President Donald Trump's decision to pardon entertainment titan Tim Leiweke this week may have been sparked by a recent “round of golf” with Leiweke’s attorney, who reportedly brought up his client’s case to the president between swings, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

Leiweke was indicted in July related to a felony charge for attempting to rig the bid for a $375 million basketball arena in Texas, bragging to his colleagues at the time that he had been “very clever” at having “scared” other bidders away from the project, an admission that prosecutors felt ran afoul of antitrust laws.

The security of the US grows weaker by the day as some of the highest-profile members of Donald Trump’s cabinet are spending too much time playing to the MAGA crowd for “clicks’ and adulation, and not taking their jobs seriously.

Appearing on MS NOW with host Ali Velshi, former Naval College professor Tom Nichols, who has called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s immediate firing, added DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel to his list of the worst offenders in Trump’s rogues’ gallery of officials.

Republican megadonor Hal Lambert squirmed Saturday when pressed on the Trump administration’s potentially “illegal” boat strikes in September that critics say may have constituted a war crime, refusing to answer a direct question multiple times during an appearance on CNN’s “Table for Five.”

“They hit the boat the first time, and they're obviously trying to kill the people on the boat, that's the whole purpose of bombing things!” Lambert said, defending the Trump administration’s actions.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was raked over the coals on Saturday morning for changing his tune on the Washington, DC, pipe bomber after spending years spreading conspiracy theories that have now fallen flat after an arrest.

As a podcaster, the now-senior FBI official claimed the attempted attack was an “inside job,” telling his fans, “It is a Democrat insider or an anti-Trump lunatic who was trying to stop on Jan. 6, four years ago, the Republicans from objecting to the election. So they figured if they planted a bomb there that they could rush into the Capitol and go, ‘Stop the objections! Kamala Harris was almost killed by you!’”

A Somali immigrant who aggressively campaigned for President Donald Trump in 2024 is severing all ties with the president over his recent remarks where he referred to Somali migrants as “garbage,” condemning them as “racist” in an appearance Saturday on CNN.

“It was very dehumanizing and very un-presidential coming from the commander in chief to dehumanize an entire community by calling them garbage,” said Salman Fiqy, who immigrated to the United States from Somalia in 2009. “This is not acceptable by any means.

With a series of critical cases still to be heard, the six conservative justices seated on the Supreme Court were admonished by the New York Times editorial board that they need to listen to one of their own and rein in Donald Trump.

In an editorial published Saturday morning, the board pointed out that the lower courts have done a better job of explaining their rulings — many of them restraining the president’s worse impulses — than the nation's highest court which has been hiding behind the so-called content-less “shadow docket.”

Lourdes Ubieta, a conservative radio host from Miami, Florida and major backer of President Donald Trump, said recently that if it took sending U.S. troops – which may include her own son and cousin – to Venezuela to enact regime change, then the Trump administration should “go for it.”

“If to free Venezuela and for the best interest of the national security of the U.S., you need to do it, you go for it,” Ubieta told The Washington Post in its report published on Saturday, telling the outlet that she would support a full U.S. invasion of the South American nation as a last resort.

President Donald Trump snapped at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Saturday morning over being asked about the price tag of his White House ballroom, the cost of which has increased by at least $100 million since first announced.

“Caitlin Collin’s of Fake News CNN, always Stupid and Nasty, asked me why the new Ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, spelling Collins’ name incorrectly.

Donald Trump started off his Saturday morning by flipping out on the hosts and producers of Fox and Friends for booking a guest who pushed back at the president's insistence that he has turned the economy around.

The president, who stayed in snowy Washington, DC, this weekend, took to his Truth Social account to complain about the appearance of Peter Schiff, a financial commentator and radio personality who has been raising alarms about America’s affordability crisis.

Donald Trump is facing increasing sniping from members of his own party that he is ignoring the mood of the country when it comes to the economy and voters turn on him.

According to a report from the Washington Post’s Naftali Bendavid, the president is now faced with a “new reality” that he can no longer convince even some of his most ardent supporters that his words are turning into deeds as prices rise and he ridicules the idea of “affordability.”
