Newly obtained emails indicate the whistleblower who sparked the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump with accusations of a ‘quid pro quo’ deal involving U.S. military aid for Ukraine was also connected with the Biden family‘s business affairs in the Eastern European country.
According to White House documents recently released by the National Archives, Eric Ciaramella knew of then-Vice President Joe Biden’s efforts to remove Ukrainian Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the HunterBiden-connected energy firm Burisma.
Ciaramella, who served as a national security analyst and adviser to Biden, responded with surprise in an email to the then-Vice President’s threat to withhold $1 billion in funds for Ukraine unless Shokin was fired. The emails also show that Ciaramella played a key role in discussions within the White House on how to handle Hunter Biden‘s appointment to the Burisma board.
In response to the revelations, George Washington University law professor JonathanTurleytold RealClear Investigations: “It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial [to exonerate Trump].” Turley added, “Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden’s account and established his son’s interest in the Shokin firing.”
When then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt emailed a news item to Ciaramella highlighting Biden‘s attempt to extort the firing of Shokin, he replied: “Yikes. I don’t recall this coming up in our meeting with them.”

Maxwell Crosby Azzarello, the man believed to have lit himself on fire outside the Trump hush money trial in Manhattan earlier today, is a left-wing activist who The National Pulse is told worked on the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. According to an individual who has known Azzarello for many years, he suffered from mental illness and was involuntarily committed at least once in the last year.
“This is truly awful. He was actually a nice guy,” the friend told The Pulse. Despite his leftist politics, Azzarello maintained friendships with conservatives as well. The individual we spoke with works in Republican Party politics.
“THE PONZI PAPERS.”
Azzarello posted an explanation for his self-immolation on his Substack page, entitled “The Ponzi Papers.” His post begins, “My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.”
“We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup,” he wrote before addressing his act of self-immolation: “To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict.”
Azzarello accuses billionaire investor Peter Thiel of purposefully inciting a bank run last year, causing the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. The purpose of the bank run was part of a larger scheme by individuals involved with cryptocurrency to fake a banking crisis so they could move money out of the banks without the public or media noticing. According to Azzarello, who describes himself as an independent researcher, “the banks were used to move out stolen Ponzi money. This signals that they’re no longer dumping cash in to keep the cryptocurrency Ponzi afloat, and that it will soon go insolvent, as all Ponzis must.”
He goes on to claim that when the Ponzi scheme collapses, “it will take down half the stock market” and is the cause of global inflation. Azzarello additionally alleges the U.S. government unleashed the COVID-19 pandemic to cover up the stock market distortions caused by the cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme.
CLINTON AND BUSH CONSPIRACIES.
The rest of his Substack post is a mix of Clinton and Bush family conspiracies that he claims tie them to Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Numerous individuals outside the Manhattan courthouse reported Azzarello was carrying a sign that read: “Trump is with Biden, and they’re about to fascist coup us.” On the back of his sign was a link to his Substack page.
On April 14, 2023, he filed a lawsuit against the Clintons, Thiel, Sam Bankman-Fried, the Winklevoss twins, Joshua Kushner, Anthony Scarramucci, and dozens of others over the alleged cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, which he claims is bringing down the global economy.
ARRESTED IN FLORIDA.
In August of last year, he was arrested in St. John’s County, Florida, for “criminal mischief” and “disturbing the peace.” According to Azzarello’s friend, he has at least two sisters – one who works in television production in New York City and another who produces public art. The friend told The National Pulse that over the last year or two, Azzarello “lost his mind.”

A prospective alternate juror in the Manhattan-based hush money trial of former President Donald Trump was dismissed ‘for cause’ after she repeated the “fine people” hoax and other anti-Trump sentiments as the jury selection process continued on Friday. The former President’s defense attorney, Susan Necheles, objected to the seating of the juror, informing JudgeJuanMerchan, “She said Trump enables homophobic and racist comments.” Assistant District Attorney Susan Hoffinger objected to the challenge, arguing the juror also said she doesn’t hold Trump responsible for the actions of his supporters.
EXCUSED FOR CAUSE.
Judge Merchan asked the juror to elaborate on her views. “His followers feel emboldened by his rhetoric. There was speeches like the ‘both sides’ thing. Does that make sense?” the prospective alternate juror responded. Following additional questioning, Judge Merchan ruled, “I think the safer course is to grant excusal for cause.”
Her reference to the “‘both sides’ thing” almost certainly meant the Democrat and corporatemedia‘s “very fine people on both sides” hoax from 2017. In the aftermath of the Charlottesville protests on August 12, 2017, former President Trump repeatedly condemned the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence” that occurred during the demonstration.
WHAT TRUMP ACTUALLY SAID.
After being continually pressed by the media to condemn only the pro-Robert E. Lee statue demonstrators in the days following the violent protests, Trump responded: “You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides… You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
The National Pulse previously reported that anti-Trump actor and comedian Micahel Rapaport admitted, “I was wrong,” claiming the media had misled him regarding the “very fine people” hoax.

