Cincinnati Police Chief Announces Five Charged, Complains Vicious Beating of White Man and Woman “Undoing the Good Stuff That Happened This Weekend”, Blames Social Media

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge held a press conference Monday afternoon on the beating of a white man and white woman by a mostly Black mob in the downtown area late Friday night/early Saturday morning that has drawn national attention.

Theetge said five people have been arrested, but did not release their names nor their charges, but said more arrests are expected. Theetge said police are trying to locate some of those charged.

An annoyed Theetge opened the press conference by praising the city for holding multiple major events with over 150,000 people Friday night, bitterly complaining that “unfortunately we had one incident, one incident late Friday into Saturday that is getting all the attention and undoing the good stuff that happened this weekend.”

After announcing charges have been filed against five individuals and saying more charges would likely be made, saying only one 911 call was made, blaming parents for juvenile behavior and saying that local establishments would be investigated for overserving alcohol to some involved in the incident, Theetge blasted social media posters for their coverage of the vicious beatings, even after acknowledging “I like many woke up Saturday morning to the video.”:

“Another topic I want to cover real quick, social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident. And yes guys, that’s you. That is you. Social media, the post that we’ve seen does not depict the entire incident. That is one version of what occurred. At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event. What that does, that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity and enforcing the law. Because what happens that social media post and your coverage of it distorts the content of what actually happened and it makes our job more difficult.”

Incredibly, Theetge said she did not know if the victims went to the hospital or what their conditions are:

Reporter: “Chief, did anyone go to the hospital? If so, how many people went to the hospital and what are their conditions?”

Chief Theetge: “I don’t know if they went to the hospital after. I know that when the officers who arrived on the scene, based on the body cam footage that I have watched that all of the victims were still on the scene and they appeared to be as well as could possibly be expected.”

A man had the tar beaten out him by a mob who punched, body slammed and repeatedly kicked him in the head. A woman was sucker punched by a large man so hard she was knocked out with blood streaming from her mouth. Yet Chief Theetge has no idea how these people are who were savagely beaten by a mob on her streets on one of her city’s biggest nights that has drawn the attention of Ohio native Vice President J.D. Vance and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division.

Videos of the attack were first posted not by social media reporters, but by Cory Bowman, the Republican candidate for Cincinnati mayor and half-brother to Vice President Vance. In his Facebook post, Bowman blasted Cincinnati officials for not having a police presence where the attacks occurred. Bowman’s opponent in November’s election, incumbent Democrat Mayor Aftab Pureval waited until Monday to address the attack.

Excerpt from Bowman’s Facebook post:

Violence erupted at 4th St. and Elm St. in Cincinnati last night. Let me tell you about a chaotic Friday night in our city.

The Banks, an area long plagued by crime, hosted a Cincinnati Reds home game and the Cincinnati Music Festival at Paycor Stadium. At midnight, I received a message from a friend who has lived at The Banks for 20 years: “Tonight, people are everywhere. I see one police car and zero officers. I hate to bother you, but I’m keeping you in the loop. This isn’t logical for any city.”

This week, the Mayor, City Manager, and Police Chief held a press conference and a special City Hall meeting to address these issues. City officials outlined plans for a juvenile curfew and promised enforced consequences for criminal actions. They emphasized that they are not restricting police or directing officers to avoid enforcing the law.

However, last night, as I received videos, pictures, and messages, I learned that officers were instructed to take juveniles to curfew centers, where parents would pick them up, without facing legal consequences for violating curfew or other laws. Officers have been instructed not to cite the parents for curfew violations. Officers were also explicitly told, “Do not bring them to 2020 (the juvenile detention center).” The problem? Many youths refuse to provide their information, and some parents don’t show up. This leaves officers stuck babysitting through the night.

Short-staffed and forced to prioritize which situations to address, officers are directed to transport kids to curfew centers rather than enforce the law fully. Many feel there’s no point in making arrests due to the county prosecutors’ catch-and-release policy. Officers also fear that enforcing the law could lead to criticism, with little support from city leadership.

