Deposition threat looms over Susie Wiles as White House eyes new hire

A new White House hire of a controversial former Donald Trump adviser could land Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in court.

On Monday, a report claimed the White House is in talks to bring Jason Miller, long associated with the president since his first term, back to help with communications issues before the midterm elections. That potential hiring did not go unnoticed by Miller’s former girlfriend A. J. Delgado who has been waging a war with him for years over child support.

Trump ally clearly violated federal law with his latest social media post: ex-prosecutor

A former Justice Department official seemingly violated the law over the weekend by imploring Donald Trump loyalists to apply for jobs as federal prosecutors, according to experts.

Chad Mizelle, a former DOJ chief of staff, issued a public call on social media for MAGA attorneys to apply for jobs under Attorney General Pam Bondi and suggested he could help them toward that goal through his own connections, and a former federal prosecutor told ABC News that was clearly a violation of department policy and likely a crime.

How Trump's tariffs could leave stores struggling to 'keep shelves stocked' with toys

Bloomberg reports that some stores will struggle to keep shelves stocked with children’s gifts thanks to the lingering damage of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

“Parents getting around to do toy shopping this Black Friday week should expect a far thinner selection of toys than last year,” said Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University.

MAGA erupts as blue city takes step toward reparations for African-Americans

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement erupted on Wednesday over a report that a deep blue city is moving forward with a plan to provide reparations for African Americans.

The Daily Mail UK reported on Wednesday that San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie "quietly signed" a bill two days before Christmas to create a "Reparations Fund." The bill does not allocate any funding, and it is yet to be determined whether the funds will come from local taxes or private donations, according to the report.

India paid Trump insider $1.8 million - gets slapped with highest tariff anyway

As governments worldwide scrambled to sway President Donald Trump and secure favorable trade terms before his so-called reciprocal tariffs took effect this week, India wagered heavily on a single Trump insider – and lost.

According to a report Saturday from Politico, India had paid $1.8 million to Jason Miller, a longtime Trump ally who was the president’s chief spokesman during his 2016 campaign, and senior advisor for his 2020 and 2024 campaigns, and Miller was paid, according to Justice Department documents obtained by Politico, for “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance.”

Observers flabbergasted by Pete Hegseth's jaw-dropping claim about Gitmo prisoners

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a jaw-dropping claim about prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that has left onlookers shocked.

Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, also known as Gitmo, holds prisoners accused of terrorism, including the jihadists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. While speaking outside Guantanamo Bay, Hegseth told reporters, "These Gitmo detainees should have been executed in my mind personally a long time ago."

DHS staffers dish out gossip about Kristi Noem's tenure: 'Felt like a South Park moment'

Dozens and dozens of Department of Homeland Security insiders dished out damning details about Kristi Noem's chaotic tenure as the agency's top official.

The 54-year-old Noem was fired last month by President Donald Trump after she told lawmakers he had signed off on a $220 million self-promotional ad campaign and fumbled on questions about her alleged sexual relationship with DHS employee Corey Lewandowski, and agency insiders told the New York Times about similar examples of her self-aggrandizing leadership.

"At Secretary Noem’s first DHS town hall, she came out onstage to the theme song 'Hot Mama,' spoke for maybe a few minutes and took no questions and left," said Jason Marks, former supervisory refugee officer at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. "I wasn’t in the room, but it was something everyone was talking about in real time. It felt like a 'South Park' moment."

Noem had faced intense scrutiny since the administration surged Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers into the Minneapolis area, where agents shot and killed two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who she slurred as domestic terrorists.

"The Good shooting was cleared by Secretary Noem like within an hour," said one senior ICE agent. "There should be a real investigation. For lesser-trained officers, that made them think, okay, we can push the limits. You could really see that in the field in the lack of professionalism. ICE was giving us big cans of pepper spray we were never issued before. I know that if I spray someone, that’s a use-of-force incident that needs to be investigated. But all these new people were emptying out their canisters, driving by and spraying the crowd — no questions asked."

Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown, set a target at the start of his second term of 3,000 arrests a day at minimum and a million deportations in 2025, and DHS insiders described how Miller and Noem issued that directive to the officials expected to carry out those orders.

"Todd Lyons, the ICE director, introduced the secretary," said one former ICE senior executive. "She says to us, If I get fired in six months, I’m going to make sure you get fired in six months, and I’m like, Hold on a second. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and you just got six months under your belt. You should get fired because you don’t know how to run the mission."

"Then Stephen Miller goes up next, and he chastises our director," the former senior executive added. "He dresses him down in front of us. And I’m like, This is so unprofessional. A field office director says: We’re working through the list, but we’re having some challenges with the list. We’re going to get it done. We’re trying our hardest."

Miller then looked at Lyons and demanded to know how he was issuing the command.
