President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin Will Meet in Coming Days


Posted originally on CTH on August 7, 2025 | Sundance

The Kremlin is announcing that President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to meet in person and have agreed to the venue.  The meeting will take place “in coming days,” which indicates soon.

LONDON — The Kremlin on Thursday said Russia President Vladimir Putin agreed to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, though a specific date or location has yet to be announced.

Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov said that a “meeting between Putin and Trump (will take place) in the coming days,” adding that “work on the summit has now begun,” the Kremlin says.

Ushakov said that White House special envoy Steve Witkoff had raised the idea of a trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy but that the upcoming meeting would only be between Trump and Putin, the Kremlin said.

“The venue of the meeting between the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, has been agreed, and the Kremlin will inform about it later,” Ushakov said.

Though no specific location was disclosed, Ushakov suggested that Russia was “many friends who are ready to help us organize such events.”

“One of them is the President of the United Arab Emirates. I think we will decide, but it would be one of the most suitable, quite suitable places,” Ushakov said.

No date or location has been confirmed by either Russia or the United States. (read more)

HERE is the direct question response from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Question: Given the recent news about your upcoming meeting with President Trump, who initiated it?

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Both sides expressed interest. At this point, who reached out first is no longer relevant.

Question: Could you clarify please? Your Aide Yury Ushakov mentioned that the meeting will likely happen next week. Do you have any details on the location – even just a hint?

Vladimir Putin: We have many friends willing to help organize such events. One of them is the President of the United Arab Emirates. The exact venue is still being decided, but the UAE would be one of the suitable options.

Question: What about Zelensky? Will you be meeting with him?

Vladimir Putin: I have said repeatedly that I have no objection to meeting with him in principle – it is possible. But certain conditions must be in place first. Unfortunately, we are still far from that point.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears for an interview with Larry Kudlow to discuss the recent reporting around a potential meeting between President Trump and President Putin.

As Rubio notes, following the recent Moscow visit by Steve Witkoff, there is now great clarity on the terms and conditions for Russia to enter a ceasefire period.  President Trump has reportedly told EU officials he will likely pick-up the ceasefire negotiations soon via a face-to-face meeting with Putin.  WATCH:

At the White House event with Apple CEO Tim Cook, President Trump said that “there’s a really good prospect that” there will be a meeting with Zelenskyy and Putin. But he disagreed with the suggestion it amounted to a “breakthrough.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio notes in the interview here, “an opportunity will present itself very soon for the president to meet both with Vladimir Putin and with President Zelenskyy at some point here, hopefully in the near future.” Rubio added “a lot has to happen before that can occur.”

President Trump Releases Statement on Putin/Witkoff Meeting


Posted originally on CTH on August 6, 2025 | Sundance

Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff held another meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier today. This is the fifth meeting between Steve Witkoff and Vladimir Putin.

Witkoff has spent more time with Putin than any government official in recent history.

“My Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, just had a highly productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Great progress was made! Afterwards, I updated some of our European Allies. Everyone agrees this War must come to a close, and we will work towards that in the days and weeks to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” ~ President Trump

Assistant to the President of Russia, Yuri Ushakov, on negotiations with Witkoff:

The US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff was received by our president today. A very useful and constructive conversation took place. If we name the topics, first of all, of course, it is the Ukrainian crisis. And the second topic is the prospects for possible development of strategic cooperation between the US and Russia.

On our side, in particular on the Ukrainian issue, some signals were conveyed. Corresponding signals were received from President Trump as well.

The situation now is that our president has full information, that is, our signals and signals from President Trump. And Trump has not yet been informed about the results of this meeting. Therefore, I would refrain from more detailed comments. Let’s see when Witkoff can report to Trump about today’s conversation. After that, obviously, I will be able to supplement my comments more substantially.

Administration Officials Meeting to Discuss Public Release of Recording and Transcript of Deputy AG Todd Blanche Interview with Ghislaine Maxwell


Posted originally on CTH on August 6, 2025 | Sundance

According to sourced media reporting, Vice-President Vance, Chief of Staff Wiles, FBI Director Patel, AG Pam Bondi and DAG Blanche are meeting today to discuss releasing the audio and transcript of Blanche’s two-day interview with Ghislaine Maxwell.

WASHINGTON DC – Top Trump administration officials will gather at the vice president’s residence Wednesday evening as they continue to weigh whether to publish an audio recording and transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s recent conversation with Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

The administration’s handling of the Epstein case, as well as the need to craft a unified response, is expected to be a main focus of the dinner, three sources familiar with the meeting told CNN. The meeting will include White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Blanche.

With the exception of Vance, the White House considers those officials the leaders of the administration’s ongoing strategy regarding the Epstein files, two of the sources said.

