In a fiery interview, President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of being the “mastermind” behind the infamous Russiagate conspiracy—a plot Trump says was fabricated to destroy his presidency. Citing newly declassified documents from Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, Trump claimed Hillary Clinton and top Obama-era officials coordinated a disinformation campaign to link him to Russia.
He alleged that Obama not only approved the plan but “pushed it,” fueling what he called the “biggest scandal in American history.” Trump criticized Clinton but noted he chose not to prosecute her after winning in 2016—an act he now regrets. The documents, released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Chuck Grassley, reportedly expose links between Clinton operatives and George Soros-funded groups, alongside FBI involvement. Trump insisted he wouldn’t interfere with legal proceedings, leaving the decision on indictments to AG Pam Bondi. The revelations mark a potential political earthquake in the run-up to 2025.

Country singer Alexis Wilkins has broken her silence after becoming the center of an online firestorm accusing her of being a Mossad agent "honeypotting" FBI director Kash Patel. Speaking on the Megyn Kelly Show, the 26-year-old strongly denied the bizarre conspiracy theory, calling it “incredibly disheartening.” The rumors intensified after a Justice Department memo on Jeffrey Epstein debunked claims of a hidden client list. Conspiracy theorists shifted their focus to Wilkins, citing her ties to conservative nonprofit PragerU, whose CEO once served in the Israeli army.
However, Wilkins, who is Armenian and Christian, rejected the narrative, saying critics are tying “pieces of evidence” together “in all the wrong ways.” She emphasized her genuine relationship with Patel, whom she met in Nashville in 2022. “He’s honest, patriotic, and has incredible integrity,” she said. Despite their 19-year age gap, Wilkins insists the connection is real—and not a covert operation.

The White House is urging major media outlets to cover the findings, calling it a historic abuse of power. The revelations reignite debates over political interference and intelligence agency overreach.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke against expansionism. He indirectly referred to China's actions in the Indo-Pacific. This statement occurred during a press.. IndiaTimes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to the Maldives isn’t just a diplomatic gesture — it’s a strategic message to the Indo-Pacific. As Maldives marks its 60th Independence Day, Modi becomes the first foreign leader to visit since President Mohamed Muizzu took office — a leader who once led the ‘India Out’ campaign. But today, the narrative has shifted.

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region.
While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific.
