidson specializes in extracting payments in exchange for the quashing of incriminating videos and/or details about sexual indiscretions, STDs, and all manner of regrettable behavior.”
In other words, “catch and kill” shakedowns appear to be the modus operandi, finding its way into the political press after representatives for Daniels and McDougal briefed D.C. and New York reporters.
“The Smoking Gun has revealed that the attorney–who has practiced since 2000–has also apparently engaged in the kind of activities that result in severe disciplinary sanctions, such as directing clients to lie, splitting legal fees with non-lawyers, defying a judicial injunction, and practicing law while under suspension.”
The Los Angeles Times had similar reporting in 2018, noting: “Most Beverly Hills lawyers are seldom accused of extortion. For Keith M. Davidson, however, it’s not so rare: He is fighting three civil suits by television personalities alleging extortion. Davidson is the attorney who negotiated payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal during the 2016 presidential race to keep them quiet about their alleged affairs with Donald Trump. Both wound up firing Davidson and hiring new lawyers to get their nondisclosure deals voided.”
A fairly scornful start to another story which shed some light on the Hollywood shakedown industry. The Times went on:
In 2012, Davidson was caught up in an FBI sting operation for trying to get Hulk Hogan to pay a client $300,000 for a secretly taped video of the wrestling star having sex, law enforcement records show. Davidson met Hogan in a Florida hotel room — unaware it was wired with recording devices monitored by FBI agents in an adjacent room.
As soon as Hogan’s lawyer, David Houston, handed Davidson the first installment, a phony check for $150,000, FBI agents stormed in and detained him, according to the law enforcement records.
“I was amazed that there was a lawyer actually making a living doing this,” Houston said.
…
Davidson’s law license was suspended for three months in 2010 after he admitted to professional misconduct — failing to keep a client informed of important matters in a medical malpractice case and not showing up for a court hearing, among other things.
“Catch and kill,” in fact, was not a phrase used by AMI, the National Enquirer, or “star” prosecution witness David Pecker, according to his own testimony on Thursday.
Instead, it’s a little-known Hollywood industry term further popularized by journalist Ronan Farrow’s 2019 book of the same name, which details his efforts to cover the allegations of sexual abuse and rape against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
“The first time you heard the phrase was from a prosecutor, correct?” asked Trump attorney Emil Bove.
“That’s right,” Pecker responded.
Pecker also mentioned he believed Michael Cohen was acting in a personal capacity — not on behalf of the Trump campaign — and implied that Trump was personally unaware of Cohen’s activities.
In other words – much like most of the hoaxes peddled against President Trump – almost all of it has happened without his involvement, knowledge, or even awareness of the fringe figures in his life attempting to make a quick buck off his name.

A majority of Americans — as well as four in 10 Democrats, Latinos, and blacks and over a third of Gen Z — support the mass deportation of illegal aliens, a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll for Axios revealed. The striking admission by the pro-mass migration Axios lays bare a growing shift in public opinion regarding immigration and indicates widespread support for the strict policies of former President Donald Trump.
The poll revealed that 51 percent of the general public supports mass deportations of illegal aliens. Although Axios did not disclose the poll’s comprehensive data, denying the public insight into the precise extent of support for mass deportations, the results they did publish suggest significant support for mass deportation across every major American demographic.
Among white Americans, support for mass deportations of illegals is at 56 percent. Forty percent of blacks favor mass deportations, as do nearly half of Latinos — 45 percent. The poll also found that 68 percent of Republicans support mass deportations of illegals, as do 46 percent of independents and 42 percent of Democrats.
Significant support for mass deportations of illegal aliens also spans generations. Sixty percent of those in the boomer generation or older support the mass deportation of illegals, as do 53 percent of Gen X and nearly half — 48 percent — of Millennials. Perhaps most surprisingly, over a third — 35 percent — of Gen Z also supports mass deportations.
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and a former pollster for Bill Clinton, told Axios. Penn said the results are a warning to Joe Biden that “efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to Trump are not going to work.”
In an event in Iowa in September of last year, Trump declared that “a vote for President Trump means Joe Biden’s horror show at the southern border ends at high noon on Inauguration Day, 2025” and vowed to “carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American History.”

The third day of the hush money trial of former President DonaldTrump did not go well for Manhattan District Attorney AlvinBragg. David Pecker, the prosecution’s lead-off witness, continued to poke holes in Bragg’s case.
While the former publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid testified that he believed the “catch and kill” scheme coordinated by attorney MichaelCohen was “for the campaign,” Pecker also insisted that, at the time, he did not believe Trump was aware of Cohen’s activities.
Pecker indicated to prosecutor Joshua Steinglass that Trump may have only become aware of Cohen‘s scheme after the 2016presidential election. He said several post-election interactions, including a dinner at the White House, may have been a “thank you” for his efforts.
A WEAK WITNESS.
Despite the prosecution’s best efforts to insinuate former President Trump‘s involvement in—or even knowledge of—the “catch and kill” scheme, Pecker’s testimony continues to fall short of any direct implication. The prosecution frequently used the “catch and kill” term as well as referring to Cohen and Pecker’s activities as a “scheme,” hoping to convince the jury of illegal activity when, in fact, there appears to be none.
Under cross-examination by Trump‘s attorney Emil Bove, Pecker even admitted he’d never heard the term “catch and kill” before the prosecution used it. Bove asked Pecker if “it was always your intention, dating back to the early days of this friendship, not to publish negative stories about President Trump?” The tabloid newsman responded, “Yes.”
ItiPecker also acknowledged he has held back negative stories about other notable public figures, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, businessman Ronald Perelman, and Obama Chief of Staff-turned-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Further undermining the prosecution’s case, he added that it was his understanding that Cohen was acting in a personal capacity for Trump, not on behalf of the presidential campaign.
TRUMP LAUDS ‘BREATHTAKING’ PECKER.
After the court adjourned for the day, former President DonaldTrump addressed the media, stating that what happened in the courtroom on Thursday was “breathtaking.” The former President called Pecker’s testimony “amazing.”
“You saw it, what went on. It was breathtaking. Amazing testimony,” Trump said. He added: “Open your eyes, we can’t continue to let this happen to our country.” The former President also addressed the United States Supreme Court hearing regarding his presidential immunity claim, which occurred earlier on Thursday, calling it a “monumental hearing.”
GAG ORDER DRAMA CONTINUES.
JudgeJuanMerchan still has not ruled on the District Attorney’s office’s accusations that former President Trump violated a court-issued gag order. Before the trial began on Thursday, prosecutors filed additional claims that the order had been violated. Those accusations will be addressed in a hearing scheduled for next Wednesday.

Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, says Speaker Mike Johnson is doing the donor class’s bidding by drawing fire away from Joe Biden amid the ongoing crisis on college campuses. Speaking to Steve Bannon on War Room, Kassam argued special interests were a more plausible explanation than mere stupidity.
“The Democrat Party is tearing itself in half over this issue. You simply do not interfere and intervene when your enemy is making a mistake. That was Napoleon’s comment at Waterloo; it remains true to this day,” Kassam explained.
“What he’s doing right now is purely for his donors,” Kassam argued.
“Kevin McCarthy had a thing where he was pledging not to spend money against his own political opponents in his own party. Staying out of the primaries, all of that stuff,” he continued.
“Mike Johnson is not beholden to that pledge, and I bet you somebody has told him, ‘Hey, all these people going after you? Marjorie Taylor Greene, all this stuff? We’ll put in money for their opponents if you go up there and do our bidding on Columbia college campus.'”
If this is untrue, Kassam added, “Let’s hear him deny it.”
SHOOTING TRUMP IN THE FOOT.
Speaking on the campus crisis, Kassam reminded the audience it is “a situation where the White House, remember, has been sending emissaries into Arab and Muslim neighborhoods in the United States, and they are getting shunned and shoved out of these neighborhoods, creating this political nightmare, disaster for Joe Biden and his foreign policy apparatus.”
Currently, the ire of students and faculty is aimed almost exclusively at Biden. However, Johnson inserting himself into the issue only gives the impression that “the GOP, and by extension, in their minds… Trump must have something to do with this, too.”
“He’s taking an issue where the Democrats have been shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, and he is now using that weapon to shoot the rest of us in the foot,” Kassam stressed. He said “abject, abject foolishness” could explain Johnson’s behavior. However, he does not buy this: “I don’t believe he’s that stupid. I think he’s been put up to this.”
The most likely culprits, he suggested, were Never Trump and Uniparty figures in the GOP who do not want a second Trump administration.
Additionally, Kassam contrasted Johnson’s behavior with Trump’s politically astute decision to drive a wedge between Biden and voters who are both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian, emphasizing Biden hates them both.

Christina Bobb, who currently runs the Republican National Committee (RNC) ‘s election integrity unit, was indicted Wednesday night for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced that Bobb and 17 others are being charged with felony crimes, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.
Bobb previously worked as a lawyer for former President DonaldTrump and a reporter for One America News Network (OAN) before her appointment to the RNC. Despite the indictment, Bobb expressed her honor in joining the RNC and reiterated her commitment to restoring confidence in the electoral process. “I’m honored to join the RNC and thrilled the new leadership is focused on election integrity. I look forward to working to secure our elections and restore confidence in the process,” Bobb said at the time of her appointment.
TRUMP NAMED UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR.
Former President DonaldTrump is listed as “Unindicted Co-conspirator 1” in the charging document. However, the Arizona Attorney General has not charged him with any crime.
Responding to the indictment, Trumpcampaign spokesman Steven Cheung said: “Another example of Democrats’ weaponization of the legal system. Christina Bobb is a former Marine Corps officer, who served our nation and the President with distinction. The Democrat platform for 2024: if you can’t beat them, try to throw them in jail.”
A FELONY TWITTER POST?
The indictment of Bobb appears to center around a single post she made on X (formerly Twitter) directed at then-Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers. “Sounds like he needs an excuse to give his angry constituents about why he’s refusing to call a session and examine the fraud in his state. First time it’s been closed the whole pandemic,” Bobb’s post reads.

The attorney representing special counsel Jack Smith before the United States Supreme Court‘s hearing over former President DonaldTrump‘s presidential immunity claim was also a ringleader behind the Russiacollusionhoax. Michael Dreeben, a federal attorney with the Department of Justice (DOJ), was revealed in 2018 as the primary legal mind behind special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into allegations that Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
Dreeben has a long track record of partisan lawfare. Prior to his tenure at the DOJ, he served as a staffer to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). It was Dreeben who, despite the Mueller team knowing that the Russian collusion accusations were false, engineered the legal strategy of pursuing Trump over “obstruction of justice” for opposing the Democrats‘ witch hunt.
In addition to his stint on the Mueller team, Dreeben advised former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance on his “get Trump” operation. Interestingly, Mark Pomerantz was also working with Cyrus Vance at the time and would have likely interacted with Dreeben. Pomerantz likely pushed current Manhattan District Attorney AlvinBragg into pursuing the hush money charges against Trump, which are currently being heard at trial.
The DOJ attorney has argued over 100 cases before the Supreme Court while working in the U.S. Solicitor General’s office. Late last year, conservative commentator Molly Hemmingway — regarding Dreeeben — noted, “That the elite attorney is helping Democrats with their 2024 campaign strategy of lawfare is significant and showcases how much coordination between key Democrat operatives is behind this Soviet-style attempt to imprison President Joe Biden’s political opponents.”

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
A cabal of lawyers, legal analysts for the corporate media, and former Deep State officials is colluding on private Zoom calls every Friday to decide how to cover the various lawfare cases against Donald Trump. The existence of the off-the-record meetings was revealed by POLITICO, which described the participants as “united by their dislike of Trump.”
Norman Eisen, a CNN analyst who served as a special counsel and ambassador under Barack Obama, hosts the group. Eisen recently argued Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” prosecution of Trump is an “election interference” case.
Only some of his cabal’s regular participants were named:
Bill Kristol, a pro-war neoconservative who has pushed Chris Christie to endorse Joe Biden for President;
George Conway, a Never Trumper who persuaded E. Jean Carroll to sue the former president. He also co-founded the Lincoln Project alongside John Weaver, alleged to have groomed and harassed multiple young men, including at least one minor;
Andrew Weissmann, an MSNBC analyst who assisted Robert Mueller’s bogus Trump-Russia investigation as a federal prosecutor;
Mary McCord, a former Justice Department official who hosts an MSNBC podcast alongside Weissmann;
Jeffrey Toobin, a cable news legal analyst previously suspended by The New Yorker for exposing his genitals to a colleague on a Zoom call;
Harry Litman, a Los Angeles Times columnist who served as a U.S. Attorney under Barack Obama;
Barbara McQuade, an MSNBC contractor who also served as a U.S. Attorney under Barack Obama;
Joyce White Vance, another MSNBC contractor who served as a U.S. Attorney under Barack Obama;
The cabal has occasionally invited special guests to speak with them, including lawyers involved in lawfare efforts against Trump.
One was Roberta Kaplan, who spoke to the group for approximately 30 minutes about her efforts to sue Trump on behalf of E. Jean Carroll. The elderly advice columnist claims the former president raped her in the changing rooms of a busy department store in the 1990s.
The group also hosted J. Michael Luttig, who helped lead the failed campaign to bar Trump from running for the presidency again under the 14th Amendment. POLITICO notes the interaction with Luttig “spread dubious analysis,” with call participants arguing the 14th Amendment efforts had merit despite the fact they “never really had a chance.”
POLITICO notes the group also has strong misgivings about DA Bragg’s highly novel case against Trump in Manhattan. They discuss “whether it should have been brought in the first place” regularly.