The meeting comes as Trump’s administration is considering releasing the contents of Blanche’s interview last month with Maxwell. Two officials told CNN that the materials could be made public as early as this week. (more)

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Breaks Down Russiagate with Details and Explanations of the Silo Systems


Posted originally on CTH on August 6, 2025 | Sundance

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears for an extensive podcast interview with Miranda Devine.

It may create ‘splodey heads in Washington DC, but DNI Gabbard is now positioned as the tip of the spear to penetrate the fraud, lies, schemes and manipulations of the Intelligence Branch of government.  Tulsi Gabbard is the leading voice for honesty and sunlight against the entire DC apparatus that participated in the Russiagate construct.

Gabbard now understands how the DC silo system was weaponized during the manufacturing of information against a political candidate, Donald Trump.  Gabbard is speaking truth toward a corrupt system, and she will be the target of all fury that’s dependent on the retention of the corruption.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sits down with Miranda Devine to discuss, in her own words, Obama’s Russiagate plot to sabotage Trump, Hillary Clinton’s vendetta against her, and the evidence that could topple Brennan, Clapper, and Comey. WATCH:

President Trump Threatens to Federalize DC Law Enforcement Following Brutal Attack on Edward Coristine (DOGE “Big Balls”)


Posted originally on CTH on August 6, 2025 | Sundance 

President Trump responded to a brutal attack on Edward Coristine, the DOGE employee known as “Big Balls.”

“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!

The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.

Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore.

Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime.

If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”  ~ President Donald Trump

Letters and Documents Purposefully Leaked by Main Justice Indicate Russiagate Investigation is Not Serious


Posted originally on CTH on August 5, 2025 | Sundance

The entire grand jury process is extremely protected as the 5th amendment requires. Fullstop.

Unfortunately, we have a long and painful history with the Trump-era Main Justice system, intentionally leaking information to satiate the MAGA base and tamp-down demands for reform and accountability.  For seven years various Trump officials have claimed to be working to bring accountability. None has been delivered.

Also unfortunately, the pattern of bread and circuses is repeating.  The Dept of Justice leaked a letter to The Federalist, in order to affirm their performance.

[SOURCE]

Obviously, The Federalist is well aware of who the assigned “prosecutor” is.  However, telling the audience that name does not support the ongoing ‘clickbait’ performance as orchestrated by Pam Bondi’s Dept of Justice.  After all, there’s the important public opinion to be shaped.

The DOJ sending this letter to journalist Sean Davis is a case study in exactly what ‘Bread and Circuses’ looks like.

The DOJ providing this letter directly to The Federalist, indicates the purpose of Pam Bondi’s DOJ action is performative; not substantive.  If the DOJ does not want to compromise their grand jury case, then why are they leaking their letters? Simply, think about it.

The compromise and motive to note is not in the reporting per se’; it’s in the DOJ selective (purposeful) leaking. And in this example, it indicates a profound lack of seriousness.

It’s likely the DOJ knows the challenge of the case is a very high bar and they are unlikely to clear it. So, what they are doing is appeasing the ‘Russiagate’ crowd, with the performance of the investigation itself.  However, this is a very dangerous approach to take given the nature of seven years of bread and circuses in the background.

If the cases were perceived as solid and serious, there would be no reason for Pam Bondi’s DOJ to be leaking internal documents to Fox News, Mollie Hemmingway, John Solomon, Sean Davis or any other media outlet.

Fox News originally broke the story of the Grand Jury after they were sent documents from Bondi’s authorization of a prosecutor to review evidence and empanel a grand jury.  Now Pam Bondi’s assigned prosecutor is sending copies of his/her letters to The Federalist.

Does this sound like serious investigative action taken by serious Main Justice leadership?  No, unfortunately it sounds like a profoundly unserious ‘tick-tock’ screenplay is being delivered, because that is exactly what these actions indicate.

We have experienced seven-years of ‘tick-tocking’, and intentional leaks, orchestrated for a purpose other than truth and justice. We The People deserve better.

If the DOJ is going to leak letters and documents to ‘CONservative’ media for clickbait excitement, the outlook for serious legal accountability is not good.

…”are you not entertained?”

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Provides Update on Current Russiagate Declassification and Investigation


Within this interview, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard states she has met with the assigned federal prosecutors from the Department of Justice to hear their requests for information as the investigation begins.

This interview is well worth watching as Director Gabbard outlines the nature of the battle within the DC corrupt state as it exists.  There is an institutional struggle taking place as each agency of government now has a political battle within it.

*NOTE* At this moment I do believe Tulsi Gabbard is an honest broker in this battle against the Intelligence Community. It is because she is against their interests that the Fourth Branch of Government is attacking her.

That said, I do not put the same level of honesty around Main Justice specifically because the DOJ is headed by a corrupt and deceitful liar.  All indications from the process issues currently underway, highlight the motive of the DOJ is to put on a performance, not actually deliver accountability.  I will give direct examples in the next post.
