Today’s Big Story…

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the FBI is still reviewing “tens of thousands” of child porn videos found with Jeffrey Epstein. She addressed the delay in releasing related documents after a reporter questioned her following a press conference announcement.

“The FBI, they’re reviewing… there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims and no one victim will ever get released, it’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now,” Bondi said. “The FBI is diligently going through that… I’ll call him later.”

Meanwhile, after announcing a 7-day break and assuring the public he was “not suicidal,” journalist James O’Keefe released a new undercover video featuring John Bryan, a former financial advisor. Bryan is seen admitting he once defended Prince Andrew against sex allegations involving Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim who recently killed herself, but later discovered Prince Andrew had lied and was, in fact, involved with underage girls.

Another Big Story…

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 member deported to El Salvador under the Trump administration, is now under DOJ investigation after a convicted smuggler told the FBI he hired Garcia to smuggle noncitizens into the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security released 2022 bodycam footage showing Tennessee troopers stopping Garcia, who was driving a vehicle registered to Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes. Inside were nine passengers with no luggage, raising suspicions of human smuggling. Despite concerns, troopers let Garcia continue after consulting federal agents.

And despite all this overwhelming evidence, including a track record of spousal abuse committed by Garcia, House and Senate Democrats are urging President Trump to bring him back to the U.S., arguing he was unfairly deported under a deal with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

The Administration…

• The White House has withdrawn Dr. Janette Nesheiwat’s nomination for U.S. surgeon general, just before her scheduled Senate hearing. President Trump announced Dr. Casey Means as his new pick.

• President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to China, former Republican Sen. David Perdue, was sworn in. The ceremony comes just days before U.S. officials are set to meet with Chinese counterparts in Switzerland.

• President Trump has proclaimed new national holidays to honor U.S. victories in World War I and World War II. May 8 will now be recognized as Victory Day for WWII, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Allied triumph, while November 11 will mark the WWI armistice.

• Another $60 million F/A-18 fighter jet went overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman, the second such incident in ten days. The jet crashed into the Red Sea during a landing attempt, forcing both pilots to eject.

• The Department of Transportation has removed social justice and DEI initiatives from 3,200 Biden-era grants and cleared a backlog to advance infrastructure projects.

• After President Trump proposed reopening Alcatraz to house violent criminals, former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam offered a different idea. He suggested using San Clemente Island, 90 miles off San Diego, noting it's remote with only a training base—making it ideal for secure incarceration.

• The FBI and DOJ announced the arrest of 205 alleged child sex predators in “Operation Restore Justice,” a nationwide effort praised as historic by Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. They also credited 55 FBI field offices for rescuing 115 victims.

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that five Venezuelan dissidents trapped in the closed Argentine embassy in Caracas for 14 months were successfully rescued and are now on U.S. soil.

• ICE agents raided Chef Geoff’s, a D.C. restaurant owned by CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell’s husband, Geoff Tracy, as part of a crackdown on illegal aliens. The restaurant was one of several targeted in the operation.

• During his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, President Trump plans to announce that the U.S. will start calling the Persian Gulf the "Arabian Gulf," aligning with Arab nations' preferences.

• Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pushed back against Rep. Maxine Waters’ claim that he let “strangers” access Treasury data. At a House hearing, Waters criticized staff from DOGE, but Bessent clarified they are Treasury employees.

• In a 2012 letter to then-Attorney General Eric Holder, current HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged the Obama administration to review an audio clip from his father’s 1968 assassination, which appeared to capture more gunshots than the convicted killer’s weapon could fire. The letter was among thousands of documents released by the National Archives.

Vice President…

JD Vance criticized Russia's demands to end the Ukraine war as excessive, citing conditions like Ukraine abandoning NATO and recognizing seized territories. Speaking at a security conference, he stressed the need for direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Vance added that while Ukraine accepted a proposed 30-day ceasefire, Russia rejected it over strategic concerns.

Congress…

The Resistance…

1. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for the third straight time yesterday, despite President Trump’s calls to cut borrowing costs.

2. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately admit about 12,000 refugees, partially blocking Trump’s executive order halting the refugee program. Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden appointee, rejected the administration’s argument that only 160 should be processed.

3. An investigation revealed that the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF), a federal agency, allegedly misused foreign aid by routing funds through African organizations to covertly pay D.C.-based staff and associates, circumventing U.S. financial oversight. This scheme involved offshore accounts and non-competitive contracts.

4. Chantelle Lavergne Woods of California pleaded guilty to helping hundreds of illegal aliens obtain green cards using fake medical records without a doctor’s approval.

5. New York taxpayers may have to cover Attorney General Letitia James’ legal fees in DOJ probes over alleged real estate fraud. A state budget provision allows certain officials to use a $10 million fund for legal costs tied to Trump-era investigations related to their official duties.

6. Pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with campus security at Columbia University’s main library during an “Emergency Rally.”

7. The U.S. air traffic control system faces about 1,000 equipment failures weekly due to aging infrastructure and staff shortages. A recent radar blackout at Newark Airport, caused by a burnt wire, caused major delays and highlighted these weaknesses.

8. Boise’s city council voted to make the pride flag an official city flag, aiming to bypass a new state law that restricts government flag displays. The law, signed by Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little, allows only the U.S. flag, POW/MIA flag, or official government flags on public property. Details here…

9. USA Fencing Chairman Damien Lehfeldt drew backlash after posting an Instagram photo that appeared to show him giving the middle finger with the caption “Game day.” The post came just before his testimony at a congressional hearing on transgender athletes. See it here…

In Other News…

1. Tensions in the Middle East escalated as India launched missile strikes on Pakistan, claiming retaliation for a massacre of Indian tourists last month. Pakistan called the attack an act of war, saying it shot down several Indian jets. The strikes reportedly killed over two dozen people, including women and children.

2. Luis da Silva, a suspected terrorist deported from the U.S. last month, allegedly planned a horrific attack on Lady Gaga’s concert in Brazil. He intended to livestream the killing of children and plant bombs near the stage during her Copacabana Beach performance for 2.5 million fans.

3. The Catholic Church warned that priests in Washington state will be excommunicated if they comply with a new law requiring them to report child abuse confessions to police. Learn more…

4. Mike Rowe, host of “Dirty Jobs,” raised concerns about the rising number of able-bodied men who are not working or looking for work in the U.S. labor market. Watch here…
