Hailing him as an “eminent physician” who can “Make America Healthy Again,” President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will nominate television doctor Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as its administrator.

Trump, who endorsed Oz in his failed race for Pennsylvania Senate two years ago, said the cardiothoracic surgeon will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who the incoming president tapped last week to serve as his next administration’s Health and Human Services secretary. Both Kennedy and Oz would require Senate confirmation to make it into their new roles.

President-elect Trump's sentencing in his criminal hush money trial was put on pause Tuesday, according to a new report.

Axios reported Judge Juan Merchan adjourned the sentencing, slated to take place in New York City on Nov. 26, as he considers how to move forward after Trump's Election Day victory.

President-elect Donald Trump is working the phones on behalf of his would-be attorney general Matt Gaetz — but he's admitting privately there's a good chance it won't work, according to reports.

The controversial choice — a former congressman who is the subject of an Ethics committee probe and has called for the abolishment of the Department of Justice — is proving a tough sell to Republican senators.

A "Morning Joe" show insider claims the hosts' controversial visit with President-elect Donald Trump may have played a part in saving a free press.

Joe Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski took flak Monday after announcing they’d taken a trip to Mar-a-Lago for a face-to-face visit with the incoming president.

Donald Trump and his allies are floating the idea of major cuts to Medicaid and the food stamp program in order to offset some of the budget deficits created by their desired new round of tax cuts for the rich, reported The Washington Post on Monday.

The new tax cuts are a huge priority for Trump and his allies — in particular extending the provisions of a 2017 tax cut bill that are set to expire. The corporate tax cuts in that bill were made permanent, aside from some subsequent tweaks to corporate taxes made under the Biden administration, but the individual income tax cuts are set to run out at the end of next year.

The hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" called their recent visit to President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago an opportunity to bridge a political divide.

Their critics called it kissing the ring.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet in person with Donald Trump for the first time in years.

The pair had previously been friends with the former star of NBC's "The Apprentice," but their relationship soured after they repeatedly criticized Trump during his first presidency and afterward. They said they visited his private resort in Palm Beach, Florida, in an attempt to bury the hatchet.

"The press freedom fire is at our door step now," said one Washington Post journalist on Thursday night after news broke that two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office, he has already begun to wage legal warfare on the news media.

The Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) reported that days before the election, a lawyer for Trump, Edward Andrew Paltzik, sent a letter to The New York Times and Penguin Random House demanding $10 billion in damages for publishing articles and a book that were critical of the president-elect, who was convicted of 34 felony counts earlier this year.

Donald Trump announced Thursday that he's nominating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services — and the reaction hit fast.

Kennedy is an open conspiracy theorist who, among other things, has shared his belief that vaccines cause autism. He also seeks to remove fluoride from drinking water, and wants to close down the Food and Drug Administration, which oversees the safety of drugs and food for the American people.
