In a significant development reported between 12:30:35 AM and 12:45:23 AM UTC on September 10th, 2025, the lawyer for Senator Adam Schiff, Preet Bharara, has formally accused William Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), of corruptly and unlawfully weaponizing the bureaucracy against Senator Schiff. The accusation, detailed in a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ), also includes exculpatory evidence for Schiff. The letter from Bharara, as shared by Greg Sargent on X, alleges that Pulte specifically targeted Schiff. This development comes amidst other reports from the same period, including protests occurring outside a restaurant where President Donald Trump was dining. Witnesses reported protesters chanting at Trump, as captured by Acyn on X. Meanwhile, the wife and daughter of the late Congressman Gerry Connolly, including Walkinshaw, also addressed supporters during this period, according to CFloresNews on X. The timing of these events suggests a busy night of political and public activity in Washington. Previous reports from earlier on September 10th, 2025, indicated President Trump had expressed dissatisfaction with a recent Israeli strike in Qatar, stating he was not notified in advance. He also commented on an "Epstein birthday letter," denying it was his signature or in his style, while dining at Joe's Seafood in Washington D.C. The area around the restaurant had Secret Service security measures in place.
