Trump News

A former Fox News anchor on Monday flagged a deepening divide between President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which she described as the "biggest political story" of the last 10 days.

Congress passed legislation to force the Trump administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein files about 10 days ago. The legislation included a 30-day deadline for the release and was supported by a veto-proof majority of lawmakers.

President Donald Trump's assistant attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division caught heat from political observers and analysts on Monday after she appeared to celebrate a pair of high-profile court losses.

U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie tossed out the Trump administration's prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was illegally serving in office. Currie wrote in his opinion that Halligan's actions were "unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside."

The Department of Justice must produce records related to its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files to a media organization on an expedited basis, federal Judge Tanya Chutkan of the District of Columbia ordered Monday, according to a new report.

Politico's Senior Legal Affairs Reporter, Kyle Cheney, reported on Monday night that Chutkan ordered the Justice Department to turn over records to Democracy Forward Foundation, a nonprofit legal organization led by Sky Perryman. Her order only applies to records related to the department's handling of the files, including “records reflecting all correspondence between Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,” according to the 15-page document.

A MAGA firebrand said on Monday that she will sit out of the 2026 midterm election, which calls into question the GOP's chances of retaining her seat, according to a new report.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on Monday that she will not endorse a candidate to replace her in next year's midterm, Politico reported on Monday. The news comes days after Greene announced her retirement from Congress, citing ongoing tensions with President Donald Trump.

A former GOP strategist said on Monday that he was "blown away" when he heard a MAGA darling's latest conspiracy theory.

Last week, Candace Owens claimed in a post on X that the governments of Israel and France were trying to assassinate her. She made the accusation after creating several episodes of her popular podcast, where she accused the Israeli government of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk and said French President Emmanuel Macron's wife is transgender.

MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace said on Monday that Republicans are acting like political prisoners who remain in captivity even though the door to their proverbial jail cell is unlocked.

Wallace, host of "Deadline: White House," noted during the Monday broadcast of her show that Republicans have seemingly followed President Donald Trump in lockstep as he dismantled the independence of Congress. For instance, Trump has sought to withhold Congressionally approved funding through recissions unilaterally, and his administration has conducted several strikes on alleged drug boats, moves that some experts have said require the approval of Congress.

A Senate Democrat clapped back at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during an interview on CNN over a threat to court-martial another lawmaker who spoke out against the administration.

On Monday, Hegseth threatened to elevate Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a former naval officer, to active duty so he can be court-martialed after Kelly appeared in a video with five other Democrats telling military members they don't have to obey illegal orders. President Donald Trump condemned the video, calling it a "seditious act."

The court ruling on Monday tossing the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are a huge embarrassment for President Donald Trump's Justice Department, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN's Kasie Hunt — and while things aren't quite over just yet, it's a serious blow to Trump's push to prosecute his political critics.

The judge found that the indictments, which accuse Comey of obstruction and false statements for congressional testimony years previously and James of bank fraud for a minor discrepancy on old mortgage documents, are invalid because acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not legally appointed to that role.

A GOP strategist turned anti-Trump activist on Monday slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest threat to a Democratic lawmaker over a social media video that circulated last week.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired astronaut and former naval officer, appeared in a video with five other Democratic lawmakers last week, telling military troops that they do not have to obey illegal orders. The video was widely condemned by President Donald Trump and his MAGA base, with the president describing it as a "seditious act."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that the United States "can't have" soldiers questioning whether orders are legal after Democrats pointed out that troops have a responsibility not to follow illegal orders.

During a Monday interview on Fox News, Leavitt said Democrats were giving "a wink and a nod to the 1.3 million active duty service members who serve in our United States armed forces and essentially encourage them to defy the orders of their commander-in-chief."

Bill Maher called out Lara Trump after she tried to deny that her father-in-law called a reporter "piggy."

During his Monday Club Random podcast, Maher told Lara Trump that some of President Donald Trump's rhetoric made it difficult for him to win over opponents.
