(DCNF)—Retired NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro appeared on Fox Business Friday and predicted that the Trump administration will uncover unsettling truths about the FBI.
Trump on Thursday ordered the preservation of all relevant records for a potential corruption investigation. This, as he raised questions about the motivations and implications of the FBI’s actions after the agency suddenly discontinued its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. As the investigation into the FBI and its DEI shutdown begins, Mauro said that this could be just the start of a larger drama.
Federal law enforcement agencies and some of the local agencies, Mauro said, have decided that law enforcement is not their first priority.
“[But] social engineering is,” Mauro said.
“This is stuff that comes from the top when we had a rudderless executive, and very clearly it ends but I think this drama is just beginning, because I’m sure the Trump Administration has a good idea of what they see when they start turning the rocks over and it’s not going to be pretty.”
Mauro shed light on the situation and explained the significance of the preservation order.
“This is really developing into something that we didn’t see coming. The Trump administration has signaled that they were not going to be looking to engage in any lawfare or these sort of backwards-looking investigations,” Mauro said. “But this looks like they’re quite serious about it. When you put them on notice that they better not destroy any records, you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to see some sort of an initiation of a probe here.”
The closure of the FBI‘s DEI unit occurred just days before Trump’s inauguration, which prompted accusations of lawfare. However, Mauro said that the probe is likely justified given the FBI’s recent track record.
“I’m not saying that it’s not justified, just to be clear. What I meant by that is the fact that they’re going to initiate a probe. I think it is almost certainly justified in light of the fact that if you look at the FBI’s history here over the last four years, we’ve had things like the arrival of Tren de Aragua,” Mauro said, referring to the Venezuelan-based criminal organization. “We haven’t had one federal case relative to that agency, that group that I’ve seen. You could have had conspiracy cases of all sorts there. They turned a blind eye to that. At the same time, you had Jewish students on campus who couldn’t even get to class.”
The FBI confirmed on Thursday the closure of its DEI office.
“In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,” an FBI spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Hill.
This decision comes amid escalating criticism of DEI initiatives, particularly in the wake of a terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. The incident resulted in the deaths of at least 15 individuals and injuries to dozens more, authorities reported.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
