Former Florida Rep. Anthony Sabatini " a Republican who previously made national headlines for wearing blackface in high school " said Monday he has filed a lawsuit against the University of Florida (UF) on behalf of the school's College Republicans chapter over its disbandment. On March 14, UF announced that it deactivated the chapter after the Florida Federation of College Republicans (FFCR) reported finding that some of its members had "engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture." The news came after a screenshot of a photo was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) showing two people performing what appears to be a Nazi salute in a chatroom on Guilded, a group chat platform for gamers that was shut down in December 2025. The post from Sloan Rachmuth, who describes herself as an investigative journalist, claimed the photo showed one of the group's members.
President Donald Trump's administration is reportedly seeking to free a former FBI informant who admitted he lied to federal agents during the 2020 presidential election, an insider has claimed. Alexander Smirnov was arrested by the FBI in February 2024 and charged with lying to the agency. He faces a up to 25 years in prison, but the president and his team could be working on releasing Smirnov. An unnamed source speaking to Mother Jones claimed the administration is in the process of aiding the ex-FBI informant with avoiding his sentence and even trial. Smirnov is believed to have lied to the FBI about both Hunter and Joe Biden in 2020. Around the same time, prosecutors claim the ex-FBI informant was paid $600,000 by Economic Transformation Technologies. Two of ETT's owners, Shahal M. Khan and Farooq Arjomand, are associates of Donald Trump. Read more
