FBI Director Kash Patel clapped back at criticism he's received from Congressional lawmakers over his handling of high-profile cases during a new podcast on Tuesday.

Patel and his girlfriend, country music singer Alexis Wilkins, appeared on the latest episode of "The Katie Miller Podcast," hosted by Katie Miller, the wife of Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. During the interview, he addressed criticism he's received over the FBI's handling of cases like the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Two high-profile members of the conservative Heritage Foundation's governing board recently resigned over the think tank's support for right-wing provocateur Tucker Carlson, according to a new report.

Abby Spencer Moffat and Shane McCullar resigned from the governing board, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. Their resignations followed Robert P. George, a professor at Princeton University, who resigned in November, and several departures from staff in recent weeks.

A private equity firm backed by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, dropped its controversial bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery on Tuesday, according to a new report.

Axios reported on Tuesday that Kushner's Affinity Partners withdrew its bid for the company after learning that it was about to reject Paramount's offer to buy the company for more than $108 billion, or roughly $30 per share in an all-cash offer.

President Donald Trump received sharp criticism from The Guardian's editorial board on Tuesday after he sued the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC, for defamation.

Trump filed a 33-page complaint in a court in Florida on Monday, alleging that the BBC deceptively edited a portion of a documentary that details the president's actions on Jan. 6, 2021. The lawsuit seeks to recoup $10 billion in damages. The BBC has said it will defend itself in the case.

President Donald Trump is on the brink of being abandoned by his own followers, as the very type of person he elevated in politics will not stick around to get his "stink" on them as he goes down, Jesse Edwards, director of Newsweek Voices and Radio, wrote in an analysis published on Tuesday.

Trump "isn’t the worst president in American history. He’s the worst American in American history," wrote Edwards. "That distinction matters because what’s coming next for him has very little to do with Democrats, policy, or ideology. Trump is going to be taken down by his own people first because that is how this always ends for men like him."

Republicans have sent Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) a "huge middle finger" during Trump's second term, and one analyst thinks the trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

Before this year, lawmakers on either side of the aisle were hesitant to use discharge petitions as a viable option to pass policies, according to Joe Perticone, a writer for The Bulwark. However, Republican lawmakers have recently used discharge petitions to effectively force the Trump administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and a host of other priorities.

Two top MAGA supporters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Alex Jones, wondered whether President Donald Trump could be "saved" after his attack following the killing of liberal Hollywood director Rob Reiner.

During a Tuesday interview on The Alex Jones Show, the host said he was "very concerned" about the president's future.

Prosecutors released on Tuesday the charges they are filing against Nick Reiner, the son of slain director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.

Reiner is being charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of his parents, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said during a press conference. Authorities previously said Nick Reiner was "responsible" for the killings of Rob and Michele, who were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Sunday.
