BUSTED: Reporters Caught Spying on Karoline Leavitt’s Closed-Door Call With… 
The Trump administration has drawn a clear line between responsible journalism and political espionage. On Friday, President Donald Trump’s White House officially barred reporters from accessing a key section of the West Wing—known as the
Upper Press—without prior approval.
The move follows mounting evidence that members of the mainstream media had been eavesdropping on private cabinet discussions and secretly recording sensitive material.
For years, the so-called “press freedom” crowd has used their credentials as a license to invade privacy, twist quotes, and undermine the President’s agenda. But under Trump’s leadership, that era of unchecked access and deep-state leaks appears to be ending.
The new order, issued by the National Security Council and enforced by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, states that no reporter may enter the Upper Press without an appointment. The memo cited “the protection of sensitive material from unauthorized disclosure,” an objective most Americans would find not only reasonable but essential.
Cheung, known for his no-nonsense defense of the administration, revealed that this decision wasn’t made lightly. “Cabinet secretaries were being ambushed and secretly recorded by reporters lurking outside private offices,” he said. “It’s an unacceptable breach of trust.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, one of the most dynamic figures in the administration, has become a target for left-leaning journalists desperate to manufacture controversy. Sources confirm that several mainstream reporters were caught “hovering” near her office door—listening in during confidential cabinet meetings.
Cheung posted on X, formerly Twitter, that some of these reporters had even taken unauthorized photos of classified briefing materials. “We’ve had to chase reporters down who started strolling into restricted areas towards the Oval. Total absence of boundaries,” he wrote.
This isn’t a crackdown on the free press—it’s a defense against a press that’s gone rogue. For too long, major outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times have blurred the line between journalism and sabotage. Trump’s team is drawing that line again.
The new restrictions apply only to the Upper Press, the area adjacent to the Oval Office and Press Secretary Leavitt’s workspace. Journalists will still have full access to the Lower Press section near the briefing room. That means legitimate reporting isn’t being silenced—it’s being held to professional standards.
The decision follows other necessary reforms implemented by the Trump administration to restore order and discipline in government communication. Earlier this month, several outlets—including AFP—refused to comply with updated Pentagon press guidelines designed to protect classified material.
Rather than adapt, these same outlets are now crying “censorship.” But the reality is simpler: President Trump is putting national security above media theatrics.
For years, legacy media have operated like a political class of their own—waltzing through restricted areas, pestering staff, and mining private conversations for clickbait. When Trump first took office in 2017, he promised to expose the rot in Washington. Now, with his return to the White House, he’s making good on that promise once again.
Insiders say that the National Security Council’s new structure, which Trump placed under the leadership of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has increased the sensitivity of information handled in the West Wing. The need for tighter access is both logical and overdue.
The incident that triggered this move reportedly occurred after reporters were caught eavesdropping during a closed-door meeting with Leavitt and a visiting cabinet member. Witnesses claim the individuals were literally pressing their ears to the door—an act that would be unthinkable under any prior administration.
“This isn’t journalism; it’s espionage,” one senior official remarked privately. “If any conservative reporter had pulled something like that during the Obama years, they’d have been escorted out in handcuffs.”
The media’s meltdown over the new rule only exposes their arrogance. For decades, they’ve acted as though the White House was their playground. But under Trump, the people’s house is once again being protected for the people—not the pundits.
Leavitt herself has taken the attacks in stride. A rising star within Trump’s circle, she has faced relentless harassment from leftist journalists since stepping into the role. Despite that, she continues to deliver sharp, confident briefings that highlight the administration’s achievements—from freeing American hostages to restoring order on the southern border.
Many conservatives have applauded the move, saying it’s about time the White House stopped rewarding bad behavior. “If you can’t respect basic security rules, you don’t belong anywhere near the President’s staff,” one commentator said on Truth Social.
Meanwhile, liberal reporters are crying foul, framing their restriction as an “attack on democracy.” But Americans aren’t buying it. Polls show record-low trust in mainstream media, with many citizens agreeing that the press has become little more than a propaganda arm for the left.
Trump supporters see this as another victory in the fight to drain the swamp—not just in government, but in journalism. As one viral post put it: “They spied, they lied, and now they’ve been denied.”
BREAKING: Anna Paulina Luna Claims The Biden DOJ DESTROYED…
