In light of today’s congressional testimony by FBI Director Comey, Citizen United is releasing over 1,300 pages of email correspondence between Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson during their tenures at the State Department. 



The American people have a right to know about the activities of high level government officials who have since been given immunity deals by the FBI.



Mills was State Department Chief of Staff and Samuelson was the White House Liaison at State who went on to serve in the White House Counsel’s office.   

 

Mills and Samuelson also sat in during Secretary Clinton’s interview with the FBI as part of her legal team.



These emails shed light on the activities of Mills and Samuelson at the State Department, which included appointments, ethics, vetting, etc. 



Most of these emails are from late 2012 to early 2013 around the Clinton-Kerry transition at State.  

 

Our legal team estimates that Citizens United will receive 650 pages of these emails per month until approximately January 2019.

LOS ANGELES (September 19, 2016) – Citizens United is proud to release the thought-provoking documentary starring "The Duck Commander" Phil Robertson in a passion project coming to select theaters on October 7th, 2016.  



Phil makes a compelling argument on the absurdity of life without God.  Featuring real-life footage from events throughout history and leading up to the modern day crisis of radical Islamic terrorism, Phil personally guides us through a journey that includes Athens, Greece; Rome, Italy, Paris, France; and even the notorious Nazi death camp of World War II, Auschwitz.  With a biblical perspective, Phil covers events ranging from the creation of the atomic bomb, the impact of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement.  He uses these events to illustrate that God is the only meaningful anchor to a civilized society and calls on all of us to consider our faith. 



Torchbearer is directed and co-written by Stephen K. Bannon.  Bannon is an award winning filmmaker with previous titles including Generation Zero; The Undefeated; Occupy Unmasked and The Hope & The Change.



Mr. Bannon is a former Naval Officer who is the Executive Chairman of Breitbart News.  He is on a temporary leave of absence as he is currently the CEO of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.



The film was produced by David N. Bossie who has served as president of Citizens United since 2001.  Bossie has produced more than two dozen documentaries.  Recent productions include:  Rocky Mountain Heist hosted by Michelle Malkin, Occupy Unmasked featuring the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart, Our Sacred Honor with Senator Rick Santorum, The Gift of Life with Governor Mike Huckabee, and the award winning films Nine Days That Changed The World and Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny hosted by Callista and Newt Gingrich.  Bossie is currently on a temporary leave of absence from Citizens United, as he is currently the Deputy Campaign Manager of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.



Torchbearer is based on a story by Zach Dasher.



The film will also have a day and date release on various digital and VOD platforms including Comcast, Dish, iTunes, Vudu, Amazon and more.

Today Citizens United is releasing 378 pages of new Clinton Foundation-State Department emails.   These emails were produced to Citizens United as a result of our FOIA requests and litigation with the State Department.



Here are the highlights:



•	In July 2012, Huma Abedin emails with Clinton Foundation employees about major donor Abigail Disney and CGI.  “The problem is she keeps emailing HRC directly.”   The text of one of the Disney emails to HRC is embedded in the email chain.  NOTE:  No HRC emails to/from Abigail Disney have been released to date.  This may be one of the 15,000 undisclosed emails.



•	An email from the Clinton Foundation shows major foundation donor Victor Pinchuk was scheduled to attend a June 2012 dinner at Hillary Clinton’s house.  A Clinton spokesman told the New York Times in 2014 that Pinchuk was never on the schedule during Sec. Clinton’s four years as Secretary of State.



•	In 2010, Clinton Foundation staff emailed Melanne Verveer at the State Department a 63-page CGI “Commitment Highlights” document.  Four days later, Sec. Clinton attends CGI.  That day’s schedule for Sec. Clinton is also included in this material.



•	Within the same September 2010 63-page CGI “Commitment Highlights” document, Uranium One, Inc. is listed as a partner for a $300,000,000 Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative project.



•	Melanne Verveer discusses Norway “$$” CGI pledge on her State Department email leading up to the September 2012 CGI meeting.

Citizens United Political Victory Fund (CUPVF), the affiliated PAC of Citizens United, issued the following statement endorsing longtime conservative leader Kay Daly in North Carolina’s 13th congressional district primary election.  CUPVF has also contributed $2,000 to Daly’s primary campaign effort.

 

“Citizens United Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Kay Daly for Congress because she is a courageous conservative change agent, plain and simple.  When there are principled arguments to make and tough votes to take in Congress, I know Kay will stand tall every step of the way for meaningful conservative reform,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.

 

“On First Amendment rights, I know I can trust Kay Daly.  On 2nd Amendment rights, I know I can trust Kay Daly.  If you believe - as I do - that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are under daily assault by liberals and must be steadfastly defended, Kay Daly is your candidate,” Bossie continued.

 

“I’ve known Kay Daly for 20 years and I know her as a determined leader who cares deeply for our country.  I urge all voters in North Carolina’s 13th congressional district to cast their ballot for conservative candidate Kay Daly on June 7th,” Bossie concluded.

Today’s historic results in Iowa is the first look at the growing excitement coming from within the conservative movement that will help elect a Republican president dedicated to reforming the failed status quo in Washington, D.C.  Both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump championed pro-American, anti-establishment policies in Iowa, sending a clear message to conservatives across the country.  We need conservative leaders who are true Washington outsiders to repeal and replace Obamacare, stop illegal immigration, fix our economy, and destroy Islamic terrorism.

Citizens United’s Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits have produced federal records that show how closely Hillary Clinton’s State Department worked with the Clinton Foundation.  This relationship made it easy for conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts to flourish.  How often did the interests of the U.S. government and the interests of the Clinton Foundation deviate and did this influence Secretary Clinton’s decisions?   For this reason, if Hillary Clinton is elected President, will Bill Clinton take a leave of absence from the Clinton Foundation and will the Hillary Clinton White House wall itself off from the Clinton Foundation so that future potential conflicts of interest can’t flourish?

In the past week, we’ve learned two critical facts in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.  First and foremost, an email has surfaced in which Hillary Clinton seemingly instructs a member of her senior staff to break the law.  Secondly, we now know the FBI has expanded its investigation of Hillary Clinton to include a public corruption aspect having to do with how her State Department interfaced with her family foundation. 
 

 
This has led to speculation that the FBI will almost certainly recommend criminal charges to Attorney General Loretta Lynch.  Loretta Lynch should do herself a favor and take this all-important decision out of the hands of Democrat political appointees at the Justice Department and admit what everyone already knows - that she has a clear conflict of interest in this case.  By appointing an impartial special counsel, Loretta Lynch would be putting the justice system and the rule of law above politics.
 

 
Citizens United first called for a special counsel on July 29, 2015.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Citizens United President David N. Bossie issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s executive action targeting gun ownership in America:

“President Obama’s unilateral decision to restrict gun ownership is an assault on American’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and the latest dangerous example of this president behaving like a monarch.

Obama’s decision to target law abiding citizens seeking to protect themselves and their families instead of Islamic terrorists is outrageous.  The legislative and judicial branches of government must reject any infringement of our Second Amendment rights that are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.”

"Thanksgiving and Christmas are rapidly approaching and Citizens United is continuing to do something near and dear to our hearts: supporting members of our Armed Forces and military families however we can,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United.
 
For eight years now, we have sent holidays meals to troops and military families in need for our annual Turkeys for our Troops project.

On account of budget cuts and a sagging economy, times are especially tough for many of our men and women in uniform and their families. 

Every year we send more the 500 Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners out to our military families. This year we are aiming for more. This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for sacrificing everything for our freedom.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and God bless America and our troops from your friends at Citizens United!”
