Russia allegedly had intelligence suggesting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taking "heavy tranquilizers," which former President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders found to be "extraordinarily alarming," a newly declassified intelligence report claims.Fox News Digital first reported that the U.S. intelligence community did not have any direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect Donald Trump during the 2016 election, but, at the "unusual" direction of then-President Obama, reportedly published "potentially biased" or "implausible" intelligence suggesting otherwise.BRENNAN DIRECTED PUBLICATION OF 'IMPLAUSIBLE' REPORTS CLAIMING PUTIN PREFERRED TRUMP IN 2016, HOUSE FOUNDThe information came from a report declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The report was prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2020.The report, which was based on an investigation launched by former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., was dated Sept. 18, 2020. At the time of the publication of the report, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was the chairman of the committee.The report had never before been released to the public, and instead, remained highly classified within the intelligence community.Fox News Digital obtained the "fully-sourced limited-access investigation report that was drafted and stored in a limited-access vault at CIA Headquarters." The report includes some redactions.One section of the report states that the material in Putins possession included Russian intelligence on Democratic National Committee information allegedly showing that senior Democrat leaders found Clintons health to be "extraordinarily alarming.""As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service had DNC information that President Obama and Party leaders found the state of Secretary Clintons health to be extraordinarily alarming, and felt it could have serious negative impact on her election prospects," the report states. "Her health information was being kept in strictest secrecy and even close advisors were not being fully informed."The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service also allegedly had DNC communications that showed that "Clinton was suffering from intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.'""Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers and while afraid of losing, she remained obsessed with a thirst for power," the report states.The Russians also allegedly had information that Clinton "suffered from Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."The Russians also allegedly possessed a "campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to distract the American public from the Clinton email server scandal."Gabbard, during the White House press briefing Wednesday, said there were "high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's, quote, psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.""Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived false narrative that Putin developed a, quote unquote, clear preference for Trump," Gabbard said. "Brennan and the IC misled lawmakers by referencing the debunked Steele dossier to assess, quote unquote, 'Russia's plans and intentions,' falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence value when he knew that it was discredited, the intelligence community excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence that contradicted the intelligence community assessments.""Key findings on Putin's alleged support for Trump, including this intelligence reporting, would have exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if not ridiculous," she said.Neither Clinton nor Obama responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment.A tranquilizer is a drug used to reduce mental disturbance, such as anxiety and tension. Tranquilizers are typically prescribed to individuals suffering from anxiety, sleep disturbances and related conditions affecting their mental and physical health.OBAMA OFFICIALS ADMITTED THEY HAD NO 'EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE' OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION: HOUSE INTEL TRANSCRIPTSFox News Digital, in 2020, first reported on the "Clinton Plan."On July 28, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefedObama on a plan from one of Clinton's campaign foreign policy advisors allegedly "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."Comey, Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper were in the BrennanObama briefing.After that briefing, the CIA reportedly properly forwarded that information through a Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL) to Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, with the subject line: "Crossfire Hurricane."Fox News Digital exclusively obtained and reported on the CIOL in October 2020, which stated: "The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate.""Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date," the memo continued. "An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clintons approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."The FBI on July 31, 2016, opened a counterintelligence investigation into whether candidate Trump and members of his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign.That investigation was referred to inside the bureau as "Crossfire Hurricane."OBAMA ADMIN 'MANUFACTURED' INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE 2016 RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTS SHOWFormer Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the FBIs original "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation. After nearly two years, Muellers investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.Shortly after, John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe.Durham found that the FBI "failed to act" on a "clear warning sign" that the bureau was the "target" of a Clinton-led effort to "manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes" ahead of the 2016 presidential election."The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBIs investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durhams report states."Indeed, had the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as an assessment and, in turn, gathered and analyzed data in concert with the information from the Clinton Plan intelligence, it is likely that the information received would have been examined, at a minimum, with a more critical eye," the report continued.Durham, in his report, said the FBI "failed to act on what should have been when combined with other incontrovertible facts a clear warning sign that the FBI might then be the target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election."Meanwhile, the report states that Brennan "ordered the post-election publication of 15 reports containing previously collected but unpublished intelligence, three of which were substandard containing information that was unclear, of uncertain origin, potentially biased, or implausible and those became foundational sources for the ICA judgments that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton."FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCES"The ICA misrepresented these reports as reliable, without mentioning