Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was on the receiving end of a tongue-lashing on MS NOW on Wednesday morning for holding a press conference to announce criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey for posting a picture of seashells that the DOJ maintains was a threat to Donald Trump.

According to Blanche, the photo of shells spelling out “8647” was an implicit threat to the president's life, adding, “This is something that has been investigated for nearly a year now, and the results of that investigation is that a grand jury returned an indictment."

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have filed contempt charges against former Attorney General Pam Bondi after she failed to comply with a subpoena to give a deposition on the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

On Wednesday, Oversight Committee ranking Democrat Robert Garcia (CA) said Bondi "illegally defied our committee, skipped her deposition, and refused to cooperate."

Donald Trump’s effusive praise for the Secret Service after a would-be assassin stormed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last weekend is creating stress at the Department of Justice, where officials are leery of contradicting him.

Reacting to new reporting that the FBI has been unable to turn up the bullet fragment that struck a Secret Service agent, leading to questions over whether he was the victim of “friendly fire,” MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire said fear of the president is complicating the case against of Cole Tomas Allen.

The case against the man who burst through security at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner to attack Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet may not be as cut and dried as the Justice Department is making it out to be.

Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” former US Attorney Joyce Vance claimed that a missing piece of evidence will make it harder to prosecute Cole Tomas Allen for reportedly shooting –– but not killing –– a Secret Service agent, which the DOJ is asserting.

CBS Evening News is experiencing a catastrophic collapse in viewership under Bari Weiss's leadership and veteran television executives are sounding the alarm that the controversial Free Press founder's editorial direction — marked by flagrant Trump support delivered by handpicked anchor Tony Dokoupil — is driving longtime viewers away in unprecedented numbers.

According to media watchdog Status, the damage is undeniable and accelerating.

The numbers are disastrous, writes Oliver Darcy, founder of Status. Nielsen data obtained by the media watchdog demonstrates that during the week beginning April 20, CBS Evening News hit its lowest viewership since Dokoupil took over the broadcast. The program averaged just 3.7 million viewers — "slipping below the once-unthinkable" 4 million threshold. In the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic, the show averaged only 467,000 viewers.

The report states that the broadcast has now logged three consecutive weeks under 4 million viewers, a prolonged slump that was once unimaginable, which is doubly bad news with summer approaching where viewership traditionally drops.

According to Status, the problem is not just limited to the evening programming.

President Donald Trump convened oil and gas executives Tuesday at the White House to address energy market disruptions caused by the Iran war and related issues.

The unprecedented supply disruption in the Middle East is simultaneously creating opportunities and challenges for the energy industry. Axios reported that Chevron CEO Mike Wirth attended the meeting alongside White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

President Donald Trump issued Iran a warning Wednesday by demanding that they “better get smart soon” as it relates to reaching a deal with the United States on de-nuclearization, posting an image of himself appearing to have been created with generative artificial intelligence holding an AR-15-style rifle in front of a barrage of explosions.

“Iran can’t get their act together,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 4:05 AM Eastern. “They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!”

President Donald Trump is facing "a real problem" coming from inside his own house that he can't outrun, according to one of his biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff told Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast on a new episode of their podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," on Tuesday that Melania Trump has become "a matter of serious concern" inside the White House. He cited her recent Amazon-backed movie and her press conference, where she denied having any ties to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as actions that have raised eyebrows among administration officials.

A legal expert on Tuesday exposed the "pretext" President Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission is using in its latest bid to stymie free speech.

Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor, discussed the FCC's investigation into Disney's DEI policies during a panel discussion on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip. He argued that the way the panel discussed the investigation revealed something more nefarious at play.
