Following Trump's Truth Social rant against me and the Fox and Friends employee who booked a Trump-hating loser/jerk, I was tipped off that the Federal Housing Finance Agency had requested a copy of the segment. Since Fox has not booked me since, I assumed FHFA reached out to Fox on behalf of the Trump administration to make sure Fox never booked me again. If I'm correct, this would amount to censorship and suppression of my right to free speech, especially my right to speak critically of Trump. My request was very simple and straightforward. I asked for emails between specific FHFA agents that related to my appearance on Fox and Friends. Yet below is the government's reply. I wonder if the FHFA will ultimately force me to file a lawsuit to get them to obey the law, just like the IRS. Despite my winning that lawsuit against the IRS, the agency has refused to comply with the federal judge's order to produce the withheld records and to perform the requested searches.
