The government does not know if an alleged hacking conspiracy between Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Army intelligence officer Chelsea Manning succeeded, according to a newly released December 2017 affidavit from an FBI agent on the case.

President Trump told his accountant to ignore a subpoena from House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in a Monday letter, arguing the request is not “valid or enforceable.”

As the Treasury Department continues to stall on a request for Trump’s tax returns from the House Ways and Means Committee, House Democrats on Monday laid out their likely path forward for gaining access to the documents.

Yujing Zhang, the woman who allegedly tried to enter Mar-a-Lago carrying malware last month, knew the event she claimed to be attending had been cancelled, south Florida federal prosecutors said Friday in a newly filed indictment.

Mar-a-Lago has recently been revealed as a hub for influence peddlers and potential spies, leading to accusations from top Democrats and pundits that Trump’s winter White House doubles as a sieve for classified information.

International political consultant W. Sam Patten was sentenced to 36 months probation, 500 hours of community service, and a $5,000 fine on Friday for failing to register as a foreign agent, after spending months cooperating with federal prosecutors.

In 2012, two years after Gregory Craig stepped down from his job as White House counsel to Barack Obama, he had found work with a new president in a new country: Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine.

But the job was markedly different. Craig was working in a fetid political system with political operative Paul Manafort to whitewash the prosecution of Yanukovych’s main political opponent, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. He was indicted on charges relating to that work today.

I covered this story when I was working in Ukraine, after Craig’s role slowly emerged from documents found in the sauna of an official overthrown in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and from information revealed during the prosecution of Paul Manafort.

D.C. federal prosecutors on Thursday indicted lawyer Greg Craig on two charges of making false statements to the Justice Department about his work for Ukraine and Paul Manafort, in a spin-off from a case that began during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

In the hours since a wild-haired Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, his allies have sought to cast the WikiLeaks founder as a falsely-accused free press champion.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange allegedly worked with U.S. military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to try to access a government computer network after Manning transferred thousands of internal files to the self-proclaimed transparency organization, federal prosecutors alleged in an indictment unsealed Thursday.
