It didn't take long for a White House spokesperson to sneer at the hosts of ABC's popular "The View" after co-host Joy Behar needled Donald Trump as being jealous of former President Barack Obama.

During Wednesday's episode, Behar took on the Trump White House's after the president said on Tuesday, "This was treason. This was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election. Irrefutable proof that Obama was sedatious (sic), that Obama led — was trying to lead a coup."

Rep. George Latimer (D-NY) laid into media outlets Wednesday for caving to President Donald Trump over several litigation threats.

“The news is louder than a toddler with a kazoo at a Metallica concert, so while the headlines scream, the internet screams even louder with a monologue known as ‘meanwhile,’” Latimer said, speaking on the House floor.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) scrambled to deny reports that he was adjourning the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent a vote on releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Yesterday, some of you may have seen a false headline in the New York Times, and the headline was terribly misleading," Johnson said on Wednesday. "It said, 'House Republicans are adjourning until September to avoid a vote on releasing Epstein materials.' I just want you to know, and everybody here knows, that's an outright lie."

Donald Trump's flirtation with wanting to take over Greenland has plunged the popularity of the U.S. to a new low among locals and in Denmark.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Trump's overtures to Denmark to assume possession of the protectorate was greeted with dismay and diminished goodwill built up over decades between the two countries.

The co-hosts of "The View" had a good laugh at President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he either slurred his words — or made up a new one altogether.

At issue is Trump's new conspiracy that President Barack Obama invented the evidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. It's nearly 10 years later and, Sunny Hostin remarked, Obama still "lives rent free in his head."

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) put new pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Jeffrey Epstein case by dumping a road map to the pedophile's financial network into her lap as President Donald Trump begged his followers to move on from the scandal.

The Oregon Democrat and his investigators have been probing the late financier's networks and discovered four big banks had flagged $1.5 billion in suspicious money transfers to the Treasury Department involving Epstein that appeared to be linked to his sex-trafficking ring. Wyden went public with those findings last week and then handed his evidence to Bondi, reported The New Republic.

A coalition of furious Pentagon officials is preparing to publicly blast Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a blistering letter demanding his ouster, according to a new report.

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) scolded acting FEMA director David Richardson for being "nowhere near Texas" in the days after a flood killed scores of people.

During a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on Wednesday, Stanton noted that Richardson had a duty under the law "to act proactively and not to wait for a request from Governor Abbott to pre-position resources."

First Lady Brigitte Macron is suing right-wing firebrand Candace Owens for a “relentless and unjustified smear campaign” that alleges Macron is secretly a man.

Beyond GOP lawmakers having to head home for their summer break and explain their vote on the hugely unpopular budget bill they just shoved through, Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein scandal has added to their woes.

According to a report from Politico, Democrats fully intend on making Republicans co-conspirators in the White House's difficulties in making the Epstein files controversy go away.

President Donald Trump did a prisoner swap last week in which he returned 250 Venezuelan migrants back to their country in exchange for a swap of 10 Americans who were in that nation's prisons.
