Pinching myself as I take in this praise for INJUSTICE -- my new 📕 book w/ @byaaroncdavis.
Comparison to Watergate reporting by @realBobWoodward and @carlbernstein is high compliment
Buy here: shorturl.at/J9sCl
I'll be forever grateful to @realBobWoodward for his generous advice and help when I set out to write my first book. I'm impressed by the candor and self-reflection here & grateful again that he lays bare his painful truth about a very good source. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

NEW: Trump’s mega Venezuelan oil deal, signed by Hegseth and Rubio, benefits an unknown group of investors and was intentionally crafted to keep the next U.S. president or future leaders of Venezuela from undoing it. @propublica saw the secret contract: propublica.org/article/trump…
DOJ Inspector General says he won't investigate misconduct by @TheJusticeDept officials who wrongly indicted former Olympian. They had evidence showing he was not guilty when they brought charges .

NEW w/ @CarolLeonnig - Lawyers for David Hearn tell MS NOW the DOJ’s watchdog is declining to investigate the events surrounding the former Olympian’s failed prosecution, but a probe by the Interior IG remains under review

EXCLUSIVE -- FBI records show bureau's criminal cases have actually fallen significantly since @FBIDirectorKash has taken over. It's the opposite of Patel's claim that he has stepped up crime fighting, @MSNOWNews found.

NEW: A private equity executive took a top Pentagon job last year. Then a consulting firm he’d kept ties to starting winning major defense contracts - including a no-bid, quarter-billion dollar deal to advise his office.

Re-upping our reporting from over the weekend: Current and former officials tell us the FBI hack stemmed from incompetent cyber security at the bureau. It’s being called one of the worst counterintelligence disasters in recent memory. With @CarolLeonnig

An internal FBI message obtained by MS NOW said that the data exposed included names, home addresses, cell phone numbers, FBI email addresses and employee ID numbers, in addition to personal identifying information for emergency contacts, including Social Security numbers and personal email addresses.
The hackers obtained that information for nearly every FBI employee and also for more than 8,000 state and local law enforcement officers who worked on FBI task forces, current and former officials said. The FBI official confirmed that task force officers were victims and said they were being notified.

NEW: Judge Todd Edelman has dismissed the reflecting pool vandalism case against former Olympian Davey Hearn with prejudice. This means the DOJ cannot revive these charges. They had been trying to dismiss the case without prejudice, so they could revive the case if new evidence came to light.

SCOOP O'clock: Sen. @Eric_Schmitt was warned texts from Jack Smith's office hadn't been vetted for accuracy.
He used them anyway - to accuse Smith of perjury.
Trump @TheJusticeDept gave Sen. Grassley these texts before Smith testified, but Grassley didn't share with Democrats.

SCOOP: Judiciary Committee staff warned Sen. Eric Schmitt's office that the Jack Smith texts were "unvetted," per source.
Schmitt used them anyway.

Jaw dropping. I have never seen a member of Congress so recklessly toss out claims of perjury as did Sen. Eric Schmitt -- claiming Jack Smith lied about not being in Atlanta -- when the senator's own research was demonstrably false.
