The death of legendary criminal defense lawyer Roy Black, who helped secure a controversial plea agreement for Jeffrey Epstein two decades ago, sent conspiracy theorists in a fresh spiral or outrage.

The 80-year-old trial attorney and longtime University of Miami law professor represented numerous high-profile clients over the years, including William Kennedy Smith, Rush Limbaugh, Helio Castroneves, Kelsey Grammer, Fred De la Mata, BuzzFeed, and Rolls-Royce, reported WPLG-TV.

Donald Trump's latest verbal fumble has revealed more than just his declining mental state—it's exposed a growing tension within MAGA about life after their aging leader, a columnist wrote Wednesday,

The president’s desperate—and so far unsuccessful—scramble to kill the Jeffrey Epstein story—has brought into sharp focus that MAGA is very aware that he can’t be around for long, Amanda Marcotte wrote for Salon.

CNN's Kate Bolduan laughed at a panelist's vivid description of a "panic-stricken" President Donald Trump consumed with guilt over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

The president prompted a rare response Tuesday from his predecessor Barack Obama after accusing him of "treasonous conspiracy" based on long-settled claims about the origins of the "Russiagate" probe, and Democratic strategist Paul Begala told "CNN News Central" that Trump was clearly trying to change the subject.

President Donald Trump has positioned himself as the "deep state" by targeting his predecessor Barack Obama with possible prosecution, according to a Republican pollster.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has dredged up previously investigated claims about the origins of the "Russiagate" probe and alleged that Obama and some of his high-ranking national security officials engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy" during the 2016 election, and panelists on "CNN This Morning" agreed that Trump was trying to distract from his Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

With Donald Trump headed off to Scotland later this week, he is leaving behind a White House in disarray and unsure how to stop the drip drip drip of revelations about the president's friendship with notorious accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to an MSNBC host.

Now that media outlets are growing more aggressive in calling out the president and some of his top officials for creating "distractions" to direct attention elsewhere, MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire reported that the White House is in a frenzy over what to do because nothing seems to be working.

Reacting to a rambling press conference on Tuesday by Donald Trump, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" buried the president for going to extremes to avoid additional scrutiny over his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

After days of criticism of his Department of Justice taking heat for trying to bury the so-called Epstein files, the president is now being accused of falling back on attacks on President Barack Obama with claims the former president committed treason.

With co-host Willie Geist pointing out that the accusations being made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — which Trump has glommed onto — having already been disproved by then-Senate Intel Chair Marco Rubio, the host observed Trump is obviously desperate.

"It's widely concluded and signed by Marco Rubio, who, let's remember, is the secretary of state under President Trump, he also has three other interim jobs, his was a bipartisan conclusion and what was happening here,' he explained. "It must be said this is, you know, President Trump trying to distract."

"We have seen for four days an effort, a flailing effort to try to turn the conversation away from the Jeffrey Epstein matter and this is what he settled on: it's 2016 all over again," he added.

Contributor Mike Barnicle added, "What we just saw a clip of is the sitting president of the United States of America talking about one of his predecessors, Barack Obama, and using the word treason. Yeah, that is so far beyond the pale."

Late night comedy star Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Donald Trump Tuesday, hitting him with a zinger just horus after the president announced that funnyman and outspoken critic would be the latest to be fired.

"The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone," Trump declared in a Truth Social post, just days after CBS spurred uproar by announcing Stephen Colbert's show had been canceled — after he hit out at a $60 million legal settlement CBS had made with him.

There's a bit of irony packed into the president's fight with the Wall Street Journal, according to one analyst.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon told Andrew Zucker on his podcast "The Golden Age" that President Donald Trump's reaction to the Wall Street Journal's bombshell report about a letter Trump allegedly sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday makes the newspaper's owner, Rupert Murdoch, the true winner of the affair.

The panel on CNN's "NewNight with Abby Phillip" erupted after a MAGA star attempted to downplay the significance of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Kevin O'Leary, CEO of O'Leary Ventures, claimed that the Epstein case is irrelevant to average Americans. His comments come at a time when President Donald Trump is seeking to distance himself from the Epstein saga, which has fractured his base and consumed his administration for the last couple of weeks.

One of President Donald Trump's most vocal critics in the Senate is threatening to sink one of the administration's nominations to a federal ethics watchdog agency, NBC News reported.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told NBC News producer Frank Thorp that he will vote "no" on Paul Ingrassia's nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the agreement of a new 15 percent reciprocal tariffs trade deal with Japan, which was roundly mocked by observers for being worse than the deal the U.S. had with Japan before Trump took office. But this deal does something else he may not have intended, hedge fund manager Spencer Hakimian posted to X: privilege Japanese cars over American ones.

It's a massive reversal from Trump's repeated commitments to adopt "America first" trade policies and encourage domestic production of goods, services, and resources — and it all comes down to simple math.
