US Navy JAG investigators on Monday arrested former DOJ official Stephen Boyd on charges of treason at his lavishly opulent home in Coral Gables, Florida, alleging the Deep Stater had conspired with Democrats in a failed bid to unlawfully depose President Trump.
Boyd, 47, an attorney and a lobbyist, served as the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Affairs between September 2017 and 2021. On paper, he seemed like a solid conservative. He graduated from the University of Alabama with a Juris Doctor and then moved to D.C., where he worked for several Republican politicians. On April 25, 2017, Trump nominated Boyd for the position of assistant AG; the Senate confirmed his appointment on August 3, 2017.
While at the DOJ, he advanced the conservative agenda, winning congressional approval to classify fentanyl as a Schedule I narcotic, and ending Obama’s highly controversial “Operation Chokepoint”—a muddy initiative to discourage banks from doing business with predatory payday lenders, pornography producers, and escort services. “Chokepoint” also allowed banks to discriminate against and “debank” conservative movements that vociferously challenged Obamacare’s enshrinement.
If Boyd had sympathy for the Deep State, he hid it well—at least until 2019, when he petitioned Congress for cash to implement stricter gun control legislation. A 2019 spike in firearms sales, particularly to patriotic militias such as the Proud Boys, the One Percenters, and the Oath Keepers, caused Boyd to glitch. “ATF needs more money. More background checks. Longer waiting periods on handguns, and should be for rifles and shotguns too,” he told the House Judiciary Committee, caveating his fury with, “without violating constitutional rights.” His suggestion that the government “must create” stronger Red Flag laws raised some eyebrows. For example, he opined that a husband accused of spousal abuse, with or without evidence, should be forever forbidden from purchasing a firearm. Dubious and possibly unlawful recommendations.
Despite his shiftiness, he held his job until the stolen election, after which he resumed private practice at Horizons Global Solutions, a lobbying firm.
White Hats, a JAG source told Real Raw News, began “looking at” Boyd when his name appeared in FBI Director Kash Patel’s 2023 book “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.” Although Patel claims that Boyd is a Deep State operative, his book offers no supporting evidence. It’s unclear whether JAG at any point spoke with Patel about the allegation.
Nonetheless, our source said, JAG started probing Boyd’s background in December 2023. They obtained his financial records and discreetly interviewed his ex-coworkers at the DOJ. Purportedly, JAG agents threatened to investigate anyone refusing to cooperate with the interview process, and coaxed aid by telling them, “If Boyd’s guilty of crimes, and we find out you knew about it, we’ll charge you as an accomplice. Work with us, and you’ll get immunity.”
Three blubbering people JAG interviewed, it turned out, cracked under pressure and told investigators a tantalizing tale: While working for Boyd at the DOJ in 2019, they overheard phone calls between Boyd and House Democrats, on which Boyd supplied questionably legal recourses for ending Trump’s term prematurely. One of the three claimed to have heard Boyd advising Michael Pence–whom JAG arrested, convicted, and executed for treason in 2025— on ways to remove Trump from office, so he could ascend to the presidency. Moreover, JAG’s investigation revealed that Boyd used his influence to staff his department with “Never Trumpers.”
The trio of snitches, whose names are under seal, also gave JAG unassailable physical evidence that all but assures a military tribunal conviction, our source said.
After methodically constructing an airtight case, JAG decided the time was right to grab Boyd.
Early Monday morning, agents in black SUVs converged on Boyd’s Mediterranean-style villa in affluent Coral Gables. Disheveled and wearing black silk pajamas, a groggy Boyd immediately regretted opening his front door. When shown the arrest warrant, he said, “On whose authority? Do you know who I am? I’m a lawyer and I know the law and my rights.”
“He was cuffed and taken off the property,” our source said.
Following the arrest, JAG learned that Boyd owns more than a dozen multi-million-dollar properties in four states and is eager to uncover how he acquired the funds to buy a $5m villa with a private dock and an Olympic-size infinity pool.
