House poised to pass bill that would sanction International Criminal Court for trying to arrest Netanyahu

The House is expected to pass legislation sanctioning the International Criminal Court on Thursday in protest of its arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This would be one of the first acts of the new Congress. 

The bill will then head to the Senate, where Republican Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has promised a swift vote to have it on President-elect Donald Trump’s desk by the time he takes office. 

Last time the House voted on the bill in June, 42 Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the legislation, despite opposition to it from President Joe Biden. 

Libertarian-minded Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who has not been afraid to break with his colleagues on Israel-related bills, questioned why the legislation was a week-one priority for the new congressional term. 

‘The United States is a sovereign country, so I don’t assign any credibility to decisions of the International Criminal Court. But how did a bill to protect Netanyahu make it into the House rules package to be voted on immediately after the Speaker vote? Where are our priorities?!’ he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, last week. 

The legislation was reintroduced by Texas Reps. Chip Roy, and Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast, both Republicans. 

On May 20, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif. All three Hamas leaders were killed in the past year. 

Netanyahu fired Gallant shortly after the U.S. presidential election. 

Khan’s application was unprecedented – the first time the criminal court had sought arrests for Western-allied officials. 

The judges on the ICC panel in November granted the warrants, finding that Netanyahu and Gallant ‘committed the war crime of using starvation as a method of warfare and crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts, as a direct perpetrator, acting jointly with others. The Chamber also found reasonable grounds to believe that they are each responsible for the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against civilians as a superior.’ 

‘The ICC is an illegitimate body that has no business interfering with our sovereignty or that of our allies,’ said Roy. 

‘The ICC’s attempt to obstruct Israel’s right to defend itself has only prolonged the war and prevented the release of American hostages by boosting Hamas’ morale,’ Mast said in a statement. 

Israel has carried out a vicious campaign to eliminate Hamas in Gaza since Hamas’ bloody attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Trump has warned both sides to wrap up the conflict and Hamas to return the hostages by the time he takes office on Jan. 20. 

The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act would sanction any foreigner working to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute U.S. citizens or those of an allied country. 

It spans the 32-member NATO security alliance and 19 major non-NATO countries, including Israel. 

It would also claw back any funds the U.S. has designated for the ICC and prohibit any future money from going to the court. 

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has introduced companion legislation in the Senate. When the legislation passed the House last Congress, then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., did not take it up for a vote in the upper chamber. With Republicans in charge, Thune is intent on passing the legislation and getting it to the president’s desk by the time he is inaugurated.

Jimmy Carter’s funeral brings all five living presidents together in Washington, DC

The funeral service of the late President Carter on Thursday at Washington, D.C.’s National Cathedral brought together all five living presidents together in one location.

The service comes as President Biden declared Thursday a National Day of Mourning for the 38th president, who died Dec. 29 at the age of 100. 

All five living men who once occupied the White House — the so-called presidents’ club — President Biden and former presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama and President-elect Trump came together for the first time since the 2018 funeral of former President George H.W. Bush.

Biden will deliver the eulogy. 

Ahead of the service, Trump was seen shaking hands with his former vice president, Mike Pence. Obama was seated next to Trump and the pair were seen shaking hands and chatting cordially.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., also attended, along with their Democratic counterparts, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Tributes began Jan. 4, when a motorcade carried Carter’s body through his hometown of Plains, Georgia, before heading to Atlanta and the Carter Presidential Center, where family and loved ones paid tribute.

Carter then lay in repose at the Carter Center and then the Capitol, where the public could pay respects from Tuesday evening through early Thursday.

After the D.C. service, the Carter family will head back to Plains for a private ceremony at Maranatha Baptist Church and another procession through Plains, where supporters are encouraged to line the streets for the motorcade before he’s buried on his property next to his late wife, Rosalynn, who died in 2023. 

Carter, the former governor of Georgia, won the presidency in 1976. He was guided by his devout Christian faith and determined to restore faith in government after Watergate and Vietnam. But after four years in office and impaired by stubborn, double-digit inflation and high unemployment, he was roundly defeated for re-election by Ronald Reagan. 

While in the White House, Carter established full diplomatic relations with China and led the negotiation of a nuclear limitation treaty with the Soviet Union. Domestically, he led several conservation efforts, showing the same love of nature as president as he did as a young farmer in Plains.

Carter lived out the rest of his years in the unassuming ranch house he’d built with his wife in 1961, building homes with Habitat for Humanity and making forays back into foreign policy when he felt it was needed, a tendency that made his relationship with the presidents’ club, at times, tense.