their significant underlying flaws," the committee found."One scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports constitutes the only classified information cited to suggest Putin aspired to help Trump win," the report states, adding that the ICA "ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence reports that challenged-and in some cases undermined judgments that Putin sought to elect Trump."The report also states that the ICA "failed to consider plausible alternative explanations of Putins intentions indicated by reliable intelligence and observed Russian actions."The committee also found that two senior CIA officers reportedly warned Brennan that "we dont have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected."Despite those warnings, the Obama administration moved to publish the ICA.The report also includes intelligence from a longtime Putin confidant who explained to investigators that "Putin told him he did not care who won the election," and that Putin "had often outlined the weaknesses of both major candidates."FLASHBACK: DNI DECLASSIFIES BRENNAN NOTES, CIA MEMO ON HILLARY CLINTON 'STIRRING UP' SCANDAL BETWEEN TRUMP, RUSSIAThe report also stated that the ICA committed context showing that the claim that Putin preferred Trump was "implausible if not ridiculous."The committee also found that the ICA suppressed intelligence that showed that Russia was actually planning for a Clinton victory because "they knew where (she) stood" and believed Russia "could work with her."The declassification of the report comes just days after Gabbard declassified and released documents that included "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrated how, after Trump won the 2016 election against Clinton, then-President Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong TrumpRussia collusion probe.Meanwhile, Fox News Digital, in 2020, exclusively obtained the declassified transcripts from Obama-era national security officials closed-door testimonies before the House Intelligence Committee, in which those officials testified that they had no"empirical evidence"of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election, but continued to publicly push the "narrative" of collusion.DURHAM TESTIFIES THAT THE FBI IGNORED HILLARY CLINTON PLAN TO LINK TRUMP TO RUSSIAThe House Intelligence Committee, in 2017, conducted depositions oftop Obama intelligence officials,including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, National Security Advisor Susan Rice and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, among others.The transcripts, from 2017 and 2018, revealed top Obama officials were questioned by House Intelligence Committee lawmakers and investigators about whether they had or had seen evidence of such collusion, coordination or conspiracy the issue that drove the FBI's initial case and later the special counsel probe."I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election," Clapper testified in 2017."Thats not to say that there werent concerns about the evidence we were seeing, anecdotal evidence.... But I do not recall any instance where I had direct evidence."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt excoriated the media Wednesday for perpetuating the narrative that PresidentDonald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election."Unfortunately, so many Americans, from listening to outlets in this room, believed in these lies, and its a complete scam, and its a scandal and the president wants to see accountability for that,"Leavitt told reporters."He wants to see all those who perpetuated this fraud against our country, who betrayed our country and the Constitution, to be thoroughly investigated and held accountable, and its been 10 years of this," Leavitt said. "And I would just add, based on everything the [DNI] directorhas said and declassified, all of you in this room should go through it and take a look at this report and review the intelligence, because, unfortunately, that hasnt happened."NEW RUSSIAGATE EVIDENCE 'DIRECTLY POINT TO' OBAMA, DOJ WILL DECIDE 'CRIMINAL IMPLICATIONS': GABBARDLeavitt made the remarks in response to a question from a reporter who asked if the White House believes that the Supreme Courts immunity decision protects former President Barack Obama from prosecution.During the briefing, Leavitt was joined by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who said that her findings at the DNI suggest thattheObama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election."There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," Gabbard said. "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true it wasn't."Leavitt also criticized the outlets that were present at the briefing."Many of the people who perpetuated this hoax Clapper, Andy McCabe and James Comey and many others have been hired by major networks in this room to go on television and continue to spew these lies, knowing that they are lies," she said.LEGACY MEDIA OUTLETS LARGELY SILENT ON TULSI GABBARD'S BOMBSHELL OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CLAIMSThe press secretary also blasted the Democratic Party for their part in pursuing the Russia narrative."Just flashback to 2016 and the years after the entire Trump-one presidency was embroiled in this scandal that was perpetuated by the Democrat Party, and you had major Democratic Party officials in this city, namely Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, who went on television and told the American people, Donald Trump is an asset of Russia," she continued."It was a lie," Leavitt said. "They always knew it. So Hillary Clinton herself said that President Trump would be a puppet for Putin. Sen. Tim Kaine, at the time, called President Trump Vladimir Putins defense lawyer. Adam Schiff stated, and one of the worst things a lawmaker could do is to tell the American people, I know something you dont know, it's just classified, and I cant tell you, and thats what he said. I can tell you that the case is more than that. I cant go into the particulars, but theres more than circumstantial evidence now.""And not enough people in this room, not enough journalists in this country pushed Adam Schiff to say, What are you talking about? What evidence do you have? Everybody just ran with the lies, and it led to impeachments, and it led to the division of our country," she said. Trump on Tuesday claimed that Obama was the "ringleader" of Russiagate, calling for him to be criminally investigated amid new claims that members of his administration allegedly "manufactured" intelligence that prompted the TrumpRussia collusion narrative."Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response," Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said in a statement. "But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.""These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," Obama's spokesman continued. "Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said President Donald Trump could proceed with the firing of three Democratic members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who were fired and then reinstated to their roles on the board the latest high-stakes court clash centered on Trump's authority as authority to remove or otherwise control the fate of independent agency.The majority sided with the Trump administration in a 6-3 vote on the emergency order, the last of the Supreme Court's current term. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court in early July to stay the decision of a lower court judge in Maryland who sided with the three ousted board members, Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr. U.S. District Judge Matthew Maddox, a Biden appointee, ruled that their firings were unlawful and ordered they be reinstated to their roles.The Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals declined to grant the Trump administration's request to stay the order, clearing the way for the administration to appeal the matter to the Supreme Court.APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP FROM FIRING FEDERAL BOARD MEMBERS, TEES UP SUPREME COURT FIGHTIn its emergency filing to the Supreme Court, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer pointed to the court's decision in another, factually similar emergency case reviewed by the high court earlier this year, in which justices agreed to temporarily block the reinstatements of board members for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).Sauer pointed to the factual similarities underpinning both cases, and argued that the high court's emergency decision there "squarely controls this case."The CPSC board members disputed that notion in their own Supreme Court filing arguing that their removals from the CPSC would "disrupt the status quo" from an agency dedicated to consumer protection and safety.They also pointed to the timing of their removals, noting that the Trump administration made no attempt to oust them for four months a delay they argue shows no urgency and undercuts any claim of "irreparable harm," a key standard for emergency court action.BIDEN-APPOINTED JUDGE THWARTS TRUMP'S ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOUSE AT CONSUMER SAFETY AGENCYAfter the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit rejected the governments request to temporarily freeze Maddoxs order, the government appealed it to the Supreme Court.In his ruling, Maddox said that the tenured design and protection of the five-member, staggered-term CPSC board does "not interfere with" Trumps executive branch powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.The case is the latest in a string of challenges centered on Trump's ability to remove members of independent boards. Like the NLRB and MSPB rulings, it centers on the 90-year-old Supreme Court decision known asHumphreys Executor, in which the court unanimously ruled that presidents cannot fire independent board members without cause.Maddox invoked the uncertainty created by the preliminary posture of the NLRB and MSPB cases, which saw both plaintiffs removed and reinstated to their positions multiple times which he said was the basis for ordering more permanent injunctive relief."Disruption might have resulted in the instant case if Plaintiffs had been reinstated while this case was in its preliminary posture, only to have the Court later deny relief in its final judgment and subject Plaintiffs to removal again," said Maddox. "The risk of such disruption is no longer a factor now that the Court is granting permanent injunctive relief as a final judgment."In his ruling, Maddox said that the tenured design and protection of the five-member, staggered-term CPSC board does "not interfere with" Trumps executive branch powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

A U.S. defense official refuted media reports in Iran regarding an interaction between a U.S. warship and an Iranian helicopter. While Iranian media claimed the warship acted in an aggressive manner, the American official insisted the incident was "safe and professional."The USS Fitzgerald was in international waters off the Gulf of Oman when it encountered an Iranian SH-3 "Sea King" helicopter at around 10:50 a.m. Wednesday.Iranian state media reported that the helicopter instructed the U.S. guided-missile destroyer to change course.BOAT CAPTAIN ARRESTED AFTER HIT-AND-RUN CRASH INTO USS MIDWAY MUSEUM SHIP: POLICE"This interaction had no impact to USS Fitzgerald's mission and any reports claiming otherwise are falsehoods and attempts by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to spread misinformation," the defense official said in a statement."U.S. Central Command will continue to operate safely and professionally in accordance with internationally recognized norms and customs," the official added.Iran's state-controlled media said the warship attempted to approach Iranian-controlled waters in a provocative move.USS NIMITZ CARRIER STRIKE GROUP SAILING TOWARD MIDDLE EAST AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, US OFFICIAL SAYSThe helicopter quickly flew over the destroyer and issued a stern warning to leave the area, the report states. In response, the U.S. destroyer reportedly threatened the Iranian helicopter, but the pilot continued the mission and issued another warning, the report states.Following the renewed U.S. threat, the Iranian army's defense system took action and announced that the helicopter was under full defense cover and the destroyer had to change its course, it said. The warship then left the area, the report said.The incident came amid heightened tension between the U.S. and Iran and weeks after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The family of a man who died in a freak MRI-related accident in New York last week appears poised to file a lawsuit over the incident.Keith McAllister, 61, suffered three heart attacks after being pulled into the magnetic force of an MRI at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury last week, and died. He was wearing a 20-pound chain at the time of the incident.Now, his family has hired an attorney to "ensure accountability" stemming from the incident, according to the New York Post.FAMILY REVEALS SHOCKING DETAILS OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN FATAL LONG ISLAND MRI ACCIDENTThe family has reportedly retained attorney Michael Lauterborn of Smith, Cheung and Lauterborn, PC."This heartbreaking incident highlights the critical importance of safety protocols in medical imaging facilities," Lauterborn reportedly said. "The family and our legal team are dedicated to assisting the appropriate authorities in their investigation and in efforts to ensure accountability and prevent similar tragedies in the future."McAllister's widow, Adrienne Jones-McAllister, was undergoing a knee scan at the time of the accident.NEVER ENTER AN MRI MACHINE WITH ANY OF THESE HAZARDOUS ITEMS, EXPERTS WARNAccording to the couple's daughter, Samantha Bodden, the MRI technician allegedly left the room to track down McAllister and asked him for assistance, but did not warn him of the danger of wearing metal near the machine.After initial reports that McAllister entered the room on his own and was not authorized to be there, Bodden clarified that he was in fact invited in."Several news stations are saying he wasnt authorized to be in the room when, in fact, he was because the technician went and brought him into the room," Bodden wrote.Bodden said she and Jones-McAllister attempted to free McAllister from the machine before finally calling the police for help.Fox News Digital reached out to Smith, Cheung and Lauterborn, PC and to Nassau Open MRI for comment.
