Trump Rejects CBS Offer to Settle $20bn Election Interference Lawsuit.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump rejected a $15 million settlement offer from CBS News in his $20 billion election interference lawsuit, demanding $25 million and a public apology for a deceptively edited Kamala Harris interview in 2024.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, CBS News, Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and the FCC.

📍 Where & When: Arbitration negotiations, with the rejection reported on May 29, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: Trump’s hardline stance may disrupt CBS’s plans for an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires FCC approval.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has rejected a $15 million settlement offer from CBS News in his $20 billion election interference lawsuit against them. The America First leader, who initially filed a $10 billion suit late last year before doubling it, is demanding at least $25 million and an apology for election meddling in 2024.

The lawsuit stems from CBS’s 60 Minutes broadcast during the 2024 presidential race, where the network deceptively edited an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris to make her appear more coherent. By removing a previously previewed “word salad” response about Israel from their final broadcast and interview transcript, CBS is alleged to have deceived the public and violated its duty to report honestly on publicly owned airwaves.

The rejection comes as Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, is desperate to finalize an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media—a deal that requires Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval. Skydance will not move forward until the lawsuit is settled.

Moreover, Trump is reportedly considering a second suit—this time for defamation—after a recent 60 Minutes segment compared him to a “mob boss.”

A Pfizer-COVID Investigation May Finally Be on the Cards.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The House Judiciary Committee is investigating claims that Pfizer executives delayed COVID-19 vaccine trial results to influence the 2020 election.

👥 Who’s Involved: Philip Dormitzer, Pfizer’s former head of vaccine research and development; the House Judiciary Committee; federal prosecutors; and GSK (GlaxoSmithKline).

📍 Where & When: Allegations stem from 2020, with ongoing investigations in 2025.

💬 Key Quote: Dormitzer reportedly stated, “Let’s just say it wasn’t a coincidence, the timing of the vaccine.”

⚠️ Impact: The investigation could reveal whether Pfizer acted to impact the 2020 presidential election, and may lead to further scrutiny of the pharma giant’s practices.

IN FULL:

The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into allegations that Pfizer executives deliberately slowed COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The claims center on comments made by Philip Dormitzer, Pfizer’s former head of vaccine research and development.

According to Dormitzer, Pfizer’s top research executives intentionally delayed the completion of clinical testing, ensuring results would not be available before the election. Dormitzer reportedly told colleagues at his subsequent employer, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), that the timing of the vaccine’s release was “not a coincidence.” GSK later passed this information to federal prosecutors in New York.

The Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, has demanded that Dormitzer provide all relevant documents related to Pfizer’s vaccine trials from March 1, 2020, to the present. Dormitzer has also been asked to schedule a transcribed interview with the committee by May 29. Dormitzer reportedly requested a transfer to Canada after Trump’s 2024 re-election, citing fears of investigation.

Positive trial results, if disclosed earlier, could have politically benefited President Donald J. Trump, then serving his first term. Trump has previously accused Pfizer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of withholding vaccine success to hinder his 2020 re-election campaign.

Over 240,000 Canadians Demand Country Withdraw Elon Musk’s Citizenship.

Over 240,000 Canadians have signed a petition demanding the Canadian government revoke the citizenship of Elon Musk over claims he is trying to “erase” the country. The petition was sponsored by Charlie Angus, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the leftist New Democrats (NDP) and a frequent critic of the billionaire owner of Tesla, X (formerly Twitter), and SpaceX.

The text of the petition accuses Musk of being “engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada” and of using his money to influence Canadian elections. “He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty,” it states, in reference to Musk’s role at President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Musk replied to the petition on his social media platform X, stating, “Canada is not a real country.”

Though the petition has a substantial number of signatories, it is unlikely Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, or his incoming replacement, will strip the billionaire of his Canadian passport.

While Musk has largely been silent on Canadian politics, talking far more about the United Kingdom and Germany online, President Trump has repeatedly suggested the country become the 51st state of the U.S.

President Trump also threatened double-digit tariffs on Canada but delayed the implementation after Prime Minister Trudeau agreed to increase border security and tackle issues around the deadly drug fentanyl.

Documents Reveal AZ AG Colluded with Anti-Trump Attorney’s Non-Profit on Election Lawfare.

Former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark has obtained documents linking the Arizona Attorney General’s office with the States United Democracy Center—a far-left non-profit lawfare group associated with attorney Norm Eisen, a key figure in  President Donald J. Trump’s first sham impeachment. The documents appear to be a retainer agreement from States United to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s office on lawfare aimed to suppress critics of how the state conducts its elections and those who might question the results.

