A prominent Evangelical reverend stunned political analysts and observers on Sunday with his speech during President Donald Trump's "Rededicate 250" prayer event at the National Mall.

The Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of the late preacher Billy Graham, spoke via a pre-recorded video at the prayer event, describing America as a country that has become "morally rotten" and "completely sick with sin." He mentioned issues like "transgenderism" and "opening women's locker rooms to men" as a couple of examples.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was asked Sunday by Fox News’ Shannon Bream whether he had a message for Black voters in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month and subsequent GOP gerrymandering blitz – which has disproportionately impacted Black Americans – and his answer left onlookers dumbfounded.

In late April, the Supreme Court effectively gutted a provision in the Voting Rights Act that was designed to prohibit racially discriminatory voting policies – namely, the drawing of congressional district maps. In the weeks since, Republican-led states have raced to redraw their own maps ahead of the midterm elections in such a manner as to benefit the GOP – and in most cases, at the expense of Black voters.

MS NOW's Jonathan Capehart on Sunday painted a vivid picture of one anxious Republican senator sweating out President Donald Trump's primary endorsement decision — and warned the GOP that Trump's habit of meddling in primaries could backfire in swingier states.

Discussing Saturday's stunning Louisiana primary defeat of Sen. Bill Cassidy, one of the seven Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, Capehart turned his attention to Texas, where Sen. John Cornyn is locked in a primary fight with controversial Attorney General Ken Paxton.

One of the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee called attention to a document displayed at a new hearing with Jeffrey Epstein's victims that could potentially reveal the names of his co-conspirators.

The panel's Democratic minority held a shadow hearing Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida, where survivors of the well-connected sex offender provided tearful testimony about his abuse and international sex trafficking ring, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) described powerful evidence about individuals allegedly involved in that network.

A former high-ranking intelligence official expressed alarm over President Donald Trump's comments following his high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Sue Gordon, who resigned as deputy director of national intelligence during Trump's first term, told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace she was concerned with the president's indifferent attitude to Chinese companies stealing American intellectual property.