Representative Anna Paulina Luna has leveled explosive information against the Biden Department of Justice, claiming that critical materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have been deliberately destroyed.
This assertion, if proven true, would represent one of the most damning instances of governmental obstruction and cover-up in recent history.
Luna, who chairs a congressional task force focused on federal transparency, has stated unequivocally that she possesses evidence implicating high-ranking officials in the DOJ.
According to her, these officials not only failed to disclose materials related to Epstein but actively destroyed them to conceal the extent of powerful individuals’ involvement in Epstein’s criminal network.
She introduced legislation titled the SHRED Act, aimed at imposing severe penalties on government agents who destroy or conceal federal records. The proposed bill calls for 20 years to life in prison for anyone caught eliminating evidence in cases of national significance.
“Even if they are conducting a criminal investigation, you should probably pick up the phone and call us,” Luna told Fox News. “We have been more than patient.”
These developments come amid growing conservative suspicion that the Biden administration has no interest in unmasking Epstein’s full network. The notion that key records could be gone forever only intensifies fears that justice is being buried under a bureaucratic rug.
Luna’s office has reportedly sent multiple requests to the Department of Justice demanding clarity on the handling of Epstein-related materials. So far, those inquiries have been met with either vague responses or complete silence.
The congresswoman did not mince words in her public statements, suggesting that the DOJ’s behavior constitutes a deliberate act of obstruction. If true, such actions could violate federal law and trigger an entirely new legal battle.
“The Biden DOJ has obstructed Congress, ignored subpoenas, and now appears to have destroyed critical evidence,” Luna said. “This is corruption at the highest level.”
Critics argue that this is yet another example of double standards in Washington. “Had this been a Republican-led DOJ accused of destroying documents in a child sex trafficking case, the media would be apoplectic,” one conservative commentator noted.
For years, the Epstein case has symbolized the deep rot within America’s elite circles. The financier’s suspicious death in prison and the subsequent lack of high-profile indictments have fueled accusations of a widespread cover-up.
Now, Luna’s allegations breathe new life into those concerns. If records were indeed destroyed, the implications are profound. It would mean that the DOJ, under Biden, actively shielded criminals from justice.
What’s more troubling is that these destroyed materials could have named prominent individuals—politicians, celebrities, and global financiers—who participated in or enabled Epstein’s crimes.
In this context, Luna’s SHRED Act isn’t just legislative symbolism. It is a clarion call for accountability in an era marked by elite impunity. Her bill seeks to ensure that future officials think twice before erasing truth from the historical record.
Despite Luna’s repeated calls for transparency, there has been no formal response from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The silence speaks volumes to many who believe the DOJ is stonewalling on purpose.
Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers have rallied behind Luna. A growing number of Republicans in the House and Senate are voicing support for investigations into the DOJ’s handling of Epstein evidence.
Some have even floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to probe the matter independently. Given the stakes, such a move may be the only path forward to restore public confidence.
This latest scandal further erodes the credibility of an already battered Department of Justice. From the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco to the political targeting of conservatives, the agency has been repeatedly accused of partisanship.
Now, with Epstein documents allegedly destroyed, the DOJ’s credibility is in tatters. Public trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
The American people deserve the truth. And if Luna’s allegations are accurate, they deserve justice, no matter how high the guilty parties sit.
Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race psss 
Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race Mamdani will be the youngest New York mayor in a century, NBC News projects, after a rapid rise past Andrew Cuomo and other opponents.
Democrat Zohran Mamdani has won New York’s mayoral race, NBC News projects, after the 34-year-old democratic socialist energized progressives in the city and across the country while generating intense backlash from President Donald Trump and Republicans, as well as some Democratic moderates.
In his victory speech after vanquishing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani claimed a broad mandate and set himself up in direct opposition to Trump, who made a late endorsement against him. “In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light,” Mamdani said.
“Together, we will usher in a generation of change, and if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves,” Mamdani said later, before challenging Trump directly.
“This is not only how we stop Trump, it\’s how we stop the next one,” Mamdani said. “So Donald Trump, since I know you\’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.”