“This letter explains and confirms the terms and conditions under which States United Democracy Center (‘States United’) will undertake to advise the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (‘you’, ‘your’) in connection with developing legal strategies to ensure the integrity and security of elections,” the letter of understanding reads. Although the primary attorneys assigned to coordinate with the attorney general’s office are redacted, the States United letter notes other attorneys or non-attorney staff with the lawfare non-profit “may handle various portions of this matter pro bono or otherwise…”

The letter confirming the partnership was sent just nine days before Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) secured a sprawling series of indictments against 18 individuals associated with President Trump over allegations they attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Notably, the grand jury empaneled by Mayes went much further than the Democrat attorney general intended, indicting both Trump campaign attorney Christina Bobb and Jenna Ellis—both of whom were told by Mayes’s office that they were not under investigation.

Meanwhile, Eisen—the executive chair of States United—has a long record of anti-Trump actions. In April 2024, The National Pulse reported that Eisen hosted a weekly conference call of globalist leaders and Deep State apparachiks to strategize on how to expand the lawfare campaign against Trump.

Pollster J. Ann Selzer Claims She Is ‘Mystified’ by Election Interference Allegations.

J. Ann Selzer, the pollster involved in the controversial survey that inaccurately forecasted Iowa would favor Democrats in the 2024 election, is addressing allegations that she manipulated her polling data. The poll, sponsored by the Des Moines Register, suggested Vice President Kamala Harris was leading President-elect Donald J. Trump by three points in the predominantly Republican state. Ultimately, Trump secured Iowa by over 13 points.

In a recent interview on PBS’s Iowa Press, Selzer dismissed allegations that she manipulated data intentionally. “I’m mystified about what motivation anyone thinks I had to act unethically in such a public poll,” Selzer remarked. Despite this, she expressed concern over the seriousness of the accusations, noting, “They’re saying this was election interference, which is a crime.”

Some critics have insinuated that Selzer colluded with or was influenced by external parties to skew the poll results. Meanwhile, President-elect Trump blasted the survey in a post on Truth Social in mid-November.

“A totally Fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time,” Trump wrote, continuing: “She knew exactly what she was doing.”

“Thank you to the GREAT PEOPLE OF IOWA for giving me such a record breaking vote, despite possible ELECTION FRAUD by Ann Selzer and the now discredited ‘newspaper’ for which she works. An investigation is fully called for!” he added.

Selzer accurately forecasted the outcomes of the 2016 and 2020 presidential races and the margin of Barack Obama’s 2012 win. When asked about her methodology’s failure in this election, Selzer stated, “I wish I knew the answer… The reality is that more Trump supporters turned out.” She awaits further data from the Iowa Secretary of State.

Two weeks after the election, Selzer announced she was retiring from polling.

Judge Enforces Subpoena Against ActBlue, Advancing Fundraising Probe Against Dems.

A Wisconsin court decision is placing increasing scrutiny on ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform. Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a subpoena directed at ActBlue, demanding explanations concerning GOP consultant Mark Block’s claims about unauthorized donations using his email identity. This legal action is part of a broader investigation coordinated by Congress and 19 state attorneys general.

Judge Schimel rejected ActBlue’s objections, which claimed compliance with the subpoena was overly burdensome. The court granted Block and his legal team from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) permission to pursue discovery, aiming to uncover potential fraud tied to the unauthorized donations from his old email address linked to various liberal campaigns.

ActBlue’s efforts to resist the subpoena, primarily on behalf of a purported contributor known as Bernard Cain, were unsuccessful. Judge Schimel highlighted that ActBlue operates as a contribution conduit, emphasizing the need for transparency in this case.

“Something is not right,” Judge Schimel declared when approving the subpoena. He continued: “There may be an element of fraud, or maybe it is innocent. Plaintiff has set forth enough in their complaint and in support of their subpoena to demonstrate that there may be something here.”

Block initiated legal action this fall, alleging that his identity was part of a broader conspiracy exploiting the ActBlue platform under civil racketeering laws. This case aligns with findings from the House Administration Committee, which identified numerous suspicious transactions on the platform. These transactions seemingly involved donors who lacked the financial capacity for such contributions.

Meanwhile, the investigation has gained momentum, expanding to 19 states. ActBlue has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Additionally, House investigators have issued a subpoena to ActBlue amid broader inquiries into possible illicit foreign funding. The Treasury Department’s detection system flagged hundreds of suspicious activity reports related to the platform, prompting further legislative scrutiny.

Interference: Google Only Provides Vote Location Info For Those Wanting to Vote For Kamala Harris.

Voters for Democrat candidate Kamala Harris are aided by tech giant Google when they ask where to vote, but typing in the same query for President Donald J. Trump yields no help from the company.

Typing in the phrase “where to vote for Harris” shows a “where to vote” search box for voters to find their nearest polling station, along with an overview, polling data, and other topics connected to the 2024 presidential race.

However, when the phrase “where to vote for Trump” is input into Google, the search engine does not provide the same service. Instead, the top results are news articles followed by the official website of the Trump campaign, which has its own page showing voting locations.