On the same day as a dozen of his family members expressed their support for President JoeBiden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secured a spot on the official ballot in Michigan, a critical swing state in the November presidential election. The ballot qualification moves Kennedy one step closer to qualifying for the 2024 presidential debates.
Kennedy will need to make enough state presidentialballots to be able to win at least 270 electoral votes. Michigan currently awards 15 electors for the Electoral College, boosting the number Kennedy can win — given the current states in which he’s qualified for the ballot — to 52. The independent candidate has over a month until he’ll need to file finalized petitions to qualify for the Texas and New York ballots — with almost every other U.S. state coming thereafter.
The National Pulse previously reported that Kennedy could make the debate stage. In addition to being mathematically competitive in the Electrical College, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) requires candidates to achieve an average of 15 percent of the vote across five national presidential polls. The CPD stipulates which polls qualify.
Kennedy and his running mate, NicoleShanahan, received the nomination from the Natural Law Party, approving their candidacy in Michigan for president and vice president, respectively. Natural Law Party Chairman Doug Dern, in a statement from the independent candidate’s campaign, described Kennedy as “the most qualified candidate in the modern-day history of America.”

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
In a campaign visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday President Joe Biden repeated the Trump “bloodbath” hoax.
During a speech, Biden said that former President Donald Trump “means it” when he allegedly called for a “bloodbath.” In reality, Trump did not call for a bloodbath, but used the term to describe the state of the U.S. auto industry under Joe Biden.
“He called—you know he means it. He argues for another bloodbath when he loses again,” said Biden. Biden’s implication seems to be that Trump is calling for violence should he lose the election.
The National Pulse previously reported that the “bloodbath” hoax was started by MeidasTouch Network, a White House-linkedmedia group known for its controversial contributors and its promotion of anti-Trump disinformation.
Last month, Trump blasted the media for promoting the hoax. “The Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation, pretended to be shocked at my use of the word BLOODBATH, even though they fully understood that I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Biden spreads "bloodbath" hoax on the campaign trail.
JoeBiden cheered his government’s lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump while campaigning in Pennsylvania on Thursday. The 81-year-old Democrat incumbent made the remarks while speaking at the United Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh.
“Under my predecessor, who’s a little busy right now, Pennsylvania lost 275,000 jobs,” Bided said, referring to Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee currently confined to a Manhattancourtroom. The reference to Trump’s ongoing hush money trial brought by Biden-ally and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may come as a surprise to the President’s campaign advisors. Thursday morning, POLITICO reported that the Biden campaign and national Democrats planned to say as little as possible about the ongoing lawfare campaign aimed to interfere with Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
During a press call on Monday, the Biden campaign communications director, Michael Tyler, hinted they and their surrogates would remain relatively quiet on Trump’s trial. “Look, Donald Trump and his team are going to have to speak to his legal issues,” Tyler said. He added: “No matter where Donald Trump is, whether it’s in Mar-a-Lago or a courtroom or anywhere else — he will be focused on himself, his toxic agenda, his campaign of revenge and retribution.”
Judge JuanMerchan, whose daughter has deepties to national Democrats, ordered that Trump be present at court every day his trial is in session. If the former President skips a date to campaign — or even attend his son Barron’s high school graduation — Merchan informed Trump he would be arrested.
The National Pulse reported earlier this week that CNN legal analyst and globalist hatchet man Norman Eisen said the quiet part out loud, albeit unintentionally, insisting that the corporate media shouldn’t refer to Bragg’s prosecution as a “hush money” trial but rather an “‘election interference’” trial.