Residents know what’s happening. Single mothers, children, and families of all backgrounds living downtown fear for their safety. Meanwhile, those who know they can evade consequences walk the streets with increasing confidence and boldness.
This is trickle-down incompetence from the Mayor, City Manager, the majority of the City Council, the Police Chief, and their advisors. Good people in the city, government, and police department are demoralized, feeling there’s no hope for change.

Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) posted Monday the victims had not heard from local officials, “Cincinnati Mayor waits over two days to issue a poll tested statement. I’ve been in touch with all of the victims. They haven’t heard a word from their Mayor or their Congressman. Pathetic.”

BREAKING: Active Shooter in Manhattan, NYPD Officer Among the Victims (VIDEO)

Law enforcement urged people to stay away from the vicinity of East 52nd Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue on Monday evening amid reports of an active shooter wearing a bulletproof vest and armed with a semiautomatic rifle.

An NYPD officer and at least one civilian are reportedly among the victims, but their identities and conditions are unclear.

Unconfirmed photos of the suspect show him to be a black male wearing sunglasses.

According to early reports on social media, the NYPD requested a “Level 3 Mobilization Response.”

Photos posted to social media showed officers with guns drawn entering the building at 345 Park Avenue. Pix 11 reports, “Multiple people were reportedly shot on the 32nd floor of the building, police say.”

The initial shooting began on the street, but the suspect fled into the building, according to early reports.

Fox 5 reports:

A very heavy police presence was observed near 51st Street and Park Avenue. Witnesses, including a FOX 5 NY employee, reported hearing gunshots.

NYPD and Sheriff’s Department officers in protective gear were seen with guns drawn.

Video taken by a FOX 5 NY employee shows several officers carrying a person, and other officers appear to be tending to a person lying on the ground.

“Due to police activity, please avoid the vicinity of East 52 Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Expect emergency vehicles & delays in the surrounding area,” the NYPD wrote in a post on X as the situation unfolded.

Details about the number of victims, the target, the motive, or the suspect have not been publicly released at this time.

New York has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

The situation is active and ongoing. The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates as the situation unfolds.

Importing Capital, Not Chaos: The Pro-America Visa (VIDEO)

As conservatives, we champion secure borders, the rule of law, and an America First agenda that prioritizes our citizens. But putting America first isn’t just about policy, it’s also about investment and capital.

This may surprise you, but foreign investment can help us secure our nation.  The right type of foreign investment.  The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is working and working very well. It’s a system that channels foreign wealth into U.S. businesses: creating jobs and boosting our economy without costing taxpayers anything. Like most programs in D.C. the program is now the center of controversy.  Fake news, misinformation, and sensationalistic rhetoric is now being spread about the EB-5 visas. It may come as no surprise, but do NOT believe what you hear.  The system is a win for Americans.  We get wealthy, freedom-loving foreigners who are willing to invest in American businesses in return for the ability to come and live here. Which means instead of importing poverty to America, like the previous administration, we import entrepreneurs who will help America grow and prosper.

Congress established the EB-5 visa program in 1990.  It’s designed as a fast track to permanent residency for foreigners who invest significant capital in U.S. businesses.  Those businesses must create at least 10 full-time jobs for American workers.  The EB-5 program fuels the growth of small business in America.  And small business is at the heart of our economy.

I have seen firsthand, EB-5 investment in poor rural areas in America as well as inner city areas that are both plagued with unemployment. The investors often put up at least $800,000 dollars or more often in places few Americans are willing to invest in. The entrepreneur seeking a residency in America gets no guarantees except the shot at receiving a green card, provided they meet the strict requirements.

What critics refuse to tell you is that this program has already pumped billions into our economy, generating tens of thousands of jobs, all while maintaining a pristine record of investor integrity.