He earned a living in large part by writing books — 32 in all — but didn’t cash in on seven-figure checks for giving speeches or take any cushy board jobs as other presidents have. 

In his spare time, Carter, a deeply religious man who served as a deacon for the Maranatha Baptist Church of Plains, enjoyed fishing, running and woodworking. 

Carter is survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

The historic importance of Greenland for US national security as debate over island’s future roars on

As Donald Trump Jr. made a surprise visit to Greenland this week, President-elect Donald Trump’s rhetoric is getting more serious about buying Denmark’s Arctic territory.

The president-elect did not rule out using military coercion to gain control of Greenland in a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday. ‘No, I can’t assure you on either of those two,’ Trump said, when asked if he would rule out using military or economic coercion to gain control of Greenland. ‘We need it for national security. That’s for the free world. I’m talking about protecting the free world,’ he continued.

Meanwhile, Denmark’s leaders remain adamant the Arctic territory is not for sale. ‘We have a clear interest in that it is the U.S. that plays a large role and not Russia or other countries. But Greenland is for the Greenlandic people,’ Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters on Tuesday.

Greenlanders will vote later this year if they want to stay a part of Denmark or not. The strategic island is at a territorial crossroads, as the U.S., China and Russia race to control the melting Arctic region.

Denmark and therefore Greenland are NATO allies. Article 5 of the NATO charter states that any military attack on a NATO ally requires a military response from the rest of the alliance.

‘I don’t think it is useful to talk about Article five implications because the United States is not actually going to use force on NATO ally. There are lots of reasons why that would never happen.’ Ian Bremmer, founder and president of the Eurasia Group, told Fox News.

‘It’s not that you don’t take what the president says seriously, because the fact that he’s making these threats does change how much American allies feel like they can count on the United States going forward… it does undermine leverage that the U.S. has in terms of international rule of law. It brings us closer to the, to the law of the jungle,’ Bremmer continued.

Trump first began talk of buying Greenland in 2019 because it has about a quarter of the world’s rare earth minerals, needed for all electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, the defense industry and the new clean energy economy.

Sherri Goodman, who served as the Pentagon’s first undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security in the 1990s, recently wrote a book on the strategic and national security consequences of climate change titled, ‘Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership and the Fight for Global Security.’

Goodman has seen firsthand how important Greenland is to the U.S. military.

‘We’ve long had a military base in the north of Greenland to track former Soviet, now Russian incoming missiles or satellites. And because of climate change, navigation around Greenland and travel to Greenland is becoming more accessible,’ Goodman said.

Then-President Harry Truman wanted to buy Greenland after WWII to box out the Soviets from the Arctic. During the Cold War, the Arctic region was the most direct route for a strategic nuclear exchange between the U.S. and the USSR using long-range bombers and ballistic missiles. The GIUK Gap to the east of Greenland is a huge access point for Russia’s operations in the Atlantic Ocean. Greenland became a key location for early-warning networks and today is home to the northernmost U.S. military installation, Pituffik Space Force Base, which holds a substantial portion of the global network’s missile warning sensors and space surveillance sensors.

China’s ambitions in the Arctic have grown in recent years. In 2018, China laid out plans to build infrastructure and develop shipping lanes opened by climate change. State-owned businesses have put in bids to buy land in both Iceland and Greenland, so far with no luck.

Temperatures are rising in the Arctic four times faster than they are in the rest of the world, making access to the rare earth minerals it holds more accessible.

‘In this rush for resources, the U.S., NATO, and NATO allies want to ensure that China and Russia don’t access that. China has a history of using surrogate science and investigation as a way to gain access and learn about territories in the Arctic,’ Goodman said.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh was asked about Greenland at a Defense Department briefing on Wednesday. ‘I’m certainly not going to get into hypotheticals. I think that’s for the incoming administration to speak to,’ Singh said. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question about Greenland at a press conference in Paris on Wednesday. ‘The idea expressed about Greenland is obviously not a good one. But maybe more important, it’s obviously one that’s not going to happen. So we probably shouldn’t waste a lot of time talking about it,’ Blinken said.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Machado has urgent message for President-elect Donald Trump

After meeting with President Biden at the White House on Monday, Edmundo Gonzalez, the man who won Venezuela’s presidential election in July, traveled to Argentina and then Panama with the ballots to prove that he, not Nicolás Maduro, is Venezuela’s democratically elected leader.