Younger staff in President JoeBiden‘s WhiteHouse have taken to derisively referring to former President Donald Trump as “Hitler pig.” The moniker appears to be an attempt to emulate the former President’s penchant for effectively neutralizing opponents by assigning them nicknames and is just the latest in a pattern of the Biden government attempting to connect Trump with the genocidal German dictator, despite the public mostly seeing the comparison as absurd.
This isn’t the first time the Biden White House has made the ludicrous claim. The National Pulse reported in early January that aides with Biden’s re-election campaign often joke about when they will go “full Hitler” and make a stark comparison between Trump and the German war criminal and dictator.
Biden’s campaign aides, at the time, signaled they thought the President needed to push the envelope and not simply accuse Trump of parroting language similar to the leader of the German Nazi Party.
In another incident, the corporate media attempted to smear the former President with the Hitler comparison after he told The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, that illegal aliens were “poisoning the blood of our country.” Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) pushed back against the media attacks on Trump, noting: “First of all he didn’t say immigrants were poisoning the blood of this country. He said illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country, which is objectively and obviously true.”
“You guys seem far more upset about the guy who criticized the problem than you do about Joe Biden who’s causing this problem,” Vance continued.
“White House nickname for Trump is ‘Hitler Pig.’ How humorless and pathetic is that?” said Marc Thiessen, a former George W. Bush White House speechwriter, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

America’s hardest workers favor Donald Trump over Joe Biden by a massive margin, according to new data from Emerson College Polling. People who work 60+ hours a week favor Trump by 80 percent. Just seven percent of these workers back Biden, according to the new data. Trump maintains a strong lead over Biden in the 50-59 hour bracket – 59 percent vs. 35 percent. His lead is 50 percent versus 38 percent in the 40-49 hour bracket.
Only in the 30-40 hour bracket does Biden start to become competitive, leading his predecessor by a slim margin of 45 percent to 43 percent. Among those working 20-29 hours, Biden’s lead rises to 52 versus 37 percent. His lead is similar among those working the fewest hours, at 51 versus 38 percent.
The data also reveals Trump is the candidate of the the working class. The poorer a voter believes themselves to be, the more likely they are to support the 45th president.
Fifty percent of those who believe they have a “far below average” income support Trump, against 32 percent who favor Biden. Trump maintains a 49 to 40 percent lead among those who believe they have a below-average income. His lead is 46 percent to 44 percent among those who believe they have an average income.
Biden only leads among those who believe they have an above-average income, 50 percent to 42 percent. This rises to 55 percent versus 29 percent among those who believe they have a “far above average” income.
People’s perception of the economy is also a useful indicator of their support. Emmerson executive director Spencer Kimball notes: “Voters who think the cost of living is rising support Trump over Biden, 56 percent to 32 percent.”
People who “feel the cost of living is easing or staying” support Biden by significant margins, at 94 percent versus 6 percent and 67 percent versus 18 percent, respectively
These Biden-leaning demographics are small, however. Eighteen percent of voters say the cost of living is staying the same, and seven percent say it is easing. Seventy-five percent of voters are in the Trump-leaning demographic who believe the cost of living is increasing.

Constitutional law professor John Eastman, a former legal advisor to Donald Trump, says his bank accounts with two major U.S. financial institutions were abruptly closed in the course of two months in late 2023. This phenomenon, known as “de-banking,” has targeted conservatives in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In June of 2023, Brexit leader Nigel Farage was informed that several of his UK bank accounts would be closed without explanation.
According to Eastman, Bank of America informed him in September 2023 that it would be closing his banking and other financial accounts. The second-largest banking institution in the U.S. offered the former Trump legal advisor no indication of why his account was being closed.
Following the notice from Bank of America, Eastman says he moved his accounts to USAA, a financial services and banking institution that serves military members, veterans, and their families. After just two months with USAA, the legal scholar received a notice that it would also close his accounts in November 2023. The bank cited its “Depository Agreement” as grounds for severing its business relationship with Eastman. Eastman was found preliminarily culpable on 11 charges related to advice he gave former President Trump on the 2020 election just several weeks prior to his de-banking by both institutions.
Bank of America has received tens of billions of taxpayer dollars through federal bailouts. The financial institution received an initial $15 billion in 2008 after the financial crisis. An additional $20 billion — along with a federal guarantee of $100 billion to help cover potential toxic asset losses from its absorption of Merrill Lynch & Co. — was awarded to Bank of America in early 2009. Both Bank of America and USAA also benefit from federal insurance programs.
