Donald Trump's transition team was caught in a "violation of federal law," a Democratic lawmaker said on Sunday.

Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, where he was asked about the president-elect's government takeover.

Fox News medical contributor and forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden contradicted the defense of Daniel Penny, a former Marine on trial for allegedly killing street artist Jordan Neely with a chokehold in 2023.

Penny's defense, which rested Friday, argued that Neely's sickle cell trait and marijuana use led to his death. But during a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Baden said that it was Penny's chokehold that had "caused the death" of Neely.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he opposed President-elect Donald Trump's plan to place tariffs on imported goods because it would be "a tax on the consumer."

The Republican lawmaker came out against the proposal during a Sunday interview on CBS after host Margaret Brennan asked if he supported billionaire hedge fund CEO Scott Bessent to be Treasury secretary.

Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall revealed she had worked with former host Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for defense secretary, and she believes that he is a rapist.

In a Fox News segment on Sunday, host Howard Kurtz noted that Hegseth was accused of rape in 2017 by a woman who went to the police, "and a rape kit confirmed the sexual encounter."

Fox News pundits Ben Domenech and Leslie Marshall agreed that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was unqualified to be a babysitter or drive teenage girls in an Uber because he had been accused of having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, Domenech agreed with Gaetz's decision to withdraw as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) fired back at Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) on Sunday morning after his colleague stated she has no doubts ex-Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has been "compromised" and is unfit to serve as Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence.

Gabbard has come under increasing scrutiny after the president-elect nominated her for the highly sensitive intel post with even Republicans –– including Nikki Haley –– questioning her judgment and her foreign ties.

During an earlier interview on CNN's "State of The Union," the Illinois Democrat told host Dana Bash, "Well, I think she's compromised. I think by going to Syria and basically backing a brutal dictator there — I mean, Russian-controlled media called her a Russian asset. So I do think that we have a real deep concern whether or not she's a compromised person. And, frankly, the U.S. Intelligence Committee — I'm sorry — the U.S. intelligence community has identified her as having troubling relationships with America's foes. And so my worry is that she couldn't pass a background check."

After a commercial break, Mullin was asked about Duckworth's remarks and he was not pleased.

"I got a lot of respect for Tammy, and I've known her for years we served together in the House, but for her to use ridiculous and outright dangerous words like that is wrong," he responded.

"You got to keep in mind, Tulsi Gabbard is still a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army," he offered. "She commands the reserve unit here in Oklahoma and Missouri. If she was compromised, if she wasn't able to pass a background check, if she wasn't able to do her job, she still wouldn't be in the Army."

"So Tammy is absolutely dead wrong on this and she should retract those words, that's the most dangerous thing she could say," he warned.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) vowed to support Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by investigating NPR and "toilets in Africa."

"Elon Musk will be leading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, under the Trump administration, aimed at cutting at least $2 trillion said to be government waste of taxpayer money," Fox News host Maria Bartiromo explained during an interview with Greene on Sunday.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy told Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) that she didn't need to see women's private parts to enforce anti-transgender bathroom bans because she could tell who was a biological woman by looking at them.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Mace explained her crusade against Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (R-DE) by suggesting she had a fear of being raped in the bathroom by the first transgender member of Congress.

ABC host Jonathan Karl pressed Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) after he suggested that FBI background checks for President-elect Donald Trump's nominees weren't necessary.

During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, Karl noted that Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) had called for an FBI background check for defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, who faced sexual misconduct allegations.
