The White House downplayed assertions that it has declared war on drug cartels, according to a new report.

The comments come after the New York Times reported on a memo President Donald Trump sent to Congress saying the U.S. is in an "armed conflict" with drug cartels. The language was designed to give Trump extraordinary powers to combat the cartel's activities, including using military force, according to a new report by Politico.

According to retired United States Army Lt. General Mark Hertling, there is a strong possibility that members of the military leadership who listened to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial speech in Quantico, Virginia, walked away planning ways to ignore some of his demands.

President Donald Trump highlighted a moment on social media that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described as the "strangest" part of his meeting at the White House.

New video of a top Justice Department official ordering the arrest of a Democratic mayor during a protest at an immigration detention facility could create serious problems for top brass, a former New York prosecutor said Tuesday.

President Donald Trump's nomination for Commissioner of Labor Statistics is reportedly coming to an end.

Last month, Trump nominated E.J. Antoni for the role after firing Erika McEntarfer for releasing economic data he didn't like. The nomination faced immediate controversy over Antoni's lack of experience and partisanship.
