Senior White House adviser and speechwriter Stephen Miller blew a gasket on Fox News Tuesday, amid reporting of internal anger at CBS after newly-installed right-wing network chief Bari Weiss put a hold on a long-in-the-works "60 Minutes" investigation into the horrific conditions at the Salvadoran CECOT megaprison where President Donald Trump has shipped hundreds of migrants.

"Every one of those producers at '60 Minutes' engaged in this revolt, fire them," shouted Miller, an anti-immigrant fanatic known to crib Nazi Germany in his speeches. "Clean house, fire them. That's what I say."

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, reposting a long conspiracy theory screed alleging mass voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, and calling for the state's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, to be jailed, alongside Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Atlanta poll worker Ruby Freeman.

"BREAKING: The Georgia Board of Elections just dropped this BOMBSHELL revealing that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election were counted twice and it was NOT by human error - but by INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION, which was in fact MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD that STOLE the election from the actual winner of Georgia, President Donald J Trump," said the original post, made by the account @Joshua2024.

A "close outside adviser" to President Donald Trump recently told Jonathan Lemire of The Atlantic that the president has just discovered "the quickest way to become a lame duck."

Trump's MAGA base has been fracturing for some time after the administration declined to release the Jeffrey Epstein files in full earlier this year. That move sparked considerable backlash from MAGA figureheads like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who was one of Trump's fiercest defenders before the debacle began.

The Supreme Court dropped a bombshell on Tuesday by handing President Donald Trump a rare loss, ruling 6-3 to deny a stay on deploying the National Guard to Illinois — but the rebuke of Trump was not the only thing some legal experts noticed in the opinion.

Specifically, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who drafted a concurrence with the majority on one of the key issues in the decision, made statements in his opinion that suggest he may regret one of the most controversial court decisions in recent months.

One of President Donald Trump's former business partners made a stunning comparison on Tuesday between the way the Trump administration has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files and another high-profile case of serial sexual abuse.

On Tuesday, the Justice Department released another trove of documents from the FBI's investigation into disgraced financier and convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. The files included emails that placed Trump on Epstein's infamous plane on eight occasions, and other revelations that were politically damaging for the president.

President Donald Trump got a rare and devastating blow at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, as three right-wing justices joined with the three liberals to deny a stay of a lower court ruling that prevents him from federalizing the National Guard to deploy troops to Chicago — and said the administration is unlikely to prevail when the case is litigated on the merits.

The decision triggered an eruption from legal commentators on social media, including an outpouring of approval of the decision to rein in Trump's use of executive and military power over states and cities that protest his agenda.

Judges who have been threatened by fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement are speaking out against the president for fomenting security risks for themselves and their families.

NBC News spoke to multiple judges who have faced threats after ruling against Trump in a case. In a report published on Tuesday, judges appointed by Trump and other presidents stressed that Trump, administration officials, and MAGA influencers have changed the landscape for judges and have made it more dangerous to do their jobs.

Just two hours after reporters flagged what appeared to be a 2019 letter from deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to fellow offender Larry Nassar reflecting on how President Donald Trump shared their liking of young girls, the Justice Department put out a statement proclaiming the letter was almost certainly fake, citing among other things that the handwriting does not resemble any known handwriting for Epstein, and that the letter was postmarked to a date just slightly after Epstein was found dead in his cell.

This statement triggered a wave of reactions from commenters on social media. Some noted that the letter in question was actually already flagged by the Associated Press years earlier based on corroborating documents from the Bureau of Prisons.

The federal government added two additional felony charges against Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, who is accused of murdering National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and wounding Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, according to a new report.

CBS News Justice Correspondent Scott MacFarlane reported on Tuesday that federal prosecutors filed a new criminal indictment against Lakanwal, adding two felonies for transporting and selling firearms internationally. Lakanwal was previously charged with first-degree murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and assault with intent to kill.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz lashed out at Jeffrey Epstein survivor Maria Farmer after news reports said she had been "redeemed" because documents released by the Department of Justice proved she had reported the sex offender years before he was arrested.

During a Tuesday Newsmax interview, Dershowitz began by taking issue with host Greta Van Susteren's description of Farmer.