Trump wasn\’t the only subject of Mamdani\’s speech, which he started by quoting the 19th- and 20th-century American socialist Eugene Debs and continued by promising the “most ambitious agenda” to address costs in New York City since the administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia nearly 100 years ago.
Mamdani defeated Cuomo, who ran as a third-party candidate after losing the Democratic primary in June, by about 9 points, with Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa trailing far behind. Mayor Eric Adams, who also mounted a third-party campaign for re-election after he won as a Democrat in 2021, dropped out of the race in September and endorsed Cuomo last month.

The victory caps a meteoric rise through New York politics for Mamdani since he launched his campaign roughly one year ago, transforming him from a virtually unknown state assemblyman who barely registered in polling to the incoming leader of America’s largest city.
Along the way, he pushed aside the heir to one of New York’s most iconic political dynasties not once but twice within five months.Now a nationally known political figure, Mamdani will attempt to enact the sweeping policy platform that inspired his supporters while managing an enormous municipal bureaucracy — and influencing national politics, as one of the most prominent democratic socialists and Democrats in the country. Among other goals, Mamdani wants to freeze rent on rent-stabilized units, enact universal child care, create a free bus program and launch city-run grocery stores.
“It is tempting to believe that this moment was always destined,” Mamdani said before thousands at a rally in Queens late last month, before he noted that when he started his campaign, “there was not a single television camera there to cover it.”
“Four months later and as recently as this February, our support had reached eye-watering heights of 1%,” Mamdani continued. “We were tied with noted candidate ‘someone else.’”
Mamdani’s victory is sure to reverberate not just throughout New York City but around the nation.
In New York, Mamdani’s next challenge will be the tall task of uniting leaders in Albany and on the City Council — many of whom were not eager to line up behind him — to advance his ambitious agenda.
Nationally, many Democrats will examine his rise from obscurity, his successful messaging on social media and his focus on affordability for clues about how to navigate their own races.

Meanwhile, Republicans are eager to turn Mamdani’s left-wing platform into a wedge issue in competitive races far beyond New York City’s borders.
NBC News exit polling found that Mamdani won across racial demographics — with white, Black, Latino, Asian and voters of other races all backing his candidacy over Cuomo’s and Sliwa’s.
Younger voters overwhelmingly backed Mamdani, with NBC News exit polling showing that voters under 45 years old favored him over Cuomo by 43 points. Voters over 45, meanwhile, backed Cuomo by a 10-point margin.
Education played a big role, too, the exit polling showed. And one of the biggest divides in the election was between New Yorkers who were born in the city and those who had moved to New York within the last 10 years.
Meanwhile, with Mamdani’s pro-Palestinian activism having become a key issue in the race, NBC News exit polling found that Jewish voters favored Cuomo over Mamdani by 29 points, 60% to 31%.
Speaking to supporters after his defeat on Tuesday, Cuomo thanked Adams, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former New York Gov. David Paterson for their support. He called voters at his election eve party “New York patriots.”

“This campaign was the right fight to wage,” Cuomo said. “And I am proud of what we did and what we did together. This campaign was to contest the philosophies that are shaping the Democratic Party, the future of this city and the future of this country. And this coalition transcended normal partisan politics.”
The closing weeks of the race turned into a brawl between Mamdani and Cuomo, the onetime front-runner who spent the general election trying to play catch-up. The two had heated debates in recent weeks, with Cuomo calling Mamdani a “divisive force in New York” while Mamdani painted Cuomo as Trump’s “puppet.”
Trump made a late jump into the race Monday night, endorsing Cuomo on social media and saying a vote for Sliwa, the Republican nominee, was essentially a vote for Mamdani in the split general election field.
Interestingly, exit polling showed self-identified Republicans favored Cuomo over Sliwa, with 61% of Republicans him while just 35% backed Sliwa.

Late last month, Mamdani delivered an emotional address condemning what he slammed as “racist, baseless” attacks he has faced for his Muslim faith. He will be the first Muslim mayor in New York City history. His unapologetically pro-Palestinian stance energized progressives who oppose Israel’s war in Gaza, as pro-Israel Democrats and donors grew anxious about his rise.
At a rally alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., days later, Mamdani said Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa possess only “the playbook of the past.”
“They have sought to make this election a referendum not on the affordability crisis that consumes New Yorkers’ lives,” he said, “but on the faith I belong to and the hatred they seem to normalize.
