Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top Democratic lawmaker on the House Oversight Committee, weaponized Republicans’ own tactic against them Friday in his demand for President Donald Trump to be dragged before Congress to testify to his knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein.

Garcia made the remarks in Chappaqua, New York, ahead of a closed-door House Oversight Committee hearing at which former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify about his knowledge of Epstein, who visited the White House at least 17 times during the Clinton administration. Clinton had also flown on Epstein’s private jet several times in the early 2000s.

Senate Democrats served the Trump administration notice that refunds should start flowing to U.S. companies who paid for the president's tariffs.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other top Democrats, including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent demanding tariff refunds begin immediately following Supreme Court's bombshell ruling that struck down President Donald Trump's tariff regime, reported Punchbowl News.

The U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone in Texas, forcing the closure of more airspace near El Paso, and CNN's Pete Muntean tried to explain what happened.

It's not yet clear why the laser was used against the drone – the second such instance in two weeks in that area – but the incident again shows a breakdown in communication between the military and the Federal Aviation Administration, which is required to receive notification of counter-drone activity within U.S. airspace.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani seems well positioned to win President Donald Trump’s support for tens of billions of dollars in federal housing grants, a breakthrough observers say he achieved through what one called an “insultingly easy” use of flattery.

Mamdani had his second meeting with Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, during which he asked the president to approve $21 billion in federal grants to support a housing project that would see the construction of 12,000 price-controlled apartment units, Politico reported.

CNN's John Berman pressed Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to explain why Hillary Clinton's testimony about Jeffrey Epstein was necessary but Melania Trump's was not.

The former first lady told lawmakers Thursday that she could not recall ever meeting the late sex offender, but the current first lady appears in many photos with Epstein and his now-imprisoned co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, both of whom were friends at one time with President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s inability to get past the questions about his relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein can be placed directly at the feet of Attorney General Pam Bondi over her seemingly unending series of blunders with the Epstein files, according to MS NOW hosts.

According to the co-hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” the Trump appointee has not only damaged the credibility of the agency she heads, but has dragged down the president and the Republican Party with her.

Testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton as part of the congressional probe into the Jeffrey Epstein case opens the door for the current president and first lady to talk about their own ties to the late sex offender.

Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she did not recall ever meeting the well-connected financier who died in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Bill Clinton is expected to testify about his relationship with Epstein – a former friend of President Donald Trump and an associate of Melania Trump.
