Paul Gosar's Involvement: Evidence and Allegations Link Congressman to January 6th Planning and Certification Challenge

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The role of Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) in the events leading up to and during the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol has been a significant focus of congressional inquiry and media reporting. Information presented by the House Select Committee and various news outlets links Gosar to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, both in Washington and at the state level.
Gosar's activities on and before January 6th fall into three primary areas: directly challenging the election results, engaging with rally organizers, and making inflammatory public statements.
The Certification Challenge
On the day of the Capitol attack, Gosar led the charge on the House floor to reject the electoral votes from his home state of Arizona.
Challenging Votes: Gosar was one of the key lawmakers to object to the certification of Arizona's electoral votes during the joint session of Congress. After the Capitol was breached and secured, he returned to the floor to join others in the final, unsuccessful effort to reject electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania.  
White House Meeting: The January 6th Committee presented testimony indicating that Gosar participated in a White House meeting in which plans were discussed to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally reject Electoral College votes on January 6th.
Ties to Rally Planning and Organizers
Reports suggest Gosar was more than just a floor combatant; he was allegedly involved in the lead-up to the mass demonstration that preceded the riot.
"Dozens of Briefings": Investigative reporting, corroborated by sources cooperating with the Jan. 6th Committee, alleged that Gosar and his staff participated in "dozens of briefings" with key organizers of the "Stop the Steal" movement. These meetings reportedly involved planning the main rally on the Ellipse and strategizing to target key states with protests.
Encouraging Attendance: In the days leading up to January 6th, Gosar encouraged supporters to attend, tweeting for them to "be there, it's going to be wild."  
Rally Speech: Gosar spoke at the rally on the morning of January 6th, leading the crowd in chants of "Stop the steal" just hours before the mob breached the Capitol perimeter.
Censure and Controversy
Gosar's conduct has led to repercussions in the House.
House Censure: In November 2021, the House of Representatives took the extraordinary step of formally censuring Gosar and stripping him of his committee assignments (though these were later reinstated). While the censure was specifically for posting an animated video depicting violence against a fellow member of Congress, his broader pattern of inflammatory rhetoric, including his efforts to sow doubt about the 2020 election, was central to the debate.  
Refusal to Comply: Gosar did not cooperate with the House Select Committee, refusing to comply with a subpoena for his testimony regarding his communications and activities related to the day.
Despite the intense scrutiny and allegations of being "intimately involved" in the planning of the protests, Gosar has consistently denied involvement in the violence and has characterized the committee's work as a "witch hunt."

The $1 Billion Blunder: Did Melania Trump's Threat Just Hand Michael Wolff a Subpoena to the Epstein Files?

The $1 Billion Blunder: Did Melania Trump's Threat Just Hand Michael Wolff a Subpoena to the Epstein Files? NEW YORK, NY—In a legal escalation that has seized public attention, Michael Wolff, the author known for his disruptive books on the Trump administration, has flipped the script on Melania Trump's billion-dollar defamation threat, using the challenge as an immediate launching pad to demand sworn testimony about the Trumps' ties to Jeffrey Epstein.   The stunning turn of events stems from a legal letter sent by the former First Lady’s attorney, demanding Wolff retract and apologize for statements made in social media videos and a podcast. The claims centered on the assertion that Melania Trump was "very involved" in Epstein's social circle where she met her husband, and that the marriage was a "sham". The letter threatened a lawsuit for over $1 billion in damages, alleging the comments caused "overwhelming reputational and financial harm....

White House East Wing Demolished for Trump's $250 Million Private Ballroom

WASHINGTON D.C. — In a move stirring both anticipation and controversy, demolition has officially begun on a section of the historic White House East Wing, making way for what will be known as "The Donald J. Trump Ballroom at the White House." This ambitious project, projected to cost an estimated $250 million, is being financed entirely through a combination of private donations and a personal contribution from President Trump. ​The planned 90,000-square-foot annex represents one of the most significant expansions to the Executive Residence in over a century. Envisioned as a grand venue capable of hosting up to 999 guests, it aims to replace the current East Room, which President Trump has deemed too small for modern state dinners and large official gatherings, often necessitating the construction of temporary tents on the South Lawn. ​However, the project is not without its critics. The decision to fund such a substantial renovation with private money has raised eyebrows...
