Pulitzer-winning Watergate reporter Bob Woodward laid into President Donald Trump's ongoing and escalating war on the press in an interview on MSNBC Tuesday, blasting it as "pathetic."

Trump has filed an extensive stream of lawsuits against papers and outlets that have criticized him, or even not covered his opponents as unfavorably as he wanted, and bullied their parent companies into settling for millions of dollars.

A social media spat escalated Tuesday between the satirical animated television show "South Park" and the Trump administration.

In a post on X, the Department of Homeland Security used a South Park-style animation in a recruiting post, just days after South Park released a trailer for its upcoming episode featuring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. The post was made after a White House spokesperson said the show "hasn't been relevant in 20 years' after the first episode of the new season depicted President Donald Trump in unflattering ways.

Two analysts chided President Donald Trump on Tuesday after he made a series of false statements during a news conference.

Earlier in the day, Trump signed an executive order creating a federal commission for the 2028 Olympics. The event is supposed to be held in Los Angeles and several other nearby cities, like Inglewood and Venice.

A new report was immediately panned by onlookers that Ghislaine Maxwell told the Justice Department last month nothing that would prove "harmful" to President Donald Trump.

Maxwell met and talked with Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, over two days at the US attorney's office in Tallahassee, Florida. Maxwell took questions from about 100 different people, according to reports, after receiving limited immunity. The meetings were part of the Justice Department's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell's involvement in sex trafficking.

The Department of Homeland Security melted down on social media Tuesday after NBC News reported on conditions inside some immigration detention facilities.

According to the NBC News report, 510 "credible" cases of human rights abuses were discovered at detention facilities across the country after a months-long investigation by Sen. Jon Ossoff's (D-GA) office. Those cases include 41 allegations of "physical or sexual abuse, as well as 18 alleged reports of mistreatment of children in custody," the report states.

President Donald Trump again declined on Tuesday to endorse Vice President JD Vance as the heir to the MAGA movement.

Trump was asked by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during a news conference whether Vance was the "heir apparent" to the MAGA movement. Doocy cited Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent endorsement of Vance to be the next president.

President Donald Trump's idea to have tourists post bonds for their visit to the United States received sharp criticism from an analyst on Tuesday.

Trump's idea would require visa applicants to post a bond between $5,000 and $15,000 as part of their application. Tourists from countries with "high overstay rates" would be required to pay more than tourists from wealthier European countries, The Associated Press reported.

Alina Habba, President Donald Trump's disputed acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, expressed frustration about being labeled a "political hack."

This week, Habba responded to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after he was hit with an ethics complaint for urging New Jersey judges to oust her as acting U.S. attorney.

President Donald Trump went off on a rant, attacking Washington, D.C., as "out of control" with local "youths." To solve the crime problem, Trump wants to begin charging 14-year-olds as adults.

Taking to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump said gang members are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released."

President Donald Trump's decision to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics director over weak jobs report numbers was torn to shreds by The New York Times editorial board on Tuesday.

The decision, which Trump claims with no evidence is because the statistics were somehow rigged or falsified by Democrats to make him look bad, will only ensure that "America will suffer" from the collapse of trust among federal statistics gatherers and the people who use them, the board wrote.

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed all of the Justice Department documents involved in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and subpoenaed 10 people it wants to hear from. But that list has sparked questions about a number of people who are not on that list.

CNN reported that the House Oversight Committee wants to speak to former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzales; former FBI Director James Comey; former special counsel and FBI Director Robert Mueller; former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton; and former President Bill Clinton.

President Donald Trump is trying to deport a Russian man who passed the U.S. screening process for asylum. The U.S. government has also taken away his son.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, posted an excerpt of a New York Times report revealing that the man fled to the United States after his wife was locked up for her political views.
