Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world's richest man in the world, Elon Musk, but the President-elect's fan base is lashing out at Musk's social network.

The apparent origin of the controversy is the blow-up between Musk himself, who advocated for legal immigration policies that benefit his companies, and many in the MAGA base, who hope to curtail all types of incoming immigrants.

If you're relying on Donald Trump to help you in the wake of disasters, like the fires that are raging in Los Angeles, don't hold your breath, says a member of Trump's own family Saturday.

Trump's niece, Mary Trump, is a trained psychologist who has criticized her family in the past. She weighed in on Trump's response to the fires over the weekend, calling out her uncle's decision to instantly attack California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Donald Trump's own supporters on Saturday lashed out as the President-elect announced the nomination of a contributor to Project 2025.

Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign distanced himself from Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation's blueprint for a Republican presidential administration. The project was found by polls to be devastating for Republicans, and Trump did what he could to disassociate from those who headed it.

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law is reportedly hinting at a high-profile new position in the incoming administration.

Trump was instrumental in installing Lara as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee. She announced in December she would step down from that role, but there may be something else on the horizon, she told a conservative outlet over the weekend.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who spearheaded multiple criminal cases against Donald Trump, has reportedly resigned from the Department of Justice.

A former Republican insider on Saturday questioned the motivations of Donald Trump, citing seemingly "arbitrary" moves the President-elect has been making.

A Donald Trump ally said he told the President-elect to his face that he and other GOP lawmakers "do not want" an idea Trump has floated in several interviews.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) was floated by Trump as a potential vice presidential candidate before J.D. Vance was ultimately selected, and Donalds frequently defends the former and incoming president in interviews on TV.

According to a former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief, Attorney General Merrick Garland can resolve his dilemma over the release of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Donald Trump's stolen government documents with a simple instruction to his Department of Justice.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Katie Phang on Saturday afternoon, ex-prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed Garland's decision to release the report to select lawmakers is wrongheaded and easily fixed.

At issue, she noted to the host, is Garland's fears that information revealed in the report could impact the potential trials of Trump associates Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira which is currently under appeal after being shut down by Trump appointee Judge Aileen Cannon.

According to Greenberg, "Merrick Garland has, you know, made I think, a really bad call here. He said, 'Well, because this appeal of Cannon's dismissal of the case, as to those two co-defendants is still going on, because that's pending, we're not going to publicly release the classified documents volume, and we're just going to share it with certain members of congress privately, because releasing it publicly could potentially prejudice those two co-defendants.'"

"Well," she added. "In nine days, that case against those two co-defendants is going away. Trump is going to have his DOJ drop that appeal, so why not just drop the case against them, drop that appeal against them now? And then you can release this report."

"It's silly, it's not pragmatic," she added.