As a business owner I see how the program turns foreign capital into American opportunity. Between 2008 and 2021, EB-5 generated $37.4 billion in foreign direct investment, funding projects like hotels, infrastructure, and real estate developments. These aren’t pie-in-the-sky schemes; they’re concrete contributions to American communities that need it most.

The EB-5 program employs a rigorous application process because we want to ensure we are only inviting in pro-America, pro-freedom investors. Applicants must follow strict protocol: proving their funds are lawful, undergoing extensive background checks, and sustaining their investment for years. If EB-5 visa holders don’t live up to requirements, their visas are revoked.

The program’s track record speaks for itself. I can’t find any evidence of EB-5 visa holders being convicted of crimes or causing problems in America. In 2005, government investigators found fraud on behalf of program operators not the investors. Those responsible were arrested and prosecuted. In 2022, Congress refined the EB-5 visa system leading to better oversight and vetting of potential investors. As a result, program compliance rates are now reaching all time highs.

This isn’t a wide-open floodgate to America either. The EB-5 program has an annual allocation of fewer than 10,000  visas. In 2024 we saw that many foreigners use the Biden era CBP One app to enter America each day! Unlike other visa programs, it doesn’t displace American workers; it creates jobs for them—over 1.7 million between 2016-2019 alone. These are American jobs created with foreign money, that could have been spent elsewhere.

The EB-5 visa program is self-funded, with zero cost to the taxpayer. It’s a model of what immigration policy should be: selective, merit-based, and America-first. Under President Trump’s leadership, the program was strengthened, with investment thresholds raised in 2019 to ensure only serious investors qualify. The 2022 reforms added more transparency and accountability. The program proves, we can have secure borders and economic growth.  We don’t have to choose.

EB-5 visa holders are investors, not freeloaders. They don’t drain our government services, they create a tax base to help pay for those services. These are America-loving investors who want to build America with us.

The EB-5 program proves it’s possible to uphold conservative principles while harnessing global wealth for American prosperity. Congress should expand this program, maximize its potential, and send a clear message: America is open for business, not for open borders.

BREAKING: ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Employed as a POLICE OFFICER in Maine

ICE Agents arrested a Jamaican illegal alien who was actually employed as an officer for the Old Orchard Police Department in Maine.

According to Fox News, the illegal, Jon Luke Evans, tried to illegally purchase a gun, which triggered an alert to ATF.

Evans reportedly lawfully entered the US in September 2023, but overstayed his visa when he never left on his departure flight scheduled for October 1, 2023.

“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm. Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer. The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our New England communities,” Patricia Hyde, the Field Office Director for ICE Boson said to Fox News in a statement.

More than 20 million illegal aliens entered the US on Joe Biden’s watch. Additionally, Joe Biden allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants from third-world countries to enter the US on parole programs.

Earlier this month Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller said over 1 million illegal aliens have already self-deported.

“At every turn, illegal aliens have always been treated better than Americans. The difference is, in this administration, they are getting a ticket out of America,” Stephen Miller told Jesse Watters.

Hypocrisy Alert: Sen. Dick Durbin—Who Blocked Epstein Client List—Now Demands Release of Recordings Between Ghislaine Maxwell and DOJ

(U.S. National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Aaron Rodriguez)

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the same man who worked to block the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s explosive client list, is now demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) cough up recordings, transcripts, and notes from its private, high-level interviews with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Durbin, who helped bury the names of Epstein’s elite friends and enablers, suddenly wants transparency… now that Donald Trump’s DOJ is involved.

Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime accomplice and the convicted recruiter of underage girls for his elite sex-trafficking ring, sat down for two intensive days of questioning with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

According to her lawyer, Maxwell spoke about “a hundred people,” answered every question, and withheld nothing.

“Miss Maxwell answered every single question. She never invoked privilege. She never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully,” said attorney David Markus, who described her prison conditions as worse than what “we would keep animals in.”

But now, after years of shielding the powerful elites who flew on Epstein’s jet and partied at his private island—including Bill Clinton, who reportedly made 28 trips—Durbin has suddenly found religion on DOJ transparency.

