Stunned silence and awkward laughs in Oval Office at MAGA senator's FIFA admission

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) stunned the Oval Office Monday into a brief moment of silence after openly admitting to President Donald Trump’s meddling in a FIFA World Cup game – an acknowledgement that later elicited awkward laughter from those in the room.

Last week, Folarin Balogun, who plays for the U.S. national team, received a red card, a penalty that carries a one-game suspension.

Sordid Trump ally's rejection at the Supreme Court astounds legal expert

The Supreme Court surprised a legal expert last week by rejecting an application from one of President Donald Trump's sordid allies.

Roy Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who has faced extensive allegations of sexual misconduct, appealed to the Supreme Court to reinstate a more than $8 million judgment he was awarded from a lower court that was later vacated by the 11th Circuit in a defamation case.

At least one political analyst left President Donald Trump's July 4 celebration feeling a little let down.

However, the event was marred by extreme heat, long lines, and a weather delay, which caused many people to leave the National Mall before Trump took the stage.
