President Donald Trump engaged in “serious” discussions about suspending a key right enshrined in Article I of the Constitution in the early months of his second term, The New York Times revealed in a report published Monday, and to such an extent as to compel top White House officials to issue a “blinking red warning light.”

That constitutional right was habeas corpus, the legal mechanism ratified by the United States in 1788 by which individuals can challenge arbitrary detentions. The idea to suspend that right – at least, for undocumented migrants – came from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, as was detailed in the forthcoming book viewed by the Times.

A federal judge already has enough evidence to order a criminal contempt trial of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — and needs no further investigation to do it.

That's the conclusion of Marty Lederman, a Georgetown Law professor and former senior Justice Department official, writing Monday for Just Security.

Bill Kristol, editor-at-large at The Bulwark and founder of the now-defunct Weekly Standard, leveled the charge in a Monday column — the morning after UFC Freedom 250 played out on the South Lawn and Trump announced a ceasefire deal with Iran that Kristol says handed Tehran a victory and left America diminished.

Vice President JD Vance took a shot at one of President Donald Trump's closest allies on live television Monday.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's jobs may be at stake if they continue to oppose President Donald Trump's Iran deal, a senior White House official warned.

The threat emerged in a report published Sunday by the right-leaning Israeli daily Israel Hayom, which detailed a bitter internal White House battle over the emerging memorandum of understanding with Tehran.

President Donald Trump celebrated the tentative deal his administration reached with Iran Sunday to end the war, but according to one veteran journalist, the president’s troubles related to the conflict were far from over given the persistence of a key issue that risks reigniting the conflict.

“Let the oil flow!” Trump broadly boasted Sunday after the tentative agreement was reached, adding that the Strait of Hormuz would be accessible to sea vessels immediately.
