Prosecutor Maurene Comey was fired at the Justice Department on Wednesday as President Donald Trump's administration faces fallout from its refusal to release the files related to the investigation and successful prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Politico obtained the letter, which warns that “fear is the tool of a tyrant,” an apparent swipe at the top DOJ leadership, which continues to refuse to release the files.

Sources from inside the administration revealed that President Donald Trump pulled up short on ordering an attack that could "truly decimate" Iran's nuclear capabilities, contradicting his claims about the bombing raid.

Five current and former U.S. officials told NBC News that one of the three nuclear enrichment sites struck last month was mostly destroyed, significantly setting back work, but two others were not damaged as badly and could potentially resume operations within months, and one current and two former officials told the network that Trump rejected a more comprehensive strike.

Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) kicked off a House Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday with a new plaque plastered below his nameplate emphasizing Congress’ power of the purse, an apparent reference and rebuke of President Donald Trump’s effort to claw back $9 billion in spending.

Narrowly approved in the Senate early Thursday morning, the White House’s request to claw back $9 billion in funding already appropriated by Congress largely targets public broadcasting and foreign aid. In the package, around $8 billion would be pulled from foreign aid and international assistance, and around $1.1 billion would be slashed from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, impacting PBS and NPR.

As Donald Trump faces withering criticism over his Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein firestorm, one former White House reporter couldn't help but notice that the president is exhibiting not only more confusion but also signs of physical decline.

In his column for Salon, Brian Karem, who covered the first Trump administration for Playboy, stated pressure on Trump from his MAGA base on Epstein may be having a deleterious effect on his health.

CNN's Harry Enten expressed astonishment by a new poll finding on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that's ripping apart the MAGA movement.

President Donald Trump has ordered his supporters to stop asking questions about the case after the Department of Justice publicly disputed conspiracy theories about the disgraced financier's death and a purported "client list," but Enten told "CNN News Central" that the issue doesn't seem to be breaking through with rank-and-file Republican voters.

While President Donald Trump has faced blowback from his core supporters before, his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein affair might be a bridge too far, writes The Bulwark in an op-ed published Thursday, and could lead the president to pay a “real price” for stoking a “crisis of MAGA faith.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen large numbers of MAGAs willing to suspect the worst of Trump personally,” writes journalist Lindsay Beyerstein. “It’s a sea change. That can’t be unthought, even if it can be repressed.”

A Republican congressman was forced to admit that he had voted for President Donald Trump's budget bill containing a provision that he now wants to repeal.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act contains a tax increase for gamblers, who must now pay income taxes on 10 percent of their losses, and Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) is joining an effort by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) to repeal the provision, although he was the only Nevada lawmaker to vote in favor of it.
