'People don't believe him': CNN panel slams Trump admin's excuse for trade deal progress

President Donald Trump's administration made a significant promise to the American people that he's having a hard time keeping, according to some experts.

Trump's trade advisor, Peter Navarro, promised back in April that the administration would make 90 trade deals within 90 days. However, progress has been difficult to come by, to say the least. Now, Trump administration officials like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are beginning to change their tune.

Lawmaker warns Fox News exposed itself to lawsuits with edits: 'What did Trump tell them?'

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) warned on Monday's edition of MSNBC's "The Weeknight" that Fox News put itself in a position where it could be sued on exactly the same grounds as President Donald Trump's legal complaint against CBS — a case experts widely considered frivolous, but which CBS' parent company nonetheless settled, allegedly to avoid regulatory action against their merger.

"That Fox News interview where he was asked about this," said anchor Alicia Menendez. "You are concerned that they edited the files. He was asked if he would declassify the files. He says, yeah, yeah, I would, or at least that's how it appears in their edit. In the raw footage, Trump clearly refuses to unequivocally endorse full declassification. Why is that important to you?"

He noted that while some of these conversations are about policy, Trump also sometimes just wants to gossip.

'Empire of delusion': Ex-fixer tears into Trump's 'fantasies' that he helped build

President Donald Trump received a brutal fact check on Monday from one of his former close associates.

Michael Cohen, who was once described as Trump's "fixer," argued in an op-ed for MeidasTouch that Trump's approval rating proves the president is unpopular among wide swaths of Americans. That's despite Trump's repeated claims that his second term has been one of the most "consequential" in modern history, as one of his posts on Truth Social suggests.

'Debacle': 'Scared' GOP stuns with move to start summer break early

House Republicans are so terrified of being put on record either way with a vote on the exploding Jeffrey Epstein controversy that they are now talking about ending the session early and going on summer break to avoid it, congressional reporter Jamie Dupree posted to X on Monday.

"Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path," wrote Dupree. "For those not on Capitol Hill, this is a House GOP debacle. They are so scared of votes re: Epstein that they will punt most of this week's legislative schedule and start their summer break early."

'Recipe for disaster': ICE scolded by retired police chief over dangerous tactic

Retired police chief and Brown University professor Brandon del Pozo tore into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers for wearing masks and concealing their identities during President Donald Trump's immigration raids — and claimed their reasoning for doing so is nonsense.

"Let's get right to the heart of this," said anchor Melissa Murray. "ICE says that the masks are absolutely necessary to protect the safety of their agents and to prevent doxing. But you argue that anonymous policing poses even greater threats to society. Can you elaborate?"