‘We elected by a landslide, a good man and Edmundo Gonzalez. We have the proof of that victory, and the whole world knows it,’ María Corina Machado, a top leader in the Venezuelan opposition, told Fox News. ‘We won.’

Maduro’s inauguration is slated for Friday. The Venezuelan opposition has called for massive street protests to peacefully demand that Maduro, whose mafia-style autocratic leadership has nearly bankrupted the oil-rich nation, not be inaugurated.

‘What we need is for all American institutions understand that Venezuela is the most important conflict in the Western Hemisphere for national security of the U.S.,’ Machado said via Zoom from her safe house in Venezuela.

‘We can be the best ally the United States will have in the Americas, first of all, because we also are desperate to solve the migration problem in our region. We want those Venezuelans to come back in billions and voluntarily. And that will happen when they’ll see there’s a future in their country.’

Machado had the following message for President-elect Donald Trump: ‘Venezuela has a huge energy potential that will never be taken advantage of… We’re going to turn Venezuela from the criminal hub of the Americas into the energy hub of the Americas and have a strong partnership with the United States.’

Gonzalez, who Venezuela elected president in July, also met with incoming National Security Advisor Cong Michael Waltz of Florida while in Washington. Maduro has warned Gonzalez will be arrested if he returns to Venezuela. 

‘I want you to know how important it is also for the safety of the American people,’ Machado explained. ‘Solving this conflict in Venezuela, I believe that what happens in the next days in Venezuela depends not only the democracy, the future of our democracy, but the future of democracy in the region.’

Machado said the fall of the Assad regime in Syria is a cautionary tale for those in the military and judiciary who still support Maduro. The regime has sent secret police units to encircle her family members’ homes, sent a drone over her mother’s house and kidnapped President-elect Gonzalez’s brother-in-law on Tuesday.

‘Maduro has lost everything but fear and repression. Maduro lost all popular support, all legitimacy, and even he’s weakened or isolated internationally. What has he left? Russia, Iran, Hezbollah,’ Machado, a former member of Venezuela’s National Assembly, asked.

The Maduro regime also arrested two Americans one day after Gonzalez met with President Biden at the White House, accusing them of being mercenaries sent by the U.S. government. 

The State Department issued the following statement: ‘We are concerned about the reports of U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela. We are working to gather more information.  Due to privacy and other considerations, we have no further comment on these cases. Any claims of U.S. involvement in a plot to overthrow Maduro are categorically false. The United States continues to support a democratic solution to the political crisis in Venezuela.’

The State Department spokesman went on to warn U.S. citizens not to travel to Venezuela, because ‘Maduro and his associates have shown in the past, they may detain and jail, without justification or due process, U.S. citizens who enter Venezuela.’

‘Highly qualified’: Former state AGs urge Senate to confirm Bondi to lead Justice Department

A group of more than 60 former Democratic and Republican attorneys general sent a new letter to Senate leaders Thursday urging the confirmation of Pam Bondi to head up the Department of Justice, praising what they described as Bondi’s wealth of prosecutorial experience— including during her eight years as Florida’s top prosecutor—that they said makes her especially qualified for the role. 

The letter was previewed exclusively to Fox News Digital and includes the signatures of more than 20 Democratic attorneys general or attorneys general appointed by Democratic governors. 

The group praised Bondi’s work across the party and state lines during her time as Florida’s attorney general and as a state prosecutor in Hillsborough County, where she worked for 18 years. 

‘Many of us have worked directly with Attorney General Bondi and have firsthand knowledge of her fitness for the office,’ the former attorneys general said in the letter. ‘We believe that her wealth of prosecutorial experience and commitment to public service make General Bondi a highly qualified nominee for Attorney General of the United States.’ 

The letter praised what signatories described as Bondi’s ‘unwavering’ commitment to public safety and the rule of law in her time in the Sunshine State, where she sought to crack down on violent crime, protect consumers and combat the opioid crisis— which was at its height when she was elected as attorney general in 2010.

Bondi ‘was and remains a valued and respected member of the State Attorney General community,’ they wrote. ‘Thus, we are confident that she will serve with distinction as United States Attorney General.’

The letter comes just hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee announced the official dates for Bondi’s confirmation hearing later this month.

Bondi is expected to be confirmed in the Republican-majority chamber. Earlier this week, a group of more than 100 former Justice Department officials sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee urging her confirmation.

Still, the new letter of support from the state attorneys general comes just hours after the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., issued a statement Wednesday evening expressing fresh reservations about Bondi following their meeting — citing in particular Bondi’s work defending President-elect Donald Trump in his impeachment proceedings and following the 2020 election.

