Attorney General Pam Bondi found herself scrambling to contain the political fallout after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hijacked her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein crisis and launched an uncoordinated attack on Barack Obama, according to several sources close to the AG.

Gabbard, reportedly desperate to repair her standing with Trump after being "excoriated" and excluded from recent meetings, suddenly demanded Bondi investigate what she called a "treasonous conspiracy" by Obama officials regarding the 2016 Russia investigation.

Elon Musk's decision to leave electoral politics behind is already causing headaches for some Republicans, according to a new report.

Musk announced in May that his time in politics had come to an end. The announcement followed multiple tumultuous months of power-wrangling between Musk and President Donald Trump. Even though the billionaire spent more than $250 million to help Trump and other Republicans get elected, he has since said that he isn't supporting any candidates in the primaries.

The Trump administration has been ignoring one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our generation, according to a CNN panel.

Israel's war in Gaza has been raging since October 7, 2023, with almost no end in sight. CNN anchor Abby Phillip asked the panel whether the images and videos of children starving in Gaza should be an inflection point in the war, one that gets the U.S. to assert more leverage over Israel to let more humanitarian aid into the country.

At least one GOP senator is starting to feel out of place within the party.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Thursday that the Republican Party she grew up supporting has become a party completely controlled by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Her comments come at a time when the Republican Party appears to be fracturing over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Maria Farmer, one of the many women assaulted by deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein in her youth as part of his trafficking operation, spoke out about how all of the explosion of controversy around the case is re-traumatizing her in an interview with MSNBC's Jen Psaki on Thursday — and she called out those trying to rehabilitate Epstein's convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for political purposes.

In recent days, as Trump's Justice Department interviews Maxwell in prison to try to deflect from the anger from their own base over the lack of transparency, some right-wing commentators have begun to push a narrative that Maxwell might have been railroaded, with Newsmax's Greg Kelly suggesting she might even be a victim herself.

Popular podcasters Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, who openly supported President Donald Trump during last year’s presidential election, are now criticizing him for refusing to release the Epstein files.

In an episode of their podcast Flagrant released Thursday, Schulz and Singh leveled scathing remarks at Trump, citing frustration with his handling of the controversy surrounding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes tore into MAGA influencers attempting to use the potential testimony of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, to build a narrative that excuses President Donald Trump's involvement in the scandal.

Hayes noted commentator Greg Kelly from the right-wing channel Newsmax, who said of Maxwell, "She just might be a victim. She just might be. There was a rush to judgment."

A new note has been unearthed that President Donald Trump reportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex trafficker and billionaire financier.

The New York Times reported Thursday evening that it confirmed Trump's name appeared on a contributor list for Epstein’s 50th birthday book.

President Donald Trump issued a blistering statement about the Jeffrey Epstein case after his lawyers met with one of Epstein's co-conspirators.

"The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America, results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history," Trump posted on Truth Social.

The Wall Street Journal has detailed the letters included in deceased wealth manager and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's 2003 birthday book by President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, both of whom considered him friends decades ago. But a number of other wealthy, famous, and powerful people were named in that same book, according to a new report released by the Journal on Thursday evening.

According to the report, besides the two presidents, "Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang and media owner Mort Zuckerman ... ended up with letters in the 2003 book," as well as "Victoria’s Secret leader Leslie Wexner, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and the late Jean-Luc Brunel, who ran a modeling agency."

Attorney General Pam Bondi's toughest days on the job may still be to come, according to a new report.

Politico spoke with multiple Republicans who were granted anonymity to discuss matters on Capitol Hill. Three Republicans told the outlet that Bondi may find herself at the mercy of a scorned GOP conference because of how she handled the Jeffrey Epstein files when lawmakers return to Washington, D.C. in September.

Reaction was swift Thursday evening, with progressives calling out right-wing accounts on social media after a new Wall Street Journal report revealed former President Bill Clinton was among dozens of powerful names who sent letters to the deceased sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell organized a leather-bound birthday album for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, years before he was convicted of sex crimes, the Journal reported. The album included letters from prominent figures, who were labeled in the book’s table of contents as “friends.” In addition to Clinton, other notable names included Donald Trump, then a private citizen and businessman, and Wall Street billionaire Leon Black. Fashion designer Vera Wang and media owner Mort Zuckerman were also included in the book.

President Donald Trump quietly released an executive order Thursday that advocates say will make homelessness worse.

The order, titled "Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets," directs multiple federal agencies to discontinue funding services such as Housing First, Safe Consumption Sites, and other harm reduction practices. It also directs states to detain people with serious mental illnesses regardless of "forensic bed capacity at appropriate local, State, and Federal jails or hospitals."
