Officials working for President Donald Trump in the Department of the Treasury have stepped forward to help Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk refute fraud claims made by MAGA influencer Candace Owens.

Sources told CBS News that the Treasury Department took the unusual step of sending a letter to Kirk after Owens made claims about Turning Point USA donations. According to the report, a few donors had requested that their contributions be returned.

A complaint by Donald Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s wife that their family had been victimized by protesters making what were described as “terroristic” threats fell apart on Tuesday with the release of a police incident report that pointed out that she had made much ado about nothing.

According to a report from Zeteo, Katie Miller, a former Trump administration functionary who has traded on her husband’s name to launch a career as a podcaster, had called police because she feared protesters outside their home, now listed for sale at $3.75 million.

President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social Monday, accusing Mexico of violating a decades-old water treaty and demanding the immediate release of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water he claims the U.S. is owed — or face a new 5% tariff. Trump insisted the alleged shortfall is harming Texas farmers and said he’s already authorized paperwork to impose penalties if Mexico doesn’t comply. It’s the latest in a string of water-related grievances Trump has lobbed at Mexico, even as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether he actually has the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs without Congress under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act — a decision that could upend his threats and force him to seek workarounds.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced backlash after a new military artificial intelligence website appeared to fail immediately.

"The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI," Hegseth said in an announcement posted to X on Tuesday. "And that's why today we are unleashing genAI.mil. This platform puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

A debate on racism, sexism, and in-context quotations erupted Tuesday over a bill that would make Charlie Kirk only the second person — after Ronald Reagan — to be comemmorated in Florida statute.

Republican Sen. Jonathan Martin would memorialize Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, as “Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance.” It comes three months after Kirk, a 31-year-old podcaster and right-wing debater, was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University.

President Donald Trump is quietly signaling that his health — and his hold on power — are slipping, according to a foreign policy analyst who says the 79-year-old president’s public dozing, swelling, bruising and fixation on legacy projects suggest he knows his time is running out. On The Daily Beast Podcast, analyst David Rothkopf argued that Trump’s visible decline has Washington taking notice, even as top allies like JD Vance and Marco Rubio jockey for position as the president nods off beside them at events. Rothkopf said Trump’s increasingly desperate push to rename major institutions after himself reflects a leader who fears he is “shuffling off this mortal coil sooner rather than later.”

President Donald Trump is traveling to a swing district in eastern Pennsylvania as he makes an effort to reassure voters that he cares about an issue he has dismissed as a "Democratic hoax."

Polls show a majority of Americans feel that Trump hasn't carried through on his campaign promise to lower prices, and increasing numbers of Americans are concerned about the economy and affordability, so the president is hitting the road in hopes of staving off an electoral wipeout for Republicans in next year's midterm elections, reported CNN.

A Utah man who was pardoned for firing a gun inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has been jailed in a kidnapping and sexual assault case.

On Tuesday, a Utah court ordered John Banuelos held in jail until a January hearing. Banuelos was charged with kidnapping and sexual assault in November after DNA collected during the Jan. 6 prosecutions was matched with a cold case in Utah.

A federal judge slammed the Trump administration Tuesday for “misleading” both victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the American public in what some critics have called a ploy of distraction.

New York District Judge Paul Engelmayer approved Tuesday the Justice Department’s request to unseal the court records of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking victims for Epstein. In his ruling, however, Engelmayer torched the DOJ’s request as an act of deception.

President Donald Trump insisted that the U.S. Supreme Court should revoke birthright citizenship because he said it was "meant for the babies of slaves."

During an interview with Politico this week, correspondent Dasha Burns asked Trump about the upcoming Supreme Court case.

A new column by The Atlantic’s David Graham highlights a jaw-dropping moment from Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino’s recent Fox News interview, in which he effectively admitted that his past MAGA media claims — including the false allegation that the government planted the Jan. 6 pipe bombs — were paid-for opinions rather than fact-based assertions. Speaking to Sean Hannity, Bongino said he once “was paid… for my opinions,” but now must rely on evidence in his FBI role, a confession Graham calls “astonishing” and emblematic of right-wing media figures who openly acknowledge pushing baseless narratives. Graham warns that Bongino’s casual admission on Fox News raises serious questions about his credibility, especially if he returns to his former role as a pundit.
