Top Trump aide demands left face ‘accountability’ for Kirk killing and MAGA's own misdeeds

Senior Trump White House Counselor Peter Navarro is raging at “they” — seemingly Democrats and the left — for consequences he and fellow MAGA allies have brought on themselves, including prison time. And he appeared to blame the left for the assassination of Charlie Kirk as well.

In a Fox Business interview, Navarro, who has promoted conspiracy theories, highlighted on Tuesday his prison sentence and that of Steve Bannon, both for contempt of Congress. Both were sentenced to several months in prison.

'Bad idea': Conservative predicts Pam Bondi is giving Dems 'ammunition' against Trump team

Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi is going to cause headaches for the administration, a conservative predicted on Saturday.

Andrew C. McCarthy, a senior fellow at National Review Institute, an NR contributing editor, and author of Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency, said over the weekend that Trump's pick for the top law enforcement official for the federal government was making a big mistake.

'Coup memo' author John Eastman hits back after disbarment recommendation

One of the key architects of Donald Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election spoke out on a judge's recommendation that he lose his law license in California due to “serious ethical violations.”

State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland said attorney John Eastman should be disbarred for making false claims, such as the notion that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the power to refuse to certify the election's results.

This 'necrotizing cancer' just made NBC defend Charlie Kirk's 'appalling movement': expert

NBC was forced to defend Charlie Kirk's "appalling movement" because it lost its integrity, according to an independent political strategist who worked on former President George W. Bush's campaign.

Political strategist Steve Schmidt, who has criticized Trump in the past, pointed to a letter that Comcast and NBC released to their employees. The letter, which was publicized over the weekend, said in part, "The tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old father, husband, and advocate for open debate, whose faith was important to him, reminds us of the fragility of life and the urgent need for unity in our nation."

Tulsi Gabbard accused of 'bait-and-switch' designed to boost Kremlin propaganda

President Donald Trump's intelligence chief has issued new allegations against Barack Obama and his high-ranking administration officials related to the "Russiagate" investigation, but a conservative columnist said those claims are crumbling under the least bit of scrutiny.

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, claimed Friday that Obama's intel community “manipulated and withheld” key evidence in the investigation into Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election on behalf of Trump, and she called for the prosecution of former FBI director James Comey, CIA director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper for "treasonous conspiracy."

'Huge Coup for Dems': GOP dragged as prominent governor bows out of Senate race

News that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) will not run for Senate in 2026 had social media buzzing Monday.

Kemp had been the Republican favorite to take on incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA). Kemp's departure from the race may be a boon for MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has expressed interest in the Senate seat.

Ex-US attorney goes off on 'nasty' Trump DOJ official for selling 'his soul for power'

Reacting to the chaos created by Donald Trump's second in command at the Department of Justice this week that led to well-regarded prosecutors resigning to avoid dropping corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former U.S. attorney slammed him on MSNBC.

Appearing on "The Weekend," Kristy Greenberg, former deputy chief of the criminal division for the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York, lashed out at Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, for how he has conducted himself at Trump's direction.

Applauding the prosecutors who resigned rather than bend to Bove's will, Greenberg told the hosts, "They took the hard road, but they did the right thing and they spoke truth to power."

"And then you have the opposite," she continued. "You have someone like Emil who really sold his soul for power. That's just plainly what happened here. His memos are nasty, they're brash, they're disingenuous."

"He kind of changes his reasoning throughout, you know, from memo to memo and they're just, you know, they're just, not what you would be accustomed to seeing from a former prosecutor and certainly not somebody who is in DOJ leadership."

"It's extremely disappointing to see, but I'm glad that SDNY stepped up. And I think we'll just have to see now what Judge [Dale] Ho does in the Southern District of New York. I hope he has a hearing, and I hope he holds their feet to the fire and asks really tough questions about why this move would be in the interests of justice."

Report flags 'dramatic departure from past practice' that makes Trump's DOJ 'vulnerable'

Donald Trump's Department of Justice is engaging in something that's considered a dramatic departure from the past, according to a new report.

Bloomberg Law exclusively reported on Sunday that the "Trump Justice Department has assigned politically appointed newcomers decisionmaking power over sensitive matters, including ethics, employee discipline, and release of information sought by inspectors general and Congress, stripping these authorities from the longstanding oversight of a senior career official."
