'Seems to be getting worse': Attorney floored as GOP deposition scheme backfires on Trump

A lawyer was floored on Sunday as he discussed how the GOP's scheme to ignore the deposition of a potential co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein's backfired on the president.

Last week, the House Oversight Committee held a nearly five-hour deposition of Leslie Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria's Secret. Not a single Republican attended the deposition hearing, where Wexner denied any involvement in Epstein's crimes and argued that he was "conned" out of the nearly $200 million that he paid Epstein for real estate and tax services throughout their relationship.

Expert flags 'turning point' that could lead to key Trump official's impeachment

Attorney General Pam Bondi may be much closer to being impeached than she thinks, according to one expert.

About two weeks ago, Bondi attended a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee about the Trump Department of Justice's efforts to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, as they are required to do by federal law. Bondi appeared combative during the hearing and refused to acknowledge survivors of Epstein's crimes.

'Literally a lie': Economist thrashes Trump's 'best story' about the economy

A prominent economist thrashed President Donald Trump's "best story" about the U.S. economy during a new interview on Sunday.

Last week, Trump claimed that he had "won affordability" during a speech in Rome, Georgia. But that claim appears to contradict the latest economic data released by his administration, which showed that U.S. economic growth slowed to 2.2% in 2025 from 2.8% in 2024, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Meanwhile, inflation increased more than expected in December, Reuters reported.

On Friday, an individual identifying themselves as “John Barron” phoned into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court’s ruling against President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but by Sunday, a prominent political commentator suggested that the mysterious caller was none other than Trump himself.

Trump just 'upset all 9' Supreme Court Justices — and it's sure to backfire: GOP insider

Donald Trump's reaction to the Supreme Court smacking down his signature initiative upset "all nine" justices and will give the conservative high court "more freedom" to defy the president's wishes in upcoming cases, according to a Republican strategist.

‘We will look like schmucks!’ GOP infighting erupts as senator revolts against leadership

Last week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) described the idea of “nuking the filibuster” – a procedural rule that allows senators to block a vote – “something that doesn't have a future,” but on Saturday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revolted against the notion, arguing on behalf of eliminating the rule as a means to forward the Trump administration’s agenda.

“I understand why there's a reluctance to end the filibuster because, as Republicans and conservatives, we realize that our ability in the minority to stop awful legislation put forward by Democrats and the socialists in their party... we would have been down a far more destructive path a lot earlier were it not for the filibuster,” Johnson said during an appearance Saturday on Fox News.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted that the American people would never see the return of $175 billion in tariffs collected by the Trump administration after the Supreme Court struck down the president's ability to impose them.
