The co-hosts of "The View" had a good laugh at President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he either slurred his words — or made up a new one altogether.

At issue is Trump's new conspiracy that President Barack Obama invented the evidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. It's nearly 10 years later and, Sunny Hostin remarked, Obama still "lives rent free in his head."

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) scolded acting FEMA director David Richardson for being "nowhere near Texas" in the days after a flood killed scores of people.

During a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on Wednesday, Stanton noted that Richardson had a duty under the law "to act proactively and not to wait for a request from Governor Abbott to pre-position resources."

President Donald Trump's approval has collapsed to near-historic lows, according to a new analysis, and Americans disapprove of his handling of every major issue.

The president has been trying to change the subject from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has ballooned this month after his Department of Justice announced the disgraced financier had killed himself while awaiting trial and had not kept a client list. CNN's Harry Enten found the issue was a major drag on Trump's popularity.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) fled the stage after pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted an event with members of Congress.

While appearing at an Axios event on Wednesday, Hawley was interrupted by protesters angry over his support for Israel.

CNN's Kate Bolduan laughed at a panelist's vivid description of a "panic-stricken" President Donald Trump consumed with guilt over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

The president prompted a rare response Tuesday from his predecessor Barack Obama after accusing him of "treasonous conspiracy" based on long-settled claims about the origins of the "Russiagate" probe, and Democratic strategist Paul Begala told "CNN News Central" that Trump was clearly trying to change the subject.

President Donald Trump has positioned himself as the "deep state" by targeting his predecessor Barack Obama with possible prosecution, according to a Republican pollster.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has dredged up previously investigated claims about the origins of the "Russiagate" probe and alleged that Obama and some of his high-ranking national security officials engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy" during the 2016 election, and panelists on "CNN This Morning" agreed that Trump was trying to distract from his Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

With Donald Trump headed off to Scotland later this week, he is leaving behind a White House in disarray and unsure how to stop the drip drip drip of revelations about the president's friendship with notorious accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to an MSNBC host.

Now that media outlets are growing more aggressive in calling out the president and some of his top officials for creating "distractions" to direct attention elsewhere, MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire reported that the White House is in a frenzy over what to do because nothing seems to be working.

Reacting to a rambling press conference on Tuesday by Donald Trump, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" buried the president for going to extremes to avoid additional scrutiny over his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

After days of criticism of his Department of Justice taking heat for trying to bury the so-called Epstein files, the president is now being accused of falling back on attacks on President Barack Obama with claims the former president committed treason.

With co-host Willie Geist pointing out that the accusations being made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — which Trump has glommed onto — having already been disproved by then-Senate Intel Chair Marco Rubio, the host observed Trump is obviously desperate.

"It's widely concluded and signed by Marco Rubio, who, let's remember, is the secretary of state under President Trump, he also has three other interim jobs, his was a bipartisan conclusion and what was happening here,' he explained. "It must be said this is, you know, President Trump trying to distract."

"We have seen for four days an effort, a flailing effort to try to turn the conversation away from the Jeffrey Epstein matter and this is what he settled on: it's 2016 all over again," he added.

Contributor Mike Barnicle added, "What we just saw a clip of is the sitting president of the United States of America talking about one of his predecessors, Barack Obama, and using the word treason. Yeah, that is so far beyond the pale."

There's a bit of irony packed into the president's fight with the Wall Street Journal, according to one analyst.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon told Andrew Zucker on his podcast "The Golden Age" that President Donald Trump's reaction to the Wall Street Journal's bombshell report about a letter Trump allegedly sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday makes the newspaper's owner, Rupert Murdoch, the true winner of the affair.

The panel on CNN's "NewNight with Abby Phillip" erupted after a MAGA star attempted to downplay the significance of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Kevin O'Leary, CEO of O'Leary Ventures, claimed that the Epstein case is irrelevant to average Americans. His comments come at a time when President Donald Trump is seeking to distance himself from the Epstein saga, which has fractured his base and consumed his administration for the last couple of weeks.

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee told MSNBC on Tuesday night that his Republican colleagues are at a breaking point with President Donald Trump.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) joined Jen Psaki on "The Briefing" to discuss the House GOP leadership sending lawmakers home.

A Republican senator has decided not to vote for one of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees, which could sink the nomination altogether, MSNBC reported.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said in a statement to MSNBC that she will vote "no" on Emil Bove's nomination to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The statement was issued at a time when the Trump administration is seeking any political wins it can muster following the backlash it received for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
