President Trump issues a warning to treasonous leakers. Anthony Fauci is held in contempt and an unreleased Nicolas Cage film is stolen from Netflix HQ. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, August 6th. This is Evening Wire.
President Trump has a warning for leakers who told numerous media outlets that the U.S. was running out of munitions.
Daily Wire foreign affairs reporter Cassie Akiva has the latest. President Trump says officials leaking information about U.S. military munitions are, quote, being hunted down, warning his administration will seek long prison sentences while insisting America's weapons stockpiles remain strong and defense production is ramping up. Meanwhile, Iran's lead negotiator and parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, mocked Trump's approach to talks as, quote, theater diplomacy, accusing Trump of, quote, using bullying, broken promises, and fake news as leverage. Also, Iranian officials say they're nearing an agreement with Oman on a commercial shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, but insist that the waterway will not fully reopen until the U.S.
ends its naval blockade on Iran.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted today to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt. Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce has the details.
In a party-line vote, the committee approved a contempt resolution against Fauci after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times in last week's Senate testimony. Instead of pushing the resolution forward to a full Senate vote where it would likely be filibustered, the committee will recommend it directly to the Justice Department. Republicans took the step against Fauci because they argue the Fifth Amendment no longer covers Fauci's official actions during the pandemic after he was granted a wide-ranging pardon by former President Biden. George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley says the law here is complex.
The law behind this controversy is rather murky. People may be surprised that the cases in this area are relatively sparse. And so what Fauci is saying is that I'm really not protected without the privilege because there may be questions in ongoing state investigations or new questions that would put me at risk. What the committee is saying is that you have this sweeping pardon going back to 2014. And Chairman Paul specifically framed his final set of questions as only addressing matters within the confines of that pardon. So that's going to put into sharp relief for the court whether he truly has a right to invoke the privilege.
We reported yesterday on Democrats boycotting a Senate hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood. In that hearing, we learned of its ties to Hamas and its operations in the U.S. through CARE, or the Council on American Islamic Relations. Senator Ted Cruz, who chaired the meeting, explained the connection on Fox News.
What warning did President Trump give to leakers about U.S. munitions?
if you look at the muslim brotherhood they actually wrote their strategy in america in something that became known as the explanatory memorandum they put it in writing in two thousand four the explanatory memorandum explains that the muslim brotherhood is engaged in what they call they quote civilizational jihadist process and specifically they said their objective was quote a grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers.
During the hearing, experts testified that CARE is part of a larger Muslim Brotherhood network in the U.S. with overlapping leadership, shared ideology, and sustained reach into education, politics, and nonprofit advocacy.
