THE LEAD STORY – CLINTON EMAILS FACE SCRUTINY: FBI Director Christopher
Wray and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz are
expected to testify Monday before the Senate Judiciary Committee on
Horowitz's bombshell report on the FBI's investigation of Hillary
Clinton's personal email server ... Horowitz's report, released Thursday, singled out former FBI Director James Comey for harsh criticism and
referred five other bureau employees for potential disciplinary action.

Most notably, Horowitz found that anti-Trump text messages between FBI
agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page "potentially indicated or
created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias
or improper considerations." However, the report also noted the FBI's
decision not to prosecute Clinton in July 2016 was not motivated by
political bias against then-candidate Donald Trump.

TRUMP FUMES OVER FBI’S 'SICK LOSER’: President Trump took to Twitter on
Sunday night to blast the FBI agent who was removed from Special Counsel
Robert Mueller’s team after sending anti-Trump text messages to his
mistress, calling his actions “Witch Hunt!” and “a really sick deal" ...
Trump tweeted: “Why was the FBI’s sick loser, Peter Strzok, working on the totally discredited Mueller team of 13 Angry & Conflicted Democrats, when Strzok was giving Crooked Hillary a free pass yet telling his lover,
lawyer Lisa Page, that ‘we’ll stop’ Trump from becoming President?” The president added, “Also remember that they all worked for Slippery James
Comey and that Comey is best friends with Robert Mueller. A really sick
deal, isn't it?”

Trump's tweets came after Strzok, through his lawyer, announced Sunday
he's willing to testify before the House Judiciary Committee or any other congressional panel that invites him.

MEDIA’S ‘MISREPORTING’ BLASTED: The head of the Department of Homeland
Security bashed the media Sunday for their “misreporting” on the
increasingly volatile immigration controversy, writing in a string of
tweets: “We do not have a policy of separating families at the border.
Period." ... Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen added: “This misreporting by
Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum
for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.” She noted that no one is “breaking the law by
seeking asylum at a port of entry.” The Trump administration, which has
called it “horrible” that illegal-immigrant children are sometimes
separated from their parents when their parents enter criminal
proceedings, has been criticized in recent weeks for increasing the prosecutions of illegal immigrants under a “zero-tolerance” policy that
critics say leads to those separations.

Nielsen's outburst came after New Jersey Democrats gained entry Sunday to
an immigration detention center in their state after "arguing" with police
and "literally banging on the door," one lawmaker posted on Twitter. The Father's Day spectacle was the latest in a series of similar trips by Democratic lawmakers to immigration detention centers, which are part of a broader effort to draw attention to the family members who have been
separated by federal authorities while illegally crossing the border from Mexico into the United States.

'F--- YOU, MELANIE': Liberal comedian Kathy Griffin, who famously posed
with a fake severed head of President Trump, took a vicious new swing at Melania Trump over immigration policies ... The first lady had weighed in earlier Sunday. “Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their
families & hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to
achieve successful immigration reform. She believes we need to be a
country that follows all laws but also a country that governs w/heart,”
her office told Fox News. Griffin then tweeted: “F--- you, Melanie. You
know damn well your husband can end this immediately...you feckless
complicit piece of s---.”

Alluding to a May tweet from Trump in which he misspelled his wife’s name
-- as well as Samantha Bee’s vulgar slam of Ivanka Trump in May -- Griffin
was referring to news of family members who have been separated by federal authorities while illegally crossing the border from Mexico into the
United States.
