President Donald Trump's Justice Department gave the green light last week to a controversial mega-acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN, by Paramount Skydance, a media giant with a Trump-friendly CEO. But reports suggest they may have rushed the process and ignored the opinions of career officials.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "A team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing the deal was leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that the combination of the two movie studios would be anticompetitive and violate antitrust law, the people said."

A law enforcement K-9 sniffed out a live explosive device inside a package at a Cleveland Homeland Security office complex.

Seven buildings at 925 Keynote Circle in Brooklyn Heights, Ohio, were evacuated Monday after the dog alerted investigators to a box containing the explosive, according to sources who spoke with the Fox 8 I-Team. No injuries were reported.

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) got a bit of good news on Monday as an Alaska elections official formally disqualified a candidate who had filed to run against him named Dan Sullivan.

However, the Battle of the Dans may not quite be over.

Former Trump administration White House attorney Ty Cobb was not at all shocked on Monday to hear reports that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is under federal investigation — but was saddened at the state of the Justice Department.

"I'm not surprised that [Newsom] would announce it," Cobb told MS NOW's Katy Tur, responding to the official video announcement from his office. "I think that's a smart move. There's no reason to hide it."

A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress went down on takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base, with emergency crews responding and the situation ongoing.

The crash was reported at about 11:20 a.m. at the base in California's Mojave Desert, roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Edwards Air Force Base confirmed the incident and said crews had immediately responded to the scene.

A Fox News host faced backlash after he said it was "remarkable" that President Donald Trump could walk during a G7 event in France.

John Roberts, co-anchor of "America Reports" on Fox News, remarked live Monday as Trump arrived at the Group of Seven summit in Évian-les-Bains — hours after footage circulated of the president apparently nodding off cage-side at his own White House UFC event.

The Trump administration has opened a criminal probe into California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, the governor announced on Monday.

According to The New York Times, a source close to the probe "said there were multiple federal investigations underway related to the governor, including one looking at his wife’s finances," and that federal law enforcement officials in California, rather than Trump appointees in D.C., opened the investigation "based on government witnesses offering information there."

Yet another of President Donald Trump's plans to transform Washington, D.C., in his own image has been hit with a lawsuit by preservation groups — this time over his plans to transform West Potomac Park, an area that includes several memorials, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.

Trump has plans to create what he calls a "National Garden of American Heroes" on the site, which has raised alarms about whether his renovations will respect the current memorials at the site.