In a letter co-signed with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Durbin questioned why Deputy AG Blanche would meet with Maxwell himself rather than leave the task to line prosecutors.

He went as far as to warn about the potential of a “corrupt bargain” between Trump’s DOJ and Maxwell.

“What does the Justice Department want out of Ghislaine Maxwell? She’s a proven liar and sex trafficker. The timing of her meeting with Deputy Attorney General Blanche doesn’t pass the sniff test. They’re on notice—no political games here,” the Senate Judiciary Democrats wrote on X.

The letter reads as follows:

We are writing to follow up on Ranking Member Durbin’s initial inquiry of July 18, 2025, regarding information from Attorney General Bond’s reporting, including his July 7 memorandum calling the Trump Administration’s “lukewarm review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein.” Since that time, we have each since heard even more questions about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) transparency and mismanagement of information as it relates to the Epstein/Maxwell investigation and prosecution.

On July 21, 2025 you stated on social media that “for the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to discuss the Epstein case.” You confirmed that this meeting took place in Florida on July 24, 2025, and continued the following day. While Ms. Maxwell is currently incarcerated in a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility serving a 20-year sentence, she has signaled interest in cooperating to discuss Epstein’s business crimes.

The purpose and timing of this meeting are perplexing. Ms. Maxwell was federally indicted and was tried in 2021 for aiding Mr. Epstein’s human trafficking of minors. DOJ prosecutors did not seek her cooperation at the time. Maxwell refused to plead guilty or participate in plea negotiations. Instead, she went to trial and was convicted. She has continued to assert her role in facilitating the abuse of minors by Mr. Epstein. In fact, during Ms. Maxwell’s sentencing, she made the following remarks:

“I acknowledge that I have been convicted of helping Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes. The greatest regret of my life is that I ever met Jeffrey Epstein. . . . Epstein fooled all of those in his orbit. His victims considered him a godfather, mentor, benefactor, friend, lover. He is none of those things. . . . I hope that this brings the victims measure of peace and finality.”

In her public trial and sentencing, she was identified as Epstein’s key co-conspirator. During prosecution, DOJ prosecutors argued in court that her “willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct, including some of the conduct charged in the indictment, strongly suggests that her motive has been and remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes.”

This is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for the Deputy Attorney General to conduct such an interview, rather than line prosecutors who are familiar with the details of the case and can readily determine the witness’s lying.

In their effort to overcome an extensive record and to manage multiple investigations, a federal jury conviction, and Ms. Maxwell’s history and DOJ allegations from this office, this act raises new questions of whether DOJ may be willing to overlook known bad acts as part of a reduced sentence or leniency.

During the trial, former lead DOJ appellate official informed immunity to speak with Ms. Maxwell, a prosectuor’s incentive to secure cooperation from alleged co-conspirators in criminal cases, who she has already been tried and convicted.

It seems likely this meeting is another tactic to distract from DOJ’s failure to fulfill Attorney General Bond’s commitment that the American people would “see” the Epstein files,” especially in light of credible reports that FBI actions helped to redact Epstein’s logs in which President Trump was mentioned but not Attorney General Bond or President Obama.

President that has since appeared in the files. As you know, Ms. Maxwell is currently pursuing an online grievance in her 2021 conviction for her role in the same crimes she is now offering to revisit.

Given her documented lying and her role in the earlier abuse, DOJ must explain its actions. Maxwell may not provide the best information or accurate information, in return for a pay-out or sentence commutation,” indeed, NewsNation TV noted to reporters the Friday she is “allowed to produce files.

Maxwell has repeatedly offered to declassify and “help save the secrets of your life” files and this may be the “first time” DOJ has reached out to Ms. Maxwell to ask serious questions about her Epstein administration activities. This is especially true if this is the first time DOJ instead of New York, reached out and promised Ms. Maxwell.

