In the least surprising verdict ever, 12 Manhattanites just found Donald Trump guilty
Alex Berenson - May 30th 2024 5:28pm EDTI thought they’d wait for Friday and wrap it up before the weekend, but apparently they couldn’t be bothered to come in tomorrow. My piece from earlier today predicting a guilty verdict (and explaining why it won’t matter, except to further undermine confidence in the legal system) is here: The only real question now is: […]
The show trial of Donald Trump is closing
Alex Berenson - May 30th 2024 11:38am EDT The closing arguments have ended. The Manhattan trial of Donald Trump for the alleged felony of misclassifying business records (!) has reached the jury. Now the rest of us wait, for an outcome that seems preordained. After Michael Cohen’s disastrous cross-examination, I wondered if one or two jurors might refuse to convict Trump, leading to […]
FOIA, lies, and subpoenas
Alex Berenson - May 23rd 2024 1:40pm EDTThe bombshells from the Congressional investigation into the lab leak coverup by top federal health bureaucrats just keep coming. Now Dr. Anthony S. Fauci is squarely in the inquiry’s crosshairs. (To find out why, subscribe. Or wait a week. You aren’t going to want to wait, trust me…) Read more
The Donald Trump show (trial) is almost over
Alex Berenson - May 21st 2024 3:50pm EDT Testimony in the Manhattan criminal trial of Donald Trump has ended, with two witnesses telling two stories. Both cannot be true. Since last week, Robert Costello and Michael Cohen have told contradictory tales about Trump’s involvement in paying “hush money” to the porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Last week, Cohen, Trump’s […]
Team Apocalypse will not quit
Alex Berenson - May 20th 2024 4:02pm EDT The fact that public health bureaucrats and their pet science reporters are still lying about their Covid failures is maddening. But the fact they keep pressing for more “pandemic preparedness” and risky and hyper-fast vaccine development is not merely maddening. It’s dangerous. Even as Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and his acolytes complain about anyone who […]
The curtain may be coming down on Donald Trump’s show trial
Alex Berenson - May 17th 2024 2:02pm EDT You’d think a guy who lies as much as Michael Cohen would be better at it. On Thursday, under relentless cross-examination from defense lawyer Todd Blanche, Cohen drove the effort to make Donald Trump a felon for the “crime” of misclassifying accounting records over a cliff. To recap: in October 2016, Cohen paid the adult-film […]
As I work on a piece about the disaster that Donald Trump’s prosecutors suffered yesterday at their show trial… please enjoy this lovely summary of the disaster NIH bureaucrats suffered in Congress.
Alex Berenson - May 17th 2024 8:44am EDT So much good news today, the weekend is off to a hella start! bad cattitude NIH in the hotseat this is rep james comer grilling NIH deputy director lawrence tabak. he asks about an email from david morenz, senior advisor to tony fauci at NIH to peter daszak, the head of ecohealth, the group f… […]
Yep, they’re still trying to make H5N1 a thing
Alex Berenson - May 9th 2024 12:05pm EDT H5N1, we can’t quit you! Yes, with Covid firmly in the rearview mirror, Team Apocalypse has gone back to its old standby, the granddaddy of ‘em all, influenza. Covid needed a refresh. Even long Covid is now a punchline. And from Team Apocalypse’s point of view, the flu has the great virtue of occasionally taking […]
What if Donald Trump just walked out of the Manhattan show trial?
Alex Berenson - May 8th 2024 1:14pm EDT The lurid antics at Donald Trump’s show trial in Manhattan reached a new low yesterday, as the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels testified about the details of her 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. It’s anyone’s guess how Daniels’s “missionary position” testimony relates to the felony charges Trump faces over misclassified internal accounting records from 2017. But […]
Turns out you are just as angry as I am about what the government and media did to us in 2021
Alex Berenson - May 7th 2024 9:54am EDT If you haven’t read yesterday afternoon’s piece – “In 2021, they tried to destroy me for telling the truth” – I hope you will. A lot of you have already had a lot to say about it – and the importance of remembering how the White House, with the media’s assistance, subverted the First Amendment […]
In 2021, they tried to destroy me for telling the truth
Alex Berenson - May 6th 2024 4:56pm EDT I haven’t forgotten. Or forgiven. Last week, a Congressional committee released an massive report detailing how the Biden Administration stampeded the First Amendment in 2021 during its doomed quest to force mRNA vaccines on every American adult. By July, with the mRNAs failing and Covid deaths rising, the White House privately and publicly attacked Facebook, […]
Even when Covid vaccine advocates try to tell the truth about the mRNAs, they wind up lying
Alex Berenson - May 5th 2024 4:14pm EDTFor a minute Friday morning, I thought The New York Times would be honest about the mRNA shots. Silly me. On Friday, the Times ran a piece by Apoorva Mandavilli about Covid jab injuries. Mandavilli is the reporter who helped keep schools closed with nonsense about how kids might be Covid superspreaders. Who tweeted that […]
On the rising backlash against the campus pro-Hamas protests
Alex Berenson - May 2nd 2024 5:44pm EDT The Ivy League youth of today have demands. Very. Serious. Demands. They want freedom. For Hamas, natch. From the river to the sea, and who knows where after that? Maybe Paris, Paris is nice in the spring, as long as you don’t publish cartoons of the Prophet that the faithful don’t like. Then they kill […]
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is playing a very dangerous game in Donald Trump’s trial
Alex Berenson - Apr 29th 2024 3:14pm EDT“A criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election.” That’s the crime prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top official in Joe Biden’s Justice Department until he joined the Manhattan district attorney’s office to prosecute Donald Trump – claimed last week Trump had committed. That “scheme” is why Trump faces 34 New York state felony charges […]
URGENT: New York’s top court vacates Harvey Weinstein’s rape convictions – in a stunning ruling that may put the judge in Donald Trump’s case on notice
Alex Berenson - Apr 25th 2024 3:18pm EDT In the United States, we prosecute crimes, not people. Arguably, this rule is the fundamental principle of our justice system. Doesn’t matter if a defendant volunteers every Sunday or has an affair every Tuesday. Defendants are accused of committing specific offenses. Prosecutors must prove their guilt without making the trial a referendum on their character […]
Should Donald Trump refuse to participate in his show trial in Manhattan?
