Ghislaine Maxwell clams up as new video released by DOJ reveals her life behind bars

Ghislaine Maxwell, co-conspirator to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, decided to invoke her 5th Amendment rights and refused to answer any questions Monday as the Department of Justice released a new video revealing her life behind bars.

Conservative sounds alarm on under-the-radar Trump move to pay off cops to assist ICE

During an appearance on MS NOW Monday, conservative commentator Matt Lewis raised the prospect of Donald Trump taking over local police departments by paying them off to help out in rounding up immigrants.

One survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's horrifying crimes revealed on Sunday how the attempts by President Donald Trump's Department of Justice to silence victims have backfired spectacularly.

'Oh, come on': CNN's friendly Trump appointee interview goes sideways with one statement

Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s administrator for the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid, made a remark Sunday that caught CNN’s Dana Bash so off guard that it instantly upended the otherwise friendly interview.

GOP barreling toward 'massive splintering' that will hurt JD Vance: journalist

Signs that the Republican Party may suffer a “massive splintering” once President Donald Trump leaves office are already taking place in Texas, and may very well expand across the nation, journalist and author Jonah Goldberg predicted Sunday on CNN.

At the center of the GOP’s split in Texas is its controversial attorney general Ken Paxton, a devout Trump loyalist who’s often clashed with the state’s more traditional wing of Republicans. That divide, Goldberg argued, was “prologue” to what Republicans can expect after Trump leaves the White House, and one that could ultimately sever the party into two distinct factions.