Due to the serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump Administration and Ghislaine Maxwell, and the impact this would have on the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Maxwell’s horrific abuses, we ask that you make the following public commitments:

  1. That DOJ will provide full transparency to the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and will respect the law decisions the Department makes regarding Ms. Maxwell’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court; and

  2. That DOJ will not offer a pardon or commutation of sentence to Ms. Maxwell in exchange for information or evidence for a pardon or commutation of sentence to herself, unless it is behalf to the White House in exchange for her cooperation in full.

The victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have been repeatedly let down in the criminal justice system. This case was initially brought by the Trump Administration, where during a previous Administration, the Department entered into a favorable, “secret non-prosecution agreement with Epstein without alerting his numerous victims.”

This cannot happen again. Rather than repeating this deliberate move, DOJ should simply release the facts. Neither Attorney General Bond promised to do so.

We also ask that, in addition to the requests in Ranking Member Durbin’s July 18, 2025 letter, you provide the following information and materials no later than August 4, 2025:

  1. Please provide a detailed explanation of why DOJ believes Ms. Maxwell will be truthful now and/or “arguing in court about her” willingness to cooperate that will not be another rebranded version of her historic denials since this 2020 assessment by the Trump Administration.

  2. Please provide a detailed explanation of what information DOJ believes Ms. Maxwell possesses that has not been subject to negotiation since the public truth about Jeffrey Epstein that did not occur prior to her 2020 arrest and indictment.

  3. Please provide a detailed explanation of why DOJ concluded in the July 7 memorandum that there is “no incriminating client list” here before seeking to question Ms. Maxwell.

  4. Please identify the names and titles of every person present during the July 24-25, 2025 interviews of Ms. Maxwell.

  5. Please provide all recordings, transcripts, reports of investigations, FD-302s, or case notes from your interviews of Ms. Maxwell.

  6. Please provide all previous recordings, transcripts, reports of investigations, FD-302s, or case notes from prior interviews of Ms. Maxwell.

  7. Please provide the complete terms of the limited immunity proffer to Ms. Maxwell to secure her cooperation with the July 24-25, 2025 interviews.

  8. Please provide a complete description of any other agreement, oral or written, DOJ has entered into with Ms. Maxwell regarding this or any future interviews.

  9. Please provide a complete list of every DOJ unit that DOJ had your office pulled from to review the FBI’s redactions in the Epstein-related cases.

  10. Please provide the number of attorneys your office assigned to review the FBI’s redactions in the Epstein-related records and a calculation of personnel hours dedicated to this task.

  11. Please provide the Microsoft SharePoint online collaborative file that your office maintained that logged the mentions of President Trump and others in the Epstein-related records reviewed by DOJ and FBI.

Pilot Arrested on Plane in Child Sex Abuse Case Identified by Sheriff’s Office

The Delta pilot arrested on board his plane just after it landed in San Francisco Saturday night has been identified by authorities as 34-year-old Rustom Bhagwagar from Florida. Bhagwagar was arrested by Contra Costa Sheriff’s detectives aided by Homeland Security agents on five counts of (sexual abuse) of a child under 10.

In a statement to the media, Delta said the pilot has been suspended, “Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful conduct and will fully cooperate with law enforcement. We are appalled by reports of the charges related to the arrest and the individual in question has been suspended pending an investigation.”

Excerpt from previous TGP report:

Dramatic video footage surfacing online appears to show approximately 10 federal law enforcement officers, reportedly including Homeland Security Investigations agents and air marshals, storming the cockpit of Delta Air Lines Flight 2809 moments after the Boeing 757–300 landed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

The flight had arrived from Minneapolis, completing a delayed second landing approach due to heavy fog, touching down around 9:35 p.m. local time on Saturday evening.

The footage — shared on the aviation blog View from the Wing — shows agents entering the cockpit, handcuffing a co‑pilot, then escorting him down the aisle and removing him from the aircraft.

Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office press release via Facebook:

Suspect Arrested at SFO

Detectives from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Investigation Division have been conducting an investigation since April 2025 after receiving a report of sex crimes against a child. A Ramey arrest warrant was later secured for the suspect.

Through the investigation, it was learned that the suspect was an airline pilot and that he was due to fly into San Francisco International Airport on the evening of Saturday, July 26, 2025.

At about 9:35 PM, Sheriff’s Office detectives, with the assistance of Homeland Security Investigations, boarded the plane to arrest the suspect who is identified as 34-year-old Rustom Bhagwagar of Florida. He was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on five counts of oral copulation with a child under 10 years of age. He is being held in lieu of $5 million bail.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600. For any tips, email: tips@so.cccounty.us or call (866) 846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

California’s “Ramey Warrant” explanation via the Bulldog law firm (excerpt):

To obtain a Ramey Warrant, law enforcement submits a declaration of probable cause to a judge, outlining the evidence suggesting the suspect’s involvement in a crime. Once the judge finds the evidence sufficient, they will issue the warrant, allowing for the suspect’s arrest.

This process is quicker than the traditional method, where law enforcement waits for the district attorney to file charges before seeking an arrest warrant. The speed of a Ramey Warrant is particularly crucial in urgent situations, such as when there is a risk that the suspect may flee or destroy evidence.

…Once a Ramey Warrant is issued, law enforcement will locate and arrest the suspect, who must be brought before a judge within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). The suspect must be released if the district attorney does not file formal charges within this period.

Issuing a Ramey Warrant does not guarantee criminal charges. The district attorney must review the evidence and decide whether to file charges. If charges are not filed, the suspect is released, and the arrest may not lead to a conviction. Navigating the legal process after a criminal arrest in California is crucial to understanding your rights and options during this time.

Will Russiagate Operatives Be Brought To FULL Justice? | Drew Hernandez

Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, declassified documents in July 2025, revealing they show the Obama administration officials manufactured intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. She immediately called it “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Trump’s 2016 election victory, naming officials like James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, and Barack Obama. Gabbard sent these documents to the Justice Department for criminal referral, asserting they reveal a politicized effort to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.

President Trump himself also publicly stated all involved are guilty of treason and should be in jail for their high crimes. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, in a July 27, 2025, Fox News interview, suggested that further exposed intel on Brennan, Comey, and Clinton could lead to prosecutions, referencing his own referrals to the DOJ. Will Pam Bondi’s DOJ deliver on serious charges?

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem and Whistleblower Shawn Taylor Uncover Evidence of ActBlue Real Estate Fraud and Money Laundering Scheme in the Billions — “The Motherlode of All Financial Crimes”

F

Source: Unleashed.news

Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem, who also serves as the Executive Director of the Election Fairness Institute (EFI), and former Tennessee Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor, the Senior Research Analyst for EFI, have been quietly leading a bombshell investigation into what may be the largest money laundering and real estate fraud scheme in U.S. history. According to exclusive evidence shared with Unleashed.news and The Gateway Pundit, suspicious property transactions totaling in the billions are now under review, with the trail pointing directly at top ActBlue leadership, its donor network, and a web of accomplices.

At the center of this shocking discovery is what investigators are calling the “Magic Mortgage” Money Laundering Scheme, which appears to be tied directly to ActBlue and its donor channels. This scheme allegedly uses inflated property sales and rapid same-day flips as a pipeline to funnel illicit funds through the U.S. financial and political systems.

In a years-long investigation, Finchem’s team, along with whistleblower Shawn Taylor, a former law enforcement officer from Millersville, Tennessee, have uncovered patterns of multiple same-day property transfers where values were inflated by as much as 100 times the original sale amount within hours.

The evidence is staggering: property sale histories pulled from LexisNexis, one of the most trusted, top-tier real estate and public records platforms. LexisNexis is widely regarded as the gold standard in aggregating property and deed records directly from county recorder and clerk offices across the United States.

