The Trump Justice Department is reportedly reopening and expanding its investigation into the origins of the Russia collusion narrative, focusing on evidence that implicates key intelligence and political figures in what Steve Bannon calls "one grand conspiracy.” As President Trump leads a second-term crackdown on institutional corruption, the America First movement sees this effort as a long-awaited reckoning with the Deep State forces that sought to destroy his presidency.
1. The Investigation that Never Died
On Monday’s War Room, Bannon and investigative journalist John Solomon revealed that the FBI, now under new leadership loyal to constitutional accountability, is actively pursuing evidence that the Russia hoax was not merely a political dirty trick—but a premeditated intelligence operation carried out against a sitting presidential campaign.
"This is still one of the biggest untold stories in America,” Bannon declared. "We now have a sitting President—Donald J. Trump—who is unleashing the truth.”
Solomon noted that two key pieces of classified intelligence have resurfaced. One of them, known as the "Clinton Plan Intelligence,” was reportedly an intercepted document showing that Hillary Clinton intended to falsely link Trump to Russia to distract from her own email scandal. "This is an intercept dated five days before Crossfire Hurricane was launched,” Solomon said. "The CIA, the FBI, and President Obama were all briefed on this. They knew it was a political operation.”
2. Cover-up Worse Than the Crime
What makes the story explosive in 2025 isn’t just what happened in 2016—it’s the cover-up that followed. According to Solomon, much of this material was deliberately withheld from Congress and the public.
"This stuff should have come out years ago,” he said. "Instead, it was buried. It was hidden from oversight. Hidden from the judiciary. Hidden even from grand juries.”
Bannon called that suppression "just as much a part of the conspiracy” as the original hoax. He emphasized that the focus now is not just on retribution, but on full exposure. "If these two pieces of classified evidence get declassified, so grand jurors can see it… we could be rolling by the end of this week.”
3. Why It Still Matters — A Movement for Justice
For the America First movement, this investigation is about more than relitigating the past. It’s about restoring the rule of law in a country where intelligence agencies, political elites, and legacy media coordinated to sabotage the will of the voters.
Solomon described it as "a multi-agency operation to destroy Donald Trump before and during his presidency, and to poison public opinion through disinformation.”
Bannon echoed the sentiment: "We now know that from the Russia hoax, to the first impeachment, to January 6, it’s all part of the same information warfare campaign. This is the Deep State. This is their playbook.”
For years, America First supporters have called for accountability—and now, with Trump back in office and holding the reins of DOJ, the movement sees a real opportunity to deliver it.
4. The Road Ahead
The timing is critical. As Trump eyes deeper reforms in his second term, rooting out corruption within the intelligence community remains central. If the DOJ can bring criminal charges backed by declassified intelligence, it will be a foundational moment for the movement.
"We’ve waited nearly a decade for this,” Bannon said. "They called us conspiracy theorists. Now the conspiracy is unraveling.”
Assessment:
This investigation is more than a political story—it’s a cultural turning point. It affirms the America First belief that the system was rigged from the inside, and that justice delayed must not be justice denied. With President Trump now directing the executive branch, this is the best—and possibly last—chance to fully expose the Deep State’s war against American democracy.
