President Donald Trump's niece flagged the most fitting punishment for the president after his outburst about slain director Rob Reiner.

Trump chided Reiner's murder in a Truth Social post on Monday, saying the director suffered from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and suggested that may have been a cause in his death. Authorities have indicted Reiner's son, Nick, with murder in the case.

President Donald Trump's rant about slain director Rob Reiner just made his "Peace President" brand more "mendacious," according to one columnist.

Reiner and his wife, Michele, were murdered in their Hollywood, California home on Sunday, according to reports. Their son, Nick, has been indicted on murder charges related to the case.

A prominent GOP strategist called out President Donald Trump's "indefensible" statements about a slain director on Monday during an interview on CNN.

On Sunday night, director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead in their Hollywood, California, home. Authorities have said the Reiners' son, Nick, is "responsible" for his parents' death, and he faces murder charges in their killings.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) publicly refused to back down on CNN amid the Trump administration's legal threats against him for his joint video with ex-military Democrats reminding active servicemembers they must refuse illegal orders.

This comes after Kelly's legal team sent a warning to the Secretary of the Navy that they would pursue all avenues to stop an "unconstitutional and extraordinary abuse of power," like recalling him to active duty to court-martial him.

A staffer at a right-wing news site published a scathing critique of President Donald Trump's posts blaming Hollywood director Rob Reiner for his own killing, asserting the president's widely-derided message represented a "massive" tactical "misstep" that may ultimately come back to haunt Republicans in the midterms.

In a rant to his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, "Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before."

Longtime pro-Trump commentator Megyn Kelly had some harsh words for FBI Director Kash Patel over how he handled the first hours after the Brown University shooting, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

Kelly, who said she considers Patel to be a "friend," particularly slammed how the Trump official handled the initial detention of a "person of interest," touting that capture only to have to admit later that he was not involved. As of this morning, reports indicated that police essentially had to start the investigation over with the release of the initial suspect.

A former GOP speechwriter flagged a troubling part of a new "emergency" that President Donald Trump declared on Monday.

Trump announced during the Mexican Border Defense Medal presentation at the White House on Monday that his administration is designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. The designation could give the administration more leeway to conduct its strikes against alleged drug boats in international waters.

A state judge in Wisconsin ruled Monday that a criminal forgery case can proceed against former aides to President Donald Trump, in connection with the 2020 plot to stand fake electors and overturn the presidential election.

It's one of the last remaining pieces of litigation pending over the 2020 election, as other cases against Trump and his acolytes around the country have either been pleaded out, dismissed, or resolved in other ways. Another such case is still advancing in Nevada, as well.

A pair of legal advocates took a victory lap on Monday night after one of President Donald Trump's allies resigned from her office.

During a new episode of the "Norm and Katie's Legal Fight Club" podcast, Norm Eisen, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, and independent journalist Kate Phang discussed the abrupt resignation of Trump’s U.S. attorney in Delaware, Julianne Murray, on Friday. Murray is the former leader of the state Republican Party and was appointed on an interim basis over the summer.
