Fox News legal contributor Jonathan Turley expressed surprise after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice reportedly indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges related to an Instagram photo.

During a Fox News segment on Tuesday, host John Roberts reported that Comey had been indicted in connection with a photograph of seashells that spelled out "8647," which some have interpreted as a threat to the president's life.

The performance of the Department of Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin has become a Rorschach test for Donald Trump’s MAGA followers, who have already expressed widely conflicting opinions about the job he has been doing, one month after he replaced controversial Kristi Noem.

According to the Washington Post's David Nakamura, some conservative anti-immigration advocates understand the political constraints Mullin faces after Noem's controversial tenure cratered Trump's immigration approval ratings. But another faction wants immediate, aggressive action regardless of political consequences.

The Trump administration has heavily promoted the larger tax refunds expected this year as a selling point for Republicans in the midterm elections, but two conservative economists refuted that narrative on Tuesday, arguing that, in aggregate, the Trump administration’s policies were, in effect, a tax increase.

Signed into law by President Donald Trump last year, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act extended a number of tax cuts implemented during his first term – tax cuts that largely benefit the wealthiest Americans, and at the expense of social safety net programs like Medicaid and food assistance. The savings for “the average American,” however, were more than offset by the price hikes caused by Trump’s tariff policy, conservative economists Phil Gramm and Michael Solon argued Tuesday in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal.

Amid the widely publicized White House visit Tuesday by England’s King Charles III, one photographer captured a remarkable moment on camera, one that appeared to show President Donald Trump, as one CBS News reporter put it, patting “the first lady on the tooshie.”

“Trump patted the first lady on the tooshie during [the] arrival ceremony for king and queen,” wrote CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs in a social media post on X, alongside an image of the photograph in question, taken by Associated Press photographer Jacquelyn Martin.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon predicted Republicans would face a "30-seat blowout" in the midterm elections if President Donald Trump and his administration did not commit to deporting 100 million people.

During a Tuesday segment on his War Room program, Bannon complained that the Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Markwayne Mullin had "no appetite" to deport 100 million, as former Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino has called for.

King Charles’ visit to the White House to meet with Donald Trump, followed by an outdoor ceremony on Tuesday, led the New York Post to employ a lip-reader to decipher what the two world leaders were saying to each other out of earshot of reporters.

Upon welcoming his guests to the White House, the Post is reporting that Trump and Charles spoke about security, likely related to the attempt on Trump’s life Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner among other topics.

President Donald Trump barged into King Charles' greeting to his top administration officials.

The 77-year-old monarch shook hands with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles —before pausing his greetings.

Vice President JD Vance, who has been under increasing scrutiny for not toeing the Donald Trump administration line on the Iran war, made what appeared to be an attempt to get back in line by applauding an ICE operation underway in Minneapolis.

That led a former US Attorney to advise the vice president to butt out.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a civil rights organization, has asked a federal court to silence acting Attorney General Todd Blanche after he allegedly made false statements on Fox News.

Last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama secured an indictment against the SPLC, alleging that the organization paid the leaders of racist organizations.

The Department of Homeland Security said it had partnered with the FBI to raid more than 20 locations in Minneapolis, MN, as part of an investigation into "rampant fraud."

The Department of Justice confirmed to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that the two agencies were working together and "currently raiding 20+ locations... in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations."

First Lady Melania Trump’s air of indifference, as exemplified by her wearing a coat emblazoned with "I really don't care, do you?" during a trip to a migrant child detention center in 2018, is reportedly cracking as she now embraces her husband's confrontational style in public.

According to one Republican insider, that has always been her true nature, but the "shield" of studied nonchalance is slipping as she becomes more vocal about any criticism aimed her way.
