The Daily Herold: 7/1/26 - Election Declass Task Force, Trump in the Badlands & Israel's Exit

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with guests in the house, Trump landing in his hometown of Bismarck on the new Air Force One's first flight, and a source update that is carefully honest about what it does and does not say. A White House task force led by John Solomon and Derek Harvey is quietly gathering thousands of pages of 2020 election intelligence from the CIA, NSA, ODNI, FBI, and DOJ for declassification, and Jon flags it as a fourth separate track alongside the RICO case, the DNI report, and the PIAB review. His source says the evidence coming will be narrow in focus but strong enough that skeptics will have a hard time explaining it away. Jon immediately wonders whether releasing evidence instead of charging people means none of it is being used in a prosecution. Trump is in Medora for the Theodore Roosevelt Library opening and Jon is hoping for at minimum one Badlands shoutout and ideally the word boop. Netanyahu announced Israel wants to begin phasing out American financial aid this year, and Jon asks the obvious follow-up: does that mean the AIPAC money to American politicians dries up too? The OPM "something big is coming" post turned out to be digital retirement applications, and Jon is still keeping his promise to comment less on decoder behavior. Mostly.
