Fox News host Maria Bartiromo faced disagreement from Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) on Sunday after she complained about his vote to fund the U.S. government.

"We begin this Sunday morning with Republican leadership coming up empty once again on securing the southern border as they agree to a third continuing resolution, once again extending the Democrat agenda set by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer back in December of 22," Bartiromo announced as she kicked off her interview with McCaul.

Appearing on CNN after he recently delivered an overly enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) was confronted with his own words about the Jan. 6 insurrection when asked about the former president calling the rioters "hostages."

Appearing on "State of the Union," the South Carolina Republican was admonished by host Dana Bash for repeated accusations that the Department of Justice has been "weaponized" by President Joe Biden before pressing him on Trump defending convicted insurrectionists.

ABC News host Martha Raddatz pressed Gov. Doug Burgam (R-ND) about his support for Donald Trump despite the candidate's apparent declining "mental acuity."

During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, Raddatz noted that Trump had recently confused former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) with Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

"Saturday Night Live" kicked off its 2024 season by introducing cast member Chloe Fineman as Donald Trump's much-derided attorney Alina Habba who began by saying of her legal skills, "I am new at this and I am learning."

From there, Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, took over the proceedings by acknowledging Habba is "the worst lawyer I’ve ever had, which is quite an accomplishment," before sniping at the assembled lawyers behind him and stating, "This is the bottom of the barrel, folks, this is who said yes. I’m in the lead for president and this is the best I can get. Feels like a red flag. Well, you’re not getting paid, by the way. You know that, of course you do."

Addressing speculation that he is sliding into dementia, he continued, "As you can see, I am doing very well cognitively. Doing great with cognitive. I think I’m doing great with cognitive. I’m more cognitive than ever,” before adding, "The doctors said, ‘Sir, you have to be in the top 99 percent of all the concussion and dementia people we give this test to.' I said, ‘Wow, I guess I’m very good at recognizing elephants. Who knew?’ And now we’re here."

Referencing Trump recently telling Iowa Republicans to go caucus even if they were deathly ill, he added, "My people love me. I got the old people. They’re waiting in the snow for 2 hours to vote for Trump. We just need them to stay alive until November; stay alive until November. Just pull that lever and drop dead. Why? Because I am sent by God, and God has a plan for me, or whatever.”

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' sprawling RICO investigation into former President Donald Trump and over a dozen of his associates is at risk of being scuttled due to a potential scandal within her office.

Reuters reported this week that special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who is assisting Willis in the investigation, paid for two flights for himself and Willis in 2022 and 2023 according to bank records, which may hint at an inappropriate relationship between the two prosecutors. Those records were made public as part of divorce proceedings filed by Wade's estranged wife, Jocelyn, in the couple's divorce proceedings. The bank records further suggest that Willis may have hired Wade to work on the Trump case while the two were involved in a personal relationship.
