The Justice Department has been accused of violating grand jury secrecy rules in a scathing filing by the Southern Poverty Law Center.The longtime extremism watchdog, which is being prosecuted by the Trump administration on charges that it defrauded their donors through the use of paid informants embedded within hate groups, was hit with a superseding indictment on Tuesday.But in the filing on Wednesday evening, SPLC attorneys accused acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of blasting out a copy of the superseding indictment to the press before it was even docketed — which is not allowed under court rules."This action by Acting Attorney General Blanche’s Public Affairs Officer is all the more concerning in light of his earlier rush to begin a media campaign around the first indictment, his false statement in doing so, his need to make a correction, the motion that the SPLC filed in response, and the Court’s Order this week reminding the government of its heightened duty of candor as officers of the court," said the filing. "In light of those events, it is astounding that DOJ would not be even more vigilant in its actions directed at the media in this case. They were not."The filing asked the judge to order Blanche and his associates "to show cause to explain their conduct here, and hold a hearing to conduct targeted fact-finding to determine whether to impose appropriate sanctions against those involved."Already, the SPLC case has attracted intense controversy, as Blanche was accused of publicly lying about the case by saying on Fox News the group had not shared the information it got from informants with law enforcement — something the DOJ admitted it had done in court filings.

The U.S. House of Representatives successfully passed a rebuke against the president's U.S.-Israeli joint strikes on Iran on Wednesday.Democrats in the House narrowly passed the resolution by a vote of 215 to 208, with four Republicans joining their political opponents.'I told Iran, "It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!'''A White House official expressed to ABC News the view that the resolution is unconstitutional."President Trump will continue to protect our national security using his constitutional authority as commander in chief while being transparent with Congress," the official said.The official added that the resolution is unlikely to pass in the Senate, but even if it were to pass, it would have "no force or effect."The four Republicans who voted with Democrats were Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Tom Barrett of Michigan, and Warren Davidson of Ohio.The Senate is working on a separate version that would force the president to end the war, but even if the Senate passed it and got approval from the House, Trump could easily veto it. The president has been trying to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Iran, but the regime's nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz have been sticking points between the two nations.Also on Wednesday, Iran's foreign ministry defended the regime's attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait by accusing the Middle Eastern countries of allowing the U.S. to launch attacks from bases within their borders."Any hostile act will be met with an immediate, decisive response. What sanctions and war failed to achieve won't be won with more war," Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi said.Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana told reporters the wartime resolution was "dangerous" and "untimely." Trump berated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Axios, for threatening the peace negotiations by attacking Lebanon. "You're f**king crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this," the president said, according to a summary by one of the officials. RELATED: The Iran war is causing another shortage — and it will directly affect every American On Tuesday, the president posted an update on negotiations on Truth Social that denied some media reports claiming talks between the nations had ended."The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today," Trump posted."Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, 'It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!'" he added.Like Blaze News?

On June 3, a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, a second, expanded set of charges building on an original April 21 indictment, alleging that $4.1 million in tax-exempt funds paid informants inside extremist organizations who then recruited new members and purchased materials for cross burnings and Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's latest scheme to buy a private island in Albania astounded two political analysts on Wednesday. This week, Trump and Kushner unveiled their plans to buy a 1,400-hectare private island and build a resort for the ultra-wealthy. The Albanian government approved plans for the project last year, which is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $1.4 billion, according to reports. However, Albanian authorities opened a corruption investigation into the project on Monday because of the overlap between Kushner and Trump's businesses and President Donald Trump's political role, Politico reported. Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, co-hosts of "Pod Save America" and former Obama White House staffers, were stunned by the new project during a new episode of their podcast. "I don't understand these people. I don't understand what motivates them," Lovett said. "How they wake up every day and decide what they're going to do with their precious time on this earth. They've already stolen so much money. They've already made, uh, so much money off Donald Trump being in office. It is so nefarious. They are so rich. They could just be rich for the rest of their lives, but there's something clearly missing."Vietor added that the project reeked of corruption. "To your point, the scale of the corruption, it's so vast, it's hard to wrap your head around, and it's like relentless," Vietor said.
