BREAKING: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has now begun an investigation into Senator Adam Schiff.ABOUT TIME!Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is sweating bullets today after immensely popular Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, now serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, went on conservative commentator Benny Johnson\u2019s podcast and suggested she has begun an investigation into him and his \u201cshifty\u201d actions while serving the public.<\/p>\n
The investigation will look into Schiff\u2019s potential involvement in leaking classified information related to Russia, a matter that Pirro told Johnson falls within her area of expertise.<\/p>\n
In the interview, Pirro said, \u201cBenny, I think you know that this is my wheelhouse. The difference between me and some others is that I don\u2019t talk about what I\u2019m investigating. When I have the evidence and enough to go forward, you will hear from me loud and clear.\u201d<\/p>\n
A statement like this indicates Pirro means business and is taking this matter very seriously, despite not revealing any specifics related to the current probe. And this isn\u2019t the only trouble Schiff could be facing on the legal front.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/p>\n
The senator is also being investigated for alleged mortgage fraud, a story reported by Fox News. A member of President Donald Trump\u2019s administration recently revealed that Schiff is under scrutiny for allegedly falsifying documents to secure a better loan, a crime for which Trump himself was charged by New York Attorney General Letitia James.<\/p>\n
Ironically, she, too, is under investigation for that very same crime.<\/p>\n
The Federal Housing Finance Agency expressed a variety of concerns about the practice, pointing out that it could undermine the mortgage system\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n
Making Schiff\u2019s life even more complicated, a Democrat whistleblower has come out of the shadows and alleged the California senator approved the leaking of classified information to damage President Trump during his first term at the height of the Russiagate scandal.<\/p>\n
The whistleblower, who is a career intelligence officer, issued a warning to the FBI on several occasions in 2017 concerning Schiff\u2019s actions. The Justice Department, however, neglected to look into the matter.<\/p>\n
Now that the bureau is being led by Director Kash Patel, the situation is being looked into and has already started fresh debates concerning Schiff\u2019s time spent on the House Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n
President Trump has been critical of Schiff for a long time, but has recently suggested that it\u2019s time for him to start being held accountable for his actions and face the consequences of what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n
Missouri Democratic Rep. Bill Clay Sr., the first black congressman from the state, died on Thursday after serving 32 years in the U.S. House. He was 94.<\/p>\n
Clay, a civil and workers\u2019 rights advocate, represented the state\u2019s 1st district from 1969 to 2001, and he was a driving influence in St. Louis\u2019 recovery after \u201cwhite flight\u201d following the Civil Rights Act. He bartered with construction trades and corporate C-suites to see his hometown transformed into the skyline that now surrounds its iconic arch.<\/p>\n
Prominent Democrats\u2019 endorsements had a significant impact on the election prospects of fellow party members, and he was known for demanding unwavering loyalty from those who gained his approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Black community, almost overwhelmingly, looked at him as a fighter for them,\u201d said his son, former Congressman Lacy Clay (D-MO).<\/p>\n
In the years after the enactment of the 1965 Civil Rights Act, black St. Louisans moved quickly to capture power in a city that had long separated its communities via historically discriminatory redlining policies. Clay, Sr. was ahead of his time, gaining his first election to the St. Louis Board of Aldermen in 1959 at the age of only 28.<\/p>\n
He became a staple during sit-ins as members of St. Louis\u2019 black community protested the segregation enforced by businesses such as White Castle and Howard Johnson, which divided black and white customers into separate seats and hotel rooms.<\/p>\n
\u201cSt. Louis was no different from any of the cities in the South,\u201d Clay said in a 1998 profile. \u201cWe had rigid segregation \u2014 not by law, but by custom.\u201d<\/p>\n
St. Louis Democrats who came of age under Clay\u2019s shadow paid tribute to him on Friday.<\/p>\n
St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer told SLNPR that Clay\u2019s \u201ccourageous legacy of public service to St. Louis and the country is etched in his historic legislative battles for the poor, underrepresented and disenfranchised.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMillions have him to thank for the Family and Medical Leave Act and raising the minimum wage,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cGenerations of Black congressional leaders have followed in his footsteps as members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which he co-founded in 1971. We thank him for his generous service to a city he cared deeply for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Congressman Wesley Bell (D-MO) called Clay a \u201dgiant \u2014 not just for St. Louis, not just for Missouri, but for the entirety of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI counted Mr. Clay as a grand mentor, as a trailblazer, and as a dear friend,\u201d Bell said in a statement. \u201cBut more than that, I carry his example with me every time I walk onto the House Floor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Congressional Black Caucus, which counts a record-breaking 62 members in the 119th Congress, said in a statement, \u201cCongressman Bill Clay leaves behind a legacy of dignity, courage, and transformative impact. His work laid the foundation for future generations of Black leadership in public service. May he rest in power and everlasting.\u201d<\/p>\n
St. Louis Democratic Mayor Cara Spencer wrote, \u201cOn behalf of the City of St. Louis, I want to offer my condolences to the family of one of St. Louis\u2019 proud native sons, Congressman Bill Clay Sr. My sincerest sympathy is extended to his son, Lacy Clay, who has been a champion for the City of St. Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael P. McMillan, president & CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, wronte, \u201cThe Urban League expresses our deepest condolences to the Clay Family upon the passing of former Congressman William L. Clay, Sr. He was a giant in the Congress and a civil rights pioneer who helped transform St. Louis and change the lives of countless people locally and nationally. He had a profound impact on me personally as we worked together on many projects. His legacy remains and should always be remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