Alex Berenson - Apr 24th 2024 11:48am EDT The Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the American justice system. Like Trump or dislike him (and as you know, I dislike him), he is neck-and-neck with Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election. Trying the leader of the opposition party on criminal charges is no small matter in a democracy. It […]
The lawfare against Donald Trump hits new heights today
Alex Berenson - Apr 22nd 2024 1:52pm EDT This morning, I reread New York state’s 34-count felony indictment of Donald Trump – and the indictment’s accompanying “statement of facts.” I wanted to be sure the case was as bizarre as I remembered. It was worse. Donald Trump’s first criminal trial officially began today with opening statements in a lower Manhattan courthouse. That dry […]
Why I’m pushing on the lab leak again
Alex Berenson - Apr 16th 2024 4:43pm EDT A while back, I asked Unreported Truths readers what stories you wanted me to press. I was somewhat surprised to hear most of you didn’t care about Covid’s origins. You thought the question wasn’t worth our time, because anyone paying attention has known since 2020 that Sars-Cov-2 almost surely escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology […]
Ten years ago, microbiologist Ralph Baric told Tony Fauci and the world he would make coronaviruses more lethal. Then – with Fauci’s backing – he did.
Alex Berenson - Apr 15th 2024 6:39pm EDT (SECOND OF TWO PARTS; PART ONE IS HERE) Questioned under oath in 2022, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci largely denied knowing Dr. Ralph S. Baric, a North Carolina scientist and the world’s top coronavirus researcher. Fauci’s claim came though he met one-on-one with Baric as Covid raced around the globe in early 2020 – and though […]
1Why did Tony Fauci say under oath he barely knew top coronavirus scientist Ralph Baric – when in fact Fauci hosted a daylong 2013 meeting where Baric laid out his plans for risky research?
Alex Berenson - Apr 12th 2024 5:25pm EDT (PART 1) The evidence has been hiding in plain sight for years. On June 24, 2013, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci invited a small group of top coronavirus researchers to an all-day brainstorming session at a conference center at the National Institutes of Health. The subject was nominally an outbreak of a new illness called MERS, […]
Much more to come on this: but you might be interested to see that RFK Jr just picked up on an X post I made about Tony Fauci’s deceptive deposition testimony in Missouri v. Biden
Alex Berenson - Apr 10th 2024 10:46am EDT So yesterday I posted on X the fact that Dr. Anthony S. Fauci had repeatedly downplayed his relationships with Dr. Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak, two men who are closely connected with the Chinese lab in Wuhan from which Sars-Cov-2 likely leaked. (A longtime source has tipped me to a crucial bit of evidence that […]
The evidence Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric were part of the work that led to Covid continues to mount
Alex Berenson - Apr 7th 2024 3:06pm EDT I don’t agree with Dr. Peter McCollough in everything, but he has a nice summary of the new disclosures here, well worth a read; I’ll be approaching this investigation and these facts from another angle VERY soon. Meanwhile, the New York Times and the rest of the gang continue to see no FOIAs and speak […]
I know I’ve been AWOL
Alex Berenson - Apr 5th 2024 9:53am EDTThe good news is that the news seems to have gone on vacation too – the primaries are on autopilot, we’re in between trials against Trump, Wall Street remains in full Wile E Coyote mode, and even the border crisis seems to have slowed down a bit. Amazing, it turns out that those hopeless refugees […]
Four years in, the New York Times ALMOST tells the truth about Covid and the mRNAs
Alex Berenson - Mar 25th 2024 2:58pm EDT The New York Times was almost honest about Covid yesterday. The key word being almost. March is the season for Covid remembrances. On Sunday the Times ran a honker. Three reporters, 2,100 words. When I worked there, the Times internally called this kind of article an “All Known Thought” piece. Maybe it still does, I […]
URGENT UPDATE to Friday’s article on New York state’s lawfare against Donald Trump: The grownups have spoken, sort of
Alex Berenson - Mar 25th 2024 1:02pm EDTAssuming Trump can post the $175 million bond, he will now be able to appeal the insane $464 million (and counting) penalty that Judge Arthur Engeron imposed on him last month. He will not face losing his properties until his appeal is heard. Recall that Engeron’s ruling came for a “fraud” that Trump committed by […]
