Hunt for Brian Laundrie: Federal arrest warrant issued
The FBI on Thursday said the U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for Brian Laundrie, a person of interest in the disappearance and homicide of deceased Gabby Petito.
The warrant is “pursuant to a Federal Grand Jury indictment for violation of federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a)(i): ‘Use of Unauthorized Devices’ related to Mr. Laundrie’s activities following the death of Gabrielle Petito.”
“While this warrant allows law enforcement to arrest Mr. Laundrie, the FBI and our partners across the country continue to investigate the facts and circumstances of Ms. Petito’s homicide,” FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider said in a Thursday statement. “We urge individuals with knowledge of Mr. Laundrie’s role in this matter or his current whereabouts to contact the FBI.”
Laundrie’s attorney Steve Bertolino said it was his understanding “that the arrest warrant for Brian Laundrie is related to activities occurring after the death of Gabby Petito and not related to her actual demise.”
The warrant alleges Laundrie committed debit card fraud between Aug. 30 and Sept. 1. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.

Hunter Biden’s $2M Libya bombshell more proof ‘media lied to the public’: Glenn Greenwald
The release of the new bombshell report from Business Insider – that first son Hunter Biden sought an annual $2 million retainer to aid in the recovery of Libyan assets frozen by President Barack Obama while his father Joe Biden was vice president – proves the media has lied to the American public about the Biden family business storyline, according to investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald.
Greenwald, who helped break the Edward Snowden-NSA story and now writes on Substack, told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that this report on Hunter’s nefarious alleged business dealings adds to “overwhelming evidence” that the emails found on the 51-year-old Biden’s laptop are authentic.
SOME PARTING WORDS
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham told Martha MacCallum on “The Story” on Thursday night that the “most inhumane thing going on right now in America is the men and women of the Border Patrol have been completely abandoned.”
“Here’s what I want to say to the American people,” Graham said. “The man on horseback is there to protect your family. The people rushing our border have put us all under siege. And I think the most inhumane thing going on right now in America is the men and women of the Border Patrol have been completely abandoned, demagogued, scapegoated and treated like dirt by elected officials and the Democratic Party and this administration. …
“Secretary Mayorkas needs to resign. He’s completely incompetent. The border is not closed. It’s been surrendered.”
