'Suspicious’: Analyst says Trump moves show ‘he’s not feeling good’ about Epstein scandal

President Donald Trump's behavior around the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case has created suspicion simply because of how little he seems to want to follow through on giving the answers he promised his base, Vanity Fair's Molly Jong-Fast told Ari Melber on MSNBC on Monday.

Melber started this point by playing a clip of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's controversial interview with imprisoned Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who said she did not believe Epstein died by suicide — a common conspiracy theory that has animated the debate.

'Remarkably small and ridiculous': Economist scoffs as Trump's big tax boast

President Donald Trump's implementation of the "No Tax On Tips" policy is poorly conceived and asking for trouble, University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers told CNN's Phil Mattingly on Monday.

The policy, a key campaign promise Trump made in 2024, was authorized by the GOP's tax cut megabill passed earlier this year. It allows for tips to receive a tax deduction. The policy, along with eliminating taxes on overtime, expires a month before Trump is set to leave office.

'No, no, no!' NYT journalist gets heated at CNN conservative's 'disingenuous' claim

'That's nonsense': GOP ex-prosecutor fact-checks right-wing TV hosts on 'crisis' claim

Former state and federal prosecutor Pat Brady sounded off Monday on Newsmax host Katrina Szish over her defense of President Donald Trump’s looming threat to launch a federal takeover in Chicago, much like the ongoing takeover of Washington, D.C.

“The president's statements that somehow the city of Chicago is this great warzone [are] just not true,” Brady said, who chaired the Illinois Republican Party and is now a GOP strategist. “There are very localized areas on the south and west sides that are horrible, and this is where you see a lot of this crime occur, but if you go to the north side where I live, it's substantially better than it used to be.”

'Much worse situation than we ever were in Watergate' as Trump runs wild: historian

A prominent historian warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump has created a situation much worse than what the country faced during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.

Garrett Graff, author of the Doomsday Scenario newsletter, joined Emma Vigeland on "The Majority Report" to discuss the Trump administration pushing the U.S. towards authoritarianism. Graff argued that Trump's "speedrunning abuses of power," such as deploying federal troops to cities across the U.S., have "fundamentally changed" the country.

Alarm raised over Trump's 'fundamentally alien' attempt to take control of the US

Donald Trump’s increasingly frequent threats to deploy federal officers and troops to Democrat-led cities, was called out by analyst Ron Brownstein on Monday morning as he warned against labeling such efforts as a mere “distraction.”

“When Democratic congressional leaders like [Sen.] Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and [Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) criticize Trump's actions in terms of threatening democracy or deploying troops to U.S. cities, they almost invariably describe it as a distraction from something else, whether it's Epstein, Medicaid cuts or inflation,” Brownstein said, speaking on CNN.

‘Opposition up like a rocket!’ CNN analyst dumps more bad news on Trump

Americans have resignedly rejected President Donald Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs, according to new polling that left CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten stunned on Monday.

Kennedy Jr. on the latest episode of The Daily Beat's podcast, "Inside Trump's Head."

'Keeps me up at night': Ex-prosecutor warns of 'atmospheric damage' from latest Trump move

A former federal prosecutor revealed the "atmospheric damage" that President Donald Trump's latest move could cause if it is successful.

The Trump administration recently raided the home of his former national security advisor, John Bolton, over claims that Bolton mishandled classified information. Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. Attorney, said on a recent episode of his podcast, "Justice Matters," that Trump may be emboldened to prosecute more of his rivals if Bolton is convicted of a crime.