‘The role of the Attorney General is to oversee an independent Justice Department that upholds the rule of law and is free of undue political influence,’ Durbin said in a statement. 

‘Given Ms. Bondi’s responses to my questions, I remain concerned about her ability to serve as an Attorney General who will put her oath to the Constitution ahead of her fealty to Donald Trump.’

Two men are vying to be inaugurated as Venezuela’s president this week. Here’s what we know

Venezuela is set to inaugurate a head of state on Friday – but there are still two men claiming to be the nation’s rightful president.

Incumbent Nicolás Maduro is scheduled to attend a swearing-in ceremony on January 10 to begin his third term in power, despite many countries around the world disputing his claims to have won the presidential election in July.

His challenger Edmundo González Urrutia, who had been in exile in Spain since September, is determined to return to the capital Caracas by January 10 to take office, even under the threat of arrest by Venezuelan authorities.

Here’s what we know about the power struggle and what it means for the country and region.

How did we get here?

Maduro and González both claimed victory in the presidential election on July 28.

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, a body stacked with Maduro allies, formally declared Maduro the winner without providing voting tallies.

The opposition disputed the claim and released tens of thousands of tallies gathered from across the country, saying they proved González won by a landslide.

Thousands of Venezuelans protested the results in the immediate aftermath of the vote, demanding transparency. Many marched in the streets and clashed with police, fed up with the prospect of another Maduro presidency.

Venezuela’s government responded by launching a massive crackdown on the country’s opposition movement, arresting more than two thousand people, including hundreds of minors, in the first week after the election.

Venezuela’s public prosecutor’s office later issued a warrant for the arrest of González, prompting him to flee the country, and his fellow opposition leader María Corina Machado to go into hiding.

González has long vowed to return to Venezuela to form a new government and prevent a new Maduro term. Earlier this week, he urged the military to recognize him as their commander-in-chief and “put an end to the leadership” of Maduro, who has been in power since 2013.

What happens on inauguration day?

González could attempt to enter the Venezuelan capital with key supporters by his side.

Entering Venezuela could prove risky.

On Monday, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello warned that if González arrives in Venezuela, he will be arrested along with any former presidents who accompany him.

Pastrana responded to Cabello’s threat on X, saying, “if they don’t let us in, we’ll see each other on the way out. Very soon.”

For his part, Maduro says he has already received an invitation from the National Assembly to be sworn in at a ceremony on Friday.

The event will take place “in peace, in national unity, together with the people,” he said, alluding to extreme security measures his government is preparing for inauguration day. “There will be no fascism, there will be no imperialism that can stop it.”

In the days leading up to the inauguration, Venezuela said it had it arrested more than 125 people – among them foreigners from several countries including the United States – who were accused of being “mercenaries” involved in “destabilization actions.” It also integrated police and militias with the military, deploying troops across the country to maintain order before the swearing-in ceremony.

International impact

If Maduro takes office again, it could further deteriorate diplomatic relations with many of Venezuela’s neighbors.

A host of countries throughout the region have already refused to recognize his ruling, siding with González instead.

Venezuela cut ties with several countries that questioned the official election results and expelled some of their diplomatic staff. Some nations withdrew diplomats on their own, condemning Maduro’s refusal to give up power.

The inauguration is also expected to affect migration across the Americas.

Under Maduro’s presidency, up to 8 million people have fled Venezuela due to unprecedented levels of poverty and economic mismanagement, with many traveling thousands of miles to reach the US and other countries.

Brunswick Exploration Drills 37 Meters at 1.14% Extending the MR-3 Dyke at the Mirage Project

Brunswick Exploration Inc. ( TSX-V: BRW OTCQB: BRWXF ; FRANKFURT: 1XQ ; ‘ BRW ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to report the last results from the Mirage summer drilling campaign. The Mirage Project is located in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometers south of the Trans-Taiga Road. This campaign focused on the Central Zone including the MR-6 and MR-3 dykes (see October 8, 2024 press release ) and has continued to intersect wide and well-mineralized intervals on their extension and at depth.

