CBS News' newly-appointed right-wing chief, Bari Weiss, doubled down in an email to staff on her decision to delay a "60 Minutes" investigation into the way migrants President Donald Trump has sent to the Salvadoran CECOT megaprison are being tortured, some without having any criminal record or violation of the law whatsoever.

Weiss, who founded The Free Press, was given control of CBS as part of a Trump administration-approved merger between the network's parent company, Paramount, and Skydance.

"Right now, the majority of Americans say they do not trust the press. It isn't because they're crazy," wrote Weiss in the email, obtained by Prem Thakker of Zeteo News. "To win back their trust, we have to work hard. Sometimes that means doing more legwork. Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories. Sometimes it means training our attention on topics that have been overlooked or misconstrued. And sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair. In our upside-down moment, this may seem radical."

"Such editorial decisions can cause a firestorm, particularly on a slow news week," Weiss continued. "And the standards for fairness we are holding ourselves to, particularly on contentious subjects, will surely feel controversial to those used to doing things one way. But to fulfill our mission, it's necessary. No amount of outrage — whether from activist organizations or the White House — will derail us. We are not out to score points with one side of the political spectrum or to win followers on social media. We are out to inform the American public and to get the story right."

The email triggered a fresh wave of outrage on social media.

"Is that what Stephen Miller told her to say?" wrote attorney Brad Moss. "Bari has no educational background in journalism, nor has she ever done hard-hitting news beats. But ok," wrote Georgia-based constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis.

Despite Weiss's efforts to keep the "60 Minutes" story under wraps, it has been leaked and posted online, after a Canadian broadcaster aired it apparently by mistake.

Top Democrats on the foreign affairs and armed services committees sounded off against President Donald Trump's latest turn toward China in a recent letter, according to a new report.

Fox News reported on Wednesday that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) sent a letter to Under Secretary for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler on Monday regarding Trump's decision to allow Nvidia to sell its H200 chips to China.

In the letter, the lawmakers flagged that the decision to sell H200 chips, widely regarded as the standard-bearer for AI technologies, appears to violate the Export Control Reform Act of 2018. The law outlines conditions for selling technology to military adversaries.

"The President directing you to approve licenses of the H200 falls within a deeply concerning pattern that undercuts our nation’s security," the letter reads in part.

Trump's decision to green-light the sale of H200 chips to China comes at a precarious time in the two countries' relationship. The U.S. economy is beginning to recover from a trade war Trump initiated earlier this year, during which China halted purchases of U.S. soybeans. The move caused significant harm to American farmers and forced the administration to create a $12 billion bailout program for farmers.

"In ECRA, Congress stated the policy of the United States is ‘to restrict the export of items which would make a significant contribution to the military potential of any other country,'" the letter added.

"Approving licenses for items like NVIDIA’s H200 chips, which the Justice Department recently described as ‘integral to modern military applications,’ would be deeply at odds with the policy that Congress articulated in ECRA."

Podcast host Joe Rogan blasted President Donald Trump for distorting history with his so-called Presidential Walk of Fame.

During his Tuesday podcast, Rogan and comedian Tom Segura discussed recent changes at the White House.

"And he took out the Kennedy Rose Garden, and you're like, what?" Segura noted.

"There's nothing nuttier than the plaques underneath the presidents' names," Rogan offered. "Shane and I were just reading them the other day. How is this real? How are you allowed to do that? How is he allowed to write that?"

"They're gonna leave it like that forever," he continued. "Yeah, like a museum piece. They should have, like, the Trump wing. This is what happened when he was president."

Rogan argued that the Walk of Fame should include "facts" of the presidencies and that's all.

"Reagan liked Trump and Trump liked him too," Segura said, summarizing former President Ronald Reagan's plaque.

"Nut!" Rogan replied. "But you can't just let someone just f—king fully swim in it like that."

"Well, he's also losing it, too. You can tell," Segura remarked.

"I think everybody does when you get to a certain age," Rogan agreed.
