Emerald Robinson, once a White House correspondent for Newsmax, has resurfaced with a new and unverified target, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. In a report published in late September on her LindellTV show “The Absolute Truth” and her site Emerald.TV, Robinson claimed that unnamed “high level DOJ sources” told her Blanche is “sabotaging Trump’s war against the deep state.”
Her story featured Trump attorney Peter Ticktin, who accused Blanche of blocking pardons, silencing whistleblowers and stalling justice for Jan. 6 defendants. No evidence accompanied the allegations, and neither Blanche nor the Justice Department has responded.
The claim ricocheted through the usual corners of the far right internet. Infowars and its host, Alex Jones, pushed it as a “breaking exclusive.” Former Overstock CEO and election conspiracy booster Patrick Byrne repeated it on LindellTV under the headline “Why Is Todd Blanche Running DOJ?” On X, formerly known as Twitter, pro Trump accounts echoed the idea that Blanche was “blocking Trump’s agenda.” Clips from Robinson’s broadcast spread across Instagram and TikTok, bouncing through the same channels that once circulated false stories about vaccines and stolen ballots.
For Robinson, it was another step back into familiar territory. She was fired from Newsmax in 2022 after claiming COVID 19 vaccines contained “LUCIFERASE,” which she linked to the biblical “Mark of the Beast.” Twitter later banned her permanently for spreading COVID 19 misinformation. Since joining Mike Lindell’s network, she has continued to promote conspiracies involving Bill Gates, Dominion Voting Systems and alleged election tampering.
Her social media presence has been equally combative. She called Rep. Ilhan Omar an “al Qaeda supporting Somali gangster,” wrote that Never Trump conservatives were “Jewish and agnostic,” and declared that she wanted “a Christian society” rather than a multicultural one.
Her latest report fits neatly into a narrative popular in MAGA media circles, that Trump’s own administration is being undermined from within. Like most of her previous work, it relies on anonymous sources and ideological spin instead of verifiable facts.