Highlights include:

  • 37 meters at 1.14% Li2O in hole MR-24-87 and 1.15% Li2O over 23 meters in hole MR-24-89 extending mineralization at MR-3 down dip where it remains open.
  • New interval at the MR-6 Dyke with 1.74% Li2O over 19.7 meters in hole MR-24-84 and 0.93% Li2O over 13.5 meters in hole MR-24-75 extending the dyke to the northwest.
  • New multiple intervals in the stacked dyke area east of MR-6 with 1.39% Li2O over 12.9 meters and 1.99% Li2O over 10 meters in hole MR-24-78, 1.32% Li2O over 16.1 meters in hole MR-24-80 and 1.61% Li2O over 9.9 meters in hole MR-24-85
  • Hole MR-24-91, drilled for forthcoming metallurgical results, reaffirms the thick, near-surface continuous mineralization at MR-6 with 56 meters at 1.40% Li2O .

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: ‘Once more, our drilling continues to expand the known mineralized zones at Mirage both along strike and down-dip. I’m particularly pleased to see the wide, well-mineralized intercept in MR-3 where the dyke appears to thicken at depth. This is something observed across many well-mineralized lithium systems globally and Mirage is no different. Our primary objective at Mirage and across our portfolio is focused on defining a resource of at least 50Mt within 50km from infrastructure and drilling to date continues to underscore this potential.

‘While 2024 has been a challenging year for lithium markets, we have kept our focus on expanding Mirage and outlining new targets across our portfolio. We drilled approximately 12,000 meters just at Mirage, outlined several new significant dykes and substantially expanded the near-surface MR-6 dyke. Outside of Mirage, we also made the first greenfield lithium discovery in Greenland.

‘As we look to 2025, we will build upon these successes with a major winter drill program at Mirage, which will target new zones that have never been drilled before and launch one of the largest grassroot exploration program ever in Greenland.’

Mirage Project Drilling Overview

The Mirage Project comprises 427 claims located roughly 40 kilometers south of the Trans-Taiga Highway in Quebec’s James Bay region and 34 kilometers northeast of Winsome Resources’ Adina Project.

The summer drilling campaign focused on extending the mineralized dykes identified during the last two drilling campaigns. Highlights discussed in this release are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.

Figure 1 : Central Zone of the Mirage Project

Central Zone of the Mirage Project

The holes MR-24-86, MR-24-87 and MR-24-89 extended the MR-3 dyke 150m to the South (Figure 2). MR-3 has been now drill traced over an area measuring over 250 meters by 250 meters as seen on Figure 2 with an average thickness of 25 meters. Identified at surface to the north, the dyke plunges to the South where it remains open with the last intercept at a depth of only 125 meters vertical.

Interestingly, hole MR-24-87 shows a significant thickening of the pegmatite where it reaches an overall size of 58 meters downhole. This is associated with a larger core of higher-grade lithium mineralization highlighted in the intercept of 37.0 meters at 1.14% Li2O.

Cross Sections A to A

Holes MR-24-75 and MR-24-84 expanded the MR-6 dyke 100 meters to the Southwest. MR-6 has been now drill traced over an area measuring over 350 meters by 350 meters with an average thickness of 30 meters with a core zone where the average thickness increases to 50 meters. MR-6 continues to be open to the Northwest from surfaces to 170 meters vertical (Figure 3).

Figure 3 : Cross Sections B to B’

Cross Sections B to B

Holes MR-24-78, MR-24-81 and MR-24-85 were drilled in the stacked dyke zone located immediately to the East of MR-6. These new holes continue to confirm the potential of this zone with multiple wide high-grade lithium mineralization. Contained within an envelope of 250 meters by 300 meters, this zone remains open to the North, East and South. More drilling is needed to improve the interpretation of the geometry of each dyke in this zone.

QAQC

All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of BRW employees and contractors. The drill core was transported by helicopter and by truck from the drill platform to the core logging facility in Val-d’Or. Each core was then logged, photographed, tagged, and split by diamond saw before being sampled. All pegmatite intervals were sampled at approximately 1-meter intervals to ensure representativity. Samples were bagged; duplicated on reject, blanks and certified reference materials for lithium were inserted every 20 samples. Samples were bagged and groups of samples were placed in larger bags, sealed with numbered tags, in order to maintain a chain of custody. The sample bags were transported from the BRW contractor facility to the ALS laboratory in Val-d’Or. All sample preparation and analytical work was performed by ALS using ICP-AES according to the ALS method ME-MS89L. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the lab and all inserted standard and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits. All reported drill intersections are calculated based on a lower cutoff grade of 0.3% Li2O, with maximum internal dilution of 5 meters. Host basalts adjacent to the dykes may grade up to 0.3% Li2O but were excluded from the reported intersections.

