President Donald Trump's latest "scam" shows his administration is being run like a "going out of business sale," according to one lawyer.

Trump is reportedly in talks with the IRS to secure a large settlement after the agency released part of his tax returns to a Congressional committee during his first administration. Michael Popok, a lawyer and host of the "Legal AF" podcast, argued during a new episode that the "scam" revealed that Trump appears to be acknowledging that his "lame duck" status is approaching faster than he imagined.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice sent chills down the spines of political analysts and observers on Tuesday after it indicted a prominent advocacy group.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the Trump DOJ indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts of wire and bank fraud related to the group's efforts to infiltrate extremist operations across the country. The investigation was announced just days after a bombshell report from The Atlantic revealed that Patel is frequently absent from his job and often drinks to excess.

A Republican strategist urged another of President Donald Trump's cabinet secretaries to resign during a CNN segment on Tuesday.

Shermichael Singleton, who hosts a weekly radio show on SiriusXM, said during a segment on "The Lead" with CNN's Jake Tapper that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick should resign from the administration for being too much of a distraction. Lutnick is facing scrutiny over his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and for allegedly profiting from Trump's tariff policies.

A former Capitol Police officer who responded to the Jan. 6 insurrection sued a MAGA media outlet on Tuesday, alleging that she was defamed during one of their "nonsense" investigations.

Shauni Kerkhoff, who now works in the CIA, sued Blaze Media over a theory the outlet concocted about her being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber and for refusing to retract the report after Brian Cole Jr. confessed, according to the lawsuit. The 127-page document does not list a specific amount of damages claimed because damage "continues to accrue," it reads.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice submitted — and then quickly rescinded — a subpoena for one of the president's perceived political foes, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that U.S. prosecutors working to determine whether former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress rescinded a recent subpoena to have Brennan testify before a grand jury. The rescission occurred when Trump removed his former attorney general, Pam Bondi, from her post after she failed to indict several of the president's perceived enemies, such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

MAGA Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) predicted that "more changes" are coming to the Trump administration during a new interview on CNN.

Kennedy joined CNN's Kasie Hunt on "The Arena" on Tuesday, where the two discussed the recent departure of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer following allegations of impropriety by DeRemer and her husband. DeRemer is the third cabinet secretary to leave the Trump administration this year. The other two are former Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg got an earful from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she pressed her for details about her finances.

While Omar was waiting outside an elevator at the Capitol on Tuesday, Steinberg approached the lawmaker about "discrepancies" on her financial disclosures.

President Donald Trump received a stern warning from a journalist covering the war in Iran during a segment on CNN on Tuesday.

Barak Ravid, a journalist and Middle East expert for Axios, warned Trump during an interview on CNN's "The Arena" with Kasie Hunt that Trump had just given his leverage away in negotiations to end the war in Iran by announcing on social media that he had extended the ceasefire between the two countries.

A political analyst was outraged on Tuesday when a giant Trump-aligned security company urged the U.S. government to reinstate the national draft.

Krystal Ball, co-host of the "Breaking Points" podcast on YouTube, discussed several points from Alex Karp's book, "The Technological Republic," in which the CEO of Palantir called for Americans to share in the cost of war and for national service to be a universal duty in a new episode. Ball was repulsed by the idea that a private company with U.S. military contracts could try to force average Americans into military service.

President Donald Trump announced that he was extending a ceasefire with Iran just hours after he threatened to bomb the country if negotiations stalled.

"Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal," Trump said in a Tuesday Truth Social post.
