Shortly before Carlson went to air Thursday night, ProPublica reported that after the Senate Intelligence Committee that […]
There has been outrage across the political spectrum over a shocking report that Senate Intelligence chair Richard Burr (R-NC) dumped as much as $1.7 million in stock just before the market tanked, despite publicly maintaining that the government was on top of the coronavirus.

Bernie Sanders’ campaign has responded to recent reports about Russia attempting to aid the Vermont Senator in 2020 by suggesting the claim is part of a conspiracy against him concocted by Team Trump—specifically pointing the finger at President Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell.
