Under President Trump’s leadership, the FBI is going on OFFENSE against cyber criminals targeting the American people.
Through Operation Blackout - this FBI’s global scam center demolition campaign:
20+ scam compounds DEMOLISHED. $17 BILLION+ seized. 11,000 Americans protected from $675 MILLION in fraud.
Cybercriminals no longer have sanctuary no matter where they try to hide - we’re finding them and we’re getting them.

Congratulations to my friend Katie Zacharia on being named the new White House Press Secretary.
President Trump made an outstanding choice. Katie is sharp, fearless, and knows what it means to stand for the American people.
We will continue to work together and back the men and women of law enforcement. The Trump administration and this FBI have delivered the largest reduction in violent crime in U.S. history, and we look forward to having Katie share this and many more historic successes with the American people.

Following an FBI investigation with our interagency partners, this morning ousted President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro is now charged by superseding indictment with one count of Conspiracy to Commit Torture — also charging former First Lady of Venezuela Cilia Flores de Maduro with one count of Conspiracy to Commit Torture and one count of Narcoterrorism.
As alleged in the indictment, the Maduro regime subjected over a dozen American citizens to torture while held in custody of the Venezuelan government - including drugs, electrocution, sexual assault, and more. They will now answer for their crimes.
These charges follow the historic law enforcement operation proudly supported by this @FBI in January, which arrested Maduro and executed one of the most daring FTOCs in US history, returning him and his wife to the United States - an operation which required months of coordination, detailed planning, and seamless execution across multiple components of the federal government led by the Department of War.
Today’s charges reflect the commitment from this FBI and this Department of Justice to accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of U.S. national security.
Thank you to @NewYorkFBI who brilliantly led this investigation with our partners.

BREAKING: Authorities have stopped an alleged ISIS-inspired mass shooting plot targeting the Mall of America before it could be carried out.
Federal prosecutors say 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud pledged allegiance to ISIS and initially wanted to travel overseas to fight for the terrorist group before allegedly turning his attention to Minnesota.
Court documents allege Mohamud planned to attack an Oct. 24 event at the mall, hoping to kill 30 to 60 people.
The FBI arrested him after he allegedly bought an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition from an undercover agent. | @AmericaRpts @Garrett_FoxNews

Foreign adversaries take note: America is no longer a safe place to run your espionage operations.
Allegedly surveil a foreign leader’s family on U.S. soil for the PRC — and try to catch a flight back to Shanghai?
Not happening.
This FBI is hunting threats to our national security wherever they hide — and bringing them to justice.

CHINA’S SPY GAME JUST HIT A WALL.
The FBI arrested an alleged PRC agent at LAX before she could board a flight to Shanghai.
According to the federal complaint, she surveilled the Taiwanese President’s son and his family — filming their home, vehicles, and reporting information back to PRC handlers.
You don’t get to conduct foreign intelligence operations on American soil and simply hop on a plane home.

Summer Heat 2.0 brought RESULTS:
🔺 Just south of 9,000 arrests
🔺 5,000 firearms seized (up 120%)
🔺 687 kg of fentanyl seized (up 63%)
🔺1,400 children identified or located (up 30%)
The numbers don't lie. This FBI will not stop until these violent criminals face justice.

We went on offense — and the results speak for themselves.
Summer Heat 2.0:
✓ 120% increase in weapons seized
✓ 65% increase in fentanyl seized
✓ 35% increase in children found and located
✓ Arrests up 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, even 80% in cities across America
We moved 2,000 FBI personnel out of Washington and permanently into the field because that’s where the mission is.
We are not waiting for gangbangers, drug traffickers, and weapons dealers to devastate our communities.
Under President Trump’s leadership, this FBI is staying on offense to crush violent crime and defend the homeland.

🚨 Another high-value target returned to the U.S. by this FBI via Foreign Transfer of Custody
David Ansariy, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Uzbekistan, is now back in the States and is charged with multiple counts of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations including ISIS.
Ansariy was an alleged leader of a radicalized group of individuals in New York seeking to become ISIS fighters — as well as to finance the travel of others. He fled overseas in 2016 and has been a fugitive since then — federally indicted since 2021. He will now face justice.
Outstanding work from @NewYorkFBI and our partners.

“I want to know how your wealth increased 4,000% since you became a United States Senator. That’s a magic act.” — @FBIDirectorKash
Welch: 4,000%. Padilla: 715%. Schiff: 576%. Hirono: 575%. Booker: 446%. Durbin: 364%.
Each respective Senator got richer as their states suffered. CA under Padilla & Schiff suffered a net domestic loss ~216,000 people in 2024–25. Population slipped. L.A. County lost the most residents of any U.S. metro. California’s share of the U.S. economy fell from 14.5% to 13.8%. Gas ~40% higher, utilities ~61% higher. Median home ~$830K vs. ~$360K in Texas. People who leave cut housing costs by ~$670 a month.
They lecture you about “equity” while their net worth compounds and working families flee their states due to lack of affordability.
They ostensibly sell socialism as compassion. Socialism requires control and control at that scale requires a police state...and that we are NOT!
We are a Constitutional Republic—safeguarded by law enforcement under the Constitution, not a ruling class that gets rich while the states they govern empty out.

FENTANYL KILLS AMERICANS — AND WE’RE SHUTTING DOWN THE PIPELINE.
We’re targeting the precursors, the manufacturers, the cartels, and the money that keeps this deadly trade alive.
Last year saw a 20% reduction in opioid deaths.
No sanctuary. No safe haven. If you’re poisoning Americans with fentanyl, we’re coming for you.

They told you Kash Patel would make America less safe.
Sen. Dick Durbin: “Would make our country less safe.”
Sen. Alex Padilla: “If he is confirmed, Americans will be less safe.”
Sen. Mazie Hirono: “Will make our country less safe, less secure.”
Sen. Cory Booker: “I believe you have made our country weaker and less safe.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin: “You’ve left all of us less safe than before.”
Turns out, they were wrong.

Honored to join the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund today to read the names of the 34 FBI personnel we lost to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
We honor the 668 law enforcement officers who lost their lives that day running toward the towers and the Pentagon that morning, and those taken in the years since by the illnesses that followed.
Their sacrifice still defines the job. We will never forget them.

This deal is a huge win for both the American and Venezuelan people.
It demonstrates how President Trump's bold foreign policy is driving America First wins: securing stable reserves and low-cost oil in our Hemisphere and lowering gas prices here at home.
For the Venezuelan people, this deal will bring nearly $100 billion in private investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and drive the reconstruction of Venezuela's economy.

Thank you, Karoline.
A true friend and one of the greatest to ever stand at that podium.
You handled the job with strength and clarity. Grateful for everything you gave this fight.
Excited for what’s next.

Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.
Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.
Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.
President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.
Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.
And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸
