The Atlantic published a story that basically accused him of being a drunk and neglecting his duties. Sorry, media, if this were true, it would have surfaced long ago. It would have been mentioned during his confirmation hearing, so no, we’re not convinced. Also, who are the sources? Patel’s legal team is filing a lawsuit over this story, so it’s only fitting that the media tries to find some smoking gun to support this nonsense.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/25/the-media-thinks-they-found-damning-evidence-against-for-kash-patel-they-dont-n2675041<![CDATA[It’s the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend. It’s nerd prom. It’s a gathering of some of our most entrenched media enemies. It’s honestly a gathering of traitors. They hate us, and we hate them. In truth, it’s a huge event with the political elite, their allies, and every swamp creature in the DMV area. I’d rather set myself on fire like the Buddhist monk in Saigon. Still, it’s an institution that needs attention, and President Trump will be attending with some of his top aides.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:55:32 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/25/scott-jennings-couldnt-believe-this-dem-operative-dropped-this-attack-line-against-trump-on-cnn-n2675052<![CDATA[It flew under the radar, but in March Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued a criminal referral against Cassidy Hutchinson. Before Pam Bondi was fired as attorney general, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division was reportedly investigating her. Now, under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, he’s authorized to keep her in the DOJ’s crosshairs.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/25/january-6-star-witness-cassidy-hutchinson-is-in-the-dojs-crosshairs-n2675040<![CDATA[Former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), who resigned from Congress before she was officially expelled, is doing something so shameless, so typical of D.C., and, I hate to admit it, something quite funny: she’s running for re-election to her old seat. It creates another headache for Democrats, as Sheila was engulfed in a scandal, where she reportedly stole millions in relief aid from FEMA. It was a lengthy investigation by the House Ethics Committee, and it became clear she was done when the most vocal left-wingers on the Hill were calling for her removal (via NOTUS):]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:45:07 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/24/no-way-sheila-cherfilus-mccormick-who-resigned-before-getting-expelled-is-running-for-re-election-n2675045<![CDATA[In Federal court on April 20, 2026, in Brooklyn, Animashaun Adebo, also known as “Kazeem” and “Kazeem Animashaun,” pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy for his role in a series of fraudulent business email compromise (BEC) and related romance schemes that resulted in more than $50 million in losses by individuals and small businesses located within the Eastern District of New York and throughout the United States.]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:00:24 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/nigerian-led-bec-ring-defrauded-victims-of-more-than-50-million-feds-say-n2675028<![CDATA[An owner of a small grocery store in Tacoma, Washington, has been accused of defrauding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 20:00:29 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/tacoma-grocery-owner-allegedly-bilked-600k-from-snap-in-less-than-a-year-n2675025<![CDATA[The U.S. Small Business Administration has referred 562,000 suspected fraudulent loans to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for collection, marking the SBA’s largest referral package on record.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 19:30:13 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/trump-administration-launches-22-billion-clawback-of-covid-loan-fraud-for-562000-borrowers-n2675044<![CDATA[Texas police can arrest suspected illegal aliens after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a temporary injunction against the law on Friday.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 19:03:09 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/5th-circuit-clears-way-for-texas-to-arrest-suspected-illegal-immigrants-n2675046<![CDATA[The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned China-based independent teapot refinery Hengli Petrochemical Refinery Co., Ltd.]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:30:35 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/treasury-sanctions-chinese-refinery-and-40-ships-in-sweeping-iran-oil-crackdown-n2675043<![CDATA[An indictment was unsealed today in the Western District of Texas charging Jafar Tafakori, 57, an Iranian national, for his role in coordinating the smuggling of illegal aliens into the United States.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:00:01 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scott-mcclallen/2026/04/24/doj-unseals-indictment-against-iranian-smuggler-who-charged-up-to-30000-per-alien-n2675031<![CDATA[Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, explained why he believes it is highly likely the state Supreme Court will strike down Virginia’s latest congressional map, which passed narrowly earlier this week and would shift the delegation in a once evenly split state to 10 Democratic representatives and one Republican.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Dmitri Bolt]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/04/24/former-va-ag-lays-out-why-the-state-supreme-court-will-strike-down-the-new-congressional-map-n2674995<![CDATA[Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is making himself known to Trump officials, but not for the right reasons. The outgoing North Carolina Republican, who chose not to run for re-election, is reportedly a major obstacle to President Trump’s pick to chair the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, who had his confirmation hearing this week. He will be replacing the outgoing Jerome Powell, who also has strained relations with Trump.&nbsp;]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:30:37 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/24/this-latest-move-hopefully-resolves-issues-with-a-key-holdout-to-trumps-fed-chair-pick-n2675020<![CDATA[White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is about to take maternity leave, so who will do the press briefings? It will be a carousel of Trump officials, Vice President JD Vance, and maybe, even, the president of the United States himself. If that’s the case, expect Trump to hold court in there for a long time, which could make for exceptional television (via Politico):]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:00:40 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/24/why-the-white-house-press-briefings-could-get-nuts-when-karoline-leavitt-takes-maternity-leave-n2675016<![CDATA[The Trump administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday announced that it will be bringing back death by firing squad in death penalty cases.]]>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Dmitri Bolt]]>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitri-bolt/2026/04/24/department-of-justice-announces-its-bringing-back-death-by-firing-squad-n2675024<![CDATA[Democrat Patty Murray made one of the most outrageous claims we've ever heard about her party and ICE.
