White House Takes Action
1. Report: Trump Legal Team to File Complaint Over Comey Memos - Newsmax
U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer plans to file a complaint early next week about former FBI Director James Comey's disclosure of conversations with the president, a person close to the legal team said on Friday.
Lawyer Marc Kasowitz will file the complaint with the Justice Department's inspector general and will also make a "submission" to the Senate Judiciary and Senate Intelligence committees about Comey's testimony, said the source, who declined to be identified because the matter was not public.
Comey, in U.S. Senate intelligence committee testimony on Thursday, accused Trump of firing him to try to undermine the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign. (Read more)
2. Trump accuses Comey of lying under oath - WND
Says he is "100% Ready" to Testify Under Oath
At a White House press conference this afternoon, Trump, in so many words, accused Comey of lying under oath when he testified before the Senate Intelligence committee on Thursday.
Trump said two key points in Comey's testimony were not true:
- That the president had asked the former FBI director to drop the investigation into former National Security adviser Michael Flynn,
- And that the president had asked Comey to swear his loyalty to him.
Asked if he would give his version of events under oath, the president replied, "One-hundred percent." (Read more)
3. Comey testimony: Trump responds, claims 'total and complete vindication'- Fox News
President Trump finally broke his silence Friday morning about James Comey's congressional testimony a day earlier, tweeting that he felt vindicated and emphasizing the former FBI director's admission that he leaked details of confidential conversations with the president to the press.
"Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication . . . and WOW, Comey is a leaker!" Trump tweeted.
Comey, who was fired by Trump on May 9, revealed during his testimony that he had a friend, later identified as Columbia University Law Professor Dan Richman, leak contents of his private memos to the media in hopes of prompting the "appointment of a special counsel."
Kasowitz was set to file a complaint with the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General and send a letter of complaint to the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Comey's testimony that he orchestrated the leak of the alleged contents of his one-on-one talks with Trump, a source close to the president's legal team told Fox News.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions to face questions on Comey, Russia
at Senate hearing
Didn't get enough of James Comey and the Russia investigation at Thursday's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing? Don't fret. There's more coming next week.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions will face questions Tuesday about his role in Comey's firing when he appears before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science.
The hearing is supposed to focus on the 2017 budget request for the Department of Justice. But Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the overall Appropriations Committee and a member of the Judiciary Committee, said Thursday he will press Sessions about his role in President Trump's May decision to fire Comey as FBI director.
Trump originally said he fired Comey on Sessions' recommendation. The president later said he made that decision on his own.
Sessions' role in Comey's firing has raised questions because the attorney general recused himself about two months before Comey's firing from any investigations of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
"I am . . . deeply concerned about the Attorney General's role in firing Director Comey in light of his recusal from the Russia investigation," Leahy said in a statement. "Former Director Comey testified (Thursday) that he expected the Attorney General to recuse himself from the Russia investigation weeks before the Attorney General made that decision himself, because of matters that could not be discussed publicly. This raises even more questions about the Attorney General's actions."
Leahy said he also has been wanting to confront Sessions for months about his "false testimony" to the Judiciary Committee regarding his contacts with Russian officials. (USA Today) Read more.
Prayer:
- Father God, we thank You that You have given us Jeff Sessions to serve as our Attorney General -- a man of great integrity and sterling character, to head our judicial system in America. We thank You that no weapon that is formed against him will prosper, in Your name, amen.
- ""No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their vindication is from Me," declares the Lord."
(Isaiah 54:17)

URGENT ALERT FOR PRAYER!!
|

|

Americans marked for 'death' in 28 U.S. cities
Saints of the Most High God --
Please note the urgent alert below, then join us in praying NOW for these brave saints who will be marching today in 28 cities across America, that they be kept SAFE under the wing of our Lord. Amen!
Speakers at the anti-Sharia rallies set for Saturday are receiving death threats and an American patriotic group has responded by agreeing to provide private security for the event.
ACT! For America is sponsoring the anti-Sharia, pro-freedom rallies in 28 cities in 19 states Saturday beginning at around 10 a.m. in most venues and continuing until about 2 p.m.
At least two of the featured speakers, including Lauren Morris in Austin, Texas, and Delicia Dawn in Dallas, have received death threats, WND has learned, and Oath Keepers has asked its volunteers to come armed to the rallies to protect the speakers.
Morris and Dawn are both survivors of female genital mutilation
and are scheduled to go public with their stories at the rallies in Austin and
Dallas.
Stewart Rhodes, president and founder of Oath Keepers, said both Morris and Dawn are "incredibly sympathetic examples of victims of Shariah" and that is why the pro-Shariah forces are trying to intimidate them into backing out of their speaking engagements.
"The national office of ACT for America contacted me and asked for our help, and we answered the call," Rhodes told WND. "Because of death threats against speakers, we are taking it very seriously."

"The national office of ACT for America contacted me and asked for our help, and we answered the call," Rhodes told WND. "Because of death threats against speakers, we are taking it very seriously."
Oath Keepers' members are made up of retired cops and military
veterans.
"We are concerned about the very real threat of radical Islamist terrorism at one of these events tomorrow, and we have encouraged our volunteers to be armed," Rhodes said.
Rhodes said Oath Keepers has issued a national "call to action" for patriotic Americans to attend the June 10 rallies and "help defend free speech."
"We are answering the call to defend free speech against those who would use terrorist violence or the threat of violence to shut it down," Rhodes said.

"We are answering the call to defend free speech against those who would use terrorist violence or the threat of violence to shut it down," Rhodes said.
ACT! For America president Brigitte Gabriel believes Sharia is
incompatible with Western democracy and the freedoms it affords, not only
because Sharia is often the catalyst for violent jihad, but because of the
brutal treatment of women, homosexuals and other minorities in Muslim societies
where Shariah prevails.
There is already evidence that Shariah rules are being privately enforced in some Muslim enclaves in the U.S., such as the Cedar Riverside community of Minneapolis, where police have been made aware of a team of "Sharia cops" and yet have made no arrests, as previously reported by WND. Even some Muslims have complained about the Shariah cops to Minneapolis police, to no avail. (World Net Daily) Read more here.

- Lord God Almighty, we ask that You dispatch Your warring
angels to stand with our law enforcement officials and the Oath Keepers in
these 28 cities, for the protection of all who will be marching today against
the encroachment of Shariah law in our nation, and on behalf of the defense of
our own freedoms as American citizens. We bind the spirit of violence over
these cities, and we loose Your peace, in Your name, amen.
- "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them
also that hate him flee before him." (Psalm 68:1)
