Crooks and Liars is reporting that sources in Florida politics indicate a grand jury in front of Judge Aileen Cannon, with Joe diGenova as special counsel, is preparing indictments against James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper and former President Barack Obama.
The outlet also said the California Governor Primary remains too close to call, with many ballots still uncounted. It identified Republican Steve Hilton and Democrats Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer as the top three candidates.
Crooks and Liars is reporting on several actions by the Trump administration. It said recent counterterror appointments are "shockingly unqualified and unfit," potentially increasing the risk of a terrorist attack. The House of Representatives, it noted, passed a war powers resolution to end the "Iran War," despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts, with four Republican votes. Crooks and Liars also reported that Donald Trump appointed an individual involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to a highly classified Pentagon position, describing the work as "among the most delicate." It further stated that Bill Pulte, described as lacking intelligence experience, was installed to head the Director of National Intelligence, raising questions about his qualifications. The outlet also highlighted that Trump is blaming unspecified entities for rising grocery and gas prices, and that an amendment granting him and his family a "lifetime tax-fraud pass" remains active. Crooks and Liars noted that a Trump endorsement "ain't what it used to be," citing Rep. Randy Feenstra's loss in the Iowa Governor Primary.
Regarding other political figures, Crooks and Liars is reporting that George Santos continues to face legal troubles. It also said Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made a "racist attack on Black babies" by using a trope about abortion. The outlet reported that Marco Rubio's "boldest lie of the day" was immediately fact-checked with video evidence.
