Trump News

President Donald Trump made the stunning claim Saturday just hours after his administration’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro that American oil companies would be “very much involved” in the nation’s oil industry moving forward.

The Trump administration carried out an unprecedented attack Saturday morning on Venezuela that resulted in the capture of its president, who has since been extradited to New York to face trial on drug-trafficking charges. Trump phoned in to Fox News hours after the attack, and was asked what he saw as the future of Venezuela’s oil industry, which manages the single-largest oil reserves on earth.

Hours after Donald Trump announced that he had invaded Venezuela and successfully nabbed President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) went on MS NOW and hammered the president for breaking the law once again.

At the same time, the president was calling into Fox News to boast about his dubious accomplishment –– while also admitting he had no idea what comes next for the invaded country — the Vermont Democrat started her interview off by exclaiming, “I’m angry.”

In the wake of the attack on Venezuela and subsequent capture of its president, President Donald Trump appeared to tease Saturday what may be his administration’s next target during a phone call with Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”

Trump phoned in to the conservative media show after his administration’s unprecedented attack on the South American nation earlier Saturday morning, which he boasted earlier about having watched in real time from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a viewing experience he said was “like watching a television show.”

President Donald Trump joined Fox News Saturday morning by phone to boast about how he was able to watch his administration’s attack on Venezuela in real time from his luxury resort in Florida, and compared the experience to watching a “television show.”

“I watched it literally like I was watching a television show, and if you would have seen the speed, the violence… it was an amazing thing, an amazing job that these people did,” Trump said, speaking with Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”

An admission from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), a hardcore supporter of Donald Trump, that he had asked for clarification on the administration’s invasion of Venezuela to capture President Nicolás Maduro and his wife earned him the wrath of some of the MAGA faithful.

Shortly after Trump announced the capture on Truth Social, the conservative lawmaker from Utah posted on X that he had spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio seeking the legal justification for the unprovoked assault on a foreign nation.

Hours after Donald Trump’s administration stunned the world by invading Venezuela and capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in what was described as a “large-scale strike” on the country, Attorney General Pam Bondi took to X to describe what comes next.

That opened her up to a substantial number of questions and criticisms from commenters.

A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling for immediate action against President Donald Trump following his administration’s unprecedented attack on Venezuela, and subsequent capture of its president and first lady.

“Let us be clear: these strikes are illegal,” said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) on Saturday in a statement on social media. “The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately.”

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority may be poised to hand President Donald Trump sweeping new power over independent federal agencies in the new year, but recent oral arguments revealed growing unease – and internal cracks – around the right’s long-standing belief that presidents should have near-total control over the executive branch.

That’s according to a Friday analysis in The New Republic, which dissected the case stemming from Trump’s unexplained firing of Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and the Justice Department’s argument that longstanding protections shielding commissioners from at-will removal are unconstitutional. A ruling in favor of the Trump White House would allow presidents to wield direct control over dozens of agencies that have operated independently for decades.

Questions about Donald Trump’s health grew louder on Friday after a new Truth Social post raised fresh questions about visible bruising on the president’s hands, with at least one analyst saying the White House’s explanation does not add up.

Trump wrote on social media early Friday morning that “The White House Doctors have just reported that I am in “PERFECT HEALTH,” and that I “ACED” (Meaning, was correct on 100% of the questions asked!), for the third straight time, my Cognitive Examination,” which he added “no other President, or previous Vice President, was willing to take.”

A key super PAC supporting President Donald Trump got a series of donations from a woman whose father, a banker, settled out felony charges of bribery in Puerto Rico, reported The New York Times on Friday.

The new details about how MAGA Inc. raised $100 million in the second half of 2025 included a number of entities with business before the administration, wrote Ken Vogel and Karen Yourish, including "$12.5 million each from Greg Brockman, a co-founder of the artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, and his wife, Anna Brockman; and contributions totaling $20 million from the parent company of Crypto.com," as well as donors from vape company Juul, whose product recently secured FDA approval, and American Rights and Reform PAC, a pro-marijuana group.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said the Justice Department’s handling of records tied to Jeffrey Epstein has only fueled suspicions of a cover-up – and that the agency’s failure to comply with the law in its release of documents only deepens the public’s distrust.

Speaking with Bulwark editor Sam Stein on "The Bulwark Podcast," Weissmann said Friday the government’s piece-by-piece approach has left critical questions unanswered.

President Donald Trump's new brag that he aced another cognitive test alarmed a medical expert on MS NOW on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Trump claimed on his Truth Social platform that White House doctors reported him in "perfect health" after his third straight perfect score.
