Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The FBI just announced it disrupted an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol while lawmakers were inside. Meanwhile, federal agents seized former Rep. Eric Swalwell's phone and laptop and raided his D.C. home as part of a sexual assault investigation — and he's not the only House Democrat facing fresh scrutiny tonight. And after months of investigators warning it was coming, an ActBlue co-founder finally pled the Fifth before Congress.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The FBI announces it disrupted an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol in Albany while state senators were inside — a 35-year-old woman is in custody after allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS and buying an explosive device from undercover agents
- Federal agents seize former Rep. Eric Swalwell's iPhone and MacBook at the San Francisco airport and raid his D.C. home as part of a sexual assault investigation, following allegations from multiple women including a former staffer
- Rep. Jimmy Gomez's House Ethics scandal escalates as his accuser's attorneys reject his "consensual" defense, alleging outright sexual assault rather than an affair
- ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergalis pleads the Fifth Amendment in a closed-door deposition before three House committees — exactly what we told you was coming
- President Trump announces a new "Economic Warfare and Isolation" phase against Iran as the administration signals its next endgame in the ongoing war
