Judge Dale Ho has ordered New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Justice Department to meet in his court Wednesday to discuss the motion to dismiss the government's case against the Democrat. Legal analysts are shocked as the case moves forward.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday criticized U.S.-Russia talks for excluding Kyiv, saying efforts to end the war must be "fair" and involve European countries including Turkey.

With near-daily plane crashes, rising grocery bills, and massive infectious disease outbreaks erupting throughout the United States, CNN's John Berman on Tuesday questioned the wisdom of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) proposing to make President Donald Trump's birthday a federal holiday.

While interviewing Republican strategist Joseph Pinion, Berman asked if crafting such proposals was really the best use of the congresswoman's time.

Former special counsel Jack Smith joined more than 900 federal prosecutors in signing a letter that warned President Donald Trump could eliminate a Watergate-era office that fights corruption at the Department of Justice.

"Like you, each of us devoted years of our professional lives to pursuing justice on behalf of the American people," the letter said. "As prosecutors, we were rightly prohibited from making criminal charging decisions based on someone's political association, activities or beliefs, or because of our personal feelings about them. We knew it was impermissible to treat a defendant more leniently just because they were powerful or well-connected, or more harshly because they were not."

Pro-MAGA television host Trish Regan criticized the White House after it claimed that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) allegedly discovered that "tens of millions" of dead people were receiving Social Security checks.

"I've been fighting fake news reporters all day long here in the Washington, D.C. swamp who are trying to fear-monger the American people into believing that this administration is going after their hard-earned tax dollars and their hard-earned Social Security checks," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday.

The U.S. Senate is expected to confirm Wall Street billionaire Howard Lutnick as commerce secretary Tuesday, a key step towards the rollout of President Donald Trump's "America First" trade policy with tariffs used as a broad negotiation tool.

Russia and the United States will name teams to negotiate a path to ending the war in Ukraine, the powers decided on Tuesday in discussions that drew a rebuke from Kyiv over its exclusion.

Washington noted European nations would have to have a seat at the negotiating table "at some point", after the first high-level official Washington-Moscow talks since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has adamantly insisted he never made any quid pro quo arrangement with Justice Department officials in the Donald Trump administration on immigration policy in exchange for the public corruption case against him being dismissed. But a newly revealed letter from Adams' lawyers to the DOJ sharply undercuts this assertion.

The letter, flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney, was sent out on February 3, but was only today filed on the federal court docket — and it appears to directly argue to the DOJ that Adams' indictment is an obstacle to arresting and deporting unauthorized immigrants in New York City.

The head of the United States Department of Justice criminal division in Washington D.C. has abruptly quit her post, CNN is reporting.

Sources tell the network that longtime DOJ veteran Denise Cheung stepped down from her post "a day after President Donald Trump announced his nominee to lead the prosecutor’s office, Ed Martin, who has supported unwinding all January 6 criminal cases that the office brought."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called out Donald Trump's former military leaders for remaining silent against the now-president's autocratic moves.

The "Morning Joe" host echoed comments from his colleague Nicolle Wallace, who said "no one's coming to save anybody" after seeing Presidents' Day demonstrations against the administration and its cuts to the government, and realizing that few prominent people have been willing to speak out against the president.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) insisted that Pete Buttigieg "has no right to say anything" about plane crashes — despite his experience as the nation's former secretary of transportation.

Mullin lashed out at the former transportation secretary in a Tuesday Fox News interview after Buttigieg demanded to know how many FAA personnel President Donald Trump had fired before a plane crash on Monday.
