Former Biden State Dept. Staffer Pleads Guilty In Fraud Scheme-lllllllllll
A former State Department budget analyst who served under the Biden administration has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $650,000 from the agency over two years, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., announced.
Levita Almuete Ferrer, 64, admitted to misusing her signature authority over a State Department checking account between March 2022 and April 2024. Ferrer, a Maryland resident, held the position of senior budget analyst in the department’s Office of the Chief of Protocol.
Ferrer was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 12 months and one day in prison for embezzling more than $650,000 from the U.S. State Department over two years, using the funds to fuel her gambling addiction.
As part of her plea agreement, Ferrer has agreed to repay the full amount stolen in restitution to the U.S. government and is also subject to a forfeiture money judgment for the same amount.
Prosecutors said Ferrer wrote 60 checks to herself and three to an individual with whom she had a personal relationship. She printed and signed each of the 63 checks before depositing them into her personal bank accounts, the outlet noted further. The checks totaled $657,347.50, according to prosecutors.
Ferrer, who also goes by Levita Brezovic, attempted to conceal the embezzlement by using a QuickBooks account. Prosecutors said she entered her name as the payee in QuickBooks, then printed the checks before depositing them.
Ferrer frequently altered the payee information in QuickBooks after printing the checks, changing it from her own name to that of a legitimate State Department vendor. This tactic made it difficult for anyone reviewing the system to identify her as the actual recipient.
The Trump administration has been busy this week.
A suspect accused of attacking the office of U.S. Attorney Alina Habba in Newark, New Jersey, was taken into custody, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced.
The FBI identified the suspect as Keith Michael Lisa, 51, a California native with ties to New York City and Mahwah, New Jersey. Federal agents said Lisa was arrested less than 48 hours after being charged with entering a federal building while carrying a dangerous weapon and damaging government property.
“Thanks to the great work of the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and Homeland Security Investigations, the suspect wanted in the attack on U.S. Attorney Habba’s office is now in custody,” Bondi said on X. “No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great U.S. Attorneys or destroying their offices.”
The FBI said Lisa entered the Peter W. Rodino Federal Building in Newark on November 12 with a baseball bat. “After being denied entry, he discarded the bat and returned,” the bureau said in a statement. “Once inside, he proceeded to the U.S. Attorney’s Office where he damaged government property.”
A federal warrant was issued Thursday for Lisa’s arrest in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on two charges — possession of a dangerous weapon in a federal facility and depredation of federal property.
Bondi confirmed on Thursday that an individual had “attempted to confront” Habba in her office and “destroyed property” before fleeing. Habba was not injured.
In a statement following Lisa’s arrest, Habba thanked law enforcement and vowed not to be intimidated. “We got him,” she wrote on X. “This Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi and our federal partners will not tolerate any acts of intimidation or violence toward law enforcement. Now justice will handle him.”
Habba also said earlier in the week, “I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job.”
FBI Director Kash Patel praised the swift coordination among agencies. “Today’s arrest shows what coordinated federal law enforcement can do,” Patel said. “Threats against our U.S. Attorneys aren’t just attacks on individuals, they’re attacks on the rule of law. And we will respond every time.”
Authorities described Lisa as about 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing between 200 and 230 pounds. He was listed as having prior connections to both New York City and Mahwah, N.J., and was considered dangerous before his arrest.
The attack marked a rare direct assault on a federal prosecutor’s office. Officials said the suspect caused “visible damage” to property inside Habba’s suite before security intervened. The FBI has not disclosed a motive for the incident.
Bondi said in her initial remarks Thursday that the case reflects a troubling rise in politically motivated threats against federal officials.
“Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period,” she said. “This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”
Habba, who was sworn in as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey in March, oversees federal prosecutions and civil litigation in the state, including offices in Newark, Camden, and Trenton.
She previously served as a legal adviser to President Donald Trump and was appointed by Attorney General Bondi earlier this year.
The Justice Department said Habba supervises approximately 155 federal prosecutors and 130 staff members across the district.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
