Vice President JD Vance may not be doing the president any favors in his attempts to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein story, according to one analyst.

Bill Kristol, executive editor of The Bulwark, said on a recent episode of The Bulwark Podcast that Vance appears to be "implicitly" knifing Trump with silence. Kristol was referring to comments Vance made during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on her Sunday morning show, "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

The panel on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" exploded after a right-wing podcaster gave President Donald Trump credit for declining crime rates across the U.S.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board skewered President Donald Trump's latest economic maneuver in an editorial published on Monday.

In Vietnam, villagers whose land is slated to be cleared for a $1.5 billion golf resort backed by the Trump family have reportedly been offered meager compensation by local authorities.

Two of President Donald Trump's most fervent supporters clashed Monday night on social media.

President Donald Trump was dealt a court loss Monday afternoon from a federal judge he appointed during his first term.

Trump nominated Dabney Friedrich as a United States district judge in 2017 and she was confirmed in November of that year.
