Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is making America a national embarrassment, MS NOW's Jen Psaki warned on Friday's edition of "The Briefing."

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that businessman and Trump donor Eric Deters said he paid Guilfoyle $300,000 over the years for help with his tax problems and other requests, including getting a song to Kid Rock. According to texts published by The Journal, Deters complained that he had "not received one favor," while Guilfoyle urged him to stop "papering all these things" and to "simply just call me on Signal."...

A former federal prosecutor laid out why President Donald Trump has every reason to protect Kimberly Guilfoyle after explosive new reporting on her finances.

Vice President JD Vance has a signature campaign-trail move, but some on the right suspect it’s more performance than personality.

Vance has made a habit of swearing in speeches and then making a show of apologizing for it, and a prominent conservative commentator told Politico for a Thursday report that the routine looks staged.
