MAGA media star Megyn Kelly eviscerated Donald Trump, blasting his administration's catastrophic handling of the Jeffrey Epstein controversy as a series of "unforced errors" that left her with zero sympathy for the embattled president.

Kelly didn't hold back during her appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, unleashing a withering critique of Trump's tone-deaf response to an explosive DOJ announcement that debunked conspiracy theories about Epstein's 2019 prison death — theories firmly believed by the president's MAGA base.

President Donald Trump is finding out the hard way what happens when a chief executive destroys the government's credibility.

The president installed loyalists at the top of his cabinet-level agencies, especially at the Department of Justice, where his former impeachment lawyer Pam Bondi serves as attorney general and his former criminal defense lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove serve as her deputies, and former federal prosecutor Daniel Richman published a column in the New York Times saying their close ties to Trump has created major problems for himself.

The Trump Justice Department has removed two of its top antitrust officials amid infighting over the handling of merger enforcement, conflict that came to a head with the DOJ's strange and allegedly corrupt settlement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks.

CBS News reported that Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement, were fired for "insubordination" on Monday after being placed on administrative leave last week.

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to place Donald Trump beyond the reach of law looks worse with every passing week, according to a legal expert, and Chief Justice John Roberts may be remembered as the last person to hold his position.

The court's right-wing majority ruled in favor of the president, who was then cruising to the Republican presidential nomination last summer, in Trump v. United States, granting him broad immunity against the criminal charges he faced at the time for attempting to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election. Law professor Gene Nichol published a column for The State shaming the chief justice as a coward.

Donald Trump rolled out an attempt at a Scottish brogue Tuesday as he gave an impression of James Bond legend Sean Connery during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his newest golf course.

The president was hawking his new Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire when he launched into an attempt at a Scottish accent, complete with a tale about the late actor's supposed intervention on his behalf — the accuracy of which is widely questioned.

President Donald Trump is furious that lawmakers and influencers aren't showing the loyalty that he believes he's owed as he struggles to contain the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" panelists.

The president has been unable to change the subject away from his relationship with the late sex offender, despite ordering his followers to stop asking questions about the matter and accusing his political rivals of crimes. The "Morning Joe" commentators were astonished by his attempted denials.

President Trump embarrassed the U.S. on the world stage with a “self-obsessed and deeply weird” performance during his trip to Scotland, a columnist opined.

And, wrote USA Today’s Rex Huppke, it showed international leaders that America was being led by a man “in obvious mental decline.”

Late-night giant Stephen Colbert took a fresh dig at Donald Trump Monday, just days after having his show canceled in what is widely believed to be retribution for previous criticism.

The “Late Show” host mocked Trump’s dealings with the European Union while in Scotland over the weekend, claiming one leader knew exactly how to play the president.

Jeffrey Epstein's former accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, appears to have concocted a plan to get herself out of jail, according to reports.

But one analyst suggests that the plan could backfire spectacularly if Maxwell isn't careful to avoid some traps she seems to be setting for herself.

Lawyers with the liberal watchdog group Democracy Defenders Fund are using a surprise tactic against the Trump administration to compel the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a new report.

Norm Eisen, a former Obama White House ethics chief and DDF co-founder, told The Daily Beast on Monday that the group has already filed a sweeping Freedom of Information Act request. While the Department of Justice probably anticipated that request, Eisen suggested that the government gave DDF an ace to play.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow spent Monday evening describing how Republicans used North Carolina as a "testing ground" for underhanded tactics to strip power from elected Democrats, following the announcement that former Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) will run for Senate, bolstering Democrats' candidate roster for the 2026 midterms.

"This man has been through some things, some things that qualify him, perhaps uniquely, for this moment in Washington," said Maddow. "He has served in North Carolina. He has not served in Washington. But he brings an experience, a level of political experience to Washington. If he wins this race, which is, again, perhaps uniquely suited to this moment."

President Donald Trump's attempts to install a loyalist in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey have sewn chaos in the criminal court system, according to a new report.

Politico reported Monday that Trump's attempts to place his former attorney, Alina Habba, in the New Jersey prosecutor's office threaten to upend up to 1,500 criminal cases. Desiree Leigh Grace, a career prosecutor who the New Jersey courts selected to fill the seat after Habba's temporary role had concluded, is listed as the counsel of record for "several dozen" active cases, according to the outlet.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) drew fury this month when he cheered on the mass death going on in Gaza under Israeli occupation, saying that Palestinian civilians should "starve away" until the remaining Hamas hostages are released. He got into a feud with Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), an ardent support of Israel himself, who called Fine a “bloated, braindead, blithering idiot who has no business being in Congress,” and was below the title of “jester” as that would be “an insult to jesters who have more brain cells.”

And it's not just Democrats who are fed up with Fine's antics.
