Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) warned on Monday's edition of MSNBC's "The Weeknight" that Fox News put itself in a position where it could be sued on exactly the same grounds as President Donald Trump's legal complaint against CBS — a case experts widely considered frivolous, but which CBS' parent company nonetheless settled, allegedly to avoid regulatory action against their merger.

"That Fox News interview where he was asked about this," said anchor Alicia Menendez. "You are concerned that they edited the files. He was asked if he would declassify the files. He says, yeah, yeah, I would, or at least that's how it appears in their edit. In the raw footage, Trump clearly refuses to unequivocally endorse full declassification. Why is that important to you?"

Members of the GOP are starting to call for the Attorney General to testify about her knowledge of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

On Monday, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) told CNN's Manu Raju that he would like to see Attorney General Pam Bondi testify before a House committee about the files. His comments come after the Department of Justice issued an unsigned memo contradicting many of President Donald Trump's comments about the files. At the same time, reports indicate that the FBI has engaged more than 1,000 agents to comb through the files and flag any mentions of Trump's name.

Retired police chief and Brown University professor Brandon del Pozo tore into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers for wearing masks and concealing their identities during President Donald Trump's immigration raids — and claimed their reasoning for doing so is nonsense.

"Let's get right to the heart of this," said anchor Melissa Murray. "ICE says that the masks are absolutely necessary to protect the safety of their agents and to prevent doxing. But you argue that anonymous policing poses even greater threats to society. Can you elaborate?"

A CNN anchor slammed President Donald Trump's attempts to distract attention away from his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

CNN's Erin Burnett, host of the show "OutFront," made Trump's distraction efforts a key part of her opening monologue on Monday. Her comments come as the Trump administration continues throwing red meat to its base by announcing potential investigations into former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

A prominent White House reporter revealed what he called the "most striking" detail to come out of Hunter Biden's meltdown Monday at the media and Democrats.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper brought Axios' Alex Thompson, who co-wrote a damning book about President Joe Biden and an alleged cover-up over his mental fitness, onto his show, "The Lead," on Monday to discuss Hunter Biden's lash out.

President Donald Trump's administration announced a new investigation on Monday, which one analyst said should be seen as a "blinking red light" for the MAGA movement.

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that it had uncovered evidence that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama conspired to prevent Trump from winning the 2016 election. On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice would also be releasing information about former FBI Director James Comey's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) described a scene in the House in which a Republican saluted him for his ongoing persistence in obtaining the investigation files around Jeffrey Epstein.

Swalwell, who spoke to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" Monday, responded to Republican complaints that Democrats could have released the files while President Joe Biden was in office. It inadvertently admits that it's President Donald Trump who is currently refusing their release, and has the power to release the million-plus pages of documents.

A report published Monday by the Union of Concerned Scientists details how U.S. President Donald Trump "has led a systemic and coordinated attack on science" during the first six months of his second administration as "part of a larger strategy to strip public protections, consolidate power, and remove scientific evidence from policymaking."

The UCS analysis states that the second Trump administration has carried out 402 attacks on science, defined as "an action, statement, or decision that originates from an elected official or political appointee in a federal agency that results in the censoring, manipulation, forging, or misinforming of scientific data, results, or conclusions conducted within the government or with federal funds."

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is refusing to allow a vote on the legislation that would mandate the release of files in the investigation of wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein. His position is something that MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said should be an "easy" decision for the GOP leadership.

Last week, Johnson was advocating for the release of the files. As recently as this weekend, Johnson was still in support of the release.

A new CBS News poll found that most Americans want the files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation released in their entirety. Instead, on Monday, President Donald Trump's administration announced files around the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Speaking about the matter on CNN to Kasie Hunt, New York Times reporter and podcast host Lulu Garcia-Navarro noted that the public is infatuated with the story. The Netflix documentary and books on Epstein have gained significant attention over the month of July, CNN reported Sunday.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were to blame for refusing to release additional files on Jeffrey Epstein.

While speaking to reporters Monday, Leavitt was asked why President Donald Trump had not "just ordered the FBI to release the full Epstein files."

Pro-MAGA host Jack Posobiec argued that backlash against a CEO who was caught having an affair at a Coldplay concert was an attack on "straight white" people.

During an interview with Human Events editor Kenny Cody on Monday, Posobiec likened the ousting of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron to the plans of Democratic candidates.

Six months into Donald Trump's second presidency, a leading Republican pollster is sounding the alarm that the twice-impeached former president may have already torpedoed his party's chances in the upcoming midterm elections.

Frank Luntz, a prominent GOP messaging expert and pollster, delivered a stark warning during a Monday appearance on CNN, declaring that Trump's political "honeymoon" period has officially expired — and the outlook for Republicans is grim.
