Tina Peters, a former Mesa County clerk in Colorado, will not be transferred to a federal prison where President Donald Trump could potentially pardon her after DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin said he put pressure on the state to turn over the notorious election denier.

"Requests to transfer inmates from the Colorado Department of Corrections emanate from the state, and not from other entities. The Department is not currently seeking any transfer," Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Alondra Gonzalez told 9News.

In yet another sign that Donald Trump is losing control over his caucus, the White House had to pull the plug this week on a major announcement of the president’s health care proposals because a handful of House Republicans drew a line in the sand and let him know it was a non-starter with them.

According to leaks about Trump’s plan, he was willing to extend a substantial amount of the Affordable Care Act provisions with some changes to eligibility requirements and premium increases.

A former Pentagon spokeswoman knocked down a defense of President Donald Trump's special envoy as he attempts to negotiate an end to Russia's bloody invasion of Ukraine.

The president defended special envoy Steve Witkoff, a longtime friend from the New York real estate world, after a leaked recording appeared to show him coaching a Russian official on how to appeal to Trump, and a former member of his transition team downplayed the matter.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s attempt to please Donald Trump by pursuing Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) with a possible recall and court-martial will not play well with the public, as evidenced by GOP lawmakers siding with the former Navy pilot and astronaut, according to some.

Expanding upon reports that Hegseth wants to make an example of the Arizona Democrat for his part in a public service announcement advising military members they don’t have to follow “illegal“ orders, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough and his panel agreed it is a massive misstep by the administration.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's threats against the six Democratic lawmakers who posted the video reminding active troops they must refuse unlawful orders, is already set up to fail, MS NOW's Chris Hayes said on Tuesday evening.

That's because, he said, he has left a paper trail making clear he is pursuing potential court-martials of those lawmakers for illegal reasons — and perhaps none more so than against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who posted a defiant image of himself in his uniform saying he would not be bullied.

A Ukrainian lawmaker bashed President Donald Trump's proposal to end the country's four-year war with Russia during a new interview on Tuesday.

The Trump administration recently laid out a 28-point peace plan for Russia's war in Ukraine, a plan that some experts say appears to have been written by Russian authorities. The initial plan included language requiring Ukraine to cede land to Russia and significantly reduce the size of its army. Even though the plan has undergone significant revisions since then, it will still be a "major issue" for the Ukrainian people to deal with, according to Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko.

Former Naval War College professor Tom Nichols delivered a blistering assessment of President Donald in an interview Tuesday, arguing that the president's latest attacks on Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to defy illegal orders have nothing to do with national security – and everything to do with Trump’s character.

Nichols said Tuesday on MS NOW that Trump is “intimidated by anyone who exhibits any kind of virtue, any kind of commitment to selfless service, any kind of loyalty to something bigger than themselves.” He went on to tell “Deadline: White House” host Nicolle Wallace that Trump, “as a narcissist,” is psychologically incapable of understanding why people act from principle rather than personal gain.

A former Bush administration official is calling the Trump administration out on its bluff to prosecute Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over comments he made urging service members to defy illegal orders, suggesting on Fox News Tuesday that the administration is well aware that its criminal probe is unwinnable.

Kelly had participated in a video published last week in which several Democratic lawmakers urged active duty service members to defy unlawful orders, a video that sparked outrage from President Donald Trump, who went on to accuse the lawmakers of “seditious behavior” and threatened to execute them.

Donald Trump’s attack on members of Congress who served in the military for advising those currently serving not to follow illegal orders could have a ripple effect that blows up on him, an expert warned Tuesday.

During an appearance on MS NOW, longtime Washington D.C. observer John Heilemann suggested the president may face a reckoning now that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is going after Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a popular former Navy pilot and astronaut.
