A nonprofit that raises money for a San Diego County high school district is under fire for renting out one school's gym for a “punishment” game show that featured racist attacks, profanity and bondage-themed penalties for participants.

Department of Justice lawyers complained that a recent court ruling has effectively paralyzed their ability to seek a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.

In a court filing on Tuesday, DOJ attorneys Todd Blanche and Lindsey Halligan asked the court to dissolve a temporary restraining order preventing them from using electronic communications seized from Comey confidante Daniel Richman.

An exchange between Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Donald Trump's Solicitor General D. John Sauer briefly silenced the U.S. Supreme Court chamber Tuesday.

Sauer argued in Trump v. Slaughter – a case that could redefine the limits of presidential power over independent agencies and give the Trump more authority to fire officials – that the Constitution vests full removal authority in the president and that a 90-year precedent insulating officials inside those agencies should be discarded — showing how far the government intended to take the challenge, reported Newsweek.

Officials working for President Donald Trump in the Department of the Treasury have stepped forward to help Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk refute fraud claims made by MAGA influencer Candace Owens.

Sources told CBS News that the Treasury Department took the unusual step of sending a letter to Kirk after Owens made claims about Turning Point USA donations. According to the report, a few donors had requested that their contributions be returned.

A complaint by Donald Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s wife that their family had been victimized by protesters making what were described as “terroristic” threats fell apart on Tuesday with the release of a police incident report that pointed out that she had made much ado about nothing.

According to a report from Zeteo, Katie Miller, a former Trump administration functionary who has traded on her husband’s name to launch a career as a podcaster, had called police because she feared protesters outside their home, now listed for sale at $3.75 million.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced backlash after a new military artificial intelligence website appeared to fail immediately.

"The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI," Hegseth said in an announcement posted to X on Tuesday. "And that's why today we are unleashing genAI.mil. This platform puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

A debate on racism, sexism, and in-context quotations erupted Tuesday over a bill that would make Charlie Kirk only the second person — after Ronald Reagan — to be comemmorated in Florida statute.

Republican Sen. Jonathan Martin would memorialize Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, as “Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance.” It comes three months after Kirk, a 31-year-old podcaster and right-wing debater, was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University.

President Donald Trump is traveling to a swing district in eastern Pennsylvania as he makes an effort to reassure voters that he cares about an issue he has dismissed as a "Democratic hoax."

Polls show a majority of Americans feel that Trump hasn't carried through on his campaign promise to lower prices, and increasing numbers of Americans are concerned about the economy and affordability, so the president is hitting the road in hopes of staving off an electoral wipeout for Republicans in next year's midterm elections, reported CNN.

A Utah man who was pardoned for firing a gun inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has been jailed in a kidnapping and sexual assault case.

On Tuesday, a Utah court ordered John Banuelos held in jail until a January hearing. Banuelos was charged with kidnapping and sexual assault in November after DNA collected during the Jan. 6 prosecutions was matched with a cold case in Utah.

A federal judge slammed the Trump administration Tuesday for “misleading” both victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the American public in what some critics have called a ploy of distraction.

New York District Judge Paul Engelmayer approved Tuesday the Justice Department’s request to unseal the court records of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking victims for Epstein. In his ruling, however, Engelmayer torched the DOJ’s request as an act of deception.
