An international law expert was astounded on Sunday as the Trump administration quietly "rewarded" a country for helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions.

Last week, the Trump administration approved a settlement with Turkey's state-owned Halkbank, which laundered money from Iranian oil back to the Iranian regime while the country was under maximum sanctions by the U.S. In all, the fine for the case could have surpassed $40 billion, according to Sinan Ciddi, senior fellow and director of the Turkey Program at Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

A former GOP lawmaker became incensed on Sunday while discussing President Donald Trump's latest "vile" fundraising campaign.

Over the weekend, Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters that included a photo of him in a white USA hat from the dignified transfer of the fallen soldiers who died during Iran's retaliatory attack on the U.S. embassy in Kuwait. Denver Riggleman, a former Republican lawmaker, told MS NOW's Alex Witt on Sunday that the photo of Trump at the event was "vile" because he was using the deaths of American soldiers to raise money for his political campaign.

Republican commentator and operative Janelle King took to Newsmax Sunday with a blunt message for Americans opposed to the Trump administration’s war against Iran that has left 13 U.S. service members dead: “calm down” and “enjoy Netflix.”

King joined the far-right news network Sunday to respond to criticisms of the ongoing U.S.-Israeli siege on Iran, a conflict that a majority of Americans said they oppose in a recent Quinnipiac Poll.

President Donald Trump's latest move in the war in Iran alarmed a supply chain analyst on Sunday.

Over the weekend, Trump called on other countries to help the U.S. clear the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime has fortified in response to the coordinated bombing campaign conducted by the U.S. and Israel that began in late February. About 20% of global liquefied natural gas and oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has said U.S. and Israeli ships can no longer transit the waterway.

Political analysts and observers blasted Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s latest "cringe AI slop" video on Sunday, promoting his Make America Health Again agenda.

Kennedy posted a video of himself wrestling against a Twinkie mascot in a WWE SmackDown-style match. It includes an AI version of a shirtless Kennedy throwing the mascot around the ring with famous WWE announcer Jim Ross narrating the events. It is also set to the metal band Limp Bizkit's hit song "Rollin'."

The View’s Whoopi Goldberg sparked outrage on Newsmax Sunday after accusing President Donald Trump of launching war against Iran partly to distract from his administration’s botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“The liberal media doing what they do best: spin the narrative!” noted one Newsmax host.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg hammered President Donald Trump on Sunday over his political action committee’s recent effort to use images from the dignified transfer of American service members killed in action to rake in cash, telling CNN that the president was clearly no longer fit for office.

“Just this week, we saw campaign fundraising materials being put out, emails where the president’s committee, the president’s political operation, was raising money off of images of him at a dignified transfer,” Buttigieg told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), an active leader in the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing probe into Jeffrey Epstein and his potential co-conspirators, laughed off a seemingly unintentional “Freudian slip” Saturday after mistakenly referring to the disgraced financier as Donald Trump.

Stansbury spoke with the progressive media company MediasTouch in a video published Saturday about the importance of her committee reaching out to individuals previously associated with Epstein to obtain depositions. The interview was briefly derailed, however, after Stansbury appeared to refer to Epstein as Trump before quickly correcting herself.

An answer by a California conservative, scrambling to keep his job in the House, was on the receiving end of rolled eyes on MS NOW on Saturday morning after he repeatedly ducked a question about US military potentially being deployed to Iran if Donald Trump’s war drags on.

Appearing on “The Weekend," Rep. Kevin Kiley, who switched his affiliation from Republican to independent after redistricting put his job at risk, was asked by co-host Jackie Alemany, “A quick yes or no question, do you support boots on the ground in order to accomplish regime change?”

Donald Trump's impetuous decision to launch a war on Iran, despite being warned against it, has handed Vladimir Putin an unexpected windfall, as the U.S. Treasury's decision to lift sanctions on Russian seaborne oil shipments has effectively relieved the economic stranglehold that was finally beginning to cripple Moscow's war machine.

The 30-day license announced this week was designed to control skyrocketing oil prices triggered by the U.S.-Israeli conflict. Instead, it has become a lifeline for Russia's teetering economy—exactly when sanctions were inflicting maximum damage, reports the Washington Post.

President Donald Trump derailed his own administration's effort to investigate the Federal Reserve by incessantly posting political attacks against Chairman Jerome Powell on social media, Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward argued on MS NOW's "The Weeknight" Friday — effectively handing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg proof that the probe was politically motivated.

The probe, conducted by D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, was ostensibly about mismanaging money to renovate the Fed headquarters — but, the MS NOW panel concluded, Trump gave the game away that it was about trying to bully the Fed into lowering interest rates beyond what their governors thought prudent.
