DOJ official weighed tapping Trump’s 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' before stepping back

Patrick Davis, the Justice Department’s top official for congressional affairs, reportedly planned to file a claim with Donald Trump’s controversial ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ and asked to recuse himself over a potential conflict; the move alarmed colleagues as the fund faced backlash and was ultimately described as dead by acting AG Todd Blanche. Davis’s background—longtime Grassley aide and prior records subpoenas related to the Russiagate probe—provided context for concerns about his involvement and recusal.

Debunking MAGA’s Russiagate Myths: Seven Truths About Mueller

Cathy Young debunks seven MAGA claims about Russiagate, arguing Mueller’s inquiry wasn’t a Democrats-only vendetta, the Steele dossier wasn’t the probe’s sole driver, Russia’s interference largely targeted Clinton, Mueller did not exonerate Trump, some Trump associates sought or welcomed Russian help, and while IG Horowitz and Durham reviews raised issues, they don’t erase the investigation’s findings or its significance; Trump’s rhetoric fueled the “witch hunt” narrative, but Mueller’s work remains a legitimate response to Russia’s 2016 meddling.

Gabbard's 2016 'Russiagate' Claims and Political Tensions

Tulsi Gabbard's memo claiming the intelligence community manipulated evidence in the 2016 Russiagate investigation is misleading and lacks substantive proof, instead relying on selective and distorted information to support conspiracy theories that align with Trump and Russian narratives, while ignoring established bipartisan findings of Russian interference and campaign contacts.

Durham Report Reveals Agenda-Driven Pursuit of Trump by Deep State and Media.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr stated that the Durham report shows that those involved in the Russiagate investigation were not trying to stop Russian meddling in U.S. politics, but to stop Donald Trump from becoming president. Barr claimed that the feds had an agenda and used different standards for Trump and Hillary Clinton. He also noted that most of the rank-and-file at the FBI were not party to the potentially politicized decision-making at the top.

Durham Report Exposes FBI's Russiagate Investigation as a Fraud.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who was one of the faces of CNN's Russiagate coverage, called the Durham Report "devastating" to the FBI and exonerating to former President Donald Trump. Tapper was one of the first journalists to report on the existence of the Steele dossier, which has since been widely discredited. The Durham Report confirmed that the Russia investigation was based on unsubstantiated and politicized origins, and Tapper's comments are significant as he was in some ways the face of CNN's Russiagate coverage.
