In a post on Truth Social, Trump also warned that the U.S. will take over Iran’s Kharg Island in the not-too-distant future.

From dismantling guardrails that upheld the integrity of past elections to gutting federal agencies and installing allies who supported Trump’s claim that the 2020 vote was stolen, here are the key takeaways from our recent investigation.

President Trump announced on Tuesday that Bill Pulte will assume the role of the U.S.’s intelligence chief earlier than anticipated, despite the threat that this controversial nomination poses to renewing America’s warrantless spy powers.
