Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) held a news conference outside the United States Agency for International Development headquarters and confirmed that security guards had been told not to let employees in the building after operations were halted under the guidance of billionaire Elon Musk, chair of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

"About 20 years ago, when I first came to work for the federal government, I walked through these doors right behind me," Kim told reporters after trying to get into the building on Monday. "It was really tough today walking through these same doors 20-some years later only to see it shut down to employees."

President Donald Trump again referred to Elon Musk as "Leon" while admitting that the billionaire chief of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has access to the U.S. payments system.

While signing executive orders to create a sovereign wealth fund, Trump was asked why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Musk access to the federal payments system.

President Donald Trump's administration was expected to name a former White House speechwriter to a top State Department role even though he was previously fired for ties to white nationalists.

ABC News reported over the weekend that Darren Beattie, a speechwriter in Trump's first term, would take on the role of acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs. Beattie has promoted conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Fox News host Jon Scott over the weekend told GOP lawmaker and Trump ally Nancy Mace that "virtually every sector" of the economy would be impacted by Trump's policy.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) admitted that President Donald Trump's tariffs posed a "risk" of higher prices to U.S. consumers as Fox News host Jon Scott told her that "virtually every sector" of the economy would be impacted.

"This trade war that has erupted involving the US, Mexico, China and Canada, will it drive up consumer prices?" Scott asked after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on most goods from Canada and Mexico, with an additional 10% tariff on Chinese products.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro scolded Newsmax host John Glasgow for suggesting President Donald Trump had started a trade war by imposing new 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

Vice President J.D. Vance suggested Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama ordered the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) "not to hire" white people.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney called out President Donald Trump after he blamed Wednesday's deadly plane crash on Biden-era policies that were "still in place."

After Trump held a press conference on the mid-air collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and a passenger airplane in Washington, D.C., Varney reacted by calling the president's address "sensational."

President Donald Trump suggested former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden were to blame for a deadly midair collision in Washington, D.C.

At a Thursday press conference to address the crash, Trump began by reading articles about how previous administrations had focused on "diversity" at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee suggested Thursday that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts could be to blame for a mid-air collision near Reagan Washington National Airport that was suspected of killing more than 60 people Wednesday night.

In an interview on Fox Business News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Ogles to react to the tragedy as a House Homeland Security Committee member.
