Clash erupts on CNN as conservative defends government probes of Trump enemies

A conservative commentator faced pushback from fellow panelists on "CNN This Morning" for justifying the second indictment against former FBI Director James Comey and the federal investigation of TV stations that broadcast Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show.

'The government has a real problem' in prosecuting would-be Trump assassin: ex-US Attorney

The case against the man who burst through security at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner to attack Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet may not be as cut and dried as the Justice Department is making it out to be.

The Office of the Inspector General announced recently that it will be initiating an audit of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a systematic review that one legal expert and former state attorney said could be used against the Trump administration should Democrats take back control of the House in November.
