So, now that we've rush-released all of those documents regarding the deceased financier and sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, at the insistence of Congress -- particularly the Democrats, who want anything they can tar and feather President Donald Trump with -- what have we discovered?

President Donald Trump is escalating his fight with Harvard University, demanding $1 billion in damages over what he calls the Ivy League school’s “strongly antisemitic” behavior. Trump said late Monday night that “Harvard has been, for a long time, behaving very badly” and suggested that the case against Harvard “should be Criminal, not Civil.” His comments came as The New York Times published a report claiming that the Trump administration was dropping its previous demand for Harvard to pay $500 million to settle allegations that the university mishandled antisemitism on its campus. The president refuted the New York Times report and accused Harvard of “feeding a lot of ‘nonsense'” to the “failing” newspaper. “Harvard has been, for a long time, behaving very badly! They wanted to do a convoluted job training concept, but it was turned down in that it was wholly inadequate and would not have been, in our opinion, successful. It was merely a way of Harvard getting out of a large cash settlement of more than 500 Million Dollars, a number that should be much higher for the serious and heinous illegalities that they have committed,” Trump said. In a follow-up post, Trump wrote, “The Failing New York Times story was completely wrong concerning Harvard University. I hereby demand that the morons that run (into the ground!) the Times’ change their story, immediately.” Trump has fought with Harvard over multiple issues since the beginning of his second term. In April, the Trump administration froze $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard over the Ivy League school’s diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and allegations of an antisemitic culture. A federal judge blocked Trump’s funding freeze, and most of the funds were restored after Harvard sued. The Trump administration also pushed to bar foreign students from attending Harvard, a move that was also blocked by a federal judge. As the months-long fight continued last year, the Trump administration was also negotiating with Harvard leaders on a settlement. Last June, Trump praised Harvard for acting “extremely appropriately” during the negotiations and suggested that a “mindbogglingly historic” deal could be made “over the next week or so,” but nothing came of those talks. Much of the criticism of Harvard began after the university was accused of allowing antisemitism to fester on its campus following Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Harvard’s previous president, Claudine Gay, resigned shortly after she was grilled by Congress in late 2023 over the anti-Israel protests that popped up on college campuses, including Harvard’s. On Monday night, Trump lambasted new Harvard President Alan Garber over the negotiations and raised his demand from $500 million to $1 billion. “Dr. Alan Garber, the President of Harvard, has done a terrible job of rectifying a very bad situation for his institution and, more importantly, America, itself. He was hired AFTER the antisemitism charges were brought – I wonder why??? We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University,” Trump said. The president added that his administration “turned down” an offer from Harvard to put $500 million toward a workforce training program to address some of the federal government’s complaints. “They wanted to do a convoluted job training concept, but it was turned down in that it was wholly inadequate and would not have been, in our opinion, successful,” Trump said. “It was merely a way of Harvard getting out of a large cash settlement of more than 500 Million Dollars, a number that should be much higher for the serious and heinous illegalities that they have committed.” Harvard leaders reportedly want to avoid paying the federal government directly, out of concern that it would harm the university’s independence. The New York Times reported, however, that Harvard’s reliance on federal funding could likely force it to cut a deal with Trump.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump specifically instructed Tulsi Gabbard to be present during the execution of a search warrant at an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, a letter obtained by The Daily Wire shows. The Director of National Intelligence explained why she was present during the January 28 raid in a Monday evening letter to Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Rep. James Himes (D-CT). Warner is the vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, while Himes is the ranking member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “For a brief period of time, I accompanied FBI Deputy Director Bailey and Atlanta Acting Special Agent in Charge Pete Ellis in observing FBI personnel executing that search warrant,” Gabbard explains. “My presence,” she wrote, “was requested by the President and executed under my broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence related to election security, including counterintelligence (CI), foreign and other malign influence and cybersecurity.” Gabbard notes that the FBI’s Intelligence and Counterintelligence divisions are among the 18 elements she oversees, and that 12 of the FBI’s field offices across the United States have senior FBI officials who are also her domestic DNI representatives. “I have visited several of my Domestic DNI-Reps at FBI Field Offices across the country,” Gabbard said. “While visiting the FBI Field Office in Atlanta, I thanked the FBI agents for their professionalism and great work, and facilitated a brief phone call for the President to thank the agents personally for their work. He did not ask any questions, nor did he or I issue any directives.” Security envelopes for absentee ballots sit in stacked boxes as Fulton County workers continue to count absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on November 6, 2020, in Atlanta, Georgia.

She first addresses ballot integrity, saying: “Election security is a national security issue,” and arguing that “interference in U.S. elections is a threat to our republic and a national security threat.” “The President and his Administration are committed to safeguarding the integrity of U.S. elections to ensure that neither foreign nor domestic powers undermine the American people’s right to determine who our elected leaders are,” she wrote. “Towards that effort, the President tasked ODNI with taking all appropriate actions under my statutory authorities towards ensuring the integrity of our elections and specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant.” ODNI has been reviewing intelligence on election integrity ever since she took office, Gabbard said. National Counterintelligence and Security Center’s (NCSC) personnel traveled with her to Fulton County, though they were not present during the warrant’s execution. Her letter stresses that she has “broad authority” to “coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence” related to election security. “To preserve the integrity of our elections, we must understand whether there has been foreign or other malign interference in our elections, and whether vulnerabilities exist in our election infrastructure that could be exploited in future elections,” she wrote. “To enable this, it is critical that the Intelligence Community (IC) work with interagency partners like the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and other IC elements to ensure coordination of efforts and intelligence sharing and integration.” Gabbard stresses that both information and intelligence reporting indicate that the United States’ electronic voting systems have “long been vulnerable to exploitation that could result in enabling determined actors to manipulate” election results. “ODNI and the IC continue to collect and assess all available intelligence concerning this threat to ensure the security and integrity of our elections,” she writes. “Searching through intelligence holdings and conducting assessments with analytic rigor and excellence is an arduous and often time-consuming process. However, that process ensures that the IC’s finished intelligence products are objective, independent of political considerations, and based on all available sources.” Gabbard promises to share her intelligence assessments with Congress once they are complete. But, she adds, the president is not required to obtain approval from the congressional intelligence committees before he initiates a “significant intelligence activity.” “Moreover, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued the search warrant on The Office of the Clerk of The Court of Fulton County under seal,” Gabbard said. “As such, I have not seen the warrant or the evidence of probable cause that the DOJ submitted to Court for approval. Therefore, the ODNI had no ability, authority or responsibility to inform the Committees about the search warrant ahead of its execution.”
