Donald Trump’s boast that Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is very invested in seeing Ukraine “succeed” got a big laugh as the host of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” noted that Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared as amused at the time as they were on Monday morning.

Trump’s comment was roundly roasted on social media on Sunday and hosts Jonathan Lemire and Katty Kay joined in on the fun.

Donald Trump’s latest attempt to blame the Jeffrey Epstein files on Democrats as a hoax is a curious tactic that is now hurting him more than helping him, a conservative journalist remarked on MS NOW on Monday morning.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” David Drucker of The Dispatch was asked about Trump’s Christmas holiday Truth Social posts, where he melted down over a report of a million more documents related to the convicted sex trafficker and claimed, “The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them and get back to helping our country!”

Amid growing scrutiny from prominent MAGA figures, FBI Director Kash Patel proudly boasted Sunday about having “dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme” involving federal food aid, though conservative critics were quick to point out that Patel appeared to be taking credit for investigations launched under the Biden administration.

“The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota,” Patel wrote Sunday in a social media post on X, referring to the alleged large-scale nutrition program fraud scheme in the North Star State. “However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs.”

Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Justice Department, launched into a vulgar tirade Sunday night at MAGA influencers for criticizing the Trump administration, leaving a number of onlookers taken aback at her use of a derogatory slang term.

“‘Conservative’ influencers, if you think you are ‘keeping the pressure on’ or ‘winning’ by spreading bulls--- attacks on Donald Trump’s hand-picked cabinet, you are NOT,” Dhillon wrote in a social media post on X. “You are earning money to spread misinformation. You are hoes. Learn an honest profession!”

President Donald Trump's latest "flagrant violation" of the law left a Democratic analyst stunned on Sunday.

Last week, the Trump administration released a new tranche of documents related to the FBI's investigation into disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. The files included several documents that were damaging to Trump, but progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen noted that the papers also seemed to violate the law.

President Donald Trump is well-known for making statements that stretch the imagination, but his latest claims about the war in Ukraine caused the internet to erupt on Sunday.

Trump held a round of peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Sunday. The two world leaders took questions from the press after the meeting, during which Trump made a strange claim that even made Zelenskyy laugh.

There is a power vacuum appearing in President Donald Trump's MAGA coalition after the president quietly admitted to his top aide that he knows running for a third term "isn't possible," according to a new report.

Trump has told Chief of Staff Susie Wiles "on a couple of occasions" that he knows running for a third term "isn't possible," The Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday. Those comments come at a time when MAGA figureheads like Steve Bannon and lawyer Alan Dershowitz are pleading with the president to seek another term in office. Dershowitz reportedly presented a plan to the president in the White House and came away with the impression that Trump would attempt to seek office again.

President Donald Trump's revenge tour is soon to make a stop inside the White House after the president was "humiliated" by one of his top aides, according to one analyst.

Trump's second term has been marked by one retributive act after another. For now, those acts have largely been undertaken outside of the White House. The president directed his Department of Justice to investigate his political foes, such as former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). Still, the courts swiftly slapped those investigations away.

Brian Cole Jr., who is accused of planting multiple pipe bombs around Washington, D.C., leading up to the January 6, 2021, insurrection, gave a stunning confession to law enforcement officials, according to new court documents.

The January 6 pipe bomber case has become a political flash point since photos of the individual first surfaced in 2021. Some lawmakers have called on law enforcement officials to investigate the case and bring everyone involved to justice. In contrast, others have alleged that the incidents were a "diversionary tactic" intended to divert resources from the Capitol that day.
