Did Ex-FBI boss James Comey 'botch' Hillary Clinton's email probe? Declassified docs make shock revelation
Coming on the heels of Tulsi Gabbard's allegations that the Obama administration manufactured the 'hoax' around Donald Trump's Russia link, this new set of documents, released by Senator Chuck Grassley, alleges that Comey deliberately did not investigate Hillary Clinton's email servers.
Senator Grassley's office released a statement saying that the DOJ Inspector General's Clinton annex shows that the FBI obtained thumb drives during the Clinton investigation but failed to conduct further targeted searches on them.
It alleges then-FBI Director Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former Agent Peter Strzok, and others did not examine their contents.
The Hillary Clinton email controversy, one of the key Republican agendas of the 2016 US election, refers to Clinton using a private email server for official communication during her time as the US Secretary of State, from 2009 to 2013, under Obama. The Clinton email controversy sparked an FBI probe over allegations that potentially classified documents were compromised.
The FBI, under James Comey, probed the incident and concluded in 2016 that Hillary Clinton was "extremely careless" with her handling of the email server. Of the 30,000 work‐related emails handed over to the State Department for the probe, 110 emails (across 52 chains) were found to have contained classified information.

Take a look at the front page that went viral as Trump arrived in Scotland
As US President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Saturday for a five-day contoversial visit to the UK and Europe, a Scottish newspaper went viral with its daring front page headline — 'Convicted US Felon to Arrive in Scotland'. The headline, which has been in the eye of a controversy since it came to light, was referring to the conviction of Trump on 34 counts of forging business records in May 2024. The controversial cover quickly went viral on social media, with many people criticising it while others applauding it. 'Scotland falls under UK law…. So the UK welcomes criminals, rapists and pedos,' a Trump supporter said. 'Beautiful! Don't let the angry fascists discourage you from printing facts,' a user commented, supporting the newspaper. Donald Trump was convicted on all charges related to a business fraud case in New York in May 2024. Prosecutors said the Republican leader had masked payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen who paid $130,000 in suspected hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels. It was alleged Trump masked these payments as legal fees, violating law. Trump is also charged in Florida for illegally storing classified documents in his mansion even after leaving office as President in 2020. He has denied the charges. The US President is also accused of trying to reverse the 2020 election outcome with false allegations of a fraud and making attempts to prevent peaceful power transfer with the January 6 Capitol attack. Donald Trump told reporters upon his arrival that he will visit his two golf properties in Scotland. Trump will be in Scotland until Tuesday, and plans to talk trade with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Arriving on UK soil late Friday, Trump confirmed he would meet the head of the European Commission, which has been negotiating with Washington on behalf of the 27-nation bloc. "I'll be meeting with the EU on Sunday, and we'll be working on a deal," he told reporters as he touched down at Prestwick Airport near Glasgow. "Ursula will be here -- a highly respected woman. So we look forward to that," Trump said.

How many countries supported India in Kargil War, countries that stood with Pakistan were…
How many countries supported India in Kargil War, countries that stood with Pakistan were… Do you know the names of the countries that supported India during Kargil war and the countries which stood with Pakistan? By Joy Pillai Edited by Joy Pillai Advertisement How many countries supported India in Kargil War, countries that stood with Pakistan were… Kargil War was the time when the Indian Armed Forces showcased their prowess, defeating Pakistan. The neighbouring country was badly defeated in the war on both diplomatic and military fronts. If we talk about Operation Sindoor, the United States' attitude towards Pakistan was quite soft and sympathetic, but during the Kargil War the situation was completely different, and the then US president Bill Clinton was not happy with Pak and behaved very rudely with Nawaz Sharif. Advertisement === Notably, Sharif's offer to meet in private was rejected by Clinton. He even told the then Pak PM that 'I already told you that if you do not withdraw your troops unconditionally, then there is no need to come here.' Which Country Supported India During Kargil War? Advertisement === During the Kargil war, the G-8 countries supported India in the Cologne Summit. The European Union and the ASEAN organisation also stood with India's efforts to protect the integrity of the Line of Control. India also received the support of the ASEAN Regional Forum. Amidst the advancing Indian forces and strong international pressure, Pakistan had no option but to retreat. Indian forces had already pushed Pakistan far back. After initial blunders, the Indian Armed Forces had turned the war in their favour. The then US President was extremely upset with Pakistan's attitude. Then Indian prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had travelled to Lahore by bus to put an end to the decades-long hostility between the countries. Clinton Was Very Angry With Pakistan Following India's successful 'Operation Sindoor', US President Trump appears to be showing more support for Pakistan. In contrast, during the 1999 Kargil War, then US President Bill Clinton expressed displeasure towards Pakistan. On July 4, 1999, Clinton met with Nawaz Sharif, a meeting that Clinton had reluctantly agreed to. Clinton had told the Pak PM that he wanted this conversation to be on record. This attitude of US president shocked Sharif. It was the time when the process of improvement in relations between India and America started, which later turned into a strategic partnership. Sharif then agreed to withdraw his troops remaining within Indian borders. Kargil Vijay Diwas 2025 After 74 days long war was officially ended on July 26, 1999, with Pakistan withdrawing its troops from the warzone. With the help of the US, it tried to hide its face from the shame of defeat under the guise of a ceasefire. In reality, Pakistan was defeated on every front in the Kargil War.
