More than three years after an FBI raid disrupted his home and newsroom, James O’Keefe has finally received his confiscated property: two iPhones.
The devices arrived with a receipt for property from the United States Department of Justice. The form was signed by Special Agent Anthony Kosola, the very agent who was present in O’Keefe’s apartment during the November 2021 raid.
Inside the package was a breakdown of the items seized: an iPhone 12 Pro Max and an iPhone A1921. The phones, returned without warning, still held a charge. “The last text messages on one of the phones were from November 6th, 2021,” said O’Keefe, “the day after the raid.” He also noted one message to Fox News host Jesse Watters and a screenshot sent to his lawyer regarding a meeting the morning after the incident.
Curiously, the other iPhone only contained messages up until July 24th, 2021, months before the raid itself, raising questions about what may have happened to the data during the government’s custody.
O’Keefe called the raid “unconstitutional” and announced a forthcoming lawsuit against the Department of Justice. He pointed to the delay in the return of his property as a symbol of bureaucratic abuse and the erosion of protections for journalists.
“If it takes them this long to return your property to a newsroom,” he said in the video, “good luck getting the Epstein list.”
Tom Ellsworth and Patrick Bet-David reference OMG’s undercover footage of Pam Bondi, secretly recorded in a D.C. restaurant by an anonymous source, discussing “tens of thousands” of Epstein-related videos “all with little kids.” Bondi doubled down on her claims from the White House lawn, only to walk them back just days later... What changed?
No curiosity. No accountability.
“They don’t care about you… they want power.”
That should concern everyone.
Within minutes of reaching the U.S. border from South America, Anthony Rubin and his brother were surrounded by armed men, blindfolded, and taken deep into cartel territory.
“They tied us up… they just kept saying, ‘We’re going to see El Jefe,’” said Rubin.
They were interrogated, searched for wires, and forced to hand over all their electronics, except one hidden GoPro that miraculously survived.
The cartel smashed the equipment, destroyed footage, and said: “That’s the cost of your life.” Anthony and his brother walked away alive with a story few journalists live to tell.

According to an HHS spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use… HHS remains committed to full transparency and evidence-based oversight — putting the safety of the American people first.”
The company has still not responded to OMG's request for comment.