We have the EXCLUSIVE

Unleashed.news has interviewed both Senator Finchem and Shawn Taylor directly and has poured over an excruciating amount of documentation. This evidence has already been shared with the Department of Justice and the FBI, signaling that federal investigations — and even potential congressional hearings — are on the horizon.

“What we are seeing looks like the motherlode of all money laundering schemes,” said Senator Mark Finchem. “It’s so vast that it touches everything: political slush funds, cartel money, human trafficking proceeds, and possibly even CCP (Chinese Communist Party) cash being funneled into the U.S.”

“There are just too many of these 100% same-day spike transactions for this to be dismissed as a simple scrivener’s error,” said whistleblower Shawn Taylor. “When the numbers jump by a factor of 100 in a matter of hours, across multiple properties and states, it points to something deliberate and systemic.”

The Press Release That Started It All

At the heart of this unfolding scandal is a press release issued by Finchem’s investigative team and Taylor’s group at the Election Fairness Institute (EFI). This document outlines the first wave of properties under review and the shocking patterns emerging in their deed histories.

Read the full press release here — embedded below for our readers

The Pattern: Same-Day Transactions, 100x Markups

The investigation uncovered repeated cases where a property was sold at market value and, within the same day, transferred again for 100 times the amount. These weren’t isolated incidents. Evidence pulled from LexisNexis shows this occurring across multiple properties in California, Texas, and other states, with total suspicious value spikes estimated to hit billions of dollars.

Unleashed.news has independently reviewed live LexisNexis data alongside Taylor, confirming that these transactions are embedded in the platform’s official property history records.

FBI & DOJ Briefed — Hearings Likely

Both Finchem and Taylor have confirmed that this evidence has already been handed to the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The explosive nature of these findings makes congressional hearings and subpoenas all but inevitable.

“This isn’t just about real estate fraud. This is about the financial pipelines that fuel everything rotten in America right now,” said Senator Finchem. “When you see numbers this big, you’re looking at cartel money, you’re looking at human trafficking cash, you’re looking at foreign adversaries buying influence through corrupted systems. We are going to follow the money.”

ActBlue Under the Microscope

As part of the investigation, Finchem’s team and Taylor’s research have compiled a growing body of evidence that puts ActBlue directly under the microscope. A newly obtained document, a March 10, 2025 letter from congressional oversight committees to the U.S. Treasury, is now being introduced into the record as supporting evidence. This letter specifically raises concerns about potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity tied to ActBlue and requests Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to money laundering, credit card fraud, and identity theft.

This document, combined with EFI’s findings, establishes a powerful evidentiary trail that the suspicious money flows uncovered in the “Magic Mortgage” scheme may align directly with ActBlue’s massive fundraising networks and a web of shell entities. If confirmed, it would expose one of the most elaborate and well-funded dark money operations ever uncovered in U.S. politics and could unravel a massive network of illicit financial activity flowing through America’s property markets.

This Is Just the Beginning

The Gateway Pundit can confirm this is the first in a multi-part investigative series that will track this story as it unfolds in real time. With evidence now in the hands of federal agencies, and whistleblowers coming forward, the next phase will blow this scandal wide open.

Stay tuned right here at The Gateway Pundit for further updates and exclusive document releases as we continue to break the biggest investigative story of the century.

Take a look at this map…

On the surface, it seems ordinary.

But what if I told you, it’s worth $150 trillion? (Yes, trillion, with a “T.”)

What makes this map so special?

As you’ll see, it points the way to a 15-figure fortune held by the Federal Government.

We were shown this map by former Presidential Advisor, Jim Rickards, one of the most politically connected men in America.  Rickards has spent his fifty-year career in the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking.

And he believes Trump could soon release this frozen asset to the public.

He says, “When it happens… it could alter the course of America, forever.”

Jim calls this stash of frozen assets our “national endowment.”

For good reason. If you divide this figure by the number of households in America, each family would receive $1.1 million.

But something even more spectacular is bound to happen. And those who know what to expect could make a potential
fortune.
