Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was scandalized when TMZ reporter Jacob Wass caught up with him on Thursday and asked him to vouch for the authenticity of Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) proof-of-life photo from the hospital, after he spent weeks recovering from severe cardiac issues.

"Is the Mitch McConnell photo of him in the hospital real or fake?" asked Wass.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) berated one of President Donald Trump's top officials Thursday over grand claims that the administration has been unable to back up.

The confrontation unfolded at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought was testifying as acting CFPB director.

White House official Russell Vought's attempts to outmaneuver Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) over "evil" cuts to the federal workforce backfired on Thursday when she called his tactics out on the spot.

Vought appeared before the Senate Banking Committee as its sole witness for an oversight hearing on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the federal agency he has spent months trying to gut as its director.

A stranger slipped past security at NBC's "Today" show Thursday morning, forced his way deep inside the network's Rockefeller Center headquarters and allegedly lunged at anchor Craig Melvin while screaming a racial slur, law enforcement sources told TMZ.

The intruder was hunting for weatherman Al Roker, according to the report. After breaching the publicly accessible plaza around 9 a.m. ET, he ducked into a stairwell and made his way backstage, reportedly near the dressing rooms. Exactly how far he got remains unclear. When he couldn't find Roker, he turned on Melvin inside a restricted area, allegedly charging at him and yelling the N-word.

President Donald Trump's latest federal probe violates the Justice Department's own guidelines on how to investigate, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN's John Berman on Thursday morning.

The investigation — centered on New York Times reporters who revealed leaked information on the new Qatari Air Force One's security vulnerabilities — is being led directly by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and FBI Director Kash Patel, CNN reported.

An interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico, who is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate, was temporarily derailed on Thursday morning over a report that the Republican Lt. Governor of the state doesn't think he's “manly” enough for the state.

After the producers of “Morning Joe” displayed a less-than-flattering picture of elderly Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in a black mockneck and jacket, co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough could barely speak as they laughed at the photo.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) on Thursday morning took a swipe at acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for claiming at his confirmation hearing that he couldn't meet with Epstein survivors because they had lawyered up.

Durbin, in a conversation with CNN anchor John Berman, argued Blanche had no business leading the Department of Justice and called his excuse "baloney."

A shouting match erupted on CNN Thursday morning when a former Trump White House official attacked Democrats for grilling Jay Clayton, the president's Director of National Intelligence nominee, on the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Dubke's critique of Clayton's confirmation hearing Wednesday was swiftly pounced upon by one co-panelist who condemned Clayton's inability to give a straight answer and state former President Joe Biden won.

U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton’s abrasive performance before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday likely lost him the vote of a “bitterly disappointed’ U.S. senator who has known him for years and was likely to support him, according to a new report.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) was expected to be a lock to vote for Clayon, based on his long-term relationship from his tenure as SEC chair, analyst Ken Dilanian told MS NOW’s “Morning Joe" viewers Thursday morning.
