After reviewing unredacted files on Jeffrey Epstein at the Justice Department headquarters, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) accused the Trump administration on Tuesday of appearing to have “illegally withheld FBI interviews” with a person accusing President Donald Trump of “heinous crimes.”

“For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI’s handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor made against President Donald Trump by a survivor,” Garcia said in a statement released by Oversight Committee Democrats on Tuesday.

As President Donald Trump's approval ratings swiftly spiral downward, his fundraising appeals have become increasingly desperate, with messaging that veers toward implicit threats against supporters who fail to contribute financially.

According to Salon analyst Chauncey DeVega, Trump seeks both financial contributions and personal affirmation that his MAGA base remains loyal as his broader support erodes.

President Donald Trump, who’s expected to make his State of the Union address Tuesday night, apparently called House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) with a last-minute demand for changes to the event, the speaker revealed on Tuesday.

Speaking at a press conference in the Capitol, Johnson told members of the press that he had received a phone call from Trump shortly after the U.S. men’s hockey team defeated Canada at the Olympics on Sunday.

President Donald Trump will likely face obstacles put in place by his own Justice Department as his administration argues against refunding tariffs struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court ruled 6-3 last week that the 79-year-old president's use of an economic emergency powers law is illegal, although the majority did not say whether companies that paid more than $170 billion in duties should get their money back.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, promised "to do whatever the president wants" after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump illegally imposed tariffs around the world.

During a Tuesday interview ahead of Trump's State of the Union address, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo told Comer — whose role is to hold government accountable — that countries were backing away from negotiated trade deals after the tariffs were found to be illegal.

A growing group of Republicans who’ve labeled themselves as a “shadow RNC” are working to reclaim their party from President Donald Trump and his “MAGA takeover” of the GOP, The Hill reported on Tuesday.

“We’re concerned about the authoritarian takeover of our country by a madman who sees himself as a king,” said Michael Steele, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, speaking at the group’s conference in Maryland on Friday.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pivoted to attacking the media Tuesday after being confronted with two statements put out by the Trump administration that appear to stand at complete odds with each other.

Last June, the Trump administration carried out “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a covert attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities that the president proudly boasted had successfully “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear program. And yet, Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Iran was “probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material.”

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, occupies a unique position following a 6-3 decision against the president on tariffs, according to Harvard Law School professor Richard J. Lazarus.

Lazarus argued in a Washington Post column that Kavanaugh should use his current favor with Trump to defend the Court's institutional integrity after the president attacked his colleagues.

President Donald Trump was given a dressing-down by the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board for persisting with his tariffs policy after the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down.

The court ruled 6-3 last week that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs without congressional approval. He has raged against the decision for days and threatened to implement the levies using alternative legal means.

Of all the legal problems Donald Trump faced, from accusations of sexual assault to business fraud, he most feared the Florida stolen government documents investigation by special counsel Jack Smith that ended up being dropped when he won re-election.

That is according to “Morning Joe” co-host Jonathan Lemire, who reported on the president’s terror at being convicted during a discussion on U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's Monday ruling that permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing Smith’s final report.

President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda is decimating the Rio Grande Valley economy, threatening to flip Republican gains in the region back to Democratic control just a year after the president's historic win in a traditionally blue area, according to a report.

Construction, retail, real estate, and hospitality sectors are collapsing as Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids disrupt the undocumented workforce that anchors the regional economy. Ronnie Cavazos, president of the South Texas Builders Association, warned bluntly: "This will put us out of business if it continues," reported NBC News.
