The protest sparked outrage within the MAGA movement, and officials in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice have said they plan to prosecute the protesters.

Trump says 'sometimes you need a dictator' after threat to cancel election

Major decision just handed lawmakers a path to take down Trump: legal expert

A major decision in the legal fight over President Donald Trump's responsibility to release the Jeffrey Epstein files may have given lawmakers a way to take down the president, according to one legal expert.

Last year, Congress passed a law requiring the Department of Justice to release all Epstein files in its possession by Dec.19, 2025. The administration has said in court filings that it has released just 1% of the files so far, and will need "several weeks" to review millions more documents that it allegedly discovered. Some of the files have painted Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal in an unsavory light.

Trump's Supreme Court 'Hail Mary' seems to have crashed and burned: analyst

President Donald Trump is not going to win his bid at the Supreme Court to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, predicted Vanderbilt University law professor Brian Fitzpatrick on MS NOW Wednesday afternoon.

Trump ordered Cook removed based on unproven and largely debunked allegations from Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte that she engaged in mortgage fraud. Federal Reserve officials can only be removed by the president for cause, and the Trump administration argues the mere accusation of fraud is sufficient cause to qualify. The Supreme Court separately appears poised to give presidents vastly more power to fire officials at independent agencies, but has already signaled they consider the Fed a special case.