The issue comes just months after Google search results seemed to omit autocomplete searches of the attempted assassination of President Trump in July.

Google has also banned ads in the past for Trump and compared Trump’s book, Crippled America, to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf in its image search results.

Democrat Allegedly Circulates Fraudulent Ballots in Rhode Island.

A Rhode Island state lawmaker is being accused of producing and distributing a sample ballot that is made to look like an official state election ballot—causing confusion among voters. Only Democrat candidates are visible on the ballot, with the lines for candidates representing other political parties being blanked out entirely.

State Representative Michelle McGaw allegedly distributed a Democratic Party sample ballot with markings that closely resemble the state printed ballots—including the state seal and the wording “State of Rhode Island Official Ballot.” Anthony D’Ellena, Vice Chairman of the Narragansett Republican Town Committee and McGaw’s election opponent, says he’s contacted the Rhode Island Secretary of State regarding the matter but has not received a response.

Patricia Morgan, the former Republican minority leader in the Rhode Island State House and current candidate for Congress, supports D’Ellena’s assertion of potential ballot fraud.

“My campaign has received disturbing reports of official ballots being used to mislead voters in Portsmouth. Current State Representative Michelle McGaw and the wife of former RI Senator Seveney have been stationed outside polling locations, distributing official Rhode Island ballots that are purposely defaced,” Morgan wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). She added: “These ballots have Democrats pre-selected, while Republican candidates’ names are whited out, making it impossible for voters to make an informed choice.”

According to Rhode Island General Law § 17-19-43, it is a crime to tamper with or deface a ballot. “Every person who willfully and without lawful authority destroys, secretes, removes, defaces, alters, tampers, or meddles with a sample ballot, shall be guilty of a felony,” the law reads.

Soros-Funded Fake News Group Spent Millions Supporting Kamala on Facebook.

An alleged media organization funded by leftist billionaire George Soros spent $9 million on digital Facebook ads supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. Courier Newsroom, a Democrat dark money group that purports to be a network of local news outlets, is behind the ad campaign launched in August.

The ads primarily promote Democratic candidates, including Harris—though some also attack President Donald J. Trump over issues such as abortion and access to contraception. While Democrat and Republican political action committees (PACs) can run their own digital ads on Facebook, the social media platform labels the content as coming from a political organization and requires a disclaimer identifying the group behind the message.

However, Courier Newsroom is able to skirt this requirement by submitting its ads through a separate portal for media news outlets despite their clear partisan content. Additionally, while election and candidate PACs must disclose their donors publicly through the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Courier Newsroom is not subject to the same rules.

The Democratic dark money ad campaign has spent a total of $9.2 million since August 3, 2024, focused predominantly on the key battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina. While the group’s spending may appear paltry compared to the hundreds of millions being spent on television advertising, digital ads are relatively cheap and can still reach large audiences online. In addition, Courier Newsroom appears to have used propriety data to micro-target its Facebook ads in an effort to influence young women.

In April, The National Pulse reported that Tara McGowan, founder of Courier Newsroom and its parent company Good Information Inc., had made almost 20 visits to the Biden-Harris White House. The meetings have raised concerns regarding potential election coordination.

Missouri Sues Biden-Harris DOJ Over Election Interference.

Missouri’s Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Attorney General Andrew Bailey are suing the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations that the federal government is interfering in the state’s election process. The lawsuit claims the DOJ is dispatching unauthorized monitors to polling locations in St. Louis in contravention of several federal statutes and the Supreme Court’s Shelby County v. Holder decision.

“To secure elections, Missouri exercised that traditional authority by enacting a law that strictly limits who, besides voters, can be present in a polling location,” the court filing states, adding: “Poll monitors employed by DOJ are not on that list. Yet without specifically citing any federal authority authorizing its actions, DOJ announced on Friday November 1 its intent to displace Missouri law and place unauthorized poll monitors in polling locations in the City of St. Louis.”

Ashcroft and Bailey note in the filing that the Biden-Harris DOJ attempted a similar move during the 2022 midterm elections. However, the DOJ reversed its decision after Ashcroft argued in a letter that they lacked statutory authority.

“No one is above the law,” the Missouri Secretary of State said in a statement on Monday. He added: “The law clearly and specifically limits who may be in polling places and this action by the DOJ is not allowed. Once again the federal government is attempting to illegally interfere in Missouri’s elections.”

“Two years ago, we met with the DOJ. We showed them the law and explained that they have no jurisdiction to interfere in Missouri elections. Now they are doing the same thing; trying to go through the back door by contacting local election officials and making false jurisdictional claims for access rather than contacting my office directly,” Ashcroft continued before concluding: “It would be highly inappropriate for federal agents to violate the law by intimidating Missouri voters and harassing poll workers.”
