This morning, Donald Trump didn’t just make headlines — he detonated one.
In a fiery Fox News interview, the President accused Barack Obama of using the FBI to spy on his 2016 campaign — a claim the establishment media rushed to dismiss. But now, newly released Senate files suggest those surveillance programs didn’t end when Biden took office.
In this five-minute intel drop, we cut through the spin:
what the documents actually say, how the media’s framing it, and why the “protect democracy” slogan might be collapsing under its own hypocrisy.
In today’s briefing:
🔍 FBI file bombshell — Senate Judiciary confirms surveillance on GOP lawmakers.
🕵️ Narrative control — media calls it “conspiracy,” ignoring their own paper trail.
⚖️ The real meaning — why this could redefine “threats to democracy.”
