Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faces a malpractice lawsuit filed by twins Adam and Daniel Kaplan, alleging he forged their signatures on an engagement letter and dramatically over-billed them.

The Kaplans hired Blanche at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in 2022 for financial fraud defense, expecting discounted rates. Instead, the firm's first bill totaled $677,925, and by November 2022 they had paid $1.65 million with additional bills pending.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has lost his primary to state Attorney General Ken Paxton, capping off a weekslong runoff that saw two giants of Texas politics square off against each other.

The race was called shortly after 9 p.m. on Tuesday evening by CNN and the Associated Press.

Podcast host Joe Rogan expressed shock Monday on "The Joe Rogan Experience" at President Donald Trump's $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded "anti-weaponization" compensation fund, created through a $10 billion IRS lawsuit settlement.

The fund compensates Trump allies and January 6 Capitol rioters who claim wrongful prosecution under Former President Joe Biden's administration.

A Republican voter in Texas claimed on Tuesday that he had stopped supporting MAGA front-runner Ken Paxton in the state's Senate primary race after President Donald Trump endorsed him.

"I made one vote, and that was for [Sen. John] Cornyn," Rodney Hall, a Republican voter, told CNN's Arlette Saenz.

President Donald Trump has spent his political career building up an image of himself as a physically powerful and intimidating man, pollster Cornell Belcher told a panel on MS NOW's "The Weeknight" — and now his mounting health problems, barely assuaged by his latest physical results, and visible signs of aging, are bringing that down.

"We've seen him sort of taking that little five-minute nap while others are talking," said anchor and former Republican chair Michael Steele, who then put up images of Trump next to football players to drive home a key point. "Last April, the White House physician claimed that Donald Trump was six three, six foot three ... and 224 pounds. So let's take a look. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is six feet four, 229 pounds. He has 4 percent body fat. Donald Trump claims the doctor said he has 5 percent body fat."

Long-time journalist Dan Rather warned President Donald Trump in a new Substack essay on Tuesday that the president faces a "humiliating" loss in Iran, one that would leave "irreversible damage" in its wake.

Trump has claimed on multiple occasions that the U.S. is winning the war in Iran because the country's bombing campaigns took out Iran's top political and military leaders and have decimated Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure. For instance, Trump claimed on Truth Social on April 9 that he had achieved a "real victory" in Iran because Iran "will never have a nuclear weapon."

President Donald Trump is making a rare trip to Camp David on Wednesday, just 24 hours after his third Walter Reed Medical Center visit in 13 months, sparking speculation about the timing and purpose.

The trip to the secluded presidential retreat will include top administration officials, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, reported The New York Post. It will take place amid ongoing and strained peace negotiations with Iran.

A federal district judge under the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has received a "private reprimand" from a judicial conduct committee for allegedly carrying on an extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer in chambers, and "in earshot of law clerks," according to Bloomberg Law.

The specific judge at the center of the allegations has not been publicly identified.

A physician flagged multiple warning signs in President Donald Trump's latest semi-annual physical exam on Tuesday.

Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, a former White House physician and author of "Transforming Presidential Healthcare," joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to discuss the results of Trump's latest physical. Trump claimed on Truth Social that his exam went "perfectly," but Kuhlman noted several aspects that needed further attention.
