Fox News host Sandra Smith repeatedly talked over a guest after he mentioned a sophomoric AI-generated video President Donald Trump posted to social media on the day of massive protests against his administration.

The Daily Beast reported Monday that former Biden administration official Dan Koh, who is running as a Democrat for a U.S. House district in Massachusetts, was abruptly interrupted the moment he brought up the video, which shows the 47th president of the United States flying a jet with "King Trump" written on it, dumping feces on a crowd of protesters. The video featured the song "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, though the musician later demanded that his song be removed from the video. The video with the song is still live as of this writing.

The top Senate Republican torpedoed one of President Donald Trump's most controversial nominees on Monday night, flatly asserting, "he's not gonna pass."

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) told CNN in a statement that he hopes the White House pulls Trump's nomination for Paul Ingrassia, a right-wing podcaster whom Trump nominated to lead the Office of the Special Counsel. Thune's comment comes after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) also said Monday that he would not support Ingrassia, setting up a potential fight between MAGA heavyweights and the president.

Lawmakers and legal analysts were taken aback as former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta stumbled facing a withering congressional spotlight as he defended a 2008 plea deal that allowed convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to serve minimal jail time.

Acosta spoke to the House Oversight and Reform Committee, where he defended his "sweetheart plea deal" he offered to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin pinpointed a specific exchange he had with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who hammered him about why he considered Epstein's victims unreliable.

The federal appeals court panel that just allowed President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, essentially disregarded the plain facts the lower court found, criminal defense attorney Joey Jackson told CNN on Monday.

"It's concerning," said Jackson. "The reason it's concerning is because [the district judge] had a hearing. And at that hearing, there were facts, right? Hearing is about facts and evidence with respect to whether or not the deployment was lawful. And lawful deployment means, if you're going to allege, as the president certainly has the authority to send troops if federal properties are at issue to enforce constitutional rights, etcetera. So, yes, you have the authority, but they have to be facts that would substantiate your ability to send the troops."

CNN anchor Boris Sanchez reports that federal law enforcement is starting to "feel the heat" as a Chicago judge condemns the Trump administration's tactics, saying that there are still reports of tear gas being deployed without warning.

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis, a Barack Obama appointee, ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement field director Russell Hott to appear in court Monday. But he returned to Washington, D.C. that same day on what the Department of Homeland Security calls a "planned return."

A political expert flagged what she called a "dumb move" by the Justice Department in its prosecution against former FBI Director James Comey, who has submitted a filing alleging that the case against him is vindictive or selective prosecution.

Among the documents in the Monday filing were 60 pages of examples of social media posts from President Donald Trump specifically attacking Comey. The filing became the topic of discussion on CNN, where CNN political commentator Xohitl Hinojosa weighed in.

CNN reporter Katelyn Polantz revealed on Monday that former FBI Director James Comey appears to be using President Donald Trump's own words against him in court.

Comey's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss Trump's prosecution against Comey because it is a "selective or vindictive prosecution," according to Polantz. In layman's terms, that means the prosecuting team is retaliating against a defendant, which courts have held is a violation of due process rights.

President Donald Trump's video that dumps feces on America while wearing a crown has drawn criticism since it was posted, but even MSNBC host Katy Tur is commenting that there's no comparison.

Since the shooting death of Charlie Kirk, Republican officials and activists have complained that calling out neo-Nazis, white supremacists or fascism is what is contributing to the violence against the GOP.

Far-right influencer Jack Posobiec, a friend of Charlie Kirk, revealed that he believed pornography "played a role" in the activist's murder.

During his Monday Real America's Voice program, Posobiec spoke to activist Terry Schilling about his theory.

When President Donald Trump mass pardoned nearly all of the Jan. 6 defendants, he set in motion further legal questions about the restitution some judges ordered to be paid. But it's a little all over the place when it comes to the former defendants having their restitution dismissed.

CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane provided a Monday update about former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) having nearly $400,000 in restitution dismissed.

Veteran Rich Osthoff was defrauded by ex-Rep. George Santos who, he claimed, set up a GoFundMe for his dying dog — and then pocketed the cash. Watching President Donald Trump free the disgraced congressman Friday has left him furious.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Osthoff said he was "sick to my stomach" after hearing about Santos' commutation. "For the president of the United States to stick me in the gut with a knife, and every other veteran and every other military member gets a knife to the gut."
