NBC's Garrett Haake was at a loss for words on Wednesday morning while reporting on comments made by Attorney General Pam Bondi during an impromptu question-and-answer session with reporters.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt bristled when a reporter asked why President Donald Trump wasn't prioritizing protesters' First Amendment rights.

The president has called on the National Guard and active-duty U.S. Marines to assist local law enforcement during protests in Los Angeles and promised a "heavy" response to any protests of his military parade Saturday in Washington, D.C. A White House reporter asked Leavitt whether he was more interested in security or constitutional rights.

The press secretary was asked about Trump's remarks during Wednesday's White House briefing.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) confronted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after she "lectured" Democrats about anti-Semitism.

The co-hosts of "The View" called out Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after they said he called for the torture of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).

Just days after setting off a revolt in Los Angeles, with other cities joining in, Donald Trump will attend a performance of “Les Misérables” about the French Revolution at the John F. Kennedy Center Opera House on Wednesday night.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday morning, Mayor Karen Bass started laughing at Donald Trump's proclamations about the unrest in California's largest city before "Morning Joe" regular Mara Gay could finish her sentence.

Invited on to discuss the success of the curfew she set imposed on the city on Tuesday night, which was largely successful, Gay prompted Bass with, "Mayor, have you received any kind of communication from the federal government about or even the state government about what you can expect from the hundreds of marines who are in Los Angeles right now and what their mission is," before pausing as Bass laughed and saying, "go ahead."

Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly declined to say what President Donald Trump's threshold was for invoking the Insurrection Act in California.

At a press gaggle on Wednesday, a reporter asked Bondi what events would force the president to use his powers to deploy troops under the 1807 law.
