President Donald Trump just revealed "what keeps him up at night" after dangling pardons for all of his administration officials, according to one expert.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has promised to sign mass pardons for administration officials before leaving office. Michael Popok, a lawyer and host of the "Legal AF" podcast, said in a new episode on Sunday that the report shows Trump is clearly aware that he is running a "criminal enterprise" out of the White House and that he fears being prosecuted by a future Democratic Department of Justice more than anything else at this point in his second administration.

"Donald Trump knows he's running a criminal enterprise when the Wall Street Journal just reported that he's joking again about giving everybody in his administration a pardon," Popok said.

"I'm not sure he sleeps, or how he sleeps. I think he sleeps in a coffin at night. But the thing that keeps Donald Trump up at night would be him or others around him being criminally prosecuted, investigated by the future Department of Justice," he added.

Popok added that he would not be surprised if a future DOJ investigation into Trump tested the limits of the Supreme Court's recent presidential immunity decision. He argued that the decision further blurred the line between public and private presidential conduct and that a future DOJ may be willing to test its limits.

"That immunity decision is just waiting to be challenged and tested and to have the Supreme Court either roll it back, nip it, tuck it in, or revisit it," Popok said. "And the only way you can do that is with a prosecution. So I envision ... there will be an investigation prosecution of Donald Trump when he leaves office, with a statute of limitations that's remaining to get a case back to the Supreme Court, depending upon who's up there to see what happens with that immunity decision."

President Donald Trump's latest effort to settle the war with Iran proves that he is "the most powerful idiot in the history of the world," according to one columnist.

David Rothkopf, a columnist at The Daily Beast, argued in a new column on Sunday that Trump's decision to impose a retaliatory blockade on the Strait of Hormuz showed the president is operating with the "strategic acumen of a four-year-old in a fight on a pre-school playground."

The Iranian regime has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. and Israel launching a coordinated bombing campaign across Iran in late February. The closure has sent global energy prices skyrocketing.

"He is undoubtedly the most powerful idiot in the history of the world," Rothkopf wrote.

"Both his idiocy and his power are unparalleled. On the latter point, his position as president and commander-in-chief of the most dominant, potent nation confirms that no idiot since the beginning of time has ever been in a position to do so much damage to so many people as a consequence of his idiocy," he added.

"On the prior point, just look at the record," Rothkopf continued. "The misbegotten, ill-considered, going-from-bad-freaking-worse every damn day War with Iran illustrates Trump’s manifold mental deficiencies with shocking clarity—and, unfortunately for all of us, the damage he is doing seems certain to touch more lives in more egregious ways going forward than it already has."

First lady Melania Trump's niece-in-law, Mary Trump, bashed her aunt's "cruel" comments about her relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein during a new podcast interview on Sunday.

Last Thursday, Melania Trump held a seemingly impromptu press conference at the White House, where she denied ever having a relationship with Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. Her comments came at a suspicious time for her husband's administration, which is trying to navigate an unseemly war with Iran and avoid discussing its poor handling of the release of the Epstein files.

During the press conference, Melania Trump said the "lies" about her being friends with Epstein and Maxwell need to stop. Her comments caused analysts and observers to recall the multiple emails released as part of the Epstein files that appear to paint their relationship in a different light than what Melania Trump portrayed.

Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, described her aunt's comments as "unfathomable" on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles.

"It seems unfathomable that she didn't have to get permission to do this," Mary Trump said. "So why would Donald's people think this was a good idea? Unless, of course, and this has been the joke going around, he's trying to distract from Iran."

Mary Trump added that Melania's comments were insensitive to the survivors of Epstein's crimes.

"They have demonstrated a kind of unthinkable bravery in the face of intense opposition from the president of the United States," Mary Trump said. "So, to say that they need to do more and she has nothing to do with it was just cruel and insulting."
