Rep. Andrew Clyde's (R-GA) rebuke of Democratic Del. Stacey Plakett (USVI) for calling President Donald Trump a felon earned groans both online and on the House floor.

Plaskett was censured by the House on Tuesday over revelations she inappropriately coordinated and communicated with Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing in 2019. The Washington Post reported on newly released documents showing Plaskett exchanged texts with the sex offender while she participated in a House Oversight grilling of Michael Cohen, former attorney and "fixer" for Trump. The censure resolution said she incorporated Epstein’s suggestions into her line of questioning, and reflecting poorly on the House.

CNN host Jake Tapper slammed President Donald Trump on Monday for his comments about a slain journalist while hosting a foreign leader whom American intelligence agencies concluded ordered the journalist's killing.

Trump hosted Saudi Arabian Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud at the White House on Monday. During a press conference, a reporter asked MBS about the murder of former Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Khashoggi was assassinated and his body was dismembered in October 2018 in Turkey by a Saudi hit squad that American intelligence agencies say conducted the operation with MBS's approval.

One analyst was stunned by President Donald Trump's comments about a slain journalist during a press conference on Monday with Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia.

MBS was asked about the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi during the press conference. Trump jumped in to answer the question and said Khashoggi was a "controversial figure" and that "a lot of people didn't like him." Khashoggi was a prominent critic of the Crown Prince, and America's intelligence community concluded that MBS likely ordered Khashoggi's killing in 2018.

A pardoned Jan. 6 rioter led an anti-Muslim protest in Dearborn, Michigan, that had been planned and then denounced by Republican gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson.

On Tuesday, Hudson told the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) that he had abandoned the anti-Muslim protest after visiting area mosques.

President Donald Trump launched a nearly three-minute tirade against an ABC News reporter on Tuesday after being asked a question about Jeffrey Epstein.

Sitting alongside Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office, Trump was asked why he didn’t direct his Justice Department to release all the files it holds on Epstein, rather than force lawmakers to pass legislation forcing their release, as they were poised to vote on Tuesday.

The House was convening Tuesday to consider a landmark vote on a bill that could compel the Justice Department to release all of its files on Jeffrey Epstein, a bill that President Donald Trump had fought fiercely against but reversed course on Sunday after calling on Republicans to support it.

The vote comes after a months-long effort from Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) to collect 218 signatures on what’s known as a discharge petition, a tool to circumvent House leadership and force a vote on a particular measure on the House floor. That measure is a bill that, if signed into law by Trump, would force the DOJ to release every file it has on Epstein, of which tens of thousands – if not more – are believed to exist.

During a joint press availability with Mohammed bin Salman, Donald Trump smeared the murdered Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi when a reporter attempted to grill the Saudi prince.

Trump snapped at ABC reporter Mary K. Bruce after she asked the prince about the assassination of the journalist on the leader's watch, as well as how he thinks 9/11 families are accepting his visit to the Oval Office.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter who asked about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi during an Oval Office meeting with the man accused of ordering his killing, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

"Mr. President, is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you are president, is that a conflict of interest?" a reporter from ABC News asked during the Oval Office meeting on Tuesday. "And, your royal highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office."

Following a press conference conducted by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) where he attempted to sow doubt about the Jeffrey Epstein files bill to be voted on Tuesday, GOP strategist Susan Del Percio asked for time to call out the Republican leader.

At the conclusion of her appearance with MS NOW host Ann Cabrera, Del Percio interrupted and remarked, “Just one thing I want to add was you carried Speaker Johnson's comments in the last hour, and at the end he said something that was so incredibly tone-deaf. And I think this is something that's going to dog Republicans and the president because he said something similar.”

At the conclusion of a press conference with survivors of convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) put Donald Trump on notice that his followers in the MAGA movement will keep an eye on his actions after a bipartisan bill on the Epstein files passes.

Appearing with survivors and House colleagues, Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), Taylor Greene was asked if she had confidence the Department of Justice would actually release the files and that Trump would sign off on the move.
