Officials in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice overruled a senior military lawyer who warned that the administration's strikes on alleged drug traffickers in international waters could "legally expose" service members, according to a new report.

NBC News reported on Wednesday that the lawyer, who is unnamed in the report, serves as the senior judge advocate general, or JAG in military parlance, at U.S. Southern Command in Miami. The report adds that the lawyer began raising concerns about the strikes in August, but was overruled by officials at the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, citing six sources familiar with the matter.

"The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean, whom administration officials call 'narco-terrorists,' could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations," the report reads in part.

"The opinion of the top lawyer for the command overseeing a military operation is typically critical to whether or not the operation moves forward," it added. "While higher officials can overrule such lawyers, it is rare for operations to move forward without incorporating their advice."

A conservative political analyst on Wednesday gave a behind-the-scenes look at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) feud with President Donald Trump during a podcast interview.

SE Cupp joined Jamal Simmons on the "Politicon" podcast on Wednesday, where the two discussed Greene's recent breaks from Trump and the MAGA movement. For instance, Greene criticized the president's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and has called out the president for supporting tariff policies that she says are harming everyday Americans.

"This is personal," Cupp said. "This is about the fact that she's mad at Trump. She's mad at Trump for not letting her run for Senate or governor in Georgia."

Over the summer, some political analysts speculated that Greene would run for one of Georgia's two Democratic-held Senate seats. However, she decided not to run, which raised concerns among some experts that Trump may have pressured her to drop out of the race.

"You can go back, go on her Twitter, her ex, whatever, and go back to earlier this year, start in like April, and you'll find her talking about wanting to run for Senate and then governor, being told she can't and announcing she wouldn't, but but announcing it very reticently and with a lot of shade at like the good old boy network keeping her down and her disappointment in Trump and Republicans for getting in her way and not empowering her," Cupp added.

House Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday in moving to rip out a controversial measure that Senate Republicans snuck into the government funding package that allows them to sue the Justice Department for up to $500,000 over their phone records being seized.

The provision was quietly added to the government funding bill that ended the record-long shutdown and gave senators the ability to sue the Justice Department for each instance their office's data was subpoenaed without the required notification.

On Wednesday, House lawmakers moved to yank out the provision, voting 426-0 to have it nullified. CNN noted the provision's future remains murky, as Senate Majority Leader John Thune added it to the legislation at the request of several senators.
