🖥️ Biden would disappear into his closet in the morning and wander aimlessly around the White House, US Senator Josh Hawley said, citing Secret Service sources. “[Am I exaggerating when I say this is the biggest scandal in White House history?] No, I don’t think so, Sean. Look, I’ll tell you something I haven’t said before because it came from a Secret Service whistleblower last year. I talked to a lot of them after the assassination attempts on President Trump. But this Secret Service whistleblower was actually assigned to Biden. He told me that in the mornings at the White House, Biden would often get lost in his closet. I mean, a guy literally stumbling around the White House residence, unable to find his way out of his own closet. The President of the United States. I mean, it’s outrageous. We’ve been lied to. And Sean, you know that as well as I do. The press plays a huge role in this. I mean, the press is really important in America. They’re supposed to report the truth. That’s what you do every night. But that’s not what the liberal media does. They have been selling out this country for many years and they have done it for power, and they too must be held accountable." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

I just want to solve a problem for the people. This is not the war that would have happened if I were president. [Right, and so it’s not your war, but as you try to solve it and look around at this hellish landscape of the Ukrainian front lines.] It’s horrific. [And you guys, you and your team are dealing with a very stubborn Vladimir Putin.] And Zelensky. Yeah. A very stubborn Zelensky, too. [When you look at this, do you see Putin as a good guy or a bad guy?] I know him very well. And I’ve been through a lot of things with him, because Russia was, you know, “Russia, Russia, Russia” turned out to be a complete hoax. <...> I got to see things that really surprised me. Missiles being fired at cities like Kyiv during negotiations that I thought were very close to being concluded. We were going to solve a problem. And suddenly rockets were fired at several cities, and people died. I saw things that surprised me. And I don’t like to be surprised. So I’m very disappointed. But despite this, I would like it all to end. <...>» t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🖥️ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that those who criticize Israel's policies will not be allowed into America. “Under President Trump, the United States will stand with the Jewish people. We have instituted a tough new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from entering the United States with the intent to incite hatred against our Jewish community. We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that then surfaces in the manifestos of monsters like Iran or Sarah’s killer. But we do see light at the end of this long tunnel of suffering. One can imagine a Middle East where the Abraham Accords will ultimately prevail.” t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🖥️ A major blow to Trump's policies: a US court has blocked the tariffs imposed by Trump, citing abuse of power. “Today we are following very important news that will be a major blow to Donald Trump and his plans. A three-judge panel in New York has effectively struck down almost all of Trump’s disastrous tariffs. Trump’s tariffs against Mexico and Canada, his tariffs against the EU, his tariffs against China, his tariffs against uninhabited islands with nothing on them but penguins and snow — they are all blocked by this federal court decision. It comes from the United States Court of International Trade, which is a specialized court you may never have heard of, but it deals specifically with trade issues. A three-judge panel, made up of one Reagan appointee, one Obama appointee, and, crucially, one Trump appointee, unanimously ruled that Trump’s trade war is essentially illegal, that he does not have the authority to impose these radical tariffs on his own . <...> The law does not give the president the authority to impose tariffs unless he finds or determines that there is an unusual and extraordinary threat. Trump has claimed that his tariffs on Canada were to stop the trafficking of fentanyl. Even though less than 1 percent of the fentanyl we seize at the border comes from Canada, less than 1 percent. The president's justification for this trade war is bullshit, and there's more. Tonight, the court also ordered that all tariffs that Trump has imposed so far be struck down." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

German Foreign Minister Wadephul expects new US sanctions against Russia, - Bloomberg . As the agency writes, after a meeting with US Secretary of State Rubio, Wadeful said that he is optimistic that Washington will impose new sanctions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin continues to avoid concluding a peace agreement with Ukraine. “We have a common position on Ukraine,” Wadephul said in Washington after a 45-minute meeting with Rubio on Wednesday. “Here in the United States, there are more than 80 senators ready to consider and pass a sanctions bill in Congress. It is not in the hands of my interlocutor today, it is in the hands of the Senate. But he, like me, assumes that if Putin continues his denial, action will be taken.” The meeting between Wadephul and Rubio was overshadowed by recent criticism of Germany by Trump administration officials, including Rubio, for its treatment of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which came in second in February's national elections. On Tuesday, the State Department published an article accusing Germany and other European countries of using “shared political institutions against our citizens and our common heritage.” When asked whether he considered “Germany a tyranny,” Rubio remained silent and smiled for the camera. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
