President Donald Trump posted several letters he sent to the leaders of Myanmar, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, and South Africa, telling them that as of Aug. 1, he will increase the tax on goods coming into the United States from their countries from 25-40%.

"If for any reason you decide to raise your tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25% that we charge," he told the Malaysian prime minister in the letter.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones feared that Donald Trump's presidency could spin out of control over Jeffrey Epstein's missing client list, which he worried could result in Democrats sending him to prison.

On Monday, Jones devoted his three-hour show to covering reports that the Department of Justice had claimed there was no Epstein client list after Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News that she had it on her desk.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was pressed Monday on a new Department of Justice and FBI report concluding there's no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, kept a “client list” of powerful figures for blackmail purposes.

“There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography, which is not something that's appropriate for public consumption, but they committed to an exhaustive investigation, and they provided the results of that,” Leavitt explained when asked about the report. “That's transparency.”

The Justice Department was dodging straight answers when lawyers appeared before Judge Paula Xinis on Monday in the case involving Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland man sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador due to "clerical error," ABC News reported.

Xinis hammered the Justice Department during the morning session, pressing lawyers for answers on discrepancies in their timeline.

Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona took aim at his own party Sunday, criticizing what he described as its undying allegiance to President Donald Trump, whom he described in an op-ed as the GOP’s “North Star.”

“Extreme partisanship has infected both parties, but it plays out differently,” Flake said in an op-ed published in The New York Times.

President Donald Trump unveiled a policy he called the "Gold Card," which allows wealthy foreigners to effectively purchase residency in the United States for $5 million. It's a policy intended to replace the existing EB-5 immigrant investor visa program, which allows foreign entrepreneurs to apply for a U.S. work permit if they either invest $800,000 in the U.S. economy or create at least 10 U.S. jobs.

It's also off to a rocky start, The Washington Post reported Monday. Immigration lawyers are strenuously advising prospective wealthy foreigners that the program is illegal and that they shouldn't apply for it.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt alleged that Democrats had blamed President Donald Trump for the recent deadly flooding in Texas.

During Monday's White House press conference, Leavitt lashed out at Trump's critics.

"The View" Republican — and "Never Trumper" — host Ana Navarro warned First Lady Melania Trump that her citizenship could be removed if President Donald Trump is allowed to strip others of it.

Speaking on Monday's episode of "The View," the co-hosts were talking about Elon Musk's new political party and the reasons that he isn't the best poster boy for it.

Judge Paula Xinis probed the U.S. Justice Department over a timeline that doesn't add up in the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, the Maryland man sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador by accident.

A DOJ prosecutor previously told the judge that Ábrego was deported as a result of a "clerical error," ABC News reported in April.

Attorneys for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell were fined this week for submitting court documents generated with artificial intelligence that contained "nearly thirty defective citations."

In a 20-page ruling on Monday, U.S. District Judge Nina Wang said attorneys Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster would be fined $3,000 each.

The Republican budget measure that U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law late last week contains a provision that analysts say will allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their aircraft in the first year of purchase, a boon to the ultra-rich that comes as millions of people are set to lose healthcare under the same legislation.

FlyUSA, a private aviation provider, gushed in a blog post that with final passage of the unpopular budget reconciliation package, "business jet ownership has never looked more fiscally attractive or more fun to explain to your accountant."
