A lawyer was floored on Sunday as he discussed how the GOP's scheme to ignore the deposition of a potential co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein's backfired on the president.

Last week, the House Oversight Committee held a nearly five-hour deposition of Leslie Wexner, the former CEO of Victoria's Secret. Not a single Republican attended the deposition hearing, where Wexner denied any involvement in Epstein's crimes and argued that he was "conned" out of the nearly $200 million that he paid Epstein for real estate and tax services throughout their relationship.

FBI Director Kash Patel found himself in hot water on Sunday after he made a post on social media that undercut a claim his agency made about his travel to the Olympic Games in Milan.

Last Thursday, NBC News reported that Patel planned to travel to Milan to watch the US men's hockey team play in the gold medal game against Canada. Ben Williamson, a spokesperson for Patel's agency, said on X that NBC News' report included a "false" theory that Patel was traveling to the game on the taxpayers' dime and demanded that the outlet correct the story.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest workout video was roasted by observers on Sunday.

Hegseth posted a video of himself lifting weights with military troops on Saturday, in which it appeared the Defense Secretary was bench pressing 315 pounds. Hegseth can be seen screaming and yelling alongside troops as he re-racked the weights after doing a single rep.

Attorney General Pam Bondi may be much closer to being impeached than she thinks, according to one expert.

About two weeks ago, Bondi attended a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee about the Trump Department of Justice's efforts to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, as they are required to do by federal law. Bondi appeared combative during the hearing and refused to acknowledge survivors of Epstein's crimes.

Trump administration insiders are working behind the scenes to create an "off-ramp" for the president after he made his latest threat to strike a foreign country, a new report revealed on Sunday.

President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that he is considering a limited strike against Iran if the country does not agree to a deal to curb its nuclear program. Iranian officials said they are completing a "draft plan" and will submit it to Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, within the next few days, the BBC reported.

Current and former Republicans seethed about President Donald Trump during a half-empty conservative summit over the weekend, according to reports.

Conservatives organized the sixth annual Principles First summit just outside Washington, D.C., on Saturday and Sunday, an event estimated to draw around 750 attendees, the Associated Press reported. No currently elected Republican official attended the two-day event, which the AP said was about "half empty."

C-SPAN addressed rumors that swirled on Sunday, claiming that President Donald Trump called the station last week to complain about the Supreme Court's ruling against his tariff regime.

On Friday, someone who identified themselves as "John Barron" called C-SPAN to complain after the Supreme Court ruled by a 6-3 margin that Trump's tariffs were illegal. Listeners speculated that it was the president calling because the caller used the name "John Barron" to identify himself.

The Mexican Embassy in the U.S. bashed a Trump ally on Sunday over her "false" claims about a recent operation to capture a cartel leader.

On Sunday, the Mexican army killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho," the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, during an operation to try and capture him, according to reports. Mexican officials said the operation was conducted with aid from U.S. intelligence officials. The operation set off "several hours of roadblocks" that included burning vehicles in Jalisco and other states, PBS News reported.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) held her own in a recent interview with NewsNation’s Leland Vittert in defending her calls for accountability with respect to President Donald Trump and the serious allegations leveled against him involving Jeffrey Epstein.

Stansbury was confronted Friday by Vittert over a social media post she made last week that referenced the recent arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former British prince who was briefly jailed over his past ties to Epstein.

A prominent economist thrashed President Donald Trump's "best story" about the U.S. economy during a new interview on Sunday.

Last week, Trump claimed that he had "won affordability" during a speech in Rome, Georgia. But that claim appears to contradict the latest economic data released by his administration, which showed that U.S. economic growth slowed to 2.2% in 2025 from 2.8% in 2024, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Meanwhile, inflation increased more than expected in December, Reuters reported.

The Supreme Court’s stunning ruling Friday that President Donald Trump’s tariffs were unlawful may very well have set the Republican Party up for failure in the upcoming midterm elections, a Wall Street Journal report published on Saturday suggested.

Within hours of the court’s ruling, Trump vowed to pursue alternative methods for imposing his so-called reciprocal tariffs on other nations, and less than 24 hours later, hiked global tariffs from 10% to 15%. And, while Trump has yet to provide full details as to what those “alternatives” may look like, the Journal noted that all options available to him would set his trade policy “on a collision course with the midterm campaign season.”
