Trump’s Bold Play in Historic Alaska Talks plus FBI Targets Deep State Corruption

Trump-Putin Summit on Ukraine War

  • Former President Donald Trump has announced a major summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, scheduled for August 15th in Alaska.
  • The summit's goal is to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, with Trump hinting at possible territorial swaps.
  • This would be the first U.S.-hosted summit with a Russian leader since 1988, and the first Trump-Putin face-to-face since 2019.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern, emphasizing that Ukraine must be part of any peace deal and rejecting any territorial concessions.
  • NATO and EU leaders also insist on Ukraine’s inclusion and oppose forced territorial changes.
  • The White House has not ruled out a trilateral summit including Zelensky, but no formal invitation has been extended yet.
  • Trump had previously set an August 8th deadline for Putin to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions, which was not met.
  • The meeting is portrayed as a legacy-defining moment for Trump, testing his ability to broker peace.

FBI Shakeup and Accountability

  • Cash Patel, reportedly now FBI Director, is said to be “cleaning house” at the FBI, removing officials involved in politically charged investigations.
  • Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, and Patel emphasize defending FBI employees who acted appropriately.
  • Brian Driscoll and Walter Giordina, involved in investigations against Trump allies, were among those forced out.
  • The narrative suggests these removals are part of a broader effort to address politicization and corruption within the FBI.
  • Miranda Devine, a Fox News contributor, supports the changes, citing long-standing scandals and political bias.
  • Pam Bondi, Attorney General, has appointed Ed Martin as a special prosecutor to investigate Adam Schiff and Letitia James for alleged fraud.
  • Grand juries are reportedly convened in Maryland and Virginia, with potential charges carrying up to 30 years in prison.