Bold Ventures Receives Assays up to 68 g/t gold at the Newly Discovered 111 Zone at the Burchell Gold and Copper Property

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Bold’) is pleased to announce that it has received additional grab sample results ranging from 10 ppb Au up to 68,000 ppb Au (68 gt or 2.2 ozt gold (Au)) at the newly identified 111 (‘one-eleven’) Zone at its Burchell Gold and Copper Property (‘the Property’). The samples were collected during a short follow up sampling program in December 2024, in the vicinity of previous samples taken in November 2024. The November samples returned values ranging from

The 8 new samples collected at the 111 Zone in December consist of strongly sheared, strongly silicified, sericitized, tuffaceous mafic to intermediate volcanics, containing generally minor but up to 5% disseminated pyrite, and several fine specks of visible gold in the case of the sample which returned 68 g/t Au. The east-northeast-trending zone has limited exposure and appears to be at least 3 meters wide in outcrop, situated within a broad (>100 m wide) alteration zone that coincides with a prominent magnetic low. The zone of anomalous gold remains open in all directions.

Except for limited prospecting and sampling along strike during previous work by the Company, the 111 Zone has seen no known historical exploration work. During the upcoming 2025 field season, the Company intends to carry out backhoe stripping as well as mapping and sampling to ascertain the width of the zone. This work will be combined with additional prospecting and soil sampling along the 111 Zone and its strike extension to the southwest and northeast.

For a sketch map of the gold-bearing zone see Figure 1.

For descriptions of samples collected in December 2024 please see Table 1 below.

For descriptions and locations of samples collected in November 2024 please see Bold press release dated December 12, 2024.

FBI informant who made up Biden bribe story gets 6 years in prison

A former FBI informant who prosecutors say fabricated a phony story of President Biden and his son Hunter Biden accepting $10 million in bribes from the Ukrainian gas company Burisma was sentenced Wednesday to six years in federal prison. 

Alexander Smirnov, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, has been behind bars since he was arrested last February on charges of making false statements to the FBI. 

The indictment came in connection with special counsel David Weiss’ investigation into Hunter Biden. Weiss later indicted Hunter on tax and gun-related charges, but President Biden granted him a sweeping pardon in December before his son was to be sentenced. 

The Justice Department tacked on additional tax charges against Smirnov in November, alleging he concealed millions of dollars of income he earned between 2020 and 2022, and Smirnov pleaded guilty in December to sidestep his looming trial.  

Smirnov was accused of falsely telling his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had paid then-Vice President Biden and his son $5 million each around 2015. Smirnov’s explosive claim in 2020 came after he expressed ‘bias’ about Joe Biden as a presidential candidate, according to prosecutors. The indictment says investigators found Smirnov had only routine business dealings with Burisma starting in 2017 — after Biden’s term as vice president.

Prosecutors noted that Smirnov’s claim ‘set off a firestorm in Congress’ when it resurfaced years later as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden. The Biden administration dismissed the House impeachment effort as a ‘stunt.’

Before Smirnov’s arrest, Republicans had demanded the FBI release the unredacted form documenting the unverified allegations, though they acknowledged they couldn’t confirm if they were true.

‘In committing his crimes he betrayed the United States, a country that showed him nothing but generosity, including conferring on him the greatest honor it can bestow, citizenship,’ Weiss’ team wrote in court papers. ‘He repaid the trust the United States placed in him to be a law-abiding naturalized citizen and, more specifically, that one of its premier law enforcement agencies placed in him to tell the truth as a confidential human source, by attempting to interfere in a Presidential election.’

Prosecutors agreed to pursue no more than six years against Smirnov as part of his plea deal. In court papers, the Justice Department described Smirnov as a ‘liar and a tax cheat’ who ‘betrayed the United States,’ adding that his bogus corruption claims against the Biden family were ‘among the most serious kinds of election interference one can imagine.’ 

In seeking a lighter sentence, Smirnov’s lawyers wrote that both Hunter Biden and President-elect Trump, who was charged in two since-dropped federal cases by Special Counsel Jack Smith, ‘have walked free and clear of any meaningful punishment.’

His lawyers had asked for a four-year prison term, arguing that their client ‘has learned a very grave lesson,’ had no prior criminal record and was suffering from severe glaucoma in both eyes. Smirnov’s sentencing Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court concluded the final aspects of Weiss’s probe, and the special counsel is expected to submit a report to Attorney General Merrick Garland in accordance with federal regulations. Garland can decide whether to release it to the public. 

Smirnov will get credit for the time he has served behind bars since February.
