President Donald Trump sought to target Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) after the lawmaker served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 probe and worked on both impeachment cases. That effort has reportedly hit a brick wall, however.

Last week, MSNBC revealed that the Maryland prosecutor who went after former National Security Advisor John Bolton was stuck on the Schiff case, so she pivoted to focus more on Bolton. Now it appears the Schiff case has stalled entirely.

President Donald Trump said he pardoned Changpeng Zhao, a billionaire who boosted a crypto company owned by the Trump family, because "a lot of people" said he was innocent.

During a Thursday Oval Office event, a reporter asked whether Zhao's pardon had anything to do with his family's World Liberty Financial crypto venture.

President Donald Trump's immigration agents received a stern warning from an Illinois official on Thursday after it was discovered that the agents are tampering with their license plates to avoid detection, according to a new report.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, a Democrat, unveiled a new initiative this week called the “Plate Watch” hotline, which asks residents to report times when they witness Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents switching out their license plates, The Guardian reported.

President Donald Trump's criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James was thoroughly flattened in a prosecution memo drafted by people who had investigated the case for months, reported ABC News on Thursday.

The controversy stems from a second home James purchased, which Trump's housing finance director, Bill Pulte, claimed was made with fraudulent statements on a mortgage application.

Under orders from President Donald Trump, the FBI has started visiting the homes of innocent protesters, according to a report.

In one case, special needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, told independent journalist Ken Klippenstein that agents visited his home after he participated in a June protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Arizona. The two agents, who only identified themselves as "James" and "Keith", were recorded on Serafini's security camera.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday that President Donald Trump's "main priority" at the moment is constructing a $200 million ballroom addition to the White House.

When she was asked whether Trump had any plans for additional White House renovations, she replied, "Not to my knowledge, no, but he's a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is down 9 points in the Virginia gubernatorial race, but in a new statement, she says Democrats are "desperate" to stop her.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, a Democrat, and Speaker Don Scott, also a Democrat, asked that lawmakers return to Richmond to navigate redistricting matters.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that a White House ballroom was President Donald Trump's "main priority" despite an ongoing government shutdown.

During Thursday's White House briefing, CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang asked Leavitt if the administration's position was that "the president tears down anything he wants without oversight." The question came hours after crews completed the unexpected demolition of the White House's East Wing.

President Donald Trump's former White House aide shredded him for demolishing the East Wing of the iconic, centuries-old building that represents the American presidency, and warned the project "reeks of bribery and corruption."

Speaking to MSNBC's Chris Jansing, former Trump deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews sounded the alarm about the "corruption" involved in the project itself.
